Accessory Reviews

Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot Controller Review 

Get the Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot on your consideration list. It’s full of gimmicks, some which you’ll be drawn to, others which you won’t. Yet there’s no denying the quality of this pad. And it’s that which is the biggest appeal. 

GameSir Cyclone 2 Controller Review 

As a Game Pass, PC, mobile or Switch focused controller, this is about as good as you are going to get and it's now our Game Pass controller of choice.

Thrustmaster HEART Controller Review

Reviews

The Stone of Madness Review

Well designed, beautifully drawn and with a real challenge, if you have an interest in this genre, then The Stone of Madness will be right up your alley.

O.W.L Projekt 2 Review

O.W.L Projekt 2 very much feels like an expansion of the original game, never attempting anything different from before.

Alter Age Review

Alter Age is a standard KEMCO JRPG with a couple of new features.

Legends Aligned Review

Legends Aligned ultimately comes up short, never changing from the tried and tested method it initially delivers.

Caligo Review

Caligo does a good job at taking you on a journey, but the lack of any other gameplay choices could be a bit off-putting.

Atomfall Review

Atomfall is perfect Xbox Game Pass material, likely one you will have wrapped up in a week or two, before moving onto something bigger and better.

The First Berserker: Khazan Review

The First Berserker: Khazan is a stupendous game.

Popotinho’s Adventures Review 

Popotinho’s Adventures is a distinctly average platformer which pulls on a meagre amount of tired and tested ideas from the genre.

Runny Bunny Review

Runny Bunny may not surprise or even impress you, but the combination of puzzle elements and the fact it’s a little demanding at times makes this a couple of hours of solid fun. Definitely more carrot than stick.

Cyber Mission Review

The best I can say about Cyber Mission is that it runs okay, and that the two player side of things is better than the solo play. Other than that, it’s one to avoid.

Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot Controller Review 

Get the Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot on your consideration list. It’s full of gimmicks, some which you’ll be drawn to, others which you won’t. Yet there’s no denying the quality of this pad. And it’s that which is the biggest appeal. 

Turok Review

Turok can be a great experience and I thoroughly recommend it for anyone who hasn’t played this insane game yet.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Review

If you’re a fan of Assassin's Creed, hooked from the very first game, you’ll find a lot of love for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Rabbit Raid Review

Rabbit Raid is a forgettable experience that only really has one gimmick.

Blow it up Review

Come to Blow it up knowing that it's a quick game, with no hidden depths, and you should walk away happy.

WWE 2K25 Review

WWE 2K25 is impressive all-round with its exciting and enthralling gameplay that’s enhanced by a great selection of game modes.

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo Review

Ghost Teen Escape from Limbo is yet another by the numbers platformer.
