CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling Review – WrestleFest

Introduction I have been a fan of wrestling since my Nan introduced me to the World of Sport on ITV in the late '80s and even more when Hulkamania ruled the world in the early '90s. Those wrestling games that I had on the old Commodore 64 were classic but for me, the best wrestling game I have ever played was WWF Raw is War. It had all the wrestling elements with an arcade attitude which was perfect as that's how you imagine how you would fight. These days it seems to be on rails and heavily following storylines whereas, I wanted to make my world and make a fantasy booking of my own. In Steps CHIKARA: Action Arcade Wrestling. Developed by VICO Game Studio and published by Reverb Triple XP it brings back that fast-paced arcade-style of wrestling along with the classic 90's wrestli...

What the Golf Review – Non stop Golf Fun

What the Golf is a silly physics-based golf parody game developed & published by Triband and was released on PC via the Epic store on October the 1st, and stated as coming out soon on the Nintendo Switch. The developers declare that the game is made by people who know nothing about Golf and that it will not make you a better golfer, hence the catchline - “The golf game for people who hate golf”. So let's pick up our “tees” & “drive” on into this Epic exclusive & find out what it's like. Gameplay As I mentioned above, What the Golf is a parody game about golf, where each course you play golf on let's say, is a surprisingly different type of golf to how you would normally play. It starts off just like any type of golf game, the controls are simple, pull back, aim and rel...

Pool Nation PS4 Review – No Drinks On The Table Please

Pool Nation by Manchester-based devs Cherry Pop Games and published by Wired Productions is a photo-realistic billiards simulator where you have the chance to start a single-player career, beat your friends in a one on one while sitting on the couch as well as play against online buddies around the world. In what is, in essence, an overhauled version of the PS3 classic from years gone by with added features, will Pool Nation have you reaching for the chalk or leaving the pub early? Gameplay Pool Nation brings to the table a vast variety of game modes to test your cue wielding ways.

Wel...

NBA 2K19 Review – Still going strong 20 years on?

In the year 1999 EA Sports was hit with a new competitor in the video game basketball genre. Developer Visual Concepts launched the NBA 2K series which has gone from strength to strength since that first outing. The series was originally published by SEGA but now by 2K Sports. Whilst EA has (eventually) pulled ahead in the football stakes with FIFA and stands unchallenged with Madden it has consistently been beaten into a poor second by the NBA 2K series. NBA 2K19 marks the 20th in the series and after a slight wobble with 2K18 is NBA 2K19 the G.O.A.T or just a bench warmer until the inevitable 2K20 next year? Gameplay If it ain't broke don't fix it is very much the mantra here. Saying that the devs have made the usual yearly tweaks seemingly taking on-board the criticisms made of la...

Burnout Paradise Remastered Review – Nostalgia Overload!

As with the majority of people, I loved Burnout Paradise and played it religiously throughout my PS3 times. Then when it was announced that Burnout Paradise was getting a remaster, I literally lost my mind. Fortunately I found it again and I'm able to put together these words to give you a low down on whether the remaster is worth buying. Gameplay So if you have never played Burnout Paradise before then you are in for a treat. Essentially you are driving around at break neck speeds, trying not to crash, whilst carrying out a number of different race types. So starting up the game, you are introduced to Guns N Roses, and the amazing tune of Paradise City, and your narrator that you will hear throughout your game time. Once you have gone through a brief tutorial of the game and are rele...
