Moons Of Madness Review – Exploring The Depths Of Darkness

Welcome to life on Mars, or at least, something like it. Moons Of Madness, developed by Rock Pocket Games and published by Funcom, is a first-person sci-fi psychological horror adventure that’s packed with jump scares and puzzle-based problems. A deeply unsettling combination in more ways than one. As Shane Newehart, an engineer based on the Trailblazer Alpha Mars research station, you’re given a first-person insight into your character’s struggle with his sanity amid increasingly strange and frightening situations on the red planet. The opening sequences of Moons Of Madness make it clear that this is no ordinary space exploration game. Right from the off, you’re thrust into a truly dysfunctional scenario in the form of one of Shane’s nightmares. Claustrophobically dark space stat...

Doom 64 Review – Left In Hell: The Forgotten Slayer

Back in 1997, the world was going crazy for 3d. The Nintendo 64 was out, Mario 64 had changed the gaming landscape, and a behemoth of the First Person Shooter genre was released on the world - GoldenEye. In its wake, Doom 64 struggled to get the attention it truly deserved. Bethesda are now rectifying that with the re-release of the cult classic Doom 64, available now across all major platforms (PS4, Xbox One, PC and Switch). Whether you're done ripping and tearing in Doom Eternal, or looking for something to hold you over until its Switch release, let's see if this forgotten release can stand up with its peers. Gameplay Doom 64 is a fast-paced shooter with a focus on movement, big guns, and all kinds of hellspawn trying to stop you from reaching the exit. So far, so Doom. And ...

Persona 5 Royal Review – Takes Your Time, Takes Your Heart

Atlus' Persona 5 released on Playstation 3 and 4 in 2016 to widespread acclaim. Fans of the J-RPG genre loved the lengthy story, in-depth character relationships and action-stealth exploration and critics were into it too. Persona 5 Royal is an upgraded, even more content-rich edition of the original title. There is a lot to explain, and I hope to make this review accessible for those like myself who do not have a degree in Shin Megami Tensei lore. Persona 5 Royal can be purchased digitally for £49.99. In Persona 5 Royal you play as *name of your choice* (we'll call him Phil from now on), a nerdy looking fellow who got chucked in the sin bin for using his fists to stop a powerful man from carrying out a rape. Phil is a good lad, but has been forced to transfer across the country to a ne...

First Look At The Playstation 5 DualSense Controller

Sony has released pictures giving us a first look at the Playstation 5 DualSense Controller. However, I don't think it has had the impact they were hoping for. Let's dive in for a closer look! When looking at the DualSense, two things immediately jump out at me. Firstly, the controller is a dual colour design. Usually, we see a one colour sleek controller and to be honest, it looks like the controller is wearing a cami. Secondly is the design, I personally feel that front on it looks like a next-gen Xbox controller. From the side, the controller does look a lot more reminiscent of a classic DualShock controller. You can see that the controller has more depth to it as from the front it looks quite flat. This is definitely a better view of the DualSense, which makes me think that it...

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Review – Zero or Hero

Last month Capcom released Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection. This epic collection consists of 6 titles, 3 Zero titles and 3 ZX titles. I have been a Mega Man fan since my introduction to it on the NES. I remember returning to it over and over again. Despite knowing exactly what this re-release entails, I was hyped to get playing. This review is for the Nintendo Switch edition of the collection, however, it is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. Gameplay For those who are new to this franchise, let me introduce you to Mega Man (Originally known as Rockman). He was created as a part of an experiment converting a human into a fighting robot. Many people will recognise Mega Man in his original form, from the series. However, he has taken on many different looks throughout the titl...

Exit the Gungeon Review – Exit, Strategy

Enter the Gungeon released on Nintendo Switch back in late 2017. For the uninitiated, Enter the Gungeon was a rogue-lite with more guns than you can shake a broomstick at, and it hooked me immediately with its fast-paced, bullet-hell action and wild boss design. The story, such as it was, revolved around four characters entering a towering structure called The Gungeon, which was populated by sentient, aggressive bullets. They had each heard the legend of a revolver which could kill the past and wipe out mistakes. Weapons ranged from bog-standard shotguns to screen-dominating lasers. And that's not all, we're talking egg-firing grenade launchers, a guitar which launched wild solos as you hold down the trigger... even a t-shirt cannon. Exit the Gungeon picks up after each character achiev...

Razer Kraken X Review – For Real?

Budget headsets aren’t supposed to be this good. Seriously, The Kraken X is a whole new level. I’ve never known such great quality from such a meager priced headset. You’d expect a headset in this price bracket to come with some huge and numerous concessions that hamper the quality - but simply put, it doesn’t. In fact, it comes with very few. Razer has turned one such concession on its head and used it to its own advantage. The build is pretty much entirely made from plastic. Wait, what? I hear you cry! This leaves the Kraken X weighing in at a featherweight 250g and it’s one of the lightest headsets I’ve ever used. ‘ULTRA-LIGHT COMFORT’ claims Razer on their website, and for once, the marketing blurb is spot on. After a prolonged (and mainly fruitless) session of Battle Royal mo...
