Psycho Wolf Review – Psycho Killer Qu’est-ce que c’est?

Hydragon bring us a game that has 2020 written all over it, the aptly named Psycho Wolf. This is a game about revenge, bloody violent revenge, bloody violent merciless revenge. Kill or be killed. That is the way of the Psycho Wolf. So it's time for me to dress up in my wolf's clothing and exact some bloody violent and merciless revenge on some simple animal folk in the forest or woodland, maybe houses, possibly mountains. I do love a surprise. Gameplay Psycho Wolf starts with a little backstory about how I came to be psychotic. It seems that I play a rather unsavoury character who is obsessed with greed, then revenge, I suppose there is a subtle clue in the title though. Once escaping from being imprisoned for fraud I single mindedly set out to kill, kill, kill. I started on lev...

Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – What Exactly Is It?

Cloud Gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the terrible name for a great service. Formerly known as Project XCloud, this is the free addition to Xbox Game Pass that allows you to play games on mobile devices. By heading to the Xbox Game Pass app on your phone you'll see a tab labelled "CLOUD". Now when I say phone, unfortunately at this stage it's only on Android. There is talk of a browser-based solution coming for iPhone users at a later date. Also, this will work on any compatible Android device; tablet or phone. In this post, we're going to be looking at cloud gaming with box game pass ultimate and asking the question; what exactly is it? Cloud Gaming With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - How Does It Work? Ultimately, XCloud (sorry Microsoft, it's easier to write) streams the c...

Cyberpunk 2077 Review – Cyberjunk 2020?

Eight whole years since the first announcement of Cyberpunk 2077, eight whole years. We got our first trailer in 2013, then silence.

Then, radio silence ended E3 2018 and, Keanu Reeves happened... so all aboard the hype train again!
