LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens review

The original LEGO Star Wars was the game that started off LEGO games as we know them, that is a licensed game closely following the plot of a movie, but with distinct self-parodying humour. Since then we’ve had LEGO versions of Batman, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Dimensions come onto our consoles, but now it’s back to where it all began with LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens, and this is definitely one of the best. What’s slightly odd is that the first level you actually play is actually the last scene from Return of the Jedi, still, it gets...

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens

LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens Release Date

Warner Bros, The Lego Group and Lucasfilm have just announced LEGO Star Wars: the Force Awakens. Yes it’s a bit of a mouthful but this new game in the massive LEGO franchise will let gamers play through key moments of the movie with the little plastic figures on a console instead of with the sort of stuff you’d but in a shop. Expect to control all the main characters from the game such as Rey, Chewie, Han Solo, Finn, Poe and BB8 and also don’t be surprised if you even get to fly the Millennium Falcon about as well! There...

Bayonetta 2

Bayonetta 2 review

Bayonettas back and this time, only on the Wii U which is why, as you can see here, she also comes with a number of outfits and accessories that come straight out of Nintendo’s weird and wonderful world. Once again Platinum Games have provided an experience that not only gives your fingers and thumbs a good pummelling as you attack both angels and demons that materialise to stop you but also seeks to entertain and titillate via the usual surreal Japanese mechanics of nudity and Sega’s arcade-style graphics and presentation. This time the action takes place around Christmas as Bayonetta...

Top Five Games of 2014

Top 5 Games of 2014

Once again another year has almost ended so here are my top 5 games of 2014. South Park: the Stick of Truth At 5 it’s South Park: The Stick of Truth. Finally a game has been released that’s worthy of this very long running cartoon comedy. Kind of like a light role-playing game and faithfully recreated in the 2d-style of the, you must journey round the town of South Park and regain power of the Stick of Truth in your very own role-playing game – within the game so to speak. With turn-based combat, exploration and a tonne of laughs,...

Mario Kart 8 review

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

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...
