Evolve review

Surely you’ve all heard of Left 4 Dead. Well, Evolve is the latest game developed by Turtle Rock Studios and it’s pretty much the evolution of the multiplayer zombie survival game, although this time in a much tighter jungle arena setting with 4 co-op players versus one all-powerful monster. You can play the game in solo mode to up your XP and get to grips with the game but the action really is all about multiplayer here. In fact, playing with bots, for me at least, was very run-of-the-mill and wouldn’t hold my interest for very long. Jump into multiplayer...

Call of Duty 5

Call of Duty 2015 release date

We may not know what the subtitle of the next Call of Duty game will be but we do know there will of course be another edition of the blockbuster series and it will, as always, probably be released in November. For years Infinity Ward and Treyarch shared the development duties meaning they have only had a two year development cycle each to make the game, but Advanced Warfare being made by Sledgehammer Games means that for the first time Treyarch gets a full three years to develop a game, having previously made Black Ops, Black Ops 2 and World...

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D review

The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask 3D review

Majora’s mask passed me by the first time when it came out on the N64. I remember getting the game and playing it at my girlfriend’s house in Norwich when I wasn’t really paying attention to it. Subsequently I never even managed to find the Ocarina of Time before the 3rd day was up and the scary moon starting down at Termina crashed into the world and killed everybody. Needless to say I couldn’t be bothered to try again and gave up, bewildered by the whole idea of a game that ends so suddenly. So, when I heard the game...

Resident Evil HD Remaster

Resident Evil HD Remaster review

“Resident Evil” the hammy voice says when you push A to begin. It’s been a staple of the series since the game first came out on the PS One and then PC and it’s back again in yet another remake of Resident Evil in HD. This version is actually a remake of the 2002 GameCube remake and as such, provided a fresh twist on the original game with new puzzles, running Crimson Head zombies and items in different places. Of course the first thing you’ll notice is the visual improvement. The character models of Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are...

Nintendo 3DS XL

Nintendo 3DS XL review

The other day I was lucky enough to get a nice offer from Nintendo PR. They said that after the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS, I could swap my XL for the new version so I could enjoy its shiny newness, tweaked design and extra features. Of course I accepted and I must say, this is quite the improvement! Of course, this isn’t a brand new handheld, just a remodel of the current system. The New Nintendo 3DS XL comes in at the same size as the old XL, but, like its smaller cousin, has a brand new button...

Saints Row Gat out of Hell

Saints Row Gat out of Hell review

Saints Row is mental – and that’s why I like it. What once started out as a bit of a GTA spoof has now become a brand in its own right with each game getting progressively outlandish. So where could the game go after the planet was destroyed and everyone was living inside a computer simulation akin to The Matrix? Well, the answer is hell. In this stand-alone addition to Saints Row 4, the game picks up where the previous game left off with your team and the alien Zinyak having some fun at a birthday party with a Ouija...
