Unplugged Review

Developed by Anotherway and published by Vertigo Games (known for Arizona Sunshine and After The Fall) Unplugged is a game that brings out your inner Wyld Stallyn. Death to all BUTT metal! I am not going to lie, when I found out about this title I was blown away with excitement. Guitar hero was one of my favourite music sim titles, and I love beat saber. Unplugged VR combines the two and I am hoping it brings its AAA game! Gameplay Unplugged is a VR title that brings you a guitar experience like no other. Obviously, there are other games that are similar, but the mechanics of Unplugged put this in a league of its own. To start off with it uses hand tracking, so there is no controller! Which on hearing about I was unnerved. However, I have to say works really well. I found it hard to ge...

Battlefield 2042 Review

Well, it's finally here. The latest instalment of the Battlefield series has come to life with Battlefield 2042. Despite the new venue for vehicular and infantry combat, the Battlefield games are known for, it has been met with some harsh criticism from long-time fans of the series. Some feel that DICE has made poor development decisions with some of its changes to the game. Others believe that DICE took Battlefield 2042 out of the oven too soon due to deadlines set by publisher Electronic Arts. Regardless, Battlefield 2042 is currently available for purchase on PC via Steam, Origin, and Epic as well as Xbox Series X/S/One and PlayStation 5/4. Much like my bullets, Battlefield 2042 misses the mark I have been a fan of the Battlefield series since I built my first PC in college and picked...

Beyond Blue Review

Beyond Blue by developers E-Line Media allows you to explore the oceans through the eyes of your playable character Mirai. Set in the near future with some interesting tech toys to play with, this is certainly a game with a big message behind it.

Train Simulator 2022 Review

Train Simulator 2022 from Dovetail Games is the latest release of a series that can trace its roots back to 2009. I'm a newcomer to the train simulator genre, and my rail experiences have been limited to early morning, crowded standing room only journeys into work. I've been looking forward to reviewing this game to experience the ins and outs of train driving. So, take the only guaranteed seat on the train and enjoy my Train Simulator 2022 review. Train Simulator 2022 - I Think I Can, I Think I Can Now, first things first. Train Simulator 2022 isn't a game. It's a detailed train driving simulation and a hobby that, if it grabs you, could keep you entertained for years. Imagine a world-spanning virtual train set. But like that train set you found underneath the tree all those Christmases...
