I’ve never played a Fat Princess game before. Mostly because I’ve never been a fan of the kind of exclusively combative multiplayer experience that it offered – it’s one thing when the game is effectively free (I play the odd game of League of Legends here or there), but it’s…
Read MoreThe Earth Defense Force games have been running for a couple of generations now, but rather than being a truly new game, Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair is more akin to a HD remake of the older Earth Defense Force 2025 that released several years ago.…
Read MoreGame of Thrones: Episode Six – The Ice Dragon is an exciting, action-packed finish for a series of episodes that had its ups and downs through the first five instalments. As is often the case, the final chapter proves to be the best for a Telltale Games title, but it…
Read MoreSword Art Online: Last Song hits a lot of really comfortable notes along the way, making some improvements to gameplay over the original game that should make it more accessible to most players.

There is a distinct quality about…
Read MoreWWE 2K16 rights many of the mistakes that showed up in last year’s game. The end result is an entertaining title that still has some room for improvement, but by and large offers redemption for a series that was in need of strong release this year. It is always a…
Read MoreI still haven’t finished The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I’ve spent hours upon hours adventuring across the beautiful landscape of Novigrad or sailing the seas surrounding Skelliege, but I still haven’t quite seen it all. And now I’ve got even more to work though, in the well worn boots of…
Read MoreAnd just like that it’s over. Dontnod’s narrative masterpiece, Life is Strange, has drawn to an end, with the final chapter (a solid couple more hours play) released and now available on our consoles and PCs. I’m not going to review it, because I won’t be able to delve in…
