• Forza Horizon 4 Review – Better Than Ever

    Tossing a Ford Cosworth with a sickening amount of power around dirt bends in the U.K. sounds like something I’d like to do on the weekend, but given that I can barely afford to survive on Pot Noodles it’s also a bit of a pipe-dream. Well, nearly, because for the fourth iteration on the massively…

  • Dakar 18 Review – What Car? Dakar

    The Dakar rally is an epic test of driving skill, endurance and navigation as it spans hundreds of kilometres over unforgiving sand dunes and tricky terrain. Just completing the thing is a massive achievement, never mind actually winning it. Despite how amazing this all sounds there hasn’t been a Dakar game in years, which feels…

  • xFyro xS2 Wireless Earbuds Review – What Sorcery Is This?

    How many times have you nearly been murdered by wires? They lie on the floor just waiting for your unwitting foot to get trapped, or they hang around your neck, carefully biding their time until they strangle you to death. You can’t trust them, which is why wireless is the way of the future, people,…

  • Weekend Whammy: What Are You Playing?

    The weekend has arrived like a cartoon anvil being dropped on your head by a sneaky Wile E. Coyote, and as always that means it’s time for game, movies, books and other awesome stuff!

  • Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review – A Solid End To The Trilogy

    If there’s one thing that I’m always going to feel disappointed about when it comes to the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise it’s that Lara Croft never once picks up her awesome dual pistols. No, for some reason this iteration of the tomb raiding badass focused on her bow, which just isn’t as cool, I reckon.…

  • Weekend Whammy: Whatcha Playing?

    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…
