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...

Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame Review

Monster Energy Supercross is the latest official release from Milestone in Partnership with Feld Entertainment Inc. Their aim is to allow gamers to experience what is considered by many to be the most competitive and highest profile off-road motorcycle racing championship in the world.

Monster Energy Supercross is available on all major gaming platforms (PS4, XBox One, Switch & PC). This review however is being done based on the PS4 release. So as someone who wasn’t a fan before playing the game, the question is did I...

UFC 3 Review – Bloody Bloody Bloody
