Big Ant Studios are slowly making a name for themselves with their sports titles. Branching out from cricket, they found themselves giving tennis a crack with AO Tennis. After numerous updates, that clumsy first attempt was starting to resemble something more palatable. Now they’ve opted to give a sequel a […]

Codemasters are back at it again with another racing title. This time, they’ve delved into their recent past and decided to give GRID something of a reboot. More philosophically arcade, can this jack of all trades become a master? GRID‘s career mode offers the main course with dozens of events […]

Pro Evolution Soccer was beginning to lose its charm with me. Last season, the game provided a challenge beyond my reach whilst there wasn’t much new to shout about. With a new name and touting an improved Master League, eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 is looking to jump start some […]

Despite being a sport in decline, the NASCAR Heat series appears to be picking up pace as a competent simulation series dedicated to America’s favourite oval racing championship. Building on last year’s effort, Monster Games are hoping NASCAR Heat 4 can keep the momentum going. NASCAR Heat 4‘s handling doesn’t […]

Since handing over the reins to Kylotonn, the WRC series has been on something of an upward trend. The sport’s been well-handled without necessarily stepping into something truly spectacular. WRC 8 hopes to change all that with some new features, smart decisions and more reasons to race from point to […]

There’s a wonderful sense of timing with Big Ant Studios’ latest cricket release. Cricket 19 arrives whilst the Cricket World Cup is well underway and ahead of this summer’s Ashes series. With potentially more eyes on the sport, this cricket sim might find more favour amongst fair-weather and die hard […]

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 […]

I can’t imagine HB Studios expected to becoming the leading developers of golf sims but, with EA very much out of the picture, they’ve found themselves grabbing some PGA licensing. With that, a touch of legitimacy arrives to a still very independent project. What the license does give you is […]

It seems like Codemasters have timed it well to release F1 2018 in the middle of the sport’s summer break. Liberty Media might be new to running the sport but the geniuses at play have had the license now for almost a decade. In that time, we’ve seen some great […]

The original Disco Dodgeball found some success as an enticing party game that lacked longevity. 82 Apps have returned with a rejigged version with some new features. Can the new coat of paint reinvigorate a title that ran out of steam? Disco Dodgeball Remix’s gameplay remains unchanged from the original. […]

Codemasters upcoming arcade, team-based racer has had an open beta this weekend. I took the opportunity to check out what gets Onrush‘s motor running. Two modes were on offer for the Beta period. Overdrive acts like the main course with teams focusing on destruction to gather points. First to 10,000 […]
