Bus Bound is a more laid-back bus driving simulator with its good vibes extending not just to its tone but even to it...
Ryse: Son of Rome
Ryse: Son of Rome is a great tale set in the Roman period, with its visceral limb chopping and an authentic weight to its centurion credentials, but as a third-person action adventure it’s something of a one shot deal with little to pull you back in once you’ve seen Marius’...
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is a strong foray into the Tolkien universe, backed up by popular combat from other major action series, with its own free-running style to boot. The Nemisis system does keep things a little fresh even if after a while it’s illusion of orc and uruk society...
The Sims 4
How does The Sims 4 measure in the grand scheme of things? It’s an excellent stepping stone for what could be moving forward, although this comes at the cost of numerous add-ons and expansions raiding our pockets. Sacrifices have been made in getting The Sims 4 to be as clean...
Dead Rising 3
Dead Rising 3 is a step forward for the series as it finally finds the confidence to expand its setting, which is mostly down to better hardware being available. Hopefully the focus going forward can be put on fleshing out more of its mechanics and not just creating larger areas,...
Does Reaper of Souls justify its asking price of a full game? If it only presented itself with Act V then no, but the inclusion of an all-new-ish character class and Adventure Mode does soothe the sting. Reaper of Souls, in conjunction with the Loot 2.0 patch, finally brings us...
DmC: Devil May Cry
Overall if you’ve got the rig and a game controller plugged in then DmC: Devil May Cry is great start to a new direction for the series, and hopefully one that will get to keep exploring this new, grittier Dante.
Darksiders II
The only actual dark side to Darksiders 2 is the less than standard delivery for its PC outing. It works exceedingly well when it works, but as I said the game is either in a state of ‘on’ or ‘off’ as there isn’t any room to fine tune graphical settings....
Diablo III
The true power of Diablo III lies in its replayability thanks to its versatility, which is the greatest kind of ability there is for a game like this. Playing through once from Act I all the way to Act IV’s conclusion isn’t going to be enough for most gamers and...
Prototype 2
Radical’s Prototype 2 improves vastly on a lot of the formula that made the first outing good; better and sexier powers, more stuff on screen to play with, addictive collectibles and fun bonus objectives, rewarding and pip-boy-esque mutations and, frankly, a better all-round character in James Heller. I can’t comment...
It may carry a lot of the same foundations as other MMOs but BioWare has given the genre something it has desperately needed - actual RPG - and that can only spell good things for us all.
L.A. Noire
Rockstar Leeds has done a great job bringing Team Bondi’s L.A. Noire to the PC, which is a thoroughly interesting and at times quite addictive crime thriller. It’s easy to get wrapped up in a case and wanting to uncover what really happened; sifting through the false smiles of NPCs...
