Thumb Culture Retrospective – The Beatles Rock Band

There's nothing I love more than The Beatles, well, apart from David Bowie, Pulp and actually come to think of it there are quite a few things I love more than The Beatles. When it comes to me and Rock Band, I get on quite well with it. My main issue with the games has always been my below average health, specifically my wrists, it makes it pretty hard to play Rock Band for long periods of time. Still, that didn't stop me from putting the disc in and not stopping until I'd played through the entire story mode. What I do regret is playing every single song in one go in one day without a break. Writing this review currently is about as easy as coaxing a meerkat out of its hole with car insurance. I'll just preface this review with a note. I do in fact really enjoy The Beatles, and I play ...

Accounting Plus PSVR Review – Insanity by the books?

Accounting + is an updated version of the HTC Vive VR game Accounting from Crows Crows Crows & Squanch Games. Squanch Games was founded back in 2016 by Rick and Morty Co-Creator Justin Roiland. The studio was quoted as saying it’s dedicated to creating “Funny, Imaginative and Story-driven VR Content” When first approaching this title I had read the above information and honestly had no idea what to expect. Having never played the original on the Vive, and never watching Rick & Morty. The questions that instantly came to mind were: Was it a full on VR Game? Was it just a Comedic VR Experience in the style of Rick & Morty? Let’s see what I found out… Gameplay When I first put on the PSVR headset, was greeted by the title screen (as shown above) and saw the ‘Logo N...

We Sing Pop! Review – My My, How Can I Resist You?

We Sing Pop! by THQ Nordic and Le Cortex is the latest karaoke game in the We Sing series to come to PS4 and Xbox One and features "the hottest sounds from the world's biggest artists", so long as you are in agreement with the track listing. Available as either a stand alone game singing into your smart phone or as a bundle with 2 gold topped microphones, let the drunken sing offs commence! (I don't condone drinking however it helps when it comes to singing!). Gameplay Boasting 8 game modes, 30 original song recordings and videos that span across the last 5 decades, We Sing Pop! certainly has something for everyone here. The first hurdle that I came across was connecting the USB wired microphones. Unfortunately for me, an issue with the front usb ports of my Playstation Pro made t...

Demon Gaze II by Kadokawa games and Experience is a Japanese role play game (JRPG)/dungeon crawler that is available exclusively on Playstation 4 and PS vita. Demon Gaze II is unsurprisingly the second instalment of the series that has been produced due to popular demand as a follow on to the original Demon Gaze that came out 4 years ago. So what's it all about? Lets find out! Gameplay Diving straight in, character creation is the first port of call. Choosing a portrait from between a dozen anime looking people then leads to selecting your temper, skill, name and voice. Temper is a choice between good, neutral and evil, something that ultimately is connected to the skills that you can then choose between. I went for a neutral temper and then had the choice of either a defensive ...

Max: The Curse of Brotherhood is a cinematic adventure filled with action-packed platforming and creative puzzle-solving. Armed with only a Magic Marker, Max must confront evil at every turn in a hostile and fantastical world in order to save his kid brother, Felix. Dive in and let me tell you a bit about it… Game Play The game opens as Max arrives home to find his younger brother, Felix, playing with his beloved toys. Enraged, Max searches the internet for advice on how to rid himself of his troublesome brother and happens upon a spell, via the Internet of all places, to spirit Felix away, which he recites.

Oure Review – Beautiful, Majestical And Pointless

Oure is the new release from Heavy Spectrum. All you need to do is fly around and save the dying world that your parents live in. Simples. Time to slip into a nice silk kimono and zen my way through the game. Gameplay Oure is a fairly simple concept to grasp. You are a little girl sent to a new world to save the world you and your parents currently live in. No pressure. Your new world is a cloud city and clouds are your friends. When you pass through the portal you turn into what can only be described an a flying elongated fox with a dodgy moustache. You're supposed to be a dragon, a Chinese one, one of the long ones. Your dragon flies effortlessly around, but make sure you conserve stamina for long climbs and boosting. Oure moves around as effortlessly as your dragon, go places, explore...

Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard – Forgotten But Not Gone

Something that has always interested me as a gamer and reviewer is looking back on the older console generations and picking up the games you may have missed the first time around. I’ve done it before and discovered some great games. Some great older games are now some of my all time favourites, with the likes of Mario Kart 64 and Metal Slug 3 being members of that list. Other times though you do have to admit that the older games you missed out on really aren’t worth it. It really doesn’t help that I often go out of my way to buy a terrible game. Parody and comedic games are something I find very interesting indeed. Oddly terrible games have become a genuine interest of mine. The incredibly dull Duke Nukem Forever was definitely on the right wavelength but it’s just so bad I barely mad...

Chernobyl Project Review – History Comes Alive

Chernobyl Project published by The Farm 51 Group is a Virtual Reality experience that is available on multiple systems. You can grab this for Oculus, HTC Vive, Samsung VR and PlayStation VR. Today I'm going to delve into Chernobyl Project on PlayStation VR (PSVR). Firstly this isn't a game, it's a Virtual Reality educational tour of Pripyat. For those who don't know about Chernobyl, Pripyat was ground zero for one of the biggest nuclear disasters in history if not THE biggest and it was in 1986. Information wise Chernobyl Project is full to the brim with a lot of interesting facts about the area and what happened on the build up to the day that everyone remembers. The day of the accident itself. There are some iconic locations to explore. For example there is the haunting ...

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...
