Unearthing Mars 2: The Ancient War PS4 Review

In our latest PSVR game review, I have dug into Unearthing Mars 2: The Ancient War (pun intended). It is the sequel to (no surprises) Unearthing Mars and is billed as a fast paced VR First Person Shooter. Having not played the first I was pleasantly surprised by a good looking intro that gave me a backstory and purpose and then a sleek tutorial to get me up to speed on how to play the game. With some strong PSVR titles released in the last month, like Astro Bot and Firewall Zero Hour, I was looking forward to getting back into my Virtual Reality for some sci-fi blasting! Released by Winking Skywalker Entertainment a year after the original, Unearthing Mars 2: The Ancient War features Aim Support, a good range of weapons and even time control elements (think Max Payne). Winking...

Fire Pro Wrestling World PS4 Review – Woooooooo

Fire Pro Wrestling World from Spike Chunsoft has finally made its way over to the PS4. It’s very much a niche title and the good thing is that most people will know from the title and a screenshot if they will enjoy it. Fire Pro Wrestling World slots very nicely into the 2D Wrestling game genre and aims to fill that void in today’s market... The question is; will it Suplex its way into new gamer’s libraries or should it finally submit to the modern day 3D games? Gameplay Fire Pro Wrestling as a franchise has been around since way back in 1989 and definitely has its own fan base that would be salivating at getting a new game in 2018 on a current gen console. As a fan of retro gaming in general this franchise has always peaked my curiosity and since I was a huge fan of the 90’s WWF game...

Human Fall Flat PS4 Review – A Stand Up Puzzler.

In these days of epic open-world games, narrative driven sagas with character depth and player investment, it makes a nice change to take a step back and play something completely stupid and fun. Human Fall Flat is that game. No need to worry about a plot-line or a skill tree, the biggest decision you have to make here is what colour hat to put on. So sit back, grab a cuppa, get ready to switch off and solve some puzzles as you steer boneless human Bob around his recurring dreams about falling. Made by No Brakes Games and published by Curve digital on consoles, Human Fall Flat is available on Mac, Linux, Windows, Switch, Xbox One and PS4, which is the format I played it on. Gameplay Bob has dreams about falling recurring dreams he can’t escape, but to move on through the game you hav...

Fishing Sim World PS4 Review

Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening fellow gamers (wherever you may be)! I’m going to be completely up front with all of you before I even start this review. I don’t fish, I have never fished and I have no interest in starting any time soon. Why am I telling you this up front? Because I don’t want to be the reviewer that pretends to understand something when I have no real idea of any of it. On a positive note, it does mean the review is going to be based purely on the game and not on any prior interest in the sport. So does Fishing Sim World reel me into the world of fishing or leave me to drown in my sorrows? Let’s find out! Gameplay Fishing Sim World is the latest release from Dovetail Games, It’s exactly what is says on the box. A full on simulation of Competition fishing acr...

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 ...
