Doctor Who – The Edge Of Reality Review

With Doctor Who making its long-awaited return to TV. I take a look at what the teams at Maze Theory & Just Add Water have created with Doctor Who - The Edge Of Reality. Originally released as a VR title at the end of September, it is now available for consoles. Complete with character likeness and voice from the 10th Doctor (David Tennant) and Current Doctor (Jodie Whittaker). I am playing the PlayStation 4 release on a PlayStation 5 console. A Big Ball Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff Maze Theory is the team behind the popular title Doctor Who The Lonely Assassins that was launched on mobile. Following great reviews, it was brought to PC, Playstation, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles. The Lonely Assassins received mostly popular reviews. Gameplay You start the game in a laundret...

Horizon Chase Turbo: Senna Forever DLC Review

Ayrton Senna, a name synonymous with Formula 1. You can't even mention the sport without someone bringing his name up. This Brazilian driver, although no longer with us will live on eternally in the minds of fans all over the world. Senna was a driver who was a class act on and off the track but wasn't without his dramas behind the wheel. He knew his limits, and when he beat those limits, he wanted to establish new ones. He had a level of concentration so high that nobody understood how he could achieve such feats. From his first podium in Monaco in his first season in 1984 where it was hammering down with rain, in a car the spent its previous years either retired or not even qualifying, to his first maiden win at his home Grand Prix of São Paulo in 1991 with a car that had gearbox issu...

Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water Review

Do you love photography? Great. How about visiting infamous suicide spots in rural Japan? Amazing! Boy have I got the game for you! Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water marries these together in a very unconventional way that will genuinely keep you awake at night. Long after you turn the console off, every noise in the house will make you tick as the eerie moans of lost spirits linger in your mind. This is survival horror unlike any other you have ever played. There are no guns or grenades. Just you, your torch, and your Camera Obscura. The Project Zero games, otherwise known as Fatal Frame in Japan started out in 2001 on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. After three games, the focus was shifted to the Nintendo market, presumably because motion controls are good for snapping creepy ghost pict...

Crysis Remastered Trilogy Review

We are swimming in a sea of remasters at the minute. Everywhere you look there is something getting the treatment. Are we just pining to stay in the past? We are also spoilt for choice with first-person shooters, with Call of Duty and Battlefield leading the charge. So we have to ask ourselves, do we need another remastered first-person shooter? Well in terms of Crysis, yes, I believe we do. Crysis: Remastered was available on its own last year, but now we have all three games in the Crysis Remastered Trilogy. Crysis Remastered Trilogy - But Can It Run Crys... Oh, Forget It! When Crysis first came out in 2007, a lot of people didn't get to play it for fear of their PCs bursting into flames and melting into a miserable pile of circuit boards. This may be the opportunity that people never ...

Far Cry 6 Review

By now you've seen the comments on social media. "If you've played one Far Cry game, you've played them all". "It's just the same game in a different location, sometimes with the same topography". "It's just Assassin's Creed but with a different skin". But do you know why Far Cry 6 is going to do so well? Because it is a winning formula. Much like Grand Theft Auto and The Elder Scrolls series, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Far Cry 6 - "Rule #1 - A Good Guerrilla is a Hidden Guerrilla" Far Cry 6 is an ahem...far cry (I'm sorry) from its first game released in 2004 which was developed by Crytek who is more known for the Crysis series. Look out for the Crysis Trilogy Remastered review coming soon. The first game is the only one Ubisoft had nothing to do with. In total there have been six...

Ghostrunner has received its PS5 and Xbox Series X release taking the originally released game to new heights. Developed by One More Level, Slipgate Ironworks and 3D Realms, this cyberpunk parkour-samurai-ninja foray looks stunning. With so much history steeped into the development companies, I was excited to get my PS5 switched on so I could get going! Ghostrunner - The Ultimate Version of Bop It! Should you have the PS4 version already then it is refreshing to know that the PS5 version is a free upgrade. I wish others would follow suit! After playing the likes of Mirror's Edge, could I transfer any of my building leaping skills to Ghostrunner? Let's get it on! If you enjoy my review be sure to check out my past articles here.

Diablo II Resurrected Review

If you were playing any looter game in the early 2000s, it was probably Diablo II. This game, back in the day, was considered a masterpiece and now it has a fresh coat of paint, and boy does it look good! I was studying in music college at the time and discovering new and old metal bands. These bands were my soundtrack to Diablo II, and they still are for Diablo II Resurrected. Many of my acquaintances had sunk thousands of hours into this genre-defining game, right up until the release of Diablo III. Diablo II Resurrected - "Not Even Death Can Save You From Me" As you probably know, Diablo II Resurrected is a role-playing ARPG developed and published by Blizzard. Vicarious Visions also had a hand in its development regarding the 3D implementation. Its original iteration was released in ...

Gley Lancer Review

As is the case in the 90's, many games weren't available to us here in the UK, and Gley Lancer was one of them. Originally it was published by Masaya and released in 1992 on the Sega Mega Drive and got ported to the Wii Virtual Console in 2008 with a translation in the manual. Now nearly 30 years later, the 16-bit shooter Gley Lancer has reached western shores fully loaded and fully translated. Gley Lancer - A New Enemy Approaches Ratalaika who are known for publishing ports and indie titles are present while Shinyden handles the porting duties. Gley Lancer will release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch on October 15th, 2021. Shoot 'em ups were ten a penny back in the day, so what makes this one stand out? Read on to see what I thought of the...

G-Darius HD Review

Not to be confused with the Pop Idol finalist Darius (remember him?), or the one-hit-wonder Dario G, who coincidentally released their hit 'Sunchyme' in the same year, G-Darius is originally an arcade game released in 1997. A year later the original PlayStation received a port and that is how I played it back in the day. I say that, I played a demo of it. In fact, I still have the demo from Official PlayStation Magazine with Tombi on the front as the main featured demo. G-Darius - Ain't No Sunchyme Here I remember enjoying it but I could not find the game anywhere, and it is still quite uncommon today. Since then it has been released on a few compilations. G-Darius was the first in the Darius series to use 3D polygons, but the gameplay remained in 2D. By 1997 shoot 'em ups were getting t...
