FIFA 15
FIFA 15 is not quite the great leap forward that many would have hoped for but it’s a bigger jump than it initially appears to be. The changes, although infuriating to begin with as they make you re-learn elements of your game, ultimately make for a more realistic game of...
Although returning fans will get more out of Danganronpa 2, bar the occasional reference, there are no barriers obstructing those yet to play the series. Still, Goodbye Despair isn’t a game for everyone, especially those who crave action and non-stop thrills. The sheer amount of dialogue to wade through requires...
Madden 15 is easily the most complete release in the series so far, with all of the improvements tying together to create an enjoyable and enthralling game of American Football. Even if you’re not that knowledgeable about play-types or the difference between a half-back and a full-back, Madden 15 will...
Tales of Xillia 2 is a very good game, but it is definitely not better than the original. The debt system is something I found irksome, with side quests forced on me instead allowing some natural exploration on my own part. If there was more variety in the side quest...
Whether you’re new to inFamous or not, First Light is definitely worth looking into. The only reason you won’t enjoy this is if you didn’t get on with Second Son at all, and although there are some improvements, there’s not enough difference here to convince those who dislike inFamous. The...
Though Risen 3 has its moments, there is simply too much to overlook, even if you’re patient enough to make it five or six hours into the game. Role-playing die hards may be able to wring a few morsels of enjoyment from Titan Lords though others, including casual fans of...
As for the audio and narrative in Sacred 3, the game takes a major step back. Though music and sound effects are fine, the voicework is atrocious and stems from some really poor writing. Instead of adopting a serious tone or one that is lightly traced with occasional moments of...
GRID Autosport is certainly much more in line with what fans of the first game wanted to see in GRID 2, but it manages to arrive on the scene just a year later. The common blood and certain compromises are clear to see, but there have been additions to the...
To brand Dynasty Warrior’s brand of combat as poor would be incorrect though. True, the series’ trademark approach to gameplay is repetitive yet, as fans will know, there is plenty of depth and nuance to be found. For instance players can find new parts for their Mobile Suits during play,...
Valiant Hearts: The Great War is, to use a topical analogy, a game of two halves. One half is serious, with heart-breaking voice overs, battlefield massacres and historical facts, while the other half features comedic bad guys, platforming and a dog that does a “Lassie” and yaps at the heroes...
The worries I had regarding passing the reins over to another developer and publisher are laid to rest here. It is far from a perfect game but the fighting, particularly striking, is the best it has ever been. EA Canada has done a good job of showing that the UFC...
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs was probably never going to be the ground-breaking “next-gen” experience many had envisioned back in 2012. It’s hardly run-of-the-mill but at the same time only makes a few genuine attempts to break the mould. However, in these areas – such as the online multiplayer – there are genuine...
