F1 2020 Review – Pole Position

It’s that time of year again when Codemasters releases their annual foray into the motor racing league that is Formula 1. F1 2020 comes at you with an abundance of new elements and even a totally new game mode for you to get stuck into. This year, however, we have an interesting situation where the game is actually released close to the start of the season, albeit a delayed start to the season due to the current pandemic sweeping the globe. So how does F1 2020 compare to all the previous iterations, does it leave the others behind, or does it get a bit of a bogged down start? Let's read on and find out. Gameplay F1 2020 returns with a bit of a double-headed update this year. On one hand, we have a great new feel on track due to the updated cars and on the other a bit of a bitter taste...

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 Review – High Speed Fun

Racing returns to the Snaefell Mountain course in TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2. Published by Bigben Interactive and developed by Kylotonn Racing Games, we take back to the track and build on the previous title that we reviewed here. Gameplay Without delay, let's dive straight into the gameplay section, and in essence, the main mechanics are pretty similar to the previous iteration. TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge 2 is a street racing game, however, it has a big difference. The main game is centred about the looooong track on the Isle of Man. For those of you that have watched this on TV then you will know that the speeds these riders get up to is astounding. The game is no different, the sense of speed as you are bouncing off the limiter is super impressive. So what else can...

Rugby 20 Review – A good Try?

Just in time for the 2020 Six Nations comes Rugby 20 from Developers Eko Software and publishers BigBen Interactive. Rugby has been poorly served by the video game industry over the years although to be fair it is not the easiest game to convert to the pixel format. However, given that both American Football and Baseball have seen successful sims in recent years it shouldn't too hard to cater to those ardent egg chasers out there should it? Rugby 20 is the latest edition to a franchise which appears to be operating on a biannual basis. Rugby 18 was not particularly well received by critics and players so can Rugby 20 finally be the game to break the mould. Read on and find out. Gameplay One of the biggest issues I have with Rugby 20 is the lack of depth in the game modes. There is y...

Overpass Review – Mud, Glorious Mspoud!

Every time I hear the word off-road I immediately think of the Off-Roaders from the Fast Show (showing my age again) and mud. Lots of mud. This winter has provided lots of the latter and the prospect of reviewing an Off Road game sounded a bit like my daily drive to work at the moment. Overpass has been billed by Swedish developers Zordix AB and publishers BigBen Interactive as unique in its genre offering a realistic take on off-road driving with over 20 officially licensed quads and buggies to be driven over technical obstacles along wilderness tracks. So does Overpass deliver on the dev's promise? Well, as they said in the Fast Show "Lets off-road"! Gameplay The opening menu offers four basic game modes - Quick race, Career, Custom challenge and Multiplayer. Quick race i...

Super Tennis Review – Ace or Fault?

Back in the halcyon days of the early nineties, half of the games that came out on the SNES were prefixed with the word 'Super'. Super Star Wars, Super Bomberman, Super Soaker, Super Souper (a fascinating game regarding the Irish Famine, look it up). The list was endless. It was a simple time for simple people and I should know. In fact, I'm old enough to remember that Super Tennis was one such game. It was glorious and I so wish that I could play it again- what's that you say? Super Tennis is available on the Switch and it needs to be reviewed?! Aw hell yeah! ... It was only after signing the review contract that I discovered that this was NOT the same Super Tennis. You cannot be serious! Oh well, tennis games have come on a lot since those days. I'm sure it'll be just fine...right? Ga...

Monster Energy Supercross 3 Review- All Revved Up

Developer’s Milestone brings us Monster Energy Supercross 3, the third instalment of the series. The latest title promises new gameplay. How will it fair up against previous games in the series? We have seen a lot of negativity about this port but is it really that bad? Monster Energy Supercross 3 will hit the shelves on February 4th 2020 across multiple platforms. Gameplay I think I should start by saying I am not going to be comparing each and every aspect of Monster Energy Supercross 3 to the PC/Console versions. We all know the other versions will be better graphically. Let’s put that aside and celebrate what the title brings to the Nintendo Switch. Before playing any mode, you start by creating your own character. There isn’t as much as a selection in terms of customisations;...
