Review by Matt S. You could call Rico a kind of reverse Payday; where Payday was a co-operative shooter that let you play as the robbers, Rico is a shooter that encourages co-op play and lets you play as the cops. It’s nowhere near as well made as Payday and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch is that so many games are released on it each week. A lot of it is really great stuff, too. Where the Wii U, and even the 3DS, were largely sustained by Nintendo and a select handful…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I like Left Alive. That’s quite possibly the most controversial thing that I’ve ever written, given the wave of blind hatred that the game has been attracting since it launched last week. But I genuinely like it. It’s often a mess to play, but, equally, it’s…

No one had the guts to go beyond the seven-hundredth metre to the north. Patrols had made it to the five-hundredth, and having illuminated the boundary…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I don’t play many Far Cry games. Or, perhaps it’s just as accurate to say that I play a lot of them. I’ve played all the Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs titles, and Far Cry is really the same thing, just presented from a first person…

Review by Matt S. Seed of the Dead was previously called “Rape of the Dead”. That should tell you all you need to know about the class of this game. Or, more specifically, its complete lack of class. It’s a game about a zombie plague and you, a dude, running…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. The PlayStation VR headset has been home to an amazing array of original experiences. Like most devices, it also has a bunch of stuff that has been ported over from elsewhere in order to make a bit more money for the developer and publisher. Some of…
