Review: LEGO The Hobbit (Xbox One)

April 11, 2014

Action Adventure/Lego/LEGO The Hobbit/Microsoft/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/TT Games/XB1/Xbox 360/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. LEGO The Hobbit ticks all of the boxes I have come to expect from the LEGO titles by TT Games. There are recognisable places and faces from an existing property, lots of jumping and button mashing action, plenty of puzzles and a great deal of humour…

Magic 2015/Magic the Gathering/News

News by Matt S. We’re in the habit now of looking forward to a new Magic: Duels of the Planeswalkers game each year. These games are a reliably entertaining way of distilling down the Magic the Gathering formula into a fast paced and beautiful card game, liberating people of the…

Review by Jim S. Although I am not good at SHMUPs, I really enjoy playing them and RefleX is one of the finest I have played in a long while. Weirdly enough, RefleX is the second chapter of the Japanese game series The Tale of ALLTYNEX with the first and…

embargo/embargoes/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. One of the most interesting press releases I’ve ever seen has just landed in my inbox. The game it was trying to sell to me, a member of the press, looked decent enough, but that’s not why I found the release so interesting. Oh no. The…

Review by Matt S. You just knew that when Blizzard finally decided to step into free-to-play that it would do something that would be both spectacular and expensive. Hearthstone is that; both spectacular and expensive. I want to warn those with addictive personalities in advance; stay well away from this…

Preview by Matt S. I think I’m going to enjoy Murdered: Soul Suspect. Based on the first hour or so of gameplay that I got to have hands on time with, it seems to be something genuinely creative and different. The set-up from the start is classic supernatural noire. Players…

News/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/Sony/The Last Of Us

News by Matt S. That game that got way too many Game of the Year awards (even though, yes, it is a really good game), is coming to the PlayStation 4. I’m not surprised that Sony has decided to earn some extra money by selling the same game, slightly prettier, to…

News by Matt S. In August, The Evil Within launches. A project from Mr. Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, we’ve been promised from the outset that this would be a classic survival horror game, with emphasis on “survival” and “horror.” I’ve been a skeptic. Not because I don’t think Mikami is…
