Watch Dogs

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...

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....

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...

(Mobile) Doctor Rocket

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...
