If the story itself is a little straightforward at times, the environments more than compensate, and the make for a rich narrative tapestry that continues to delight players from start to finish. Coupled with the near-perfect use of the second screen and all kinds of small extras (like a complete...
While I do hope the series now has a rest for a year or two to give the creative folks a chance to regroup and come up with new ideas, now that the Assassin’s Creed series is happy to hop around eras and settings I’m looking forward to where we’ll...
It’s time for one of those dirty little admissions that no game critic should be making; I haven’t played either of Rocksteady’s Batman games. I know them by reputation to be some of the finest examples of games this generation, however, and that’s especially impressive considering they are licensed titles.
It’s almost tragic how underdone this port is. As old as Myst is, I still enjoy the kind of game it offers, and to have a version on the 3DS for on the go play would have been great. Sadly, it is very, very difficult to recommend this, even to...
I’ll try and explain this simply because it’s a complex system to describe, but please be aware that it quickly becomes a very familiar system; by using an item, a gauge attached to that item starts to fill up. Once it fills up completely it “bursts” and that item is...
Being that this is episode one, there are more planned and I for one am very excited to see what Telltale has coming up next. I am completely invested in the story and characters, making this a pretty easy title to recommend.
It’s not the longest game either; two solid evenings of play (with a glass of red wine to set the mood, naturally), and you’ll be able to work through the eight chapters. The experience is also very linear which hurts its replay value. Inevitably some players will jump up and...
I am not an F1 fan. I don’t really get the huge appeal. However, after playing this game, I can certainly start to enjoy games based on the sport. It wouldn’t be the first time a game has got me into a sport. However, for the most part I fear...
I can also see a time where remaking the same mechanics over and over again will start to stagnate the franchise, and that would be a crying shame. It hasn’t quite stagnated yet, though. As a fan of the Disgaea series, D2 is still one of my highlights of 2013.
Aside from a bit of multiplayer fun, I didn’t find much value in Dragon’s Crown to be honest. It hides a lot of shallow gameplay behind some impressive art direction and a load of quite cynical exploitation. The fact that I’m not a massive fan of beat-em-ups notwithstanding, this wasn’t...

Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut is a great game. It has some flaws, but from start to finish you’re pulled into this dystopian experience that makes you want to get to the end to find all the answers. It has multiple endings, which are influenced by your actions throughout the...
