Watch Dogs
4/6/2014
It's always refreshing when a developer and a publisher take a chance on a new intellectual property, and even more refreshing when the public get excited for it. 'Watch Dogs' from Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft was announced at E3 2012, and had been steadily gaining interest since...

Wolfenstein: The New Order
26/5/2014
There's a simplistic beauty to Bethesda's newest release, Wolfenstein: The New Order. There's no over hype about 'is it better than the last one?' or 'I hope the killstreaks are better this time!' or 'Geez, I hope those laggy multiplayer servers are fixed!' Nope, it's just a simple...

Bound By Flame
17/5/2014
It seems like nowadays, all games have to have some degree of familiarity to them. This was true when I first started playing games (though it was less obvious) and it is true now. It's why we see (saw?) so many FPS games set in modern times. It's why platformers usually involve...

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
15/5/2014
Normally with a game review you can have a rough idea in your head of what to expect. Despite being slightly familiar with the 1993 anime Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, I was still taken aback by how wonderfully insane 'Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle' on the PlayStation 3 is....

Child of Light
15/5/2014
It's not often you see RPGs hit digital stores such as the Xbox LIVE Arcade and Playstation Network Store, and aside from Torchlight, I don't recall the last time I was impressed by one. 'Child of Light' from Ubisoft (developed by four Ubisoft studios) is a game that wears its...

Rabbids Big Bang (Mobile)
15/5/2014
Ubisoft's Rabbids have proved themselves an important part of gaming with their history of light-hearted and nonsensical games. Far too often we forget that games don't always have to be serious, and I've often gravitated towards Rabbids games to kill some time and have a...

Doctor Rocket
Developer: Rippleware
Platform: Android
The best thing about Angry Birds is that it inspires people to make games that normally wouldn't even think to make. The lack of logic that goes into birds being shot via sling shot doesn't even comprehend why Doctor Rocket...
