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.
After seeing Call of Duty reinvigorate the once overdone WWII era with the shining story of Call of Duty: WWII, it wasn’t surprising to see EA’s DICE studio announce that the next Battlefield title would be taking a stab at replicating that same war and era. After all, with Battlefield 1 providing a rather believable take on WWI, WWII was a natural step, and whilst the person in charge of naming the title was clearly having a bad day with Battlefield 1, Battlefield V - V for Victory - was something I was extremely excited for.
If you’re a fan of the classic, retro-infused vertically scrolling shoot 'em up, then recent years have been kind to you, but does Aces of the Luftwaffe – Squadron have what it takes to keep up with the other brilliant titles available? I suited, booted and took to the skies to find out.
2018 has been an exciting year for Milestone with their hard work and dedication already bringing us the likes of Gravel, Monster Energy Supercross, MotoGP 18 and MXGP Pro this year alone, but if you thought they were done then you’ll need to think again as the Forza of the bike racing world has returned once more and RIDE 3 has arrived at the starting line.
Instead of a new Sniper Elite title, we were treated to the rather delightful Strange Brigade, and after a decent showing in the first part of the three-part mini-campaign, it’s time to take a look at the second chapter of The Thrice Damned – The Sunken Kingdom, if only to see if the same level of quality has been maintained once more.
Splash Blast Panic has recently arrived on Xbox One to breathe new life into the party game genre once more, but does it have what it takes to bring us a reminder of what made that local multiplayer of the '90s so enjoyable?
If you’re a fan of shooters, explosions and all things spectacular, then chances are you’re pretty excited about this year’s daddy of them all, Battlefield V. And it's here right now!
If you’ve not yet heard of Socketeer, you’re not the alone. I hadn’t heard of it either. But is it a game that’s come out of nowhere to shock you with it’s amazing gameplay and intricate design?
Side-scrolling experiences represent a huge part of gaming history and throughout the years we’ve seen some classic titles come out of the genre. But in recent console generations it’s certainly become much more of a forgotten thing amongst developers, with the number of decent scrollers dwindling. Until now that is. See, now we have seen Ninjin: Clash of Carrots arrive on Xbox One, to deliver a quirky title; one that has an even quirkier nature and plenty of fast-paced scrolling action for fans to jump into.
2018 has already been a huge year for Xbox One, one that’s provided plenty for gamers to look forward to in the coming months, and a ton of quality content to get lost in right now. But that doesn’t mean Phil Spencer and the rest of team at Xbox are finished yet, and with X018 promising major new announcements, we tuned in for the two-hour event to hear what they had to say. What were the most exciting announcements made? In no particular order here are 6 of the best from X018.
There aren’t many game series’ that can keep up with Mega Man and his 30-year legacy.
Having sold millions of copies, spanning countless spinoff titles and numerous main series entries, it’s fair to say there aren’t many gamers who wouldn’t have heard of the blue suited hero by now. But with so many titles, so many years of quality and so much to live up to, can his latest adventure live up to the high standards of the predecessors? I jumped in to Mega Man 11 to find out.
I’ve been a gamer for a long time and over the years have seen many games come and many games go, with many great ones often taking with them a classic experience that’s never seen again, leaving developers to change their approach and try to keep up with shifting trends. One such game that many will remember as an iconic experience was Rollcage; a racer that allowed its players to utilise the walls and ceilings within each track as they fought for a place on the podium. Since that point however, few games have returned to the popular idea, until now. Thanks to the developers behind the latest racer, GRIP: Combat Racing, it seems a spiritual successor to Rollcage is back in fashion.
Whether you’re a fan of the hunting scene or not, one thing is for sure, to be a true great, you need to have a firm knowledge of just what it is you're hunting down and the environment for which it resides in. 2017’s theHunter: Call of the Wild was a game that truly showcased just how much skill and knowledge was required when hunting down animals, but now that very experience returns, in an expanded fashion with theHunter: Call of the Wild 2019 Edition.
Spintires is back with an all new expansion, Spintires: MudRunner – American Wilds, but has the magic been retained after a year away? I jumped back in to see if this trip to the West could bring more of that fine quality enjoyed so much a year ago.
PC players have long enjoyed the delights of free-to-play titles, but it’s only been in recent years that the F2P market has truly expanded onto the console scene. With titles such as Neverwinter, Fallout Shelter, Fortnite and Warframe all bringing in huge crowds on Xbox One, it’s hard to argue that there isn’t a huge interest in the free-to-play scene. That said though, the latest F2P to arrive isn’t an entirely new game to Xbox players, and after being discontinued just 10 months after it first arrived back in 2014 on Xbox 360, is a launch on Xbox One going to be the revival this FPS adventure needs?
If you're a Jurassic World Evolution 2 player then you will already have been treated to a host of exciting DLC packs. We're not sure many will appeal just as much as that included in the Jurassic World Evolution 2: Park Manager’s Collection Pack though.Â
As I've played almost every fishing experience that you can find on the big black box, I thought I'd attempt to rank them, nailing a list consisting of 5 of the best fishing games on Xbox One, if you will.
