As the Xbox One’s catalogue of games deepen the variety of genres on offer widens. With the ID@Xbox program now in full wonderful swing every different type of video game is quickly being catered for, from point and click adventures to space trading and combat sims, such as Starpoint Gemini 2. Developed by Little Green Men Games (LGM) a smaller indy developer from Zagreb in Croatia, Starpoint Gemini 2 (SG2) is a…
Much like buses, you can be waiting for what feels like years for one to come along and then several show up all at once. For years the space trading and combat simulation game had little representation on PC and even less on console. Then a couple of months ago Elite: Dangerous got its full release on Xbox One and just last month Starpoint Gemini 2 was ported onto the console. Now after a few months of only being…
While WWE on TV is isn’t as over with the universe as it would like to be, WWE 2K16 recovers from the injury of last year’s instalment and comes out to its biggest pop in recent years. WWE 2K16 needs little introduction at this point. As this year’s instalment of the annual WWE wrestling series put out by 2K, the game is most likely what you thought it was when you clicked on the title of this review. In addition…
In many ways Fallout 4 feels like coming home. While the wasteland in Fallout 4 is a different one to Fallout 3 and New Vegas the world is instantly familiar. The world of Fallout is a hostile, unforgiving, unwelcoming and miserable place. Filled with desperate people, super mutants and killer robots, the future created by a global nuclear war is a bleak one and yet it is one I love spending time within. While the…
I play a lot of open worlds games. Something about them appeals to me, perhaps it’s because I love to get lost in a world. The genre is one that has only grown in popularity over the last few years and it’s one that has developed massively since Just Cause 2 was released over five and a half years ago. More importantly I played Mad Max from Avalanche, the same developers as those who created the Just Cause…

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the eleventh main instalment in the long running franchise and this particular entry is brought to us by Sledgehammer Games. If you need me to remind you that these games are published by Activision, I have to wonder what rock you have been living under for the last decade or so. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the granddaddy of modern military first person shooters, a sub-genre…
Far Cry 4 lands at that time of year where game critiques put our heads in our hands and wonder how many more games can possibly be released in the space of just a few weeks. The answer it would seem is always more and the reason that matters is that games especially at this time of year need to do something different to stand out. Far Cry once again comes to us from Ubisoft, hot on the heels of a disastrous launch…
Sometimes when I look back at my reviews I notice a certain formula to my critical stylings. A way in which I approach a game and subsequently put my considered words onto the virtual paper you see before you. This formula is my style I suppose, the way I like to convey my thoughts about a game to you, in a similar way to this, Telltale Games seem to approach all of the disparate licenses they acquire in a…
