Mario Kart 8 review

The latest Mario Kart game gives me another reason to dust off my Nintendo Wii U and get back in the bucket seat for some silly action in one of my favourite racers. To be honest, this game feels far overdue but I’m glad it’s eventually here and just as accessible as ever. You must have played the game on one of Nintendo’s consoles or handhelds before, and this one takes ideas from a number of previous titles and lets you race over new and remixed tracks of old favourites in full HD for the first time. There are eight...

FIFA 14 for iOS review

An integral aspect of re-training for the annual FIFA release is adapting to the various changes to core gameplay mechanics. For FIFA 14 on consoles, alterations to ball physics and player momentum have been so dramatic that hard-core followers of the series have had to perform a complete system reset to adjust. Changes to a formula that is a proven success always require time and dedication to perfect, so it is quite endearing to see that EA have not shirked their responsibilities to the ever-increasing fan base they have for the IOS version of FIFA 14. Football games on the...

FIFA 14 review

Every year the guys over at EAC deliver us another FIFA game and once again FIFA 14 changes things for the better. Not only have the guys managed to give us a load of new game modes, skill games and a revamped FIFA Ultimate Team, they’ve even changed what happens on the pitch for the better too. If you’re used to FIFA 13, you’re actually going to have a bit of a hard time playing this at first. LT is no longer used for skill moves and is now used to protect the ball, which means that you now have...

Grand Theft Auto V review

What do you get when you cross a bank robber, a repo man and a drug dealer? Well, the answer is GTA V and Rockstar are back with their biggest, most ambitious game yet that fuses the ideas from GTA IV and its DLC stories with a sprinkling of Red Dead Redemption game mechanics to make a very big game that’s full of stuff to do! I’m not going to go into the story too much but you can hot swap between the characters of Michael, Franklin and Trevor at any time to take control of them and complete their...

Farming Simulator 2013 review

There has always been that part of me that has dreamt of life in a peaceful country town away from bustle of the big city and the over-abundant decadence that comes with it. In a land of rolling green hills, surrounded by the tranquil call of nature in which I can perform depressingly dull tasks with only livestock and the hum of the tractor for companionship. Well, maybe not that last part but that seems to be the compromise required if my simulated experience of Farming Simulator 2013 is anything to go by. Being a simulation, gameplay is pretty self-explanatory....

Splinter Cell Blacklist review

I’ve been playing the Splinter Cell games since they first appeared on the PC and I found the last title subtitled Splinter Cell Conviction to be a little bit of a let-down. It seems that in order to please the mainstream ,the game had lost most of its stealth elements and had become a run-of-the-mill third person shooter. Blacklist sees a kind of reboot for the franchise with a brand new voice actor to replace Michael Ironside, a slightly younger looking Fisher and a return to all the gadgets and gizmos that made the game such a hit in my...
