Review: Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Nintendo Wii U)

November 4, 2014

Nintendo Wii U/platformer/Reviews/Stealth/Stealth Inc/Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones/Wii U Review

Review by Sam M. It has been far too long since we have been accompanied on a puzzle adventure by a harrowing, sometimes crazy, omniscient narrator. Stealth Inc 2 is brought to us by Curve Digital, and is exclusive to the Wii U. There is a simple premise behind the…

Gadget Review: Hauppauge! mySelfie Camera Remote Control

November 3, 2014

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Hauppauge/mySelfie Camera Remote Control

Review by Rob P. I’m not much good at selfies. There’s the unappealing subject matter, for a start. Then there are the technical problems. Snap a shot with your phone’s front camera, and you inevitably get an off-centre view of a bit of your face and a lot of your…

Review: Just Dance 2015 (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 3, 2014

dancing/fitness/Just Dance/Just Dance 2015/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/Ubisoft/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Some games look to hook you with a deep storyline. Others try to rely on polished or innovative mechanics. Others, like sports titles, are yearly releases that have some small updates and try to build on progress made from one year prior. Just Dance 2015 is…

Review: Lords of the Fallen (Microsoft Xbox One)

November 3, 2014

CI Games/Dark Souls/Deck 13/Demon's Souls/Lords of the Fallen/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/XB1/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. It takes very little time to figure out what inspired Lords of the Fallen (it’s Dark Souls). However, there is a fine line between imitation being a form of flattery or simply aping another game’s successful design without understanding really what made the original such a…

Review: Legend of Grimrock 2 (PC)

November 3, 2014

Almost Human Games/dungeon crawl/Legend of Grimrock/Legend of Grimrock 2/PC/PC Review/Reviews

Review by Nick H. There is so very much to love about Legend of Grimrock 2, for it is dungeon crawling at its best on the PC. It mixes plenty of old school mechanics with a modernised interface to create a game that recalls what made me fall in love…

Review: Battle Islands (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 2, 2014

Battle Islands/Free-to-play/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S. Battle Islands is the kind of game that it would have been nice to have never seen on the PlayStation 4. Doing almost nothing different to the likes of Clash of Clans, the game’s all about waiting, waiting, and then spending money so you don’t need…

The games of November: To the backlog pile with you!

List by Jim S. November is traditionally the time where the biggest games of the year are released, so that they can capitalise on the all-important Christmas sales period. This year is no different. There are so many big games being released in November that there is no possible way…

Review: Shadow Warrior (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 31, 2014

Arcade/Devolver Digital/FPS/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/Shadow Warrior/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Matt S. Whoever was involved in the visual direction of Shadow Warrior deserves a massive raise. There is no game that is more fundamentally beautiful on the PlayStation 4 than Shadow Warrior’s remake. I found myself spamming the “share” button on the PlayStation 4 controller with every new…

Review: Skylanders Trap Team (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 31, 2014

action game/Activision/children's game/Miniatures/platformer/Reviews/Skylanders/Skylanders Trap Team/Toys for Bob

Review by Matt S. I feel a little sorry for Toys for Bob, the developers of the Skylanders franchise. After coming up with what was nothing short of a brilliant commercial idea (a game that relies on collectible miniatures!) Skylanders proved itself to be too popular. Now Skylanders needs to…

Review: Jet Car Stunts (Sony PlayStation Vita)

October 30, 2014

Grip Games/Jet Car Stunts/Racing Game/Reviews/Sony PlayStation Vita/Vita Review

Review by Brad L. When I was a young lad, I had a Commodore 64. On that Commodore 64 I had about 300 games that my mum and dad had a family friend get (totally legally) for me to play. Of these 300 odd games, I believe I managed to…
