Deathloop Review

Deathloop is finally here ladies and gentlemen. Deathloop is a brand new IP developed by the brilliant minds at Arkane Studios who brought us Prey and Dishonored what can we expect? Well, the game director Ding Bakaba has described it as an "inverted Cluedo". It is essentially a big old murder mystery where you are stuck in a time loop played from a first-person perspective. It was originally announced at E32019 and again at the PlayStation 5 showcase in 2020 and scheduled to release later that year. But, after a couple of delays due to the ongoing pandemic, Deathloop is finally here. Deathloop - If At First, You Don't Succeed...Die, Die Again Since Microsoft acquired Zenimax Studios, the parent company of publishers Bethesda, they have honoured the agreement to make this a timed con...

The Persistence Enhanced Review

The Persistence Enhanced a stealthy first-person shooter where you need to harvest the stem cells from your opponent's spine. Yes! you read that right, stem cells are the main requirement for progression within the game. Have you got the spine to survive this nightmare? Thank the team at Firesprite for sending the code for Persistence for an honest review of their title. I jumped at the chance to be thrown into space aboard a stranded ship with no engine, all while currently orbiting a black hole!! Playing the role of Security officer Zimri Elder, things are already stacked against you. In addition to this, you are dead along with the rest of The Persistence crew. Gameplay In a setting that reminded me of the 1997 film 'Event Horizon' the ship's cloning machines have gone into o...

Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition Review

Metro Exodus, the final part of the Metro video game trilogy. Based on the world created by Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of novels starting with Metro 2033. Glukhovsky also collaborated in developing the games. Part of a franchise including a Metro 2033 board game released in 2011 and a planned feature film. Continuing Artyom's story in this post-apocalyptic version of the world where nuclear war devastated the world and led to various monsters coming into existence. As well different factions including Communists, Neo-Nazis, neutral groups to gangs of bandits. Metro Exodus definitely got my tikhar going! Having never played any of the previous Metro titles I was extremely dubious about picking this up. Would I appreciate a storyline partway through? Also what have I missed out on already?...

Time Carnage Review – Shooter With Attitude

What do a zombie, a velociraptor and a laser firing robot have in common? You are going to kill them all in Wales Interactive’s wave shooter with attitude – Time Carnage Coming out this week on PSVR, Oculus and Vive Time Carnage is a frantic wave shooter which specialises in its variety of weapons and change of locations. Wave Shooters are common on VR systems. As a game environment VR struggles to simulate natural movement and as we have seen in recent games like Bravo Team, failing to get a movement system right can damn your title’s chances of success and have it heading to the bargain shelf of your local CEX store quicker than a Kevin Spacey movie. https://youtu.be/srRwWOz25M4 Gameplay So if you can’t do movement well, create a game where you don’t need to move. Although there ...

Star Wars Battlefront II Review – Is The Force Still Strong?

Much anticipated Star Wars Battlefront II by EA DICE, Motive Studios and Criterion Software has blasted onto our consoles and boy has it generated some mixed responses from the gaming world, unfortunately mainly negative. I have had the erm... pleasure to play through the latest offering in the Star Wars world and have temporarily cast the negativity aside to try and give you my honest verdict, Red 5 standing by! Gameplay Star Wars Battlefront II's newest feature is the single player campaign that sees you play predominantly as a female Imperial Special Forces Officer named Iden Versio. Jumping into her storm trooper boots just as the second Death Star is destroyed in Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi, you are sent on a mission of retaliation by your father Admiral Garrick Versio called...

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...
