Spintires: Mudrunner PC Review – Grinding Gears

Spintires: Mudrunner by Saber Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive is available from today on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and through Steam. It has a very niche section of the gaming community very excited with its huge Soviet-era trucks tackling all terrains. I always thought I could drive anything in the game world but having seen some of these behemoths I'm now unsure. Lets find out shall we? Gameplay I put on my best trucking hat and picked up my controller and now I'm ready to roll. Thankfully Spintires: Mudrunner has a tutorial to start with. My god I needed this. The game physics and simulation level are top-notch and I don't have any real life experience off-road either. Initially I started with the challenge mode. Yes back to front I know but I do like a ch...

GT Sport Review – Vrooom Vrooom

GT Sport is here!! Polyphony Digital have finally released it after delays that felt like a lifetime. As a racing fanboy I'm really pumped for this game and hoping my expectations aren't dashed. This is the first PlayStation 4 outing for the Gran Turismo series. Sales for GT Sport have been great so far with it hitting number 1 in the sales charts, and beating the original Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 1. Also beating Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. A bit of info for all you Sony fanboys out there too GT Sport almost tripled the week one sales of Forza 7. I'm sat here looking at the GT Sport Collectors Edition and wondering to myself, which is better? GT Sport or Project Cars 2 which I also reviewed HERE Lets get comfy in my cockpit and put it through its paces. It's the ...

The Invisible Hours Review – A Murderous Experience

I’m sure that everyone at some point has played the classic board game Cluedo (Clue for our USA readers). The game where you travel around a mansion looking for clues as to who committed the crime (Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick). Well, imagine if you could bring that into the 21st Century and experience it in VR? Tequila Works have in essence tried to do just that with The Invisible Hours. Have they succeeded? or have they committed their own brutal murder? (In the Developer Studio with the Computer Software.) Gameplay The Invisible Hours is a Murder Mystery Adventure game where you are a member of the audience so to speak, watching a Theatre production of ‘The Invisible Hours'. The outline of the play is that Nikola Tesla has invited a number of estranged guests...

Sudden Strike 4 PC Review- Once More Unto the Breach

Kite Games have treated us to the 4th instalment of the Sudden Strike franchise, the very cleverly named Sudden Strike 4. After the previous successes, this release has a lot to live up to. This is my second foray into the series, having only played the original release before, so I'm sure my rustiness will be evident as I jump back in. So with my lunch packed in a tin, a flask of tea and a English to German phrasebook, I'm ready for action. We won the war, so I have victory running through my veins. This one's for you Grandad. Let the war begin. Gameplay Sudden Strike 4 is an RTS set during the second world war. RTS stands for Real Time Strategy, this means that everything you do is in real time and you have to be quite strategic. This isn't rocket science. If you are in any doubt then...

The Solus Project VR Review – Humanities Last Hope

The Solus Project by Teotl Studios and Grip Digital is available now on PlayStation 4 and PSVR. I have to admit I've been curious about Solus Project for a little while now. I mean why wouldn't you be? it's Sci-Fi themed and is playable on the PSVR also. Solus Project is an environmental survival simulation with a walking simulator feel to it. You are an astronaut who has crash landed on an alien planet called Gliese-6143-C. It was your mission to save all of mankind. Now survival is the key. Gameplay As I already said, this is playable on both PlayStation 4 and PSVR so it's almost like Solus Project is offering two games for the price of one, depending on how you look at it of course. Now I'm all about saving money so for me this is seen as a bonus. When you start this game up i...

Dreamworks Voltron VR Chronicles Review – Bot Bot Bot

As an 80s kid I have very fond memories of Voltron. It was among many cartoons I used to watch religiously. So when I heard a VR game had been created, I jumped at the chance to check it out. (Yes, I know it’s technically based on the Dreamworks remake that I haven’t seen, but... IT’S VOLTRON!!) For those of you not familiar with Voltron, the basis of the storyline is that five teenagers are transported from Earth to become the last line of defence for the galaxy in an intergalactic battle against the evil alien force led by Lord Zarkon. Voltron VR Chronicles has been created by Digital Domain and gives us the opportunity to ‘become a Paladin’ and experience a unique story created exclusively for VR. At a price point of $15 (UK Price still TBA), I started this game hoping to be engaged ...
