Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye Review – Ice Ice Baby

Gaming mice come in all shapes and sizes along with a vast array of extra buttons bringing with them additional functionality. The burning question is however "Which mouse is best for you?" Having taken a look previously at the Roccat Kone Aimo Gaming Mouse earlier in Summer that featured 12 buttons and a mesmerising lighting job how would Roccat's latest gaming mouse fare? Ladies and Gents I give you the Roccat Kone Pure Owl-Eye, now available in white. Sitting infront of my PC screen the first thing that stands out is the illuminated colour changing Roccat logo located where your palm rests onto the mouse. The vibrant pulsing emblem stands out well against the white of the mouse and begins to get positive comments from staff walking by. The main job of the Kone Pure...

Battlefield V PC Review – The Glory of Battle

EA & Dice are back with their latest instalment of Battlefield and this time they are going back to World War 2 with Battlefield V. Currently available on PC, PS4 and Xbox, I was lucky enough to play the game 11 days before release as one of the advantages of having Origin Access premier. It was originally going to be released at the beginning of October but was delayed for a month to tweak the game after feedback received from earlier public beta tests. This has paid off as you can see changes that have been made for the better. One of the biggest controversies before the games release was fans being furious at EA for introducing female soldiers into the game and them being a prominent feature in the official gameplay trailer. However, EA like to be as historically accurate as...

Videokid An 80’s Treat? Or An 80’s Throw Back?

Videokid has been created by A Pixel Trip Studios and published by Chorus Worldwide. The 1980's, an inspiring time to be alive. Some of the greatest movies were created, and some of the all time greats came to life on your home computer. It was also the golden age of the arcade.

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...

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! ...
