Riot: Civil Unrest PS4 Review – Clash Of The Pixel People

Riot: Civil Unrest is, as it sounds, a game based on riots. Developed by Merge Games you get to play as either the Police or angry protestors in scenarios that simulate actual events around the world. Cue some Kaiser Chiefs, I predict a riot? Gameplay On initial thoughts of what Riot: Civil Unrest could entail, I found myself really looking forward to getting stuck into a real-time riot simulator as it is something I have never taken part in in the real world. You see riots all the time reported in the media, therefore taking control of one of the sides involved in an attempt to win the clash was an interesting idea. Reading into the background bumf to the game, you learn that the creator of Riot: Civil Unrest, Leonard Menchiari has experienced rioting first-hand at the NoTAV p...

Don’t Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland Review – Old School, Old Cool?

Scriptwelder bring us Don't Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland, the sequel to Don't Escape 1,2 & 3. The question is, is it any good, or just a clever name? Well I decided to grab my hammer and chainsaw, as these are always useful, and headed on out into the wilderness to find out. Tally ho! Gameplay Don't Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland is a classic point and click graphic adventure. Find things, use things, get confused and so on. The style is retro 8 bit graphics, though you can change the font to modernise it. You play a character called David. David has dreams that are really premonitions. Use the dreams to ensure that you protect yourself from the dangers that lurk over a 4 day period. All you have to do is put plans in place to stay safe overnight. Sounds simple enough, good. T...

Pode PS4 Review – Teamwork Has Never Felt So Rewarding

Pode, by independent developer Henchman & Goon, is an amazing co-operative platform puzzle game that has been inspired by Norwegian culture. Available on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch this exploration game is quite simply amazing and a breath of fresh air to me. Gameplay Pode features two main characters; a little rock called Bulder and a fallen star called Glo, together they must work together as they wander through the mysterious and magical Mount Fjellheim in a mission to help Glo get back into the sky. Incidentally, Pode is Norwegian for "Graft"! Playing as either two-player co-op or in single player you must utilise each of the character's special abilities in order to activate and reach the exit on each level. In the early stages, the basics of movement and jumping ...

Warhammer: Chaosbane Beta PC – A refreshing Action-RPG

I've always been a fan of Diablo and have recently re-discovered my love for Diablo 3 since its release on the Nintendo Switch, Warhammer: Chaosbane caught my eye. Upon first looking at the game, developed by Eko Software, you could be forgiven for comparing it to Diablo but upon playing it, you soon release that Warhammer: Chaosbane has simply been inspired by it and added the whole world of Warhammer by placing right into the heart of the game. There are a few good Warhammer games out at present with the release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 recently and Last year Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr which also was an Action RPG but didn't score that high. The game is currently in Beta which runs from March the 7th until March the 13th and it's officially released on the 4th of...

Hitman HD Collection PS4 Review – You Are In My Crosshairs

Hitman HD Collection by IO interactive is available now for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Gameplay Hitman HD Collection is two games in one. Firstly you have Hitman: Absolution and secondly is Hitman: Bloodmoney. Both these games have been remastered to 4k resolution with enhanced graphics with 60fps. Now I am a longtime fan of the Hitman series since the original PC releases, so I was very happy to receive a review code to revisit my time as Agent 47. All the classic weapons are here from your Silverballers to fiber wire and poisons. Depending on how you choose to play each of these games will change your experience as Agent 47. Personally I love to take my time and wait for the perfect moment to strike. There is nothing better than treating each hit provided like a work ...

Anthem Pc Review – Bringing The Thunder And Raining Fire

Playing through the Origin Premiere access early week of Anthem I have just one thing to say to the developers at Bioware: Bravo. Anthem is a game I've been looking forward to since it was initially announced at E3 2017, and my excitement has been met with an experience that is incredibly fun to play. I know a lot of people were hesitant to trust in a game being published by EA due to their sordid history with loot boxes, but there is no presence of loot boxes anywhere in the game that I've been able to find. Sure there are microtransactions, but none of them offers a paid advantage to players, only cosmetic items for customising the look of your Javelin. Development for Anthem started way back in 2012 and had been kept relatively secretive until it was teased at E3 2014 by Bioware Edmo...

Dirt Rally 2.0 PS4 Review – Gritty Racing

Do you want a rally game that is both immersive and entertaining? Well then look no further than Codemasters lastest release Dirt Rally 2.0, released on PS4, Xbox One and PC we return to the gravel tracks, asphalt roads and winding tracks. Gameplay Without teaching you to suck eggs, Dirt Rally 2.0 is an immersive and deep rally game that brings new elements to an already brilliant game (Dirt Rally). I put a massive amount of time into the previous iteration, but was left feeling a little let down with the lack of post-release content, only a few rallycross tracks saw that mode let behind, but with Dirt Rally 2.0 we get 8 rallycross tracks and a whole bunch of new locations for you to race around. Being the official racing game of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, you get to ra...

Dead or Alive 6 PS4 Review – King of the… Oh Wait!?

Dead or Alive 6 is the latest in a fairly long running franchise from Team Ninja. Personally, I don’t have too much experience with this particular series, however, I am a big ‘Beat’em up’ fan so when given the chance to review this I was looking forward to it. Everyone knows the DOA games, however not necessarily for the fighting, it has a somewhat rough reputation as ‘oh the one with the bouncing breasts’ which, while true enough is a little harsh in my opinion (at least going into the review). The Developers did make it clear that Dead or Alive 6 would be a much more serious entry into this genre and offer more in the lines of competition and less ‘jiggle’ mechanics. So, does this game offer more than a little titillation? Let’s find out… Gameplay Dead or Alive 6 is split int...
