Trials Rising Review
Rising: Now, this is more like the bike racing I’m into. I have been a keen follower of the Trials series since the original Trials HD appeared on the Xbox 360. It has not been the smoothest of rides, it has to be said, but on the initial look, thing...[Read More]
Final Fantasy IX Review
Final Fantasy IX: The PS1 Final Fantasy games have always said a lot about you as a gamer. When asked whether you preferred 7, 8 or 9 – or even 6, for you purists out there – the answer was always a telling one. When I told friends that FFVIII was my...[Read More]
Anthem Review
Intro: Anthem looked like it might have had what it took to dethrone Destiny as the leading console MMORPG. Bioware – who, with a traditional focus on single player RPGS, are one of the more unlikely developers to take a crack at the crown – have tur...[Read More]
Metro Exodus Review
Choo-choose this one! I’ve been a big fan of the dark, brooding and melancholy Metro games. They’ve managed to bring a real sense of world-building and story-telling to the world of first-person shooters, and their pacing and design has generally gon...[Read More]
DiRT Rally 2.0 Review

Kingdom Hearts 3 Review
Kingdom Hearts: Square Enix is no stranger to extended development cycles – and as such they’re well aware of how difficult it is to meet the hype that such projects garner. Kingdom Hearts 3, a game that has taken far too long to come out, could neve...[Read More]
Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 2 Review
Monster Energy Supercross 2: I’m going to be super honest here. I usually avoid most games from Milestone. There is a valid reason for that, and that is usually because they never really set my world on fire when it comes to how the games play. I rem...[Read More]
SENRAN KAGURA Burst Re:Newal Review
Burst Re:Newal: Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal may well be one of the last Senran games of the series current form. Thanks to Sony’s stricter set of guidelines going forwards concerning titillating titles such as Senran Kagura, the art of the impossibl...[Read More]
Resident Evil 2 Review
Resident Peeve-il? Resident Evil 2 was somewhat of a masterpiece at the time, creating a critical, commercial and social groundswell that few titles manage to grasp. It remains a fan favourite and a real nostalgia trip. So it comes as little surprise...[Read More]
Hitman HD Enhanced Collection Review
Hitman: I love Hitman games – I mean really, what’s not to love? An emergent approach to stealth and murder that encourages perceptive strategizing and repeat playthroughs. The best of these games have offered us sandbox stages to murder our way thro...[Read More]
