Resident Evil Revelations 2 Episode 1 review

Resident Evil has always been hit and miss. Recently I enjoyed the HD remake of the original Resident Evil and I really, really liked Revelations on the Nintendo 3DS. In my opinion 6 was dreadful though and Revelations 2 which is upon us now is episodic, meaning I can only tell you about the first chapter of the game which sees Claire Redfield and Moira Burton trying to escape from a prison island and Barry Burton making a return as he leads a creepy little girl in a nightie he finds on the island in pursuit of his daughter and...

Pneuma Breath of Life review

Pneuma Breath of Life is a puzzle game that reminds me of a cross between the PC puzzler Myst and Portal in that through a first person point of view, you must make your way through the beautiful landscapes by solving puzzles to open doors and move platforms. You don’t have a name, you don’t even know quite why you are making this journey and that’s also part of the intrigue – if it wasn’t for one of the most annoying piece of voice acting I’ve ever encountered in a game. As you make your way throughout the levels you...

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...

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 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 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...
