Video by Matt S. I actually really enjoy niche sports games. Sure they can’t be produced to a standard like FIFA, but as someone who likes niche *sports*, just seeing the sports I love represented through video games is a good thing. But it raises the question: Should these sports…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Do you remember SEGA Soccer Slam from back in 2002? What a game that was. Taking the sport of football (or soccer, or whatever you call it in your part of the world), it was an all-arcade, no-rules, 3-on-3 sports game that was about the big…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I love pool. It’s a game of angles and mathematics, strategy and skill. I’m absolutely woeful at it in real life, but that’s mostly because I haven’t had the time, patience or money to invest in getting good at the physical elements of the game; being…

However, despite game itself being fantastic on the court, there…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Everybody’s Golf is a series that has quite honestly gone through just as many changes as the PlayStation itself has over the past twenty years. Much like the golfing games by Camelot (think the Mario Golf games and We Love Golf on the Wii), they have…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Another year, another Madden, another season where we as fans of arguably the most popular sport in North America hope that this year, our team will meet or exceed expectations and give us a sense of satisfaction in having backed them. Madden NFL 18 carries similar…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Sequels are always dicey propositions, because they often times carry heightened expectations from earlier games that did some things well, but had room for improvement. The Golf Club 2 is one of those examples of a follow-up title having been done right. There are still areas…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. In the endless drive to socialise every game, Sony has taken its Hot Shots Golf (Everybody’s Golf outside of America) franchise – a series that has been incredibly popular over the years – and spun it into Everybody’s Golf, the Open World Golfing Simulator(™).
