Grand Theft Auto V/GTA/GTA V/open world game/PC Review/Reviews/Rockstar

I was driving around aimlessly in a stolen black Vapid Bullet, when I collided against a white Benefactor Panto (which had appeared out of nowhere). My car hit a pole and stalled. When I stepped out of my vehicle to inspect the damage, I found out to my horror that…

HB Studios/Maximum Games/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/sports game/The Golf Club Collector's Edition/XB1/Xbox One review

Last year The Golf Club launched on a handful of platforms with some pretty ambitious goals that were mostly met. however, even as I played the game then, I felt like there was room for more; it needed more options, more themes and more performance optimisation. Now, about a year…

Assassin's Creed Chronicles Trilogy/Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China/Climax Studios/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Stealth/Ubisoft

Assassin’s Creed is at its best when Ubisoft is willing to experiment with it. When developer teams are unburdened from the AAA-budgets, and left free to experiment with narrative and form, we invariably see the potential of this series hit its peak; we see games that make interesting use of…

Convoy/Indie/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Roguelike/Strategy

Convoy is one of those games that’s not entirely unique – it’s been defined as a mix between Mad Max and FTL: Faster Than Light since its Kickstarter inception – and on the surface level it could easily be passed off as another ‘clone’; yet, in doing so, you would…

3DS Review/A-Train 3D: City Simulator/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/simulation

It’ll take you a full weekend to play through the three tutorials in A-Train 3D. In that time you’ll be bombarded with text as the game slowly – but comprehensively – walks you through its myriad of systems. You’ll generally quite overwhelmed with its complexity. But by the end of…

In a day and age when it feels like many hardware makers are churning out version after iterated version of their gear so quickly that yesterday’s peripheral feels outdated half a day later, it is nice to see a company like Mionix taking its time and crafting a smaller number…

Word Search by POWGI is exactly what you’d expect. It’s offers your classic back-of-the-newspaper word search. Now don’t get me wrong. I love a good word search as much as anyone else. It’s relaxing in short amounts, and is fun to complete if you have a few spare minutes to…
