    Platforms: PC, Xbox One, PS4 Reviewed On: PC Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Singleplayer: Yes Multiplayer: Yes As the name suggests your main vocation in Monster Hunter: World is going to be hunting down the local wildlife and then beating it to a pulp so that you can gather up its remains, use them to craft…

  • The Bard’s Tale IV Review – A Tale Not Worth Telling

    In the village of Skara Brae where the game opens there’s a merchant who apparently sells soup. I say apparently because I’ve never seen this soup. The man selling it claims I’m not worthy to taste his legendary broth, and even the loading screen gently informs me that I’ll never be worthy, that I should…

  • Weekend Whammy: What Are You Guys Playing?

    The weekend has steamrolled into our lives yet again like some sort of demented rhino looking for its lunch. As I write this I’ve just gotten back from walking the dog and taking my two nieces to the funfair that’s in town, so now it’s time to sit down and fire up some games!

  • Marvel’s Spider-Man Review – Spectacular

    In the opening minutes of Marvel’s Spider-Man developer Insomniac nails the titular Webslinger perfectly twice; the first is when Peter Parker has to choose between trying to pay his rent or face eviction or to be Spider-Man and help fight an active crime. It’s the quintessential Peter Parker moment, the kind that has defined the…

  • V-Rally 4 Review – A Middle Of The Pack Racer

    After 20-years in a garage under a dusty tarp a developer has finally decided to wheel V-Rally out, give it a new paint job and see if the old girl can still run. It’s a sequel I never expected and a difficult one to review because even V-Rally 3 was 16-years ago and my memory…

  • Megaquarium Review – Pretty Fishy

    Having managed massive dinosaurs capable of slaughtering crowds of visitors and hospitals tasked with curing the sick, dealing with aquariums full of pretty fish feels like a relaxing visit to a spa. There’s no danger of one of my sharks breaking out and eating the guests or of people dying in the corridors because they…

  • Two Point Hospital Review – An Injection Of Happy Nostalgia

    If the phrase, “Patients are reminded not to die in the corridors” sets off your nostalgia senses then congratulations because Two Point Hospital is for, and it’s for me. It’s basically a sequel to the 1998 Theme Hospital in all but name, often feeling so similar that you could swear you were playing a remaster…

  • F1 2018 Review – Halo My Old Friend

    Another year, another F1 game from Codemasters. With such limited development time between each new release hamstringing what Codemasters can do with the franchise what we’ve seen over the years is a steady iteration, each new release tweaking the formula in various little ways with maybe one or two larger changes or features getting shoved…

  • Next Level Racing Wheel Stand Lite Review – It’s So Supportive

    So maybe you’re like me and have gone and gotten a shiny new racing wheel so that you can spend hours upon hours screaming along rally courses or lapping Silverstone in a Ferrari F1 car. They tend to come with handy clamps that you can slap onto your desk which is awesome if you just…

  • It’s The Weekend: How Is Everyone?

    Oh boy, oh boy, it’s the freakin’ weekend again people! And you know what that means! It’s time to break out the beers and wallow in self-pity! YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
