Been gaming casually since the SNES as a youngster but found my true passion for games on the Playstation 1 (the forbidden word ooo). My addiction grew to its pinnacle with the purchase of an Xbox 360 & Xbox Live Service. A recovering GS hunter that will still play literally any game.

Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue Review

Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue isn’t a bad game, it’s just that others of a similar ilk, like Danganronpa, do the social thriller visual novel concept much better.

Bakery Simulator Review

Bakery Simulator is the bread bun of the baking world - bland and uninteresting, but some people might still like it.

Bio Inc. Redemption Review

Bio Inc. Redemption actually allows you to experience both the preservation of life and the threat of death very well.

the World According to Girl Review

the World According to Girl has an interesting premise, but rather fittingly fails to execute the grand plan and falls short of being the great game it could be.

Looking back to 2015 and the promotional tie-in Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious

Ridiculously fast cars, massive explosions, and badass characters; these three things are synonymous with the Fast & Furious film franchise. Each and every instalment that releases tries to raise the bar from the previous offering, usually featuring even more insane stunts and blockbuster movie stars than before – adding the likes of The Rock, Charlize Theron, and Jason Statham. Taking into account how huge the franchise has become over the years, it’s no surprise that Microsoft Studios wanted a piece of the action. Thus, the standalone expansion Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious came to fruition in 2015.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 Review

The last venture in the gaming sector, My Hero One’s Justice, delivered a fast and exciting fighting experience that did remarkably well to capture the ‘quirky’ powers on display. There was room for improvement though and now Bandai Namco have returned with a sequel – My Hero One’s Justice 2. Will it build upon the previous offering to present us an almighty 3D arena fighting game full of smashing new features, or is it just more of the same?

FIFA 20 Ultimate Team – Team of the Week Moments #2 – 25th March 2020

Hidden Through Time Review

Hidden Through Time appears to be a modern spin on the antics of Britain’s greatest hide and seek champion. So, is Hidden Through Time a cheap, cheerful and chilled out hidden object experience that can fill that void during breaks from the big budget games, or is it a poor homage to a long-forgotten chap who had terrible fashion sense?

Go for a homer as R.B.I. Baseball 20 swings onto Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC

Baseball 20 is here on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC, ready to step up to the plate and bat away any potential criticism.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Review

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a 3D arena fighting game essentially, so one must ponder how it’s going to differ enough from similar Bandai Namco offerings such as Jump Force and Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2. What’s going to make us want to get to know this unprecedented hero a little better in his debut title? Or will we in fact be left wishing we’d never heard of Saitama and his extraordinary power?
