Razer Raiju Review – Taking Control

We recently got the chance to have an extended time with the Razer Raiju controller and what better way to report the findings back to you, than to write a review!  After all it's kind of our thing here....reviews. In The Box So first things first, inside the box you get a nice little note from Razer saying thanks for purchasing your new Razer Raiju controller. This is a neat little touch and brings a little bit of humanity to the product and the company. So moving deeper we find a case to store your Razer Raiju inside and keep safe, a USB braided cable that slots into the back of the controller, a small screw driver for removing those extra buttons on the back and then the standard Razer stickers for adorning your walls, ceiling, furniture or cat. Thumb Culture in no way endors...

Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame Review

Monster Energy Supercross is the latest official release from Milestone in Partnership with Feld Entertainment Inc. Their aim is to allow gamers to experience what is considered by many to be the most competitive and highest profile off-road motorcycle racing championship in the world. Now, right up front I want to be honest with you all and say I’m not an avid fan of the sport, I do enjoy Speedway, so I have an appreciation for bike racing. But, it did mean that going into this review my knowledge base of the riders and tracks was pretty limited. Monster Energy Supercross is available on all major gaming platforms (PS4, XBox One, Switch & PC). This review however is being done based on the PS4 release. So as someone who wasn’t a fan before playing the game, the question is did I...

Read on to find out... Gameplay So the gameplay element is where it all is on show, being an RPG if you don't get those gameplay elements right, Kingdom Come: Deliverance will fail even before its begun to canter.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Launching at 25GB New Trailer Launched

Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be launching on the 13th of February 2018 and gained a launch trailer on the 12th, a day before launch. The trailer can be found below and the Kickstarter success is to launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Martin Klima also issued a statement on Reddit regarding a hefty size, stating that rather than designing DLC they made the choice to go back to the version to be released and make significant improvements to it. We could have used these three months to get some rest, or we could use it to create some additional content and sell it to you as DLC, but we went back to the version-to-be-released and worked on it and tweaked it and polished it and the results are obvious The drawback, of course, is that most of the data in the old build were replaced and had ...

Sociable Soccer Review – The Beautiful Game?

For gamers of a certain age there will be fond memories of playing a simple but awesome football game called Sensible Soccer back in the 90s.  For me it was THE number one game to play with my friends on our Atari ST.
