Titanfall 2 review

The original Titanfall blew me away when it was premiered at the Xbox showcase at E3 a couple of years ago. I’d never seen a game play so smooth and have so much variety and action. Calling Titans down from the sky was pretty impressive and it never got old when playing the game at home online. However, there wasn’t actually that much to it and my friends quickly moved onto other games, as did I. This time around Titanfall 2 expands on the original game with loads more ideas for multiplayer and a single player campaign which gamers were...

Battlefield 1 review

Battlefield 1 goes right back to its roots this time with a setting in World War 1. That’s right, there are no jet packs, wall jumps or guided missiles here. This one dials things right back to the days when your reload took ages, you had to rely on your aim, and sometimes you’d even take advantage of a four-legged friend to get from A to B and chop your foes down from above. While Battlefield Hardline actually gave us quite a good story-based campaign, Battlefield 1 takes a different approach with War Stories that tell very personal tales from...

Dues Ex Mankind Divided

Deus Ex Mankind Divided review

Deus Ex Mankind Divided is the latest game in the Deus Ex franchise, a game series that nobody manages to pronounce properly. Anyway, I can so let’s move on with the review. Once again you step into the shoes of Adam Jensen, an augmented fella who, not by his own choice, ended up full of tech that makes him uber powerful in order to save his life after he was caught in an incident a few years ago. Set in a future where now natural people and augmented people have been segregated, the often convoluted plot sees you siding with...

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...

Resident Evil 5 HD

Resident Evil 5 HD review

Man, have there been a lot of Resident Evil remasters kicking about lately. This time it’s the turn of Resident Evil 5 to come back to life on Xbox One and PS4 with a 1080p up-scale and the add-ons included, all for £16. Just a quick recap on the story, Chris Redfield and local agent Sheva have been assigned to a township in Africa to find a guy called Irving and investigate some naughty goings-on and they soon realise that the people in the town aren’t quite what they seem to be. In fact, they all seem to be rather...
