The Assassin’s Creed Chronicles trilogy is a group of games that are okay, but really fail to deliver much more. Each game shares similarities with the others. They all offer a relatively bland story and deliver it in a lacklustre fashion, failing to draw you in, or allowing you to develop a connection or attachment to the plot or the characters. As a result, I feel the protagonists are quite unmemorable. For side-scrolling fans, the gameplay is pretty good and compliments the excellent level design very well, with an interesting array of new weapons to take advantage of. However, the key stealth mechanics do not feel as satisfying as they have in the previous big budgeted AC games.

Dad Beat Dads is an indie, couch multiplayer brawler in which you play as various dads doing what dads do best… like beating each other up, throwing diaper bricks and climbing the corporate ladder. The usual stuff then!

Despite the wars between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One continuing over issues of graphics and gaming exclusives, Microsoft seems to have been making some recent efforts to provide a more user-friendly gaming experience.

Over the decades, video game heroes have come and gone. The debate over who is your favourite hero of all time could quite easily run and run so instead of looking at the very best heroes, checking out some of the most memorable ones from recent times is quite possibly the way forward. So I did. Here are 5 of my most memorable video game heroes!

If I asked you to name the top five best villains in video game history, it would really be a gargantuan task since there has been so many! With that in mind, instead of trying to establish the five best, I am instead going to pick out five particularly memorable villains from games that I have played.

The game is certainly not bad and took me on a nostalgia fueled ride back to when I first played it about 10 years ago as an 11 year old kid. The remastered graphics look great and I thoroughly enjoyed the story, far more than I enjoyed the actual gameplay.

Hyperdrive Massacre is exactly what it says on the tin; a super fast game that gives the player the ability to continually destroy their friends in a variety of game modes over and over again. Its simple controls coupled with its fast paced action creates an experience that can be enjoyed by you and up to three other friends. Although it isn't without its faults, Hyperdrive managed to keep me, and a number of my friends, coming back to test out each others massacring ability time and time again.

Xbox games are leading the way when it comes to the quality of game play and graphics but which titles out there are the ones that possess the best graphics? Here is our list of top 5 Xbox games that offer the greatest graphics.

If Dark Souls was a two dimensional, action-RPG platformer then Unepic would certainly be it.

With Christmas and the New Year out of the way I’m sure there are plenty of new Xbox One owners who are wondering just what they are going to spend their money on this year. That means it’s time for a run-down of the top 10 most anticipated games of 2016.

In my last post I gave my opinion on the easiest game completions of 2015 and now it’s time to go to the other end of the spectrum by taking a look at the top 5 most difficult and/or longest game completions from this year. Seriously, these games have some extremely annoying and tricky achievements so you’ll need to be prepared for a massive grind to 100% them.

With 2015 over and with many games released during the year, I felt as though I would provide a quick top five list of easy game completions on the Xbox One. Bear in mind I have also based this on how enjoyable these are to play, so even if you are not an achievement hunter, these are actually very fun games and will take you no more than a few of hours to complete each. Also please bear in mind that the days of bashing the A button for a few seconds in order to unlock 1000G are long gone!

Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is an interesting slant on online multiplayer. It utilises its medieval setting to create a unique experience that is thoroughly enjoyable. From its deep combat system; to the Plethora of maps and game modes, Chivarly doesn’t fail to deliver on its promise to take combat from the 21st century and plunge it back into the medieval era. The game manages to deliver all this in a delightfully gory way, however it does have a few major pitfalls which kept its sword wielding combat from being the homage to such films as Gladiator I hoped it would be.

In March of 2016, IO-Interactive and Squre Enix will release the latest game in the HITMAN series, and the first for consoles since 2012's HITMAN: ABSOLUTION. At this stage, with roughly three months to go until the release, we don't yet know that much about what will differentiate this from other HITMAN games. However, here's a little bit about what we do know.

Fallout 4 was one of the most anticipated releases of this generation. Ever since its surprise reveal by Bethesda at E3, fans and newcomers to the series have been eager to see how Bethesda would be able to redefine the open world genre as games, like its predecessor Fallout 3, and the likes of Oblivion and Skyrim had done in the past. But is it all that?
