Tennis World Tour 2 – Grand Slam Or Double Fault?

Tennis and video games haven't had the greatest relationship over the years.  In fact, the only good ones seem to have 'Mario' or 'Virtua' in the title.  The last tennis game I played was Virtual Open Tennis 24 years ago on the Sega Saturn.  It wasn't great.  Tennis World Tour 2 is the follow-up to the tragic Tennis World Tour released in 2018.  Tennis World Tour 2 will release on PC, PS4, Xbox One on 24th September, and on Switch at a later date.  Developed by Big Ant Studios who bring experience to the court having worked on the AO Tennis series.  Once again, published by Nacon, will they serve up an ace or will it be a double fault? Gameplay With a new developer at the helm, this brings a new game engine as well.  This means improved animations, more of them and an overall better ...

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update – And Breathe

Welcome to another football game from Konami, right off the bat we know that this version of PES is purely an update from the 2020 version of the game, just with updated player data and player rosters. Now while people will be screaming saying that it's just an update of the previous years game blah blah blah. Isn't that what people have been asking for though? Rather than a full-price new game each year, give us an update to the previous year and roll on a 2 yearly cycle for new games. Konami has done just that, granted the next generation of consoles and PC hardware being released may have made them make this decision and concentrate on dropping the mother of all football game in 2021 on the new systems, only time will tell I guess. For now, let's concentrate on what you can expect when ...

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 – Grind Straight Into The Action In This Thrilling Remaster!

Before Activision had Call of Duty as their yearly release, Tony Hawk Pro Skater was their pride & joy. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the latest remaster on the market, Activision & Vicarious Visions have come together to produce this masterpiece. These games were originally released in 1999 & 2000, the series has gone on from there though with many more games added to their list. The latest Tony Hawk game before this was a disaster so much improvement was needed. The game is available now on PC, PlayStation & Xbox. Gameplay If any of you ever played the originals of these games you know it was a time sinker. Whether it be grinding all the levels or creating your own park. The gameplay is a serious improvement on the last Tony Hawk Pro Skater, with the game...

Gameplay Ride 4 sees you select from any one of 30 tracks and roads as well as pick out your insanely engineered choice of over 175 licensed two-wheeled rockets to ride on.  For a series that has been going since 2015, there is clearly enough of a fan base to keep on evolving the game, attracting loyal fans and newcomers alike. Ride 4 features a whole host of game modes to keep you entertained, from career, race, time attack and endurance to online multiplayer.  The menu is easy to navigate and you can get racing in no time. The career mode promises an exciting adventure whereby yo...

Hotshot Racing – Drifting All The Way To The Podium!

Somebody hit the turbo button on the indie scene a few years ago now and kicked it into high gear.  It has flourished wheel to wheel along with retro gaming, so naturally, new retro-inspired games are a big thing.  Hotshot Racing is a nostalgic love letter to the 90s arcade racing games.  Developed by Lucky Mountain Games and Sumo Digital, who have a fine racing pedigree including Outrun 2, TOCA 3, DiRT 2, F1 2011, and Forza Horizon 2 to name a few.  Published by Curve Digital who specialise in indie games, Hotshot Racing is a very British affair and will be power sliding onto consoles and PC on September 10th.  Now its time to reminisce about skipping school to go to the arcade and pumping 50p coins into Daytona USA. Disclaimer: Thumb Culture does not in any way condone skipping school...

Project Cars 3 – Not So SIMple

Project Cars, a name synonymous with simulation racers in the past. However, times are a-changing and with Project Cars 3 we have a bit of a SHIFT in the focus that Slightly Mad Studios brought to the track. This is now, in my opinion, a tremendous arcade-style racing game. Read on to find out more! Gameplay So you picked up Project Cars 3 expecting it to be a pure simulation racer, expecting it to be suited to your steering wheel, expecting a lot! Now I can imagine that you might be disappointed as it is neither a sim racer anymore, nor is it suited to be used on your steering wheel. In my opinion that isn't a bad thing in the slightest, and let me tell you why. Project Cars 3, might be the most fun I have had racing around a track in a long time. There I said it! Whilst most ...
