Hi, I’m David. Welcome to my gaming blog! Here, I write about games, gaming and everything in between. I self-host this blog. Self-hosting websites have the disadvantage that sometimes they are not available - uptime is not 100%, and search engines don’t like that aspect. However I feel it is worth it for the learning experience and the control I have over every aspect of my sites. If you need to contact me at any time, please use: [email protected]. A mugshot of me

Epoch Light Gun Game Review

I setup and played the ‘Epoch’ rail-shooter game available on steam, with my Sinden light gun setup. Negatives I have to say, I didn’t like the mechanics of the game.

This doesn’t really work very well on the Sinden light gun, as, although there are controls for moving - 4 buttons and a d-pad - on the gun, constantly having to switch to them and away from the ‘aim and fire’ action does not work very well. ...

When Sega decided to discontinue the Sega Megadrive Collection on Steam, they offered a low price to buy all of the games, one of which was - you guessed it, Gunstar Heroes. ...
