Persona 5
I honestly haven’t been looking forward to writing this review because despite having beaten the game once and also already being a third of the way through the new game plus mode, I still don’t know how I feel about it. So I thought we would find out together, I’ll bitch about the game for 700 words or so and at the end we will find out if it’s a great game with a few flaws or a load of old bollo...[Read More]
Mantis Burn Racing DLC
A while ago I reviewed Mantis Burn Racing, a top-down racing game brought to us by VooFoo studios (check that review out here). Since then however, VooFoo Studios has released new DLC for Mantis Burn Racing, “Snowbound Pack” and “Elite Class”, well we were lucky enough to get sent a review code for the new DLC and here’s what we thought. Gameplay The Gameplay remains largely unchanged, it’s still ...[Read More]
Horizon Zero Dawn
Well, I have since finished Horizon Zero Dawn and I absolutely loved it, unfortunately there is now a hole in my life were this game used to be, and what’s left to fill it? Mass Effect Andromeda? Eguh, no thank you. No, the least I can do is give this game the tongue bath of a review it deserves. Story Horizon Zero Dawn follows the story of Aloy, a huntress/archer/free-running badass, who, for a...[Read More]
Salt and Sanctuary
You know me, I like my beer cold, my TV loud and my video games harder than a priest in a playground, I loved the Dark Souls games, and I adored the lovecraftian horror that was Bloodborne. However it would seem that that love was completely one sided as each of these games beat my ass, and like the degenerate I am, I came crawling back for more. (Thank you sir, may I have another!) Salt and Sanct...[Read More]
Tarik
You may remember some time ago we did a comic book review of Tarik, published by “Back Pocket Comics”. Well it was more of a first impression really as it was only the first issue and it can be difficult to do a full review on just one issue. Anyway, our friends at Back Pocket Comics have written another issue to Tarik, not only that, they have redrawn, edited and coloured the original and made it...[Read More]
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a classic western role-playing video game, a spiritual successor to the critically acclaimed 1999 game, Planescape: Torment. Tides of Numenera also happens to be a fully crowd funded game, in fact in was completely funded within the first six hours, proving that if nerds want something, they will throw money at it to get it. Now this may be a glowing red spot on my ne...[Read More]
Logan
So I have just gotten back from seeing Logan and I am putting it out there right now, this one may actually be the best X-men movie never mind wolverine movie. Now, the movie isn’t in the cinemas at time of writing and I know I would be pissed if someone spoiled any of it for me, so rest assured there will be no spoilers here. Other than it’s awesome. (Fuck Spoilers!) Plot The plot is set in the y...[Read More]
John Wick: Chapter 2
I was worried after seeing the posters and trailer that John Wick: Chapter 2 would just be a rehash of the original, maybe someone else would steal his car and kill his new dog, I remember saying “if another fucking dog dies” I will walk out. Thankfully the plot is pretty original and does what all good sequels should, builds on the existing universe to tell a new story. The Plot The plot picks up...[Read More]
The Lego Batman Movie
I’ve just gotten back from seeing The Lego Batman movie and I have to say I really enjoyed the movie. As a long time Batman fan and Lego aficionado I was worried that this would be just a quick cash grab in the wake of the unprecedented success of the original Lego movie, but while it did make some nods to its predecessor it remains entirely its own thing. The Plot The plot is the standard Batman ...[Read More]
Watch Dogs 2
So I’ve just finished Watch Dogs 2 and I have to say I had a lot of fun with it. Full disclosure I never played the original because quite frankly it looked boring, a drab looking protagonist out for revenge, in a dark and gritty sandbox game? Like we don’t have enough of those. No, what drew me to Watch Dogs 2 was that it was the exact opposite, centred on a fun loving protagonist (Marcus Hollowa...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XV
So we have had our first taste of what Square Enix has in store for us on the current gen systems (Final Fantasy wise I mean) and I have to say I am pretty impressed, and I do not say that lightly because quite frankly I was not at all impressed by what I was seeing in the years leading up to this games release. To me it looked like four, identically dressed guys in a car, it didn’t have that spar...[Read More]
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 4 Golden is a Japanese role-playing game, and it happens to be one of the most engrossing games I have played in a long time. It’s a great story that surrounds fascinating characters, a combat system and an interesting time mechanic that adds a sense of urgency to proceedings. It also deals with some of the most complex issues in a video game that I’ve ever come across. Plot You play as a ...[Read More]
