Steel Division 2 Beta PC Preview – Grand Strategic Gold

Over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to play some of Eugen Systems new World War II Real-time strategy game Steel Division 2. Having played the first Steel Division, I was thoroughly excited to give the sequel a proper try. This time around, the RTS action takes place on the eastern front, instead of Normandie. Steel Division 2 will be the first game from Eugen Systems to be independently published. I was a bit worried Steel Division wouldn't get a sequel due to almost half of the development team going on strike over unpaid wages in early 2018. Steel Division 2 was initially slated to be released on Steam on April 4th but was delayed to May 2nd. It has now been delayed again until June 20th so that the dev team could take player feedback and make changes to the game where ...

Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid PS4 Review – Mighty Morphin’ Fisticuffin’

Allow me to preface this review by saying I am a big fan of fighting games. A night of fisticuffs with friends is easily the best reason for leaving the comfort of my own home.

Warhammer: Chaosbane Beta PC – A refreshing Action-RPG

I've always been a fan of Diablo and have recently re-discovered my love for Diablo 3 since its release on the Nintendo Switch, Warhammer: Chaosbane caught my eye. Upon first looking at the game, developed by Eko Software, you could be forgiven for comparing it to Diablo but upon playing it, you soon release that Warhammer: Chaosbane has simply been inspired by it and added the whole world of Warhammer by placing right into the heart of the game. There are a few good Warhammer games out at present with the release of Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 recently and Last year Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr which also was an Action RPG but didn't score that high. The game is currently in Beta which runs from March the 7th until March the 13th and it's officially released on the 4th of...

Anthem Pc Review – Bringing The Thunder And Raining Fire

Playing through the Origin Premiere access early week of Anthem I have just one thing to say to the developers at Bioware: Bravo. Anthem is a game I've been looking forward to since it was initially announced at E3 2017, and my excitement has been met with an experience that is incredibly fun to play. I know a lot of people were hesitant to trust in a game being published by EA due to their sordid history with loot boxes, but there is no presence of loot boxes anywhere in the game that I've been able to find. Sure there are microtransactions, but none of them offers a paid advantage to players, only cosmetic items for customising the look of your Javelin. Development for Anthem started way back in 2012 and had been kept relatively secretive until it was teased at E3 2014 by Bioware Edmo...

Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor Martyr Review – Bloodfest

Warhammer has always been a piece of my life. I remember the early days of playing D&D style adventures during lunch breaks at school that culminated in epic battles using carefully painted figurines that spread across a battlefield of huge proportions in the common room. The Warhammer club was in full swing! The Warhammer universe has made steady progression across digital platforms for many years and Neocore's latest offering, Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr finally hit consoles in Summer. For the sake of this article I am going to refer to the game simply as Martyr from now on. Are you ready to purge the unclean and protect the Imperium from corruption? Lets get on with it! Gameplay In a first for the Warhammer 40K Universe, Martyr is branded as an open-world s...

Moonlighter Review – Like Indiana Jones owned a shop.

Introduction Moonlighter is hard. There I said it. Don’t let the cute graphics, simple gameplay and cartoon violence lull you into a false sense of security. It is a real challenge to make any real progress and you will die a lot playing this game. Moonlighter is a rogue-lite, action RPG where you play as Will, a brave shopkeeper who dreams of being a hero. Published by 11bit studios and created by Digital Sun the game has two very distinct sides to it. You are both a beast slaying, sword swinging adventurer and a timid shopkeeper with dreams of becoming a hero, but it all makes sense when you play the game. The game is available on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Gameplay During an archaeological excavation some gates which lead to different realms and dimensions were found on the outs...

Operation Warcade: War, what is it good for? PSVR apparently!

Back in the mists of time (well the 1980's) before the arrival of the home computer the only place to play the latest video games was the local arcade. Developers Ivanovich Games have attempted to recapture this nostaligia with Operation Warcade. Following a successful debut on Occulus and Vive, Perp Games have now published Operation Warcade on PSVR. Those of us of a certain age will remember the arcade classic Operation Wolf and it is very obvious that Operation Warcade is a homage to this classic shoot em up. From the virtual UZI 9mm submachine gun to the 80's style arcade graphics the game is a love letter to the arcade games of our youth. So nostalgia aside is Operation Warcade worth your virtual quarters? Gameplay You start the game in the aforementioned virtual 80's arcade sta...
