NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Ultimate Ninja STORM 4 Review
Just a Shadow Clone? I’ve been an on-again, off-again fan of the Ultimate Ninja Storm series for a while now. There’s always been a sense of spectacle that really did the Naruto name proud, but there have been some stumbles in realizing the world’s most popular ninja in a videogame. Does Ultimate Ninja Storm fix those issues, or stumble onwards? Story: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the final game in t...[Read More]
Bombshell Review
Same Old Bomb and Dance: Duke Nukem has arguably blown up, and after a lawsuit and a few bad games, the fallout is a painful one for fans to watch. Enter Bombshell, a new game from 3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment that has risen from these very ashes. Previously penned to be a companion to our loveable muscle-bound misogynist, Shelley “Bombshell” Harrison now has her own title, a top down s...[Read More]
XCOM 2 Review
Started at the Bottom now I’m here XCOM 2, sequel to the 2012 reboot of the classic turn based strategy series, is a blast. During development I was worried that it would be too familiar to those of us who had squeezed every last drop out of Enemy Unknown, but I’m relieved to say that XCOM 2 brings enough new elements to the table to deserve a whole new addiction. Story: If you loved the original ...[Read More]
This War Of Mine: The Little Ones Review
This War Of Mine: This War of Mine: The Little Ones did fantastically when it launched last year on PC, challenging players to keep a group of survivors alive whilst witnessing the horrors of war and asking whether they’ll participate in those horrors themselves. With the launch of This War of Mine on consoles and the simultaneous release of its expansion pack The Little Ones, a lot more players c...[Read More]
Resident Evil 0 Review
Resident Evil 0: Resident Evil Zero was the last true Resident Evil game. I’m not trying to be elitist here – the revolutionary Resident Evil 4 that would appear on Gamecube three years later was phenomenal, but it forever changed the series, how it played and how we viewed it within our industry. Resident Evil 0 was a culmination of everything the team at Capcom had learnt over the past five game...[Read More]
DiRT Rally Review
Shock to the System: I may not have done my due diligence when it came to researching Dirt Rally. Inspired by thoughts of Sega Rally and its arcadey ilk, I jumped at the chance to play a new title like those venerated classics, especially from the consistently excellent Dirt series. So when I booted it up and found it their most accurate racing sim yet, I was shocked. Story: Despite this initial s...[Read More]
Just Cause 3 Review
Out with a Bang: Just Cause 3 is a game I’ve been looking forward to for years now, an excitement that long pre-dates its announcement. The second title in the open world series showed exactly how silly developers Avalanche were looking to get with the franchise, so I was eager to see where they could take the insane action next. I’m pleased to say Just Cause 3 is just as bananas as I hoped, with ...[Read More]
Deadpool Review
Pistols and Penis Puns: Deadpool was a surprisingly good game based on one of Marvel’s most R-rated heroes, but its distribution was cut short by licensing issues. Now that debacle has been sorted – and the trailer for the Deadpool movie has whipped fans and newcomers alike into a DP frenzy – it’s the perfect time for a re-release. Story: Deadpool is a game about Deadpool made by Deadpool – or at ...[Read More]
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Review
Running a Racket: I don’t really care much about sports games usually, but Nintendo have always managed to bring enough joy to the genre to make me forget about that. In the past I’ve loved the Mario sports games and put countless hours with friends into Mario Golf, Strikers and the Olympic Games titles. The Mario Tennis title on the Gamecube was a standout game for me and my friends, so it’s stra...[Read More]
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series – Episode 6: The Ice Dragon Review
Not an end, but a beginning: Make no mistake, Telltale’s Game of Thrones finale is by no means an ending. Considering the large amount of work this episode had to do to wrap up all the story threads the season had set up I was reluctant to believe it was going to attempt it – and I was relieved to find my hunch was right. The sixth and final episode of what we now know is only the first season of ...[Read More]
Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash Review
Zip to the Finish: Chibi-Robo Zip Lash is a 2D platformer in much the same vein as Nintendo’s recent Kirby and Yoshi games. It’s full-to-bursting with cuteness, and has some neat ideas up its sleeves that differentiate itself from Nintendo’s other properties. That being said, this budget title can feel like a bit of a one trick robo before the ten hour campaign is up. Story: Aliens are grabbing ou...[Read More]
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker Review
Survival is Futile: The original Devil Survivor 2 launched a few years back on the Nintendo DS and happily joined the ranks of that system’s fantastic RPG library. Four years on and I’m excited to welcome DS2: Record Breaker to the 3DS’ similarly stellar choices. The industry is re-release mad at the moment, we’re enjoying a renaissance of repackaged-but-barely-touched cash grabs, and very few of ...[Read More]
