WWE 2K19 Review – The Ayatollah Of Wrestling Games?

WWE, or back in my day WWF, is the largest wrestling movement in the world. Most people can remember atleast one main character from their childhood era and although we (may) have left our childhood of performing moves onto mattresses draped across the living room floor (do not copy me), the constant new wrestling arrivals and revolving storylines captivate both wrestling fans both old and new. WWE 2K19 developed by Japanese based Yuke's and Visual Concepts located in the home of WWE, USA, is the 6th instalment to be published by 2K Games onto PC, Playstation and Xbox. Releasing a new version of a game each year can lead fans of franchises to question whether it is worth buying each time, for instance I find myself only buying Fifa games every other year to keep the gameplay feeling f...

Lego DC Super-Villains: Sometimes it’s good to be bad!

It is that time of year again when most gamer's attentions are on which of the mega Triple A titles they are going to spend their hard earned cash on. This year has seen some absolutely epic games released in what is always an exciting time for gamers. It is therefore very easy for games to slip under the radar and with yet another entry in the long running Lego series released you could be forgiven for thinking that it's not worth looking at. However, although many of the usual elements are present Lego DC Super-villains could be just the ticket if you fancy a break from endless horse riding or hunting down murderous Greek cultists. Gameplay To be fair to both Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment and Traveller's Tales the Lego video games have been massively successful and popu...

Tetris Effect Review – An Instant Classic Or A Cheap Cash In?

Tetris Effect is published by Enhance Games and developed by Resonair and Monstars, and is available for the PlayStation 4 and PSVR. Gameplay Tetris Effect is finally out and while I'm not a massive puzzle gamer, it's Tetris!! It would be rude not to check it out. Firstly Tetris Effect runs 4k and 60fps on the PlayStation 4 Pro which looks amazing. Also the game has PSVR support where the game becomes really immersive. When you begin your "journey" with Tetris Effect there are tutorial tip pages offered to you, don't skip these as much as you want to as there are some new features in Tetris Effect. The game awards you extra points for clearing lines using a T-Spin. There is also a new move within Tetris Effect which is the "Zone Mode". Fill your zone gauge and unleash your ...

Fallout 76 – My First 5 Hours In The Wasteland

Not all games are created equal. Some are released with more expectation, a more fanatical fan base and a deeper sense of lore than others. Fallout 76 well and truly falls into that category. While Bethesda’s epic post-apocalyptic RPG’s aren’t to everyone’s taste there is no dismissing their popularity, with Fallout 3 selling 12.4 million copies. Between Oblivion, Skyrim (available on literally every platform), Fallout 3, 4 and New Vegas the reach and scope of these titles is massive and anything that comes out of the Bethesda stable needs to reach a certain pedigree. With Fallout 76, Bethesda have gone in a different direction. The open world, quest driven storyline is still there, but in a new setting and with one major addition, this time you aren’t the only human survivor. I ...

Bomber Crew USAAF DLC Review – Bigger, Faster, Deadlier, Yankier

Once more unto the breach, but this time heading across the Atlantic ocean to get a motley crew of Americans and one of their planes to do a few missions. Let's see what Runner Duck have added to this already good game. Bomber Crew USAAF, here I come. Gameplay As you are all probably aware, this is my third Bomber Crew review, I'm become quite the master of aviation. Click here for the main game review. No need for a tutorial and straight into my first mission. The first thing I noticed was that there are more crew. Well obviously, it's the Americans, so bigger is better. The guns are in different places, there is the usual tail turret, mid turret and under belly turret, but now there are two side turrets midway down the fuselage, and two side turrets at the nose as well. This means...

Super Street: The Game Review – V12 Monster or 1 Litre Minnow

Since Writing this review the game has had a few updates, however, the game has now started to refuse to load. Once we get it updated and it works we will revise this review to take into account the latest physics engine that has been patched in. I love racing games, however I have never played a game where the developers have got it so wrong. The game has no realism to it whatsoever, which is a great shame, because if they had mastered the issues I think this could have been an amazing game. Super Street: The Game was released on 13th September 2018 and is available on PS4, Xbox1 and PC. It was developed by Team 6 Game Studios, and Rebel Games. The game came from a car enthusiast magazine called Super Street, founded in 1996. The magazine and online presence is based on the afterma...

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story Review – Is There Enough Depth?

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story initially looked to have been bold in delivery, however under-delivered on both RPG and strategy elements. However, upon further play, I realised that my initial thoughts were a tad harsh. If you look past the weakness of the building elements of the game and focus on the RPG side, it’s a much-improved experience. Developed by Agate and published by Pqube. It is an action RPG, with a dabble into the building genre. Recently launched onto the Nintendo Switch, Steam and PS4. I’ve not played the variations on PC or PS4, however, I can’t help but feel consoles got the raw end of the deal with this game, due to some of the control limitations. Gameplay You begin the game being notified that you’re going to become the new Principle of Valthira Academy, as y...

Steel Rats Review – Like A Bat Outta Hell

Steel Rats by Polish based Tate Multimedia (the devs behind the Urban Trial games) is out now on Playstation and PC and is a retro futuristic 2.5D motorbike combat game set in an explosive 1940's diesel-soaked America whereby you ride through the districts of Coastal City destroying pretty much everything that gets in your path using your motorbike. With the ability to turn your front wheel into a firey spinning disc, robots and even parked cars feel your wrath as you speed along the various platforms of the levels slicing through them like a hot knife through butter, all be it with a few explosions along the way. When I played Steel Rats earlier in the year at EGX Rezzed in London I found myself getting a little frustrated with the controls. Let's see how the final release performs! ...

10 Tips to become a Gun Wielding Legend in Red Dead Redemption 2

After spending just over a week playing through the latest release from Rockstar, It became pretty obvious that there are a whole bunch of things that in my opinion should have been in the tutorial but just weren’t for some reason. So we decided we would put together a little article with a few hints and tips to help those of you that are struggling to work out some of the more hidden functions as well as just some general advice. Note: This isn’t a place where we’re going to tell you where to find Legendary Animals etc. That would be cheating! Note: Any controls that I mention below will be based on the PS4 version as this is the version that I own, I would assume that it will be the same on other versions however the buttons may be different.

Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Review: A Legendary Gunslinger?

Not that I need to do a formal introduction here, I doubt there is a person alive who hasn’t at least heard about this coming out, but to appease the gaming gods (and the boss man) here it is: Red Dead Redemption 2, the latest addition to the Rockstar Games Wild West Franchise takes us back into the world of John Marston and Dutch Van Der Linde. This tale however, is told back in 1899 before the events we know from the original Red Dead Redemption. I’ve seen all the hype and rave reviews of 10/10 etc. spread across the internet and gaming media for this release, but I have my own views which to be honest I’m not sure everyone is going to like (but I might be wrong). So let’s find out if this truly is ‘the greatest game of the year’. Gameplay Red Dead Redemption 2 brings us back int...
