Before EA turned into franchising behemoths, they released a fondly remembered Megadrive game, Mutant League Football. Mutant Football League is a clear homage to that game from days of yore, updated this year with the Dynasty Edition suffix and is nothing to do with EA, we might add. At the outset, […]

I’ll be honest, I’ve not had a good time with Road Rash homages. Pixel Dash Studios and EQ Games’ Road Redemption is probably the one I’ve had the most exposure to but now I have a chance to play it. It’s been out on the PC since last year and […]

We’re big fans of D3’s epic alien ant murdering series, Earth Defense Force and how could we not be? Using overpowered weaponry to decimate giant insects and giant buildings alike is exactly the sort of thing we hoped gaming would allow us to do when we first picked up a […]

If you told me a year ago I’d be finally getting into fighting games, I would’ve probably laughed. As a kid, I woefully played Street Fighter on the Amstrad CPC and could not wrap my head around the genre. I’ve seen it more as a spectator sport but now I’ve […]

A new VR title has dropped on PSVR that isn’t a shooting gallery and it’s by From Software, most famous in recent times for the Souls series of games. Sounds pretty exciting right? Well, one word I’m not sure you could use for Déraciné is ‘exciting’. There is no action […]

It’s been a while since PSVR owners had a reason to get excited but Tetris Effect, the latest project from Rez and Lumines creator Tetsuya Mizuguchi, is creating quite a stir in the media and the recent demo of the game has got gamers falling over themselves to give it […]

theHunter: Call of the Wild – 2019 Edition is last year’s game with two DLC areas (Medved-Taiga National Park and Vurhonga Savannah Reserve) plus a couple of weapon packs. We didn’t review the original game so we’ve come into this cold. We expected a similar beast to the Gamerscore rinses […]

It’s one thing putting out a game at the same time that Red Dead Redemption 2 arrives sucking all of the air out of the industry for a few weeks but it’s especially bold to go up against Rockstar’s redneck ’em up with another game that features cowboys but that’s […]

I feel like I’ve heard about plenty of Rollcage successors but GRIP‘s certainly the first one to come to my attention. Having not played much of the inspiration (beyond a PC Zone demo disc), I don’t really come to GRIP with a significant point of reference. Despite this, the premise […]

Okay, you don’t tend to see many kart racers arrive to console, these days. When they do, they tend to be love letters to a brand or series. This is Nickelodeon’s fourth time to the track. Back in 2000, the characters of that game definitely sat well with the last […]
