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 […]

ONRUSH- PS4 Review

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 […]

Here’s a blast from the past. With Nordic’s slow acquisition of the THQ branding and properties, they’re looking to gain some hearts and minds. Revisiting dormant series’ can be daunting and they’re some cautious steps taken with the release of MX vs ATV All Out. Rainbow have been recalled to […]

The majority of Milestone’s output tends to be restrained by official licenses so I’m always interested in when they decide to venture into original territory. It’s not exactly new for them as they have previously dabbled with the Ride series but, whilst that may appear a little sterile, GRAVEL appears […]

GRAVEL – PS4 Review

Schacht is a third-person time-trial platformer that comes to us by way of German developers GuriGroup and for an indie effort it’s unusually slick, especially given that this was essentially a student project and comes from a small team. There’s no plot to speak of and the title doesn’t hint […]

Milestone return with yet another officially licensed motorcycle game. This time, it’s the turn of arena-based Supercross with Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame. Taking what they’ve learned with the MXGP license, they’re hoping to do the same for the twisty, louder discipline. As with most sports games, you’re […]

Road Rage is, like the name suggests, attempting to recapture the magic of Road Rash. There’s been a couple of efforts to recreate it but they haven’t quite succeeded. Dutch indie outfit Team 6 are the latest to try their hand at revitalising a classic formula. Can this really be […]

While EA have most of their eggs in the FIFA and Star Wars baskets, their Need for Speed series has always been a consistently popular title for them and so with roughly one game per year bearing the title, it was no surprise to see the series return again this […]

Rallying might be the most intense test of any driver outside of Le Mans and, with Kylotonn continuing to bring the World Rally Championship to our consoles, we can experience a small piece of that life from the comfort of our living room. Is the long-running series starting to show […]

With its tagline of “Race Faster Than Ever”, 34BigThings’ Redout promises some super-speedy racing action for those players who have exhausted Wipeout Omega Collection, a game that is clearly an inspiration for this futuristic racer. As with the Wipeout titles, this game involves anti-gravity ships racing along weaving, looping tracks […]

Redout – PS4 Review

Formula 1 might not be holding my interest like it once did but Codemasters’ treatment of the sport retains a level of curiosity. With some strong visuals and a handling package behind it, can this year’s game surpass last season’s revered effort? Visually, this doesn’t differ much from last season’s […]

When it comes to top-down racing games, the original Micro Machines was, for the longest time, the standard to beat. It took the slightly awkward format we knew from the likes of Super Sprint but made it special thanks to its clever track designs and brilliant multiplayer mode. It still […]
