Fallout 4

Fallout 4 review

So it’s finally here, after years of speculation and finally being announced earlier in the year, Fallout 4 brings as back to the wasteland following a nuclear war with a brand new storyline, location and tonnes of things to do in a very familiar setting. This time the action begins in your family home before the bombs drop and you’re soon shuttled into a Vault for your own protection but as we know, these vaults aren’t what they seem. Safe to say you emerge about 200 years later to find something you’ve lost and get embroiled in all kinds of...

Assassins Creed Syndicate

Assassins Creed Syndicate review

I’ve been looking forward to Assassins Creed Syndicate because not only is it set in my home town, it’s sure to be less boring than the last game. This one tells the story of Assassin twins Jacob and Evie Frye from the London borough of Crawley. After an opening mission where they search for a Piece of Eden on the outskirts of the city, they then make their way into the heart of the city of London to put pay to the Templars and take back the city from a gang dressed in red called the Blighters. If you’ve played a...

The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone Expansion

The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone Expansion review

I’ve sort of finished The Witcher 3. By that I mean I’ve done the entire story, ridden around looking for extra things to do and have a couple of broken quests I can’t actually finish that I’ve had to just give up on. Hearts of Stone gives me more things to do in Geralt’s playground and this one revolves around visiting a manor full of supernatural people who, to begin with, want help with killing a massive toad-type thing. I don’t want to give away any spoilers but once you defeat it, you’ll fall further into the rabbit hole alongside...

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...

Metal Gear Solid V

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain review

Metal Gear Solid V isn’t actually the 5th game in the Metal Gear series thanks to games such as Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes, however it is the latest in the franchise starring Big Boss, or Punished “Venom” Snake as he’s known here. After Solid, Liquid and Naked etc it’s really hard not to smirk and think that Hideo Kojima really does like jokes about one’s manhood. Anyway, set 9 years after the events in Ground Zeroes, you awaken from a coma and head into Afghanistan and Africa to start a new private military company and raise your own army...
