After 20 years of playing every game I can get my hands on, I can now be found selling my soul for anything Resident Evil, Gears of War, or Gamerscore related... all of which will be mastered after a good cuppa!
Should you be after a game that can provide hours of fun or even some engaging experiences with friends, then Tetsumo Party isn’t likely to be your go-to game. It has a nice idea and if done better - dare I say maybe even with Kinect from back in the day - we could have been looking at a very interesting game. Sadly, that’s not the case
For a yearly release based on one of the biggest racing franchises, NASCAR Heat 4 doesn’t quite do it justice and even though those wanting a functional racer will find enough to be going on with, there aren't many reasons to pick this over any other racer on the market.
When it comes to survival horror, the first thing that many will want to talk about are the classic titles that kicked it all off; the Resident Evil’s and the Silent Hill’s of this world. Of course, since that point, survival horror has come a long way, evolving a lot, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t people out there who appreciate the roots of where it all began. With DAYMARE: 1998, that’s what the focus is centred around.
Duuh Duuh da da da Duuh Duuh da da da Duuh Duuh dun-dun-dun-duuuuh!
That’s right guys, it’s almost here, it’s almost time to jump back into the beloved Star Wars universe once more and join the battle in Star Wars Battlefront 2. That is unless you’re an EA Access subscriber of course, as the Play First trial has already given us the reigns to run free in interstellar battle for ten whole hours over the past few days. As one of those subscribers there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to jump into one of the years most anticipated shooters. So, after ten hours of combat in a galaxy far far away, here are my early thoughts on Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Try before you buy has been a marketing scheme that has worked wonders for consumers over the years. In gaming however, and in the UK particularly, our local Blockbuster and Choices stores that allowed game renting are no longer a reality and the closest we get to try before you buy is the EA Access App that’s available to Xbox One players. Downloading the trials of upcoming games not only gives us the opportunity to play the finished product several days before release, but also allows us to get a general feel for everything we can expect when the game finally arrives. The Sims 4 is the latest game to take advantage of the EA Access Play First trial, so after years of waiting for the life management sequel, how does the game shape up on Xbox One.
Back in 2016, Bethesda’s E3 conference was one that had been long building excitement amongst gamers. Not only was it just the second ever E3 that saw Bethesda hold their own conference, but after some huge announcements just a year earlier, many were hoping to see something equally as big this time around. It’s fair to say that they pretty much delivered with the announcement of DOOM. Those with a keen eye though would have spotted something special on the pre-briefing DOS prompt that appeared on screen for a few moments - New_Colossus.
Now though things are very different than just simple cryptic messages, and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is here to continue the fight against the Nazi’s. Does it continue with the same high standards set by its predecessor? I jumped into the shoes of the returning B.J. Blazkowicz to find out.
We’ve all been there haven’t we? Browsing our favourite digital store whilst on the hunt for our next gaming adventure, before spotting that Deluxe Edition, Complete Edition or even the typical Season Pass that we just can’t say no to - only to find several weeks or months later that there’s some new DLC on the horizon that simply isn’t included in our supposed ‘complete version’, and that we’ll need to stump up further cash if we wish to get in on the true complete experience.
If you’re a fan of the recent reboot that was 2015’s Need for Speed, then you’ve probably had your attentions focused on the open-world sequel, Need for Speed Payback. Now the time is finally here to jump in - at least if you fancy getting involved in the Deluxe Edition.
That’s right, the release of The Sims 4 on Xbox One is almost upon us and as is the norm for many of EA’s flagship titles, it’s the latest game to see an Early Access 10-hour trial arrive for subscribed members of EA Access.
There may be over a week to go until Star Wars Battlefront II gets its full release, but if you’re an EA Access subscriber on Xbox One, then you can jump into the game right now with the 10-hour early access trial from the EA Access App.
Whilst it may not be the most content filled adventure on Xbox One, there’s no denying Dead by Daylight is classic thrill ride. Since it launched, new killers have been slowly arriving, bringing us some classic killers in the form of Michael Myers from Halloween and even Leatherface. Today however, we have another new addition and this is possibly the most frightening yet.
If you have recently taken part in the free Prologue for Raiders of the Broken Planet that’s available on the Microsoft Store, you may have noticed something rather different about the whole experience. If not then you may want to take a look as what was once known as the Free Prologue has now become the Raiders of the Broken Planet Eternal Soldier Campaign.
If you’re one of the many who have jumped into the new Xbox One X experience today, then you’ll be well aware of the new visual opportunities that Microsoft’s newest console brings to the table. And Rise of the Tomb Raider will be no different.Â
Whilst we may be unsure on the future of the popular Hitman series, one thing we know for sure is that the episodic venture was darn brilliant. If you’re one of those who bought into The Complete First Season for the full experience however, then listen up, as your experience isn’t quite as complete as you may expect.
It’s fair to say that last week’s deals weren’t all that spectacular when compared to recent weeks. Sure, we’ve had some of the year’s biggest titles arriving to fill the gap and keep the Microsoft Store looking as inviting as ever, but what we all really want is a cracking deal. With Xbox One X appearing, and the chance for a whole new set of gamers to get in on the action, what does this week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale - the one for 7th-13th November 2017 - have to offer?
Here are our pick of the deals you should be watching out for this week.
By this point, it’s fair to say that anyone who’s been keeping up with the Rainbow Six Siege outfits that continue to arrive in swift fashion is probably looking at a wardrobe of options similar to that of the Kardashians. Nevertheless, the guys at Ubisoft Montreal aren’t slowing down yet, and today sees the latest outfit arrive for Rainbow Six Siege players on Xbox One.
Forget the blood, fire and destruction of recent releases, as you won’t find that here. Instead you can jump in to the delightful, playground platformer best known as Super Lucky’s Tale.Â
The final week of the Horizon Race Off dawns in Forza Horizon 5, yet as we prepare to bid farewell, there is a last hoorah in the shape of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32 Spring.
For those of you who have been living under a rock or deep in the jungle for the last ten years, the Devil May Cry games feature a protagonist called Dante. And this is Dante when he was just effortlessly cool...
