2018 feels like forever ago but I covered the shock revelation at E3 that Battletoads would be returning for their first game in over 20 years. At the time it was claimed it would feature hand drawn graphics, three-player couch co-op game play and had a tentative release date sometime...
The F1 2020 season was curtailed due to COVID 19 earlier this year, so the worlds most popular motorsport series’ such as NASCAR and Formula 1 moved to televised online racing. While most eschewed their official games and went with premier racing sim iRacing, Formula 1 stuck to their guns...
I love a great racing game, since the dawn of videogames they have always been a constant. Great arcade racers like Outrun, Daytona USA and Ridge Racer; then there are more sim style racers like the original Need for Speed and Test Drive, the genre evolved into games such as...
Obey Me is a frantic supernatural brawler developed by Error 404 Game Studios and published by Blowfish Studios. But with all of the alternatives on the market, does the world really need another co-op brawler? And if so is this one worth your money and your time?
Need for Speed: Heat
Need For Speed is one of the classic racing game franchises. Ever since making its debut on the ill-fated 3DO in 1993 (even then featuring traffic and police chases) it’s been through its peaks and troughs. The first three games in the series I still enjoy playing from time to...
FIFA 20
FIFA 20 truly is an excellent game. It is packed with content, featuring loads of teams and leagues from all over the world. It features no less than four different career type modes. You can be a major league (or minor league) player, a football club manager, or create your...
PixArk
PixARK is a spin off of 2017s Ark : Survival Evolved featuring the same premise but set in a Minecraft-style cutesy block world. While it has been in Early Access (or Xbox Game Preview) for a while, it’s now officially available. It is a sandbox style survival game set in...
Team Sonic Racing
When Super Mario Kart launched all the way back in 1992, mascot-based kart racing with weapons became the next big thing. Mario Kart 64 kicked it into the stratosphere and this genre was a sure fire moneymaker back in the day. For a while, every man, his dog and their...
Dead or Alive 6
Dead or Alive 6 is the latest in a franchise that has a strange place in the beat ’em up world. On the one hand, Dead or Alive is a perfectly enjoyable fighting game franchise, one could argue prime for button mashing. Far less complicated than Tekken, a little less...
Travis Strikes Again : No More Heroes had me at its E3 debut and gameplay trailer hello. That cinematic where Badman arrives at the trailer to seek revenge. Travis Touchdown is playing videogames and the fight is gritty and awesome. It was all pulp fiction cool. The concept of getting...
Back in 1994 when Sony was entering the market with PlayStation, arcade gameplay was king. To that end it partnered with one of the greatest players on the scene, Namco. The result was three new franchises being Tekken, Ridge Racer and Ace Combat. Ultimately all of these franchises found their...
SoulCalibur VI
My first experience with SOULCALIBUR was back in the days of the Sega Dreamcast. Developer Namco had a tight relationship with Sony at the time and as a result Tekken was not heading the direction of the Sega Saturn or N64 no matter how badly we wanted them. SOULCALIBUR on...
