God of War Review – A Calmer Ghost of Sparta?

Yes, it’s that time… The Spartan himself, Kratos has returned in his first new adventure for the PS4. He's no longer happy with tormenting the gods from the Greek Mythos, he now wants to put the Norse gods in their place as well. God of War from Sony's Santa Monica Studios is one of, if not THE most anticipated PS4 Exclusive of the year. I know it’s one I’ve personally been looking forward to since it was first announced. Having collected and played every other release multiple times, it was torture when I found out the game was sat patiently at home for me while I was at work (Yes I considered going home sick just to play it... but I’m a model employee so I did my job and kept my Kratos rage at bay!) As it is always the case with the God of War series, the story starts off with a tr...

Dynasty Warriors 9 Review – Big Trouble in Little China

Fancy playing a massive open-world hack n slash game set in China? Well you're in luck as publisher Koei Tecmo along with developer Omega Force has produced Dynasty Warriors 9, the latest instalment, and largest, of the Dynasty Warriors series. Available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Pc, I have been fortunate enough to don my best samurai outfit and wield the largest sword I can find to bring you my findings young Daniel Son. What are Dynasty Warriors I hear you ask? Well, the award-winning gaming series is a spin-off from the 1985 turn-based strategy "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Koei and is loosely settled around the Chinese historical text "Records of the Three Kingdoms" depicting the events of the late Eastern Han dynasty 184-220AD and the Three Kingdoms period 220-280AD. ...

Assassin’s Creed Origins Review – A New Beginning In An Ancient Land

As you all know by now, I’m a sucker for a Steelbook, so whenever I’m given the option of one I jump at it. I’m happy I did, this has to be one of the best-looking steel books I’ve seen in a very long time. The images don’t really do it justice as the Characters are a glossy finish making them almost pop off the cover Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to get my hands on one of the big collector’s editions to review, although it would have been nice. I had to buy the game just like all of you. (Thanks Ubisoft!) Anyway, now the salutations are done with and we discussed my obsession with fancy cases. Let’s get down to the real reason everyone is here. To find out if this game is worth the pretty pennies they are asking for. Assassin's Creed Origins is the Eighth main release in the...

Citadel: Forged With Fire Review – Old Man Mordaith

So gather ‘round y'all, and listen to the ol' fella for a moment. Once again we’re taking a look into the guts of an Early Access promise. Yeah, that’s right... A promise. Sure it is technically a game, but when a product’s in Early Access it may as well be strung together with hopes, dreams, and unicorn blood. That isn't to say they're necessarily bad products, but consumers need to take a good long think about what they’re getting into. There are great companies that have used Early Access to engage with their fan bases. We'd be remiss not to mention them, companies like InXile and Larian that have shown us gamers how positive an experience the Early Access path can be. But, we can't ignore the risk. For every InXile or Larian, we have half a dozen or so companies that produce unfinis...

Superhero Carnage in Agents of Mayhem

The latest Saints Row takes you through a futuristi...no wait, that can’t be right. Oh, of course, it’s an easy mistake to make. The latest release from Volition sees futuristic superhero title, Agents of Mayhem coming to PC and consoles with a very strong Saints Row feel. The following piece is from my time with the Xbox One version of the game. Agents of Mayhem is set in the city of Seoul, which is set within the same universe as Saints Row, and holds the signature purple hue style Volition are famous for. You take control of three MAYHEM agents, part of an organisation of superheroes with the task to complete linear missions to overthrow the super villain organisation known as LEGION who, rather unsurprisingly want to take over the world. The game takes place after the events of t...

Horizon Zero Dawn Review – Expand your Horizon

Sit back, unwind and let me take you to a vast world that's lush with rolling fields, mountains that lay in a noble line on the spine of the land as if long ago it was a great beast, only to lie down one day and never get up and sunsets that take your breath away. Feeling relaxed yet? Don't be! As right above you is a Stormbird with wings bigger than you've ever seen, ready to tear you apart with one swoop of its tremendous claws and then just in front of you, eyeing you from the grassy verge is a Thunderjaw, ready and waiting to crush you with one swift move from the tip of its armed scythe-like finned tail! Welcome to Horizon Zero Dawn, a PS4-exclusive action role playing game developed by Guerrilla Games, creators of the Killzone franchise and who until recently were pretty much ...
