Fable Anniversary
There’s nothing quite like the Fable series. While many roleplaying games draw on the fantasy of Tolkien and George R.R. Martin, Lionhead’s leading franchise imbues fairy tale and folklore with the youthful adventure of the Harry Potter books, the irreverent buffoonery of Monty Python and the bawdy humour of Chaucer....
Boasting a strong female heroine in Aveline, Assassin's Creed: Liberation is worth the asking price, but only just. The fragmented story was excusable on PS Vita, but on Xbox 360 and PS3, Assassin's Creed: Liberation's myriad cracks and flaws are glaring. Aveline may be a thinly-drawn character, but she's one...
When Microsoft purchased Danish developer Press Play back in 2012, there was always the question, “why?” With very few franchises under their belt or much triple-A experience, it was a questionable choice. Now we know why. To create a successor to their original hit, Max & the Magic Marker. Interesting....
A solid port of its mobile and PC counterparts, Halo: Spartan Assault is an enjoyable twin-stick shooter that provides little in the way of real longevity or value for money. Still, if you've nothing else left to play on Xbox One, you could do a lot worse.
Peggle 2
At face value, we'd have never thought that Peggle would unapologetically consume hours of our life and never give them back. But lo, it did upon its release back in 2007, and still does today, as we dip into it on occasion to satisfy our Peggle cravings. And now it's...
Fighter Within
Better than Fighters Uncaged, but that wasn’t too hard. Fighter Within works, and that’s the only positive thing to say about it. For £50, you’re best off paying for a session of S&M with your local masochist. It’d last longer.
Need for Speed: Rivals
Drifting around a long, sweeping coastal road in Need for Speed: Rivals, behind the wheel of a roaring, tyre-screeching Ferrari 458 Spider, with cop car sirens blaring in your ears, supercars breathing down your neck and waves crashing in the distance, has to be one of the most enjoyable next-gen...
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is one of those games that simultaneously launched for current and next-gen consoles, along with the likes of LEGO Marvel and CoD: Ghosts. And like those games, Black Flag for Xbox One is the exact same game, but with marginally prettier visuals. That means all...
FIFA 14
Next-gen platform reviews for cross-generational games thus far have been an exercise in copy and pasting the last-gen, tweaking a few paragraphs regarding the graphics, then bosh, job’s a good’un – unless you’re Battlefield 4 in that case, what with it’s 64-player multiplayer and 60 frames per second. FIFA 14...
Brilliant combat, a sumptuously produced story and some of the best visuals we’ve ever seen make up for the limitations of the gameplay. Ryse: Son of Rome is bloody good fun.
Bearing the weight of Xbox One's launch day racing hopes entirely on its own, Forza Motorsport 5 is a more than worthy addition to the storied racing franchise's history, and a strong first crack at next-gen. However, it's a game that's so in love with its own style that it...
My name is Duchess Gummybuns, and this here is the slamacow review of Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! Truly the grand vizier of all video game names, but does it have the mathematical skills to deliver an experience that can match the hilarious, surreal and weird...
