Planet Zoo 2 – PC Review

I have spent far too many hours playing management games over the years. The Jurassic World Evolution titles are certainly some of them. There is just something about starting with a bit of empty land and turning it into something impressive that keeps dragging you back in. Of course, it never quite goes to plan. You start off wanting to build a nice little zoo, and before you know it, you have spent your entire budget on an enclosure, your visitors are complaining about the price of a burger, and one of your animals is probably plotting its escape. The original Planet Zoo arrived in 2019 and gave us exactly that sort of experience. It was a brilliant game, although it could be a little fiddly at times, especially when you wanted to build something specific and the game seemed determine...

Toy Story 3: Complete Edition – PS5 Review

First released alongside the third movie back in 2010, Toy Story 3 was a well-above-average movie tie-in game. Which, considering you couldn't move for tie-ins around that time, is pretty high praise! Now, developer Digital Eclipse has just released Toy Story 3: Complete Edition, a modernised port for Nintendo Switch/Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. I hope you're ready for a heavy dose of nostalgia, as we take a trip down memory lane and experience Toy Story 3 all over again! You've Got a Friend in Toy Story 3 The original release holds a special place in my heart. It's one of the first games I remember playing with my younger brother all those years ago. It was never a particularly challenging title, but it was undeniably a lot of fun! Here's a niche question:...

Train Sim World 7: Tadami Line DLC – PS5 Review

Well, this is a piece of downloadable content that's been a long time coming! First announced for Train Sim World 4 back in 2024, the Tadami Line: Aizu-Wakamatsu - Tadami Route Add-On has finally arrived for Train Sim World 7! Fans have been clamouring for a Japanese route for years at this point, with each yearly release bringing disappointment with the absence of the Tadami Line. At £29.99, it's by no means cheap. But is this trip worth the ticker price? Train Sim World Finally Arrives in Japan! With so much downloadable content available across the series, it can be difficult to pick a favourite route. I personally enjoy lines that I've travelled on in real life. How about you, fellow Train Sim World fans? Which route do you find yourselves going back to again and again? Let me kno...

Garfield – Escape from Monday – PC Review

Garfield - Escape from Monday is a new 3D platformer from devloper OSome Studio (The Smurfs 2 - The Prisoner of the Green Stone). This casual and family-friendly game with publishing by Microids (Garfield Kart - Furious Racing) takes you into Garfield's dreams to overcome challenges by Chef Monday. Jump and kick your way across each level as you collect food and lasagna to complete each level. The game is now available on PC, Switch 1 & 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Garfield gets Cardio for Life Super Mario Bros on the original NES was my first experience with a platformer game, as I'm sure it was for many. Over the years the models and formats may have changed slightly, but the overall mechanics are roughly the same. So how does a cat that spends so much of his time loafing...

Train Sim World 7 – PS5 Review

Developer Dovetail Games are back on track once again, this time with their latest iteration in the simulation genre; Train Sim World 7! Aside from featuring brand-new routes and locomotives, what else is new? As we so often see with sports titles, yearly releases can limit the number of new modes and features. Is this worth the upgrade from last year's Train Sim World 6? Train Sim World 7 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox One Series X|S, and PC. Arrive Right on Time in Train Sim World 7! As simple as the premise is for the Train Sim World titles, I must admit I'm quite the fan. While I'm no trainspotter or anything of the sort, there's just something so incredibly peaceful about playing these games. Some noise-cancelling headphones, a cup of tea, and safely driving my train cre...

NHL 27 Deluxe Edition – PS5 Review

From developers EA Vancouver, NHL 27 is the newest addition to this well-established series. Whilst I am the type of player who enjoys sports games, growing up in England means that I am not exposed to the likes of American Football and Hockey. However, because I am just a simple girl, TV shows such as Heated Riverly and Off Campus have introduced me to the world of hockey. Therefore, when NHL 27 was released, I wanted to experience playing hockey myself (within reason). Skating on thin ice Having been released on 11/09/2026, NHL 27 is available to buy now on both PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Whilst I was extremely lucky to be given the Deluxe Edition (which comes in at a whopping £99.99), the Standard Edition is currently available for £69.99. As stated above, NHL 27 is my first hockey ...
