Dead Rising 4
Ever since the first Dead Rising game on Xbox 360 I have been a loyal fan, I’ve played every single one of them and I enjoy slaying zombies in a comical fun way, however it’s more the story of surviving the zombie apocalypse that really catches my eye.
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV takes place in the world of Eos. With the exception of the Kingdom of Lucis, all the world’s countries and territories are under control of the empire of Nifleheim and their vast magitek armies. Noctis Lucis Caelum, the crown prince of Lucis sets out to marry his childhood love...
A quite bizarre but strangely addictive JRPG.
Just Dance 2017
If you’ve ever played a Just Dance title, or perhaps seen a group of people boogie-ing on down, then you will have a good idea of what to expect from Just Dance 2017. Just Dance is full of high-energy songs with equally high energy moves to be busted out in...
Science fiction is a genre that is defined by exploration, the unexpected and things birthed from pure imagination. Loading Human: Chapter 1 is the first narrative driven title to enter the VR arena and try its hand at this fragile balance. It is an episodic title which released alongside PlayStation...
Whoever came up with the idea of crossing mechs and a first person shooter with competitive sport is an absolute genius. RIGS: Mechanized Combat League is a triumph among virtual reality titles, and if you haven’t got it yet, please consider doing so.
Driveclub
I would like to clear the air to begin with for this piece. The extent of my racing game experience revolves around Mario Kart, which I feel I’m pretty good at. Driveclub VR takes that experience to a different level, and while I kind of sucked at it, I can...
Its been almost 10 years since a seemingly innocent little game known as Assassin’s Creed made its debut on the scene before taking the world by storm. Since then there has been a steady flow of games in the Assassin’s franchise, but all of them feature the same base principal;...
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs, despite personally enjoying it a lot; stumbled out the gate as a release of a new franchise and now we have Watch Dogs 2! New setting, new characters, new protagonist, new villain, new ctOS, new everything! But is it enough to revitalise the public’s interest in the series?...
The Sun and Moon
As a loyal fan of the Pokémon games all the way back to Pokémon Red and Blue, Sun and Moon’s release was always going to be for me one of those must have, day-one release titles. After months of teasers, hours of speculative YouTube videos, and minutes of wait time...
Here They Lie
I love a good horror game, indeed horror games and I go back a long way. Virtual reality has one of the greatest potentials in horror games in my opinion, and my first taste of this potential came in the form of Here They Lie.
From the moment I started watching the Dragon Ball cartoons as a teen I was hooked. The world of Goku, Vegeta, Frieza and their epic battles had me glued to the screen and tuned in, getting up early day after day to see what happened next. When I wasn’t watching...
