Firewall Zero Hour PS4 Review – It’s not the game we want, but is it the game we need?

You palms sweat in the moments before combat. Your heart beat is steady, resting in anticipation of the adrenalin surge to follow. Time counts down and you look deep into the eyes of your team, knowing that some or all of you may not come back. That's the risk you take as a mercenary. A gun for hire. A soldier of fortune. A quick wipe of your palm and a readjustment to improve your grip. The command comes and you move out in co-ordinated attack patterns, laying down covering fire and calling out targets to teammatesBullets whizz past you, smashing into walls behind you. Every corner is a death trap, every foot step a betrayal of your location. At the sound of enemy fire, you step back into the alley, blind firing  around the corner, hoping your bullet hits it's mark, before theirs...

Madden NFL 19 PS4 Review – hut hut……hooray?

It's that time of year again with summer pretty much over when the guys at EA Sports  unleash the latest editions of their behemoth like sports franchises. Always first off the starting blocks (despite starting after the proper football season -soccer to our American cousins) is the latest Madden. So does Madden NFL 19 mark a paradigm shift in the series or is it a case of another year of marginal gains. Put on your shoulder pads, strap on your helmet (oo'er missus) and join me to find out whether Madden NFL 19 scores a touchdown or is ruled incomplete! Gameplay The biggest change to gameplay in Madden NFL 19 is the introduction of 'Real Player Motion'. This key game enhancement makes the players more controllable and a flick of the sticks can give a change of speed, cuts and dodges ...

Marvels Spider-Man PS4 Review

When I first heard the news of there being another Spider-man game coming out I had mixed feelings, being completely honest part of me wished they would just leave it alone and maybe look at another property, but then another part of me wanted them to keep at it in the hopes that eventually they would get it right… Insomniac are the latest team of Devs to tackle the unenviable challenge of bringing Marvels Spider-man into our gaming hands. After many attempts by other studios to a varied reception (to be polite) could this be the one game to rule them all? (Oops sorry.. wrong franchise). Gameplay I’m sure everyone is familiar with the origin story of Spider-man so I won’t go into that here, which is a good thing as Marvels Spider-man actually takes place a little further into the lif...

Yakuza Kiwami 2 PS4 Review – The Dragon of Dojima Returns with a Vengeance

That’s right, it’s time for me to talk about Yakuza again... It is of course one of my favourite game series to talk about & this time it’s to look at the re-make of the PS2 game Yakuza 2; Yakuza Kiwami 2. Just like with Kiwami, the hopes here are that it’s bigger, badder & well just better all around (fingers crossed) than the original from 10 years ago. Before I get started here, I am going to assume that if you’re looking to play or researching this title then you already know about the series and have played at least one of the previous titles (as this is the 3rd game in the series). While I have tried to avoid it, there may be spoilers for Yakuza Zero / Kiwami mentioned below (you've been warned!). For the benefit of any newcomers who may not have played the others, ...

Bomber Crew PS4 Review – (With Secret Weapons Shhhhh!)

Curve Digital and Runner Duck Games have released Bomber Crew for the PS4. I thought as I had already played the game on the PC (Here) I would take a quick look and let you know my thoughts. Parachute at the ready, flask of tea and full instructions to smoke me a kipper, I'll be home for breakfast left for the kitchen staff, AKA my wife. Chocks away once more. Gameplay The premise of Bomber Crew is simple. Take control of a bomber during World War II and bomb things, drop supplies, take recon photos and shoot down as many enemy fighters as possible. One would initially think that conjuring the spirit of Douglas Bader would be the way forward, well that might work, but I was more in the land of a different Douglas, Douglas Adams. The reason for this is simple, these two words will ...

Rainbow Skies PS4 Review – Play the Rainbow

After 6 years SideQuest Studios have finally given us the sequel to Rainbow Moon with Rainbow Skies. I think the biggest question I had going into this review was: Bigger and better platform, will we get a bigger and better game? To answer that question simply... Yes, in almost every department. Personally I didn’t spend much time with Rainbow Moon. If I’m completely honest I lost interest in it pretty early on. I will hold my hands up here and say at the time I wasn’t really enjoying RPG games very much so it could have been wrong place at the wrong time more than a bad reflection on the game... But I digress. Rainbow Skies is a much more rounded game with a strong narrative that keeps you playing. I have already found myself looking at the clock to see huge chunks of time disapp...

All-Star Fruit Racing PS4 Review – A Sweet Racing Smoothie!

All-Star Fruit Racing is the latest release from 3D Clouds and is finally making its way over onto console. Being completely honest at first glance when I was given this to review, I was expecting a budget ‘Mario Kart’ wannabe with little to no variety or replay value. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier to be wrong! Taking into account the price point (£31.49 (on PSN) at the time of writing). I think All-Star Fruit Racing could be up there as one of the most fun ‘pick up ‘n’ play’ racing games for the PlayStation 4. Below are the reasons why I think everyone should play this game… Gameplay The first thing that impressed me with All-Star Fruit Racing was, instead of bringing up the main menu and letting you pick and choose what you want to play around with, it instantly throws yo...

Conan Exiles PS4 Review – Addictive, Buggy, Brutal

Conan Exiles from Funcom is a Survival Game that I had been waiting for since it was first announced. As someone who generally doesn’t go for this genre of game I’d hoped that being in Robert E. Howard’s famous fantasy world would pummel me into seeing what was so popular among fans of this genre. The first thing that surprised me was that it can be played both online (how I expected it to be) and also in an Offline Solo Play mode. Just as a small disclaimer: The bulk of the review below has been done using the Solo Play mode. As I didn’t want any external factors of my internet connection or other users influencing my review. However, I asked one of our other members (Alex, who is also incredibly handsome, funny, and smart) to give me his thoughts on the Online Party play to give...

X-Morph Defense: European Assault DLC Review – Times Up!

X-Morph Defense by Polish based EXOR studios, who are responsible for the title Zombie Driver, is a tower defence game crossed with a top down shooter where (plot twist) you get to destroy planet Earth.  Available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, X-Morph Defense has been in development since 2013 and unlike many games that use the Unreal engine, EXOR have created their own called Schmetterling which when translated isn't an alcoholic beverage for an elf but infact means "butterfly". Taking to the PS4 controller I was intrigued to see how this twin stick hybrid concoction would turn out! Gameplay The opening visuals are pretty cool as your alien race decide upon which planet in the universe is best suited for their needs.  Through a robotic sequence of events, Earth gets chosen and the har...
