There must be a difficult balance to strike when deciding to build gaming experiences out of real-life events. It can be considered a relatively common practise for the likes of war scenarios; however, the balance comes in when you must consider the amount of relevance and respect that needs to […]

Riot: Civil Unrest – PS4 Review

Ace Combat 7 is the latest title in Namco Bandai’s long running aerial combat series, one that debuted back in 1995 and, despite what your basic understanding of maths tells you, is the seventeenth title bearing the Ace (or Air) Combat name. The game takes place in a fictional, but […]

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown – PS4 Review

I’d class myself as quite a Resident Evil fan. I’ve played all the mainline entries and got the platinum on the majority that offer it as well. To this day I’d rank the 1998 release of Resident Evil 2 up there with the best of them. The setting, music, multiple […]

Resident Evil 2 – PS4 Review

Sticking to their usual modus operandi, Finnish publishers Ratalaika Games are back with another cross-buy, two-platinum trophy rinse with Heroes Trials, which is best described as an adventure game although it does dip its toe into RPG, arcade combat/shooter and exploration genres.

Genesis Alpha One – PS4 Review

There’s a lot you can infer from a title. At Sundown: Shots in the Dark is an apt descriptor of Mild Beast Games’ multiplayer arena shooter with a delightful gimmick. You see party games like this come and go but, with this one offering a level-based progression and plenty of […]

A Fisherman’s Tale from Innerspace VR has arrived on PSVR and is a story based puzzle game. You’re going to need two Move controllers for this one and a decent helping of spatial awareness. You play from the perspective of a puppet version of a lighthouse keeper. A brief tutorial […]

A Fisherman’s Tale – PSVR Review

From Solar Sail Games comes Smoke and Sacrifice to PS4. Classed as a survival RPG by the developer, what you’re actually getting is a game that revolves around crafting and where every item has a limited life span or durability. You play as Sachi, a mother whose first born has […]

Io Interactive’s been working on the Hitman series for 18 years now. With Hitman 2 hitting stores late last year, they’ve also used the uptake in interest to re-release two of the series’ older titles. The Hitman HD Enhanced Collection bundles together fan-favourite Hitman Blood Money with black sheep Hitman Absolution in […]

Hitman HD Enhanced Collection – PS4 Review

Smash Hit Plunder is the debut PS4 game from Cornish developers Triangular Pixels and is a VR-only title. It does require the use of at least one Move controller, but is better with both, and is out physically in North America and now on PSN in North America and Europe. […]
