Players can put themselves into the shoes of Toto Wolff or Guenther Steiner and battle their way to the top of the championship. F1 Manager 2023 is available to buy now on PC, PlayStation and Xbox for between £45 - 55 dependent on the system. Is F1 Manager 2023 in pole position for the best simulation sport game? I've only been an F1 fan for the past 3 years, so I am yet to experience the highs and lows that many of you have experienced. However, when I heard that F1 Manager was getting a new instalment this year, I was eager to get stuck in. Let me know in the comments if you are enjoying this year's instalment of F1 Manager and if it is an upgrade on the p...

F1 23 – PS5 Review

Hit your Breaking Point Played here on PS5 the game is also available on PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Steam and Epic Games. Gameplay Precision Drive Technology delivers greater control for players using a controller to play. It gives a feel to the driving that has never been present in any F1 game I have ever played in the past. Start to lose the back end of your hybrid beast from getting a bit trigger happy with the accelerator and you can now correct the slide with confidence. This allows you to push the limits knowing that you are one with the car rather than a passenger who is along for the ride. The game is broken down into 3 main sec...

MotoGP 23 – PC Preview

We got an opportunity to give MotoGP 23 a go way before its release and needless to say we jumped at the opportunity. See an excerpt from the press release below detailing a brief introduction to the MotoGP 23 Preview. Among the most important novelties of MotoGP™23 is the design of the career mode, conceived to give players the freedom to build their own journey to becoming a two-wheel legend.

EA Sports PGA Tour – PC Review

EA Sports have returned! Well they haven't really returned, but they have removed Rory and left behind Tiger. It's now the age of EA Sports PGA Tour. Yes it's a mouthful, but it works. Recently released, we managed to take to the course and on the first tee. EA Sports PGA Tour, Fore the Golfers! How are you finding EA Sports PGA Tour? Do you have a favourite course, and why is it Augusta? Let us know in the comments. Gameplay As with any golf game, the main focus for me is how the game feels to play. Golf as a game is all about the connection from backswing through the transition to downswing. So how does EA Sports PGA Tour handle that feeling? Actually really well. With EA's new Purestrike system, it brings a more fluid system to your golf swing. Incorporating 20 shot types with fluid...

WWE 2K23: Deluxe Edition – PS5 Review

WWE 2K23 is the latest instalment in the WWE wrestling game franchise from Developers Visual Concepts and Published by 2K Games & 2K Sports. It has been another year and another WWE game has been released, but how does this one fare against the previous titles that left a somewhat bland taste for new and old wrestling game fans?

This review is our experience with this new contribution to the wrestling game category, and we will answer the question: does it redeem the franchise? WWE 2K23: Deluxe Edition, Then, Now, Forever, Together. Have you been a long-time WWE 2K fan? Did you play the original titles on old-g...

Golazo! 2 – PC Review

Golazo! 2 is an arcade football game by Argentinian indie developers and publishers Purple Tree. It is a follow-up to the well-received 2020 Golazo! Soccer League. Back to the 90's Football Era! While there are many football games on the market, Golazo! 2 is an anything-goes version of the beautiful game where fouls and offsides do not exist. Created in Unity and available at around £11 on Steam, how would this indie title fair? Gameplay Right from the (kick) off, there is something very arcade-like with Golazo! 2. Remember the good old days when you were ordering some takeout, and while you were waiting for your order to be ready there would be some form of coin-op arcade machine in the corner? Well, Golazo! 2 would fit right in there. Instantly transported back to the mid-90s,...

Sport & Fun: Swimming – Switch Review

Published by Red Deer Games Sport & Fun: Swimming is one of the latest family fun fitness titles to hit the Nintendo Switch eShop. Released on the 3rd of February and is currently on sale at a massive 90% at the time of writing this article. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! So join me as I jump into the swim lanes to see if Sport & Fun: Swimming sinks or swims. Let's hope it is the latter. Gameplay I honestly had no idea what to expect when it came to Sport & Fun: Swimming. It was safe to say I was going in blind. I had not seen anything surrounding this title, whether that be via email campaigns or by the press sites. I have no idea if this is because I didn't go looking for it, or because it just hasn't been talked about. Sport & Fun: Swimming is an easy...
