Review by Nick H. Bleak. This is the primary adjective that comes to mind while I was playing Tom Clancy’s The Division. Not in a bad way, because the game is absolutely worth experiencing, but it is not ‘fun’ the way a lot of people define the term. It is…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Okay, so one of the coolest features in Far Cry Primal was easily the fact that Ubisoft commissioned an entire language for it to tell its story through. Now, creating a language is not a simple matter of taking existing words and coming up with some nonsense…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. There’s something very primitive about Far Cry Primal. Everything has been stripped back, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The air is clean, the water is clear, global warming – or its new moniker “climate change” – has been stemmed off with initiatives to keep the arctic cold through advances in technology and careful regulation. Life is great! So get comfortable because…
Read MoreThere is nothing wrong with Just Dance 2016. By now the series is well-established, and people know what they are more or less getting out of it each year. Fans of the series will no doubt feel right at home with the music and modes, though an argument could be…
