My first gaming memories are playing Odd Job Eddy on the Spectrum +2 and from that point on I was hooked. I have owned various consoles and PC variants and when I'm not looking after my two kids or working I'm most likely gaming.

Project Cars 2 Review

If you were a gamepad racer it was hard to like Project Cars. The handling was painful and it required a bit of tweaking if you wanted to get it anywhere near playable. However, in my opinion, just like an Alfa Romeo, on a good day when everything was dialled in, it was glorious. The changing weather was the best you’d find and the constantly changing community events were a great way to kee...[Read More]

F1 2017 Review

One of my first memories of watching Formula 1 (F1) was the 1992 Monaco Grand Prix. A charging Nigel Mansell, in the iconic Williams FW14B, chased down Ayrton Senna who inherited the lead after a loose wheel nut forced Mansell to pit. Coming out on fresh tyres Mansell set a lap record which was two seconds quicker than Senna and with three laps to go was right behind the Brazilian. However, despit...[Read More]

DiRT 4

I am a big motorsport fan. There is barely a formula I won’t watch and have been following the main categories for as long as I can remember. I have a huge appreciation for any driver who has reached the pinnacle of their chosen category as it takes a certain kind of someone to drive cars consistently fast. However, there is one form of motorsport whose drivers I hold in the highest regards....[Read More]

Seasons After Fall

As I write this review I am listening to the soundtrack for Seasons After Fall. I can safely say that this is a rarity. However, such is its beauty it just felt right to do so. Composed by Yann Van Der Cruyssen it is a masterful use of the strings. So intrinsically linked with the game itself, you can almost recount the whole story just by listening. It’s an ongoing discussion in the gaming ...[Read More]

Holobunnies: Pause Café

I don’t recall the last time, if ever, that a game’s spin-off title has appeared before the game it has been spun off from. Still, there’s a first time for everything and Holobunnies: Pause Café manages to achieve just that. Launching ahead of its parent (Holobunnies: The Bittersweet Adventure) it comprises of three mini-games to introduce to the Holobunnies and their world. What’s unfortunate is ...[Read More]

Dead Rising 4

I have fond memories of the original Dead Rising game. I played the demo (remember those?) repeatedly until the day came when I picked it up after its full release. It was everything I wanted it to be and then some. There were masses of zombies and a myriad of ways to dispatch them. Added to the mix were fellow survivors in need of being rescued and some rather unhinged people who needed to be dea...[Read More]

Super Dungeon Bros

I’ll be honest, when I saw that Super Dungeon Bros (SDB) was to be launched and become instantly a Games with Gold I was a touch worried. It’s like seeing a sequel to a movie you liked being direct to DVD release, you instantly meet it with a tinge of doubt. For me, at least, it sends a message that either the game isn’t that great or, more likely, it’s filled with microtra...[Read More]

Football Manager 2017

For as long as I can remember there has been one game that has been my go to when all I wanted to do was while away a few hours; Football Manager. I’ve yet to miss an instalment and played almost every version prior to its name change. It has come a long way since its days on the Amiga and with every iteration, it is slowly moving away from the rather unflattering tag of being called a glori...[Read More]

Destiny – Rise of Iron

It's time to get a little misty eyed as Destiny's final chapter is told.
