GT Sport Review – Vrooom Vrooom

GT Sport is here!! Polyphony Digital have finally released it after delays that felt like a lifetime. As a racing fanboy I'm really pumped for this game and hoping my expectations aren't dashed. This is the first PlayStation 4 outing for the Gran Turismo series. Sales for GT Sport have been great so far with it hitting number 1 in the sales charts, and beating the original Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 1. Also beating Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. A bit of info for all you Sony fanboys out there too GT Sport almost tripled the week one sales of Forza 7. I'm sat here looking at the GT Sport Collectors Edition and wondering to myself, which is better? GT Sport or Project Cars 2 which I also reviewed HERE Lets get comfy in my cockpit and put it through its paces. It's the ...

The Invisible Hours Review – A Murderous Experience

I’m sure that everyone at some point has played the classic board game Cluedo (Clue for our USA readers). The game where you travel around a mansion looking for clues as to who committed the crime (Colonel Mustard in the Library with the Candlestick). Well, imagine if you could bring that into the 21st Century and experience it in VR? Tequila Works have in essence tried to do just that with The Invisible Hours. Have they succeeded? or have they committed their own brutal murder? (In the Developer Studio with the Computer Software.) Gameplay The Invisible Hours is a Murder Mystery Adventure game where you are a member of the audience so to speak, watching a Theatre production of ‘The Invisible Hours'. The outline of the play is that Nikola Tesla has invited a number of estranged guests...

The Solus Project VR Review – Humanities Last Hope

The Solus Project by Teotl Studios and Grip Digital is available now on PlayStation 4 and PSVR. I have to admit I've been curious about Solus Project for a little while now. I mean why wouldn't you be? it's Sci-Fi themed and is playable on the PSVR also. Solus Project is an environmental survival simulation with a walking simulator feel to it. You are an astronaut who has crash landed on an alien planet called Gliese-6143-C. It was your mission to save all of mankind. Now survival is the key. Gameplay As I already said, this is playable on both PlayStation 4 and PSVR so it's almost like Solus Project is offering two games for the price of one, depending on how you look at it of course. Now I'm all about saving money so for me this is seen as a bonus. When you start this game up i...

WWE 2K18 Review – Laying The Smackdown

WWE 2K18 is the latest iteration of the WWE franchise from 2K Sports. Being developed in collaboration between Yuke's and Visual Concepts we are treated with some great visuals, but some frustrations at the same time. Let's take a look at how the game stands up in a market where it has no competition. Gameplay Controlling your wrestler in WWE 2K18 is straight forward, left stick to move, left stick in combination with a specific button to carry out grabs and strikes. It starts getting a bit confusing when you are trying to perform a specific move, say for example picking an opponent off the mat when you have downed them. This became my first frustration, each button has a number of actions assigned to them depending on the type of button press you carry out. Example in point, the Circle ...

Vostok Inc Review – A Plunder Through Space And Time

Nosebleed Interactive bring us their second offering, Vostok Inc. Build and destroy seem to be the main themes, build your empire and destroy your enemies. Seems fairly simple, but have the small independent company landed on the right planets? Time to fire up those boosters and blast into some space action. Gameplay Vostok Inc is essentially a twin stick spaceship shooter, however it's not only a twin stick shooter. Vostok Inc is the company you work for, and companies like to make money. Vostok Inc are no exception. You get a basic introduction to gameplay, move this stick to move, and this one to shoot, press this button to boost etc... Warm those thumbs up, you're gonna need them. The premise of the game is to get rich, you get moolah from shooting enemies and asteroids, so get s...

Ruiner Review – Cyberpunk Bloodbath

Ruiner is a Cyberpunk anime stylised top-down action shooter. It's the debut release from Reikon Games and produced by Devolver Digital. Before we delve too deeply into the world of Ruiner, as its Reikon Games' debut, I just wanted to give you a little info into their background. Reikon is a studio based in Warsaw that was founded in 2014. Four veteran game designers who have such titles as The Witcher Series, Dying Light and Shadow Warrior to their name. With that level of experience and knowledge, I'm pretty excited to see what they have given us in their first Indi release. Ruiner is very much a story driven game set in the year 2091 in a Metropolis known as Rengkok. You take on the role of a somewhat augmented man/machine sociopath hybrid who goes on a brutal vendetta after a voice ...

Plague Road Review – Fear The Reaper?

Plague Road, by game development studio Arcade Distillery, is the result of what happens when a kickstarter campaign successfully reaches out for backers, well 1119 backers to be accurate. Requiring a $30,000 goal, the support shown for the project almost doubled the target with $55,734 raised. So what is Plague Road all about I here you cry?

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Review – You Did It Again Naughty Dog

The Uncharted series has been one of Naughty Dog’s finest creations, commercially and critically, without a shadow of a doubt; although I have to give a huge shout out to The Last of Us being on par as well. So after four main games with the brilliant Nathan Drake, one of Playstation’s finest developing partners has decided to expand the series with a new, shorter than normal entry in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. Only this time, here come the girls. So is it any good? You bet your arse it is. Gameplay Nathan who? With “what’s his name” out of the picture, focus shifts to long-time supporting character Chloe Frazer, voiced by Claudia Black with her trademark wicked purr, who we join in the middle of the hunt for the Tusk of Ganesh in a war-torn region of India. In a nice touch for us fans ...

Shoppe Keep Review – Retail Gold

The IndieDB Game of the Year Nominee Shoppe Keep has finally come to PS4. For those of you not already familiar with the title on other platforms. Shoppe Keep is a Retail Strategy game developed by Strangefire Studios and published by Excalibur Games. Where you take on the challenges of running a Fantasy Retail Business. This is actually my first foray into this world as although I was familiar with Shoppe Keep, it wasn't a title I had ever actually picked up and played. So my opinion here is purely based on the PS4 version as I cannot compare it to the other releases. However, I did hear some very good things from a few friends that had the PC version. So let's see how much Gold its actually worth. Gameplay Ok. So before we get into the details of Shoppe Keep. I feel I need to tell y...

Sneaky Bears PSVR Review – Bears Everywhere

Sneaky Bears is here on the PSVR and is published by War Ducks LTD. This is an on the rails PSVR shooter using move controllers. You are trying to stop the evil Frankie from destroying humanity after he was discarded by the family who owned him. So, let the shooting begin. Gameplay Sneaky Bears has three modes, there is Survival Mode, Fire Mode and Bomb Mode. The game controls made me feel like I’d been thrown into an action movie. Even though I was wielding dual toy pistols I felt like a bad ass. First of all, there's Survival Mode, you fight waves of angry bears with a sole purpose of taking you out. First off you’ll notice your guns are holstered like a cowboy, on the left is a shotgun and on the right is a pistol. Reach down and draw!! Blam Blam I am an unstoppable gunslinge...
