Far Cry 5 Review – It’s Not A Far Cry From Far Cry
For better or for worse Far Cry 5 is very much a Far Cry game. Ubisoft isn’t known for their big risks, though, so it’s hardly surprising that six Far Cry games in (not counting Blood Dragon as a full game) they don’t want to take huge risks with a series that has clearly been…

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless 7.1 Headset Review – Whisper Sweet Nothings In My Ear, Baby
Oh, the freedom of having no wires attached to you yet still being able to chat with friends or listen to music while wandering around naked in your own home clutching a bowl of coco-pops like it’s the only thing left in your life worth anything. Yup, the wireless age is a golden one, or…

Surviving Mars Review – But Where’s Matt Damon!?
Mars, the Red Planet that has always held a strange fascination for us little Earthlings.

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review – Hack ‘N’ Slash Blast
Let me preface this review by stating that I didn’t play the first Vermintide game. I had a few chums slicing and dicing the Skaven hordes, but I never found the time to pick up the Left 4 Dead style game set in the Warhammer universe for myself, so this review of the sequel is…

Gravel Review – What’s With Racing Games And One Word Names?
Milestone have been around for years, quietly pumping out a variety of racing games that have rarely amazed but have clearly found themselves small audiences. Now, though, Milestone are back with another original IP and while it’s unlikely Gravel is going to be competing with the big boys of the genre it’s a surprisingly robust…

Kingsburg 2nd Edition Review – Roll Me Some Gold
Games usually get a second print run if they’ve done something right, so this second edition of Kingsburg seems to indicate that when it first came out people must have quite liked it. Me? Well, I’m still a relative noob, so I never played it when it first came out or in the intervening time…
