Old-school Inspired Racer Wheelspin Frenzy Blazes Off the Starting Line on Xbox One

If you are looking for an isometric arcade racer to fill the gap after last year’s Micro Machines: World Series, then Wheelspin Frenzy may be exactly what you need... and it is available to download right now.

Wheelspin Frenzy Review

One of the long-standing issues with local versus multiplayer gameplay is that invariably, the person that owns the game is more than likely to win overall. Any win that comes from another player is a turn up for the books, and greeted with shock at the occurrence. All this changes with Wheelspin Frenzy, a game that – either through meticulous gameplay tweaking or sheer dumb luck – levels out the playing field and offers an exciting racing game for up to four players. Judging from the menu design though, I am inclined to go down the sheer dumb luck option.

Sea of Thieves Issue #4 – Comic Review

The race between siblings DeMarco and Lesedi for their fathers’ treasure finally comes to a head in this, the final issue of Titan Comics’ Sea of Thieves tie-in comic series!

Now, in the final issue, can the crews put their differences aside to find the treasure they are both looking for? But even then, do they have the decency to share it equally amongst themselves?

Three Fields Entertainment make two massive new game announcements including Danger Zone 2

The team at Three Fields Entertainment have been going from strength to strength since Fiona Sperry and Alex Ward left Criterion, releasing Dangerous Golf in 2016 and Danger Zone a year later on Xbox One. But since the Xbox One X update for Danger Zone, things went quiet. Until recently that is, when Three Fields announced not one, but two games to make up for their radio silence.

SEGA Mega Drive Classics Review

Let’s just settle something right off the bat; I now own Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Mega Drive 2, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Android, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 (and backwards compatible on Xbox One already), the fridge, hoover, kettle, egg timer, bathroom scales and at this stage I’m pretty sure it comes pre-loaded on my rabbit’s microchip as well. And yet, when Sega announced another collection of classic Mega Drive games for the Xbox One, I still got excited. Why? Because this version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 comes with 52 other games thrown in with it.

Sea of Thieves Issue #3 – Comic Review

After a lull in Issue 2, things pick up again in the third issue of Titan Comics’ Sea of Thieves series as the rival pirates’ crew must deal with a small army of skeletons, and another crew of pirates doing what pirates do best. Stealing.

Trailblazers Review

Normally when a car or vehicle leaves a trail of something behind it, drivers would do well to stay as far away as possible. Whatever it is, it doesn’t look good. Trailblazers flips that idea on its head and says, “Driving through this slurry the car in front has just deposited actually speeds your car up!” It’s a great concept in theory, but sometimes I wish it was thick black smoke emanating from the engine, just so I could steer well clear... of both it and this game.
