Broken Sword 5 The Serpents Curse review

The Serpent’s Curse is the 5th game in the Broken Sword series designed and directed by Charles Cecil and made by Revolution Software. I originally tried playing this on the iPad last year but soon got stuck so I gave up. Luckily, here on the consoles it also comes with a handy hint system which gives you a nudge in the right direction and eventually tells you what to do if you push it hard enough. In a game like this it’s very welcome and can save tonnes of time where you’re not doing something that may be obvious but...

Trials Fusion: The Awesome Max Edition review

Cats and unicorns seem to be things that the internet were invented for and RedLynx know this which is why in their latest DLC they’ve decided to go completely mental and turn your motocross rider and bike into these two creatures. One rides atop the other brandishing a gun and it’s your job to run through the levels without toppling over as you inevitably crash a lot, instantly restart and eventually get to the end of the level not knowing quite what you just witnessed. Trials Fusion is already pretty mental but this takes it to a whole new level....

Spectra review

Spectra is one of those games that gets in your head. At first glance it looks simple, just race a spaceship along a sort of futuristic Rainbow Road whilst collecting little yellow cubes and avoiding the big purple ones that reduce your score, wreck your multiplier and can knock you off the edge into oblivion. Sounds, er, simple doesn’t it, but of course it isn’t and it’s even worse if you want to go for a high score! Make sure you boost over the chevrons and you’ll get a speed increase and increase your score for every dot you collect,...

FIFA 16 Cover Star result

EA SPORTS have revealed the result of their first ever FIFA 16 Cover Star vote. Thousands of UK and Ireland football fans voted for their favourite football star from a shortlist and the winner was the Liverpool midfielder and captain Jordan Henderson. He’ll be joining Lionel Messi on the cover of the brand new game released in September this year which includes female international football teams for the first time and a host of improvements to ball physics, player movement and controls. Of course, Henderson’s not my favourite football game voer. My favourite has to go, Red Card, where the...

Batman: Arkham Knight review

Batman Arkham Knight is the fourth game in the Arkham series but the third one developed by Rocksteady games and thus, is being treated like the third game in the series. The game starts with you incinerating the Joker because (spoiler alert), he died at the end of the last game, and then things all go a bit creepy as The Scarecrow has unleashed some Fear Gas into Gotham and everyone has begun to fight each other. Naturally, everyone evacuates the city which is a good excuse to make the streets sparse (such as being Christmas Eve in Arkham Origins),...
