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,...

Forza Horizon 2

Forza Horizon 2 review

I’ve always been the kind of gamer who’s more Burnout than Gran Turismo, more Need for Speed than Forza. Call me old fashioned but if I want a more realistic racing experience I’ll get in a real car and drive down a real road. It’s a good thing then that Forza Horizon 2 sits somewhere in the middle of fantasy and reality as once again we’re plunged into a festival atmosphere and asked to get behind the wheel of some really cool cars and drive them round the stunning beauty of Southern Europe. Set in an open world with a...

Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor review

I thought we were all done with Lord of the Rings games and then up pops Shadow of Mordor which lets you fill the boots of a ranger named Talion and a spiritual Wraith that’s hitching a ride with him as he runs around Mordor killing Orcs and monsters. Let’s just get this out of the way now, Shadow of Mordor is a blatant rip-off of the Batman Arkham games and Assassin’s Creed but, as those are both two of my favourite games, I’m not complaining! You’re free to roam around Mordor as you please but as usual you’ve got...

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...

Grand Theft Auto V

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

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....
