TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 Review – High Speed Fun

Racing returns to the Snaefell Mountain course in TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2. Published by Bigben Interactive and developed by Kylotonn Racing Games, we take back to the track and build on the previous title that we reviewed here. Gameplay Without delay, let's dive straight into the gameplay section, and in essence, the main mechanics are pretty similar to the previous iteration. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a street racing game, however, it has a big difference. The main game is centred about the looooong track on the Isle of Man. For those of you that have watched this on TV then you will know that the speeds these riders get up to is astounding. The game is no different, the sense of speed as you are bouncing off the limiter is super impressive. So what else can...

Doom Eternal Review – In League With Satan

Let's face it, Doom Eternal needs no introduction. It's the latest release in the genre-defining series, and after Doom (2016) ran in, punched a big hole in our chest, and tore our hearts out, fans have been eagerly awaiting more. For those of our readers who have no idea what I'm talking about, the original Doom revolutionised first-person shooters way back in 1993. Developer ID Software took everything they learnt for their previous title, Wolfenstein 3D, and turned it up to 11. It's a frantic, unrelenting game, which pits you against the toughest S.O.B's Hell has to offer. ID Software have always shown great reverence when it comes to Doom. It's a game that has been ported to everything (even calculators), but when it comes to sequels, there's only a small handful. As such, when a...

Rugby 20 Review – A good Try?

Just in time for the 2020 Six Nations comes Rugby 20 from Developers Eko Software and publishers BigBen Interactive. Rugby has been poorly served by the video game industry over the years although to be fair it is not the easiest game to convert to the pixel format. However, given that both American Football and Baseball have seen successful sims in recent years it shouldn't too hard to cater to those ardent egg chasers out there should it? Rugby 20 is the latest edition to a franchise which appears to be operating on a biannual basis. Rugby 18 was not particularly well received by critics and players so can Rugby 20 finally be the game to break the mould. Read on and find out. Gameplay One of the biggest issues I have with Rugby 20 is the lack of depth in the game modes. There is y...

Two Point Hospital Review – I’ve Got A Bad Case Of Lovin’ You

Back in the 90s, Bullfrog Productions were on top, creating hits, and making tidal waves with their Theme series. The first title Theme Park went on to receive countless rereleases, and multiple sequels. However, it's spiritual successor Theme Hospital remained a cult classic, and only ever received a smattering of ports. For years, fans have clamoured for a new entry, and whilst there's been pretenders, nothing has lived up to the heights set back in 1997. Until now. Two Point Hospital, created by Two Point Studios, is the sequel we always wanted. When the game's development is lead by Mark Webley and Gary Carr, two gentlemen responsible for the creation and direction of Theme Hospital, you can be sure it's worth booking an appointment. Originally released on PC in August 2018, Two ...

Overpass Review – Mud, Glorious Mspoud!

Every time I hear the word off-road I immediately think of the Off-Roaders from the Fast Show (showing my age again) and mud. Lots of mud. This winter has provided lots of the latter and the prospect of reviewing an Off Road game sounded a bit like my daily drive to work at the moment. Overpass has been billed by Swedish developers Zordix AB and publishers BigBen Interactive as unique in its genre offering a realistic take on off-road driving with over 20 officially licensed quads and buggies to be driven over technical obstacles along wilderness tracks. So does Overpass deliver on the dev's promise? Well, as they said in the Fast Show "Lets off-road"! Gameplay The opening menu offers four basic game modes - Quick race, Career, Custom challenge and Multiplayer. Quick race i...

Hunt: Showdown Review – Spine Chilling Evilness

Is it safe to come out now? For the last few days, I have been playing a multiplayer survival horror called Hunt: Showdown by Crytek on the PS4 and boy have I jumped out of my seat a few times in the process! Gameplay In a nutshell, Hunt: Showdown is what would happen if you blended Van Helsing, The Walking Dead and elements of The Darkzone from The Division into one and mixed them with some 1895 Louisiana inspired countryside. Your core mission is to play as a hunter and track down mysterious bounties either by yourself, in a duo, or even a trio by investigating areas in your world that emit a strange glow that can only be seen while using a mysterious energy called Dark Sight. For every bounty there are 3 locations in the world that you need to explore that contain a pile of e...

Out now across all consoles and PC, was I going to find Worbital out of this world or a failed launch?

The basis of this game is a simple one however when it comes to strategy and timing, you will really need to keep your wits about you amongst the chaos!

Zombie Army 4: Dead War Review – Dead Shot

Lumbering on to the PS4 this week is Rebellion's Zombie Army 4: Dead War. Is this the heart pumping, sphincter tightening zombie action game you've been waiting for, or a decomposing, rotten entry in an over-saturated genre? Gameplay The cor(ps)e mechanics of Zombie Army 4 are the same as previous entries. With tight shooting and some hellish slow-motion sniper kills, the game feels responsive and satisfying when annihilating the countless amount of zombies. Each of the game's 9 missions is themed and presented like a classic Hammer Horror, showing that the developers understanding of the genre. Missions are quite simplistic and as a result of this, you may feel a bit brain dead running from one point to another and then shooting endless zombies. There is some variety, such as blo...

The Surge 2 The Kraken DLC Review – Get Descartes

The Surge 2 released on PS4 on 24 September 2019. You can check out my review here. The Kraken is purchasable as part of the Surge 2 season pass, which also comes with additional weapons and gear, for £19.99. You can also grab the mission on its own for £9.49. The Kraken takes place aboard, well, The Kraken; a sea-faring vessel housing a retro-futurist town which has been designed to allow residents to escape the tumult of the mainland. You are lured to the ship by Sidney Turner, who is attempting to withstand an attack from a troupe of robotic pirates and a troublesome rogue AI. Expect rather shallow musings on what it means to be alive (with the "I think therefore I am" quote from Descartes shovelled in for good measure) and a couple of choices over the course of the narrative.

Decay of Logos Review – Decay Of Dreams

Decay of Logos. From the title, I thought this was going to be another one of those logo/company guessing games however I was relieved to actually find a rather cool looking third-person RPG game. Developed by Amplify Creations and published in partnership with Rising Star Games, Decay of Logos has been on a journey since early conception by game designer and programmer Andre Constantino in 2014. Playing as a young girl named Ada you explore the fantasy world with your mystical Elk as you seek revenge on the culprits behind your village being destroyed. All is, however, not what it seems. Gameplay Yes, everything isn't at all as it seems! I will confess, I have held back on writing this review for a little while. I wanted the devs to address issues that other gamers have picked up o...
