Black & White Bushido Review – Yin Meets Yang!

Black & White Bushido by Good Catch Games is now available on XBox One & PS4, bringing to the table a mixture of stealth, skill, death and ultimately great fun! Released on PC via Steam back in October 2015, Black & White Bushido was well received by gamers therefore the battle between light and shadow finally coming to consoles is a very anticipated hit. Black & White Bushido is an arena based couch competitive and newly introduced online multiplayer, samurai sword, shuriken throwing battle between two factions; the light and the shadow. I am probably showing my age if I described it as being similar to Atari's Joust but this isn't a bad thing, far from it, this is building upon a classic platform game and making it their own, something that Good Catch Games have carr...

The Surge Review – Mechanised Mayhem

The Surge is a hard-core action RPG from Deck 13 and Focus Home interactive, the studios behind Lords of the Fallen. Although The Surge bears some similarities to Dark Souls and Bloodborne, it is more than capable of standing up on its own merits, and in some ways manages to improve the tried and tested formula. Gameplay The Surge starts off with an impressive little cut scene that sets up the story and introduces you to your character and CREO, the antagonist organisation. You are then presented with two sets of starting armour, after which the game begins. You are dropped immediately into a combat situation with a handy tutorial. Tutorials are handled very well by placing the text on the environment itself, making for a less intrusive and more immersive experience. On the surfa...

Waddle Home PSVR Review – A New Gem Or Left Feeling Frosty?

Waddle Home is a game about rescuing cutesy little penguins, what I'm saving them from is beyond me. Although I'm leading them to a rescue ship which looks exactly like a UFO. Wait it is a UFO, surely that's abduction right? Am I leading poor, defenceless penguins to be abducted by aliens for testing? For all I know I could be sending these helpless penguins to their doom. Luckily the game leads you to believe you're doing good, so I'll just agree for now. The game is available on PSN, Steam, Oculus and Samsung Gear. This was on PSVR Starting the level off, you see a caged penguin. Aiming the beam 'emitted from the PS4 controller' towards the cage then a simple tap of the X button releases the penguin. When I think about penguins, I think of them waddling along anywhere they please,...

Late Shift Review – The Decisions Are You

Late Shift is a high stakes FMV crime thriller. Forced into a brutal London heist, you must choose your own adventure in this interactive cinematic experience. With adaptable storylines that lead to one of seven conclusions. Gameplay You play the character of Matt, a valet parking attendant in London. Decisions that you make determine his actions throughout Late Shift. These decisions vary from whether you should give a pretty blonde keys to a high performance sports car, to deciding whether to go up or down in an elevator. After I found the first ending and getting attached to Matt all bets were off in the following playthroughs. I sent him running from gunfire, abandoning any kind of selfless attitudes and only thinking about myself. Each experience followed generally the same story...

Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds Review – Last Man Standing

Introduction Dropping onto an island, armed only with your wits and underwear (honestly!), you need to find weapons, armour and medical supplies in order to survive a 100 player Battle Royale style death match. Coming from the mind of Player Unknown, a man who has extensive experience in crafting these types of games from his work on both ARMA 2 and ARMA 3 Battle Royale mods and his involvement on King of the Kill for H1Z1, this is by far the most polished and true experience of a Battle Royale/Hunger Games type video game. With the ability to enter solo, duo or in a squad of four, to say this game is an adrenaline pumping and downright terrifying game would be an understatement. Knowing your demise could be around every corner or just over the top of every hill just gives you a buzz t...
