As online games with survival mechanics go, very few licenses can apply themselves better than the world of Fallout. The gaunt, state-sized wastelands devastated by decades of post nuclear decay make an excellent staging point for this kind of title. Especially when considering that Fallout is a franchise that covets […]

Fallout 76 – PS4 Review

I often wonder why mobile ports attract the wrath they do. Having covered a few, there always seems to be some substance to them, whilst simplified in controls and a little lacking in presentation. I’ve rarely seen it feel so wrong to hold it against a product. Timber Tennis Versus, […]

Three years ago, on this very website, I reviewed a game called Bombing Busters. This was a game that wore its heart on its sleeve and was almost identical in premise to its inspiration in Bomberman. The key factor at the time however, that despite the many flaws that Bombing […]

It’s difficult to tell how a team-based car combat will turn out. Onrush comes from the ashes of Evolution Studios who were once at the helm of the Motorstorm franchise. Some members of staff joined Codemasters who themselves have some pedigree with racing games. It seems like a good recipe […]

Racing games have been a dime a dozen for years and it must be hard for smaller efforts to stand out. We’ve seen indie efforts in the recent past go for something a little more leftfield and now Supergonk have taken to the tarmac with a fantastical racer with a […]

At some point, we all played dodgeball in school. We all remember how it feels to be pegged square between the eyes and would prefer only our ego was bruised. Thankfully, plenty of games have taken the idea of such competition to heart and the latest to hop across is […]

There’s something oddly appropriate about reviewing this around Armistice weekend. Call of Duty: WWII has decided to revisit its roots with a historical setting. Activision and Sledgehammer are hoping the nostalgia can tempt lapsed fans back to the ailing franchise. As one of those myself, I approached this with caution. […]

Speedrunners is a new release on PS4 from DoubleDutch Games and allows you to put your platforming skills to the test against other players. If you’ve enjoyed Super Meat Boy or N+ at any point then you’ll feel right at home here. This is strictly a competitive game. You do […]

Motor Strike: Immortal Legends isn’t your standard racing game, in fact there is an argument to be made that this isn’t even a racing game. The game markets itself as an action racer and the emphasis is firmly on the action part of things. Things look nice enough with a […]

What do you mean you’ve never heard of the Lastman comics? The cult French comic which throws together boxers, gangsters, drugs and the supernatural. LASTFIGHT is a 3D brawler based on this licence with a strong callback to Powerstone this is a four player affair with bags of cartoon character. LASTFIGHT has a couple […]

Chambara by Team OK (they write it as team ok but that’s simply unacceptable around these parts) is a few things. Firstly, it’s a first-person slash ’em up where you, and some couch-based chums, play as a fat samurai pigeon. Secondly, it’s fundamentally pretty good. Thirdly, it’s a missed opportunity. […]

“Arcade style gameplay” used to be one of those buzz terms that made people buy games. Back in the 80’s and 90’s it was one of the most important bulletpoints on a box. Over the years since, arcades lost a lot of luster due to being pushed on the way […]
