Aberdeen Hosts 2017 4TG Event On July 29th and 30th

og-imageog-image

Last year I covered 4 The Gamers, their very first event held in Aberdeen, Scotland. It was a two-day event brimming with people, indie developers, Youtube guests, VR demonstrations and much more!

Considering it was only the first year the turnout was massive with thousands of eager fans descending on the building, and I was lucky enough to get handed a press badge and unleashed upon the throngs of people. It was a hell of a weekend filled with great folk, fun games and plenty of laughter.

Now 4TG is returning for its second year, now with more indie developers, more guests and more STUFF! Now, it’s not going to be attracting the likes of Bethesda showing off their newest titles or anything like that since it’s still early days, but there’s still going to be plenty of games to play and things to do, and some lunatic has yet again handed me a press badge to cover it all! Clearly they did not learn from the last time.

So, look out for a write-up heading into August, and depending on who is attending keep an eye out for interviews as well, or even some reviews of games from indie devs.

And if you fancy coming along yourself, go grab some tickets and come say hi.

Lisboa Board Game Review

Designed by: Vital Lacerda Published by: Eagle Gryphon Games Players: 1-4 Playtime: 60-120 Minutes Review copy supplied free of charge by Asmodee UK Jesus Christ, I have absolutely no idea where to even start with Lisboa, the latest table-hogging, mind-destroying eurogame from the highly respected Vital Lacerda. I’ve reviewed one game from Vital previously and utterly adored its lavish production values and stellar gameplay, but damn was it hard to review simply due to the way every mechanic tied to everything else. To explain one thing meant having to digress into about a billion other things before stumbling back to the original topic like a drunk emerging from a pub lock-in. It was confusing. Lisboa is just as complex and tricky to discuss, so please forgive me as I muddle through talking about Lacerda’s latest attempt to turn my already worryingly overheating brain into a melting pot of pink goo. The entire game is based around Lisbon, which is actually Lacerda’s hometown an...

Seriously Lazy Colonists

Platforms: PS4, Xbox One, PC Reviewed On: PC Developer: Mothership Entertainment Publisher: Team17 Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: No Review code provided free of charge by the publisher. My love of sci-fi mingles with my enjoyment of ruining people’s lives through ineffectual planning and general stupidity in Aven Colony, which takes the joys of constructing a city and then throws a thin science fiction theme at it in the vague hopes it’ll stick. Coming from a small team of just five people I wanted to be very clear about my feelings before we even jump in; it’s a good game, and such a small team should be damn proud to have built it from the ground up. They’ve got a bloody good future ahead of them. At its core Aven is a very safe city-building/management game where you’ll be juggling your people’s desires for a short commute to work with having enough farms to feed them all, power to keep everything running, a constant water supply and even policing to ensure crime is kept t...

Lobotomy Board Game Review

Designed by: Sebastian Kozak, Michal Kozak, Michal Marciniak, Maciej Owsianny Published by: Titan Forge Games Players: 1-5 Playtime: 60-180 minutes Review copy supplied free of charge by Esdevium Games. Lobotomy is not a small game by any means, dominating the table its placed upon after its lengthy and somewhat tiring setup process. Nor is it an easy game to enjoy at times. It’s fiddly with a myriad of individually simple rules that as a whole can be difficult to remember and constantly send you flicking through the poorly laid out rulebook. It would be easy to dismiss Lobotomy right there, but I’ve enjoyed fiddly games before. In fact one of the earliest board game reviews I did was on Arkham Horror, an intricate mess of mechanics, rules and dice rolling that takes ages to setup and that loves to make you reach for the rulebook. So I persevered. Was it worth it? Kind of. Lobotomy, as its name would suggest, takes place entirely in an asylum for the insane, and as the players y...
