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....

Splinter Cell Blacklist

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...

Rayman Legends

Rayman Legends review

Rayman’s enjoyed a bit of a hiatus over the last couple of years with previous Rayman games. The character never really shined in 3D and was in danger of being replaced by his spin-off Rabbids until Rayman Origins came along with great platforming action and even better art direction. Rayman Legends delivers more along the same theme with tonnes of new ideas which are definitely worth the price of admission. Once again, the story’s a bit weak but in essence you have to move through all the stages rescuing Teensies, collecting Lums and freeing some Viking sisters that are all...

Deadpool

Deadpool review

I wasn’t hearing great things about Deadpool but after trying it out at a recent launch event I thought I’d give the game a go and come to my own conclusion. And I’m glad I did because although the combat is a little rough around the edges, this game is actually one of the funniest and most entertaining games I’ve played in a long while. In this game the deranged, disfigured Wade Wilson in the ultimate onesie stars in his own video game thanks to High Moon Studios, Deadpool being a Marvel character who likes to break the fourth wall,...
