Obsessive gamer since I first played Ladybug on my brother's ZX Spectrum. I've been mad for Xbox consoles ever since I bought the original colossus to play Half Life 2 and went on to discover Morrowind, Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. Gamertag: Dee Dee Diamond, feel free to add me!

Tropico 6 – Next Gen Edition Review

For the most part Tropico 6 - Next Gen Edition is worth it if you’ve enjoyed any of the previous Tropico games and would like to try the new one for the first time, or if you just couldn’t quite fit enough golden statues of yourself on your island without causing the game to lag.

MotoGP 22 Review

MotoGP 22 is a brilliant entry in the series that does everything you would expect it to and a bit more.

Real Heroes: Firefighter HD Review

Real Heroes: Firefighter HD will not appeal to everyone, but it’s unique and actually quite bold in its vision, managing to make a highly engaging and enjoyable game out of a concept that could have been a complete dud. 

Tainted Grail: Conquest Review

If you are a fan of roguelites, deck builders, Arthurian mythology or just love the kind of games and films that leave you feeling a little bit soiled when you’re done, you could do far worse than checking Tainted Grail: Conquest out.

Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame 5 Review

If you were born to lead at breakneck speed, you should give Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 5 a try.

Carnage in Space: Ignition Review

Crank the difficulty up, try to get invested in the story, be aware that the game is very short, and you will probably have a good time; just don’t go in expecting Carnage in Space: Ignition to rival a game five times its price.

If you can’t get enough of retro throwback platformers, love violent dark fantasy, or think that Holy Diver had the coolest album cover ever (you’re right) you owe it to yourself to buy a copy of Infernax. 

MXGP 2021 Review

If you know nothing about Motocross but would like to start getting into the sport, this might be the perfect time to give MXGP 2021 a go. If you’re a grizzled veteran, go crack open a can of Boomer Juice, whack on some Powerman 5000 and rev that engine!

Looking Back at the first Xbox exclusive JRPG – Enchanted Arms

If you can overlook its flaws, Enchanted Arms has a lot to offer; a light-hearted adventure caper with a fun battle system, some real challenge and depth, plenty of laughs and that comfy, JRPG atmosphere that felt like it went missing for quite some time during the Xbox 360 generation.

Why the Xbox family needs to adopt Sega

It might still concern some people to see Microsoft influencing the industry so freely just by opening its wallet, but I think it would be a tragedy for a company with a history like Sega to not have the resources to utilise their legacy to the fullest. Besides, hedgehogs are nearly extinct and we should all be playing our part to prevent that.

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 Review

Gear.Club Unlimited 3 has the foundations of a decent racer, but it needs more wax and polish before it can become a game, and series, that many will want to get behind the wheel of.

Bluey’s Happy Snaps Review

While Bluey’s Happy Snaps has sharp edges in its bugs and usability, enough to get the odd papercut on the Polaroids, it’s still a cartoon sandbox that your children will love.

Lawn Mowing Simulator 2 Review

There is a good game in Lawn Mowing Simulator 2. As it currently stands though, it is hidden underneath a bit too much undergrowth, and needs someone to come at it with strimmers, blowers and mowers to cut through the rough.

Hidden Dogs Review

Hidden cat games have a tendency to release new iterations every couple of months, and if Hidden Dogs followed that pattern then I would be first in line.
