Tyler: Model 005 Review

Tyler: Model 005 is a platforming adventure game where you play as a little robot called Tyler who must navigate through a house to uncover a mystery. That mystery being just what exactly has happened to Tyler’s creator and home in the 12 years that Tyler has been lying dormant. This isn’t well explained in the game though. In fact, nothing really is.

Coffee Crisis Review

There have been plenty of times where my eyes couldn’t keep up with the action on screen, and the modifiers I had turned on were making no sense; were they helping or hindering? When I was mobbed at one of the many choke points the game includes, I could rarely see my character, and those health pickups I had been tactically leaving on the ground until they were needed seemed to disappear far too quickly. Still, this was a game that combined coffee, heavy metal and invading aliens – two of these are essential components in my life – so this lack of not really knowing what was going on didn’t really matter, I was still having fun, at least in small espresso sized doses. By the way, it’s the invading aliens I can do without, the other two are necessities.

Looking back at 5 years of… Grand Theft Auto V

There is no denying that Grand Theft Auto V is an absolute juggernaut. It’s numbers speak for itself: Currently the 3rd best-selling video game of all time and one of the highest grossing entertainment products ever, it is essentially printing its own money, and I don’t expect it to stop any time soon.

Classic Final Fantasy Titles coming to Xbox One in The Legacy of Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy; it’s a pretty big deal almost everywhere outside of Xbox. Yes. We’ve had the XIII trilogy and XV also, but Xbox owners have largely missed out of the franchise’s glory days. Today’s announcement is about to change all that.

Shenmue I & II Review

I have always put Shenmue on my list of shame, simply because it sounded like the type of game I would revel in; story-driven, open-world exploration, masses of minigames and things to do. But for whatever reason - mainly not knowing anyone when I was younger who owned a Dreamcast – I never had the opportunity to. So, when Shenmue I & II got announced for Xbox One, PS4 and Steam, I knew this would be my chance. And with the team at d3t keeping most of the game the same as it was on Dreamcast, for better or worse it would be largely the same experience. That experience is certainly an excellent one, but some of the features seem very dated in the 20 years since the original release.

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD now available on Xbox One and PS4

TETRA’s Escape Review

TETRA’s Escape does involve the manipulation and movement of blocks, and the title of the game isn't a million miles from 'Tetris', but the similarities end there.
