FIFA 17 review

FIFA 17 is here and now that PES has got Barcelona in the game and on the cover, EA’s cover star is now Marco Reus. Well, at least they don’t have to cope with an ever-changing hair colour. This time the game isn’t just a slightly different game with a higher number – they’ve actually rebuilt the entire game using EA’s Frostbite engine which means better visuals. Of course, they’ve made a few tweaks to the main gameplay which I’ll come to soon, but the biggest thing is the new campaign mode called The Journey. Here, you get to play...

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...

Best Games of 2015

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and it’s also that time again when I run down my favourite games of 2015 so here goes: 5. Batman: Arkham Knight At number five it’s Batman: Arkham Knight. Although Batman does, frankly, look like a bit of a tool, Rocksteady Games do know how to make a great game and this one has notes of horror in there as well! Killing the Joker off in Arkham City was probably the best thing they did in the franchise and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, play it and you’ll see...

Rise of the Tomb Raider review

Rise of the Tomb Raider review

Rise of the Tomb Raider is the sequel to the reboot that came to Xbox 360, PC and PS3 a couple of years ago and was then re-released on Xbox One as a definitive edition. If you managed to nab that for free recently on Games with Gold you’ll know it was pretty good and you may be hankering to play with Lara now she’s toughened up a bit. This game sees Lara after a hidden source that grants eternal life before some other bad people get their hands on it. Okay the story isn’t exactly something we haven’t seen...

LEGO Dimensions

LEGO Dimensions review

LEGO Dimensions is the building block equivalent of very successful ventures already released in the form of Skylanders and Disney Infinity. The premise is simple but also fairly mental in this case – it’s a limitless game which sees all the characters from the LEGO universe come together in one game where Batman can end up in an adventure with Scooby Doo, Doctor Who and Doc from Back to the Future. Think of The LEGO Movie when they all come together from all the dimensions and you’ve got what this game is about. Sort of. Traveller’s Tales are well-known for...
