Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun continues to be on my “to-do record”, I’ve solely gloriously cleansed a handful of ranges for The Emperor and actually wish to end it. Nevertheless, it was a stealth launch of H.R. Challenge Video games GyroGunner, an surprising sequel to their extra vanilla however no much less stellar shmup GyroBlade that has my consideration this weekend. This time it is a twin-stick shooter affair with loads of bang for little or no buck. Don’t skip it, particularly if you happen to like reflexes problem and high-score chases.
