Video games

Rage 2 should be brilliant!  It’s made by Avalanche Studios who developed the excellent Mad Max.  It’s co-developed by id Software who were responsible for the fantastic reboot of Doom.  It’s also published by Bethesda who have pedigree, releasing the superb Wolfenstein games. It has brash colourful graphics, an open world to explore, car combat, […]

Rude Racers is a combat racing game which proudly wears its love of Road Rash vividly on its pixelated sleeve. Released into Early Access on Steam (for the bargain price of £1.69 here in the UK) the developers Famous Dogg Studios are already proactive in supporting the game and tweaking it based on player feedback. […]

After many years on the PC, Bus Simulator finally adds its routes onto the Xbox One and PS4 tomorrow, and thanks to publisher astragon Entertainment I’ve been playing it for 5 days now….and thankfully only knocked down 1 pedestrian…so far! Bus Simulator is a game that you don’t know that you want to play until […]

A few years ago, I wrote about my love for PSVR and proudly proclaimed it as number one in my top ten video games of 2016.  I (quite rightly) received a bit of criticism from people who said “PSVR isn’t a game you fool!”  Although I was maybe a little misguided in my praise, I’m […]

For me, Fallout’s world has always intrigued me, and for years I’ve tried to play Fallout games, always giving up at certain stages. Dying is a big part of Fallout, well for me it is as I never got the hang of V.A.T.S (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) for shooting the enemies. I loved the post-apocalyptic […]

I’ve had my Nintendo Switch since day one (only the 2nd day one console purchase I’ve done, with the Playstation Vita being the other) and I love it, being able to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the go is awesome. I was the first (and probably the oldest) to pre-order […]

You may well have heard on our interview show with Kevin Toms that I was addicted to Football Manager on the Spectrum 48k back in 1982. This obsession with football management games reached its peak with ‘Premier Manager 98’, a series I always preferred over the ‘Championship Manager’ games (before it then went on to […]

I’ve been banging on about PSVR on my blog for ages and it’s another one of my latest obsessions. If you know me well enough you know that I go through a lot of gadgets. “Monkey see, monkey wants“, that’s me. I’ve owned so many versions of consoles over the years that I’m afraid to […]

Let me make things clear from the start of this review. Konami are responsible for making some of my all-time favourite video games! My childhood was filled with days playing titles such as Batman Returns, Green Beret, TMNT: Turtles in Time, and Sunset Riders to name a few. Let’s be honest, I could list dozens of […]

Can a video game featuring psychosis and mental health at the core of its story treat the subject matter respectfully yet also be entertaining?  I’ve had my eye on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice since 2015. I attended a presentation at Eurogamer Expo (EGX) featuring developer Ninja Theory. Commercial Director Dominic Matthews chatted about their vision for […]
