Greetings race fans, and welcome to this review of F1 2018 by Codemasters. So what can we expect from this franchise after last years amazing success? Well lets take a look and find out!

Airheart Review- Fishing Ain’t What it Used to Be

Blindflug Studios have decided to take us on a journey to the stratosphere, but will it be a meteoric climb for Airheart or an arduous climb to the top. Flying goggles at the ready and a tuna sandwich (you'll see) and it's time to pilot my plane into the sky. Gameplay Airheart is a twin stick shooter, a crafting game and a hunting game all in one. Bargain! The sky is split into different levels of altitude and your quest is to reach the top. Not just reach the top, but catch the legendary Skywhale. Launch your plane and play a little tutorial to get used to the controls. Learn to steer, to shoot, to harpoon things, all the essentials, then set off for real. So what's to do? Well you need money, and money comes from fishing. Simply fly into the fish to catch them, it couldn't be easier. B...

Roccat Cross Headset Review – Something Like A Phenomenon?

I don't know about you but over the years I have had a few different gaming machines and being a bit of a family guy with small children I can't always get to enjoy my gaming in the evening feeling the explosions rippling across my carpet from the subwoofer nor the sounds of gunfire whistling around the room as I may wake them all up! As a result I have had a fair few headsets over the years and this has also led to the issue of having various types of headset to suit the device I am playing on. Enter the ROCCAT Cross, a stereo headset that offers multi-platform connectivity between your devices. On unboxing the Roccat Cross I was greeted by the headset as seen above along with 2 interchangeable leads and the instruction book. Of the 2 anti-tangle leads, one featured a 1.2m sin...

Hello Neighbor Review – Horror and stealth in your street.

Hello Neighbor is a horror stealth game from Dynamic Pixels and tiny Build and it has just been released on iOS devices and PS4, it could already be played on mobile, PC and Xbox. It is a software survival puzzle game with a really unique style. American spelling aside (neighbour has a U in it and so does colour) I turned off my spell check and got on with reviewing this beautifully weird game. Gameplay Hello Neighbor is broken down into acts and in each one the house is very different and increasingly expansive. The game launches with you as a kid in the street who witnesses something strange in his neighbor’s small suburban house. You have to use stealth cunning and puzzle-solving skills to negotiate the map and find out what that nasty neighbor was doing. Get seen or noticed by him an...
