‘EA Sports F1 ’24’ Review – PS5
In the words of the great Sturgill Simpson from the album ‘SOUND AND FURY,’ going full speed is the greatest escape for some. However, most of us regular folks must obey the laws of the road and physics so as not to cause major issues. That’s where the beauty of video games and simulations comes into play. I’ll probably never hit over 130mph (legally) but I can get a sense ...[Read More]
‘F1 23’ Review – PS5
Anymore, there is a lot of saturation for Formula 1 in America. There has been rapid growth in the sport in North America. Three Grand Prix in the USA now alone. The series is still seeing major success from the Netflix Series, ‘Drive to Survive’, and it’s clear that the series is here to stay. How does that popularity transfer to the gaming world though? ‘F1 23’ is t...[Read More]
‘F1 Manager 2022’ PC Review
The prestige and elegance of Formula 1 have changed ever since ‘Drive to Survive’ came out on Netflix. Learning how ruthless and aggressive teams can be, how the sport can put up above the clouds one minute, then back to reality and out of a ride the next (see Daniel Riccardo and McLaren). It’s such a money-driven and illustrious sport that you’d kill to be a fly on the wal...[Read More]

F1 2019
Another year and another Formula 1 title from its gaming custodians, Codemasters. Last year’s effort was a solid entry into the series and maintained its delicate balance between being a simulation and enjoyable for the casual fan. However, in our summation we noted that whilst there were improvements it needed some decent updates in this year’s title for things to not stagnate. For th...[Read More]
F1 2018
Since Codemasters were granted the official license for Formula 1 and released their first title in 2009 they’ve slowly, but surely, built things up year on year. All this hard work came to fruition and made last year’s F1 2017 the best F1 title to date. It also showed that building things up over time can result in a solid title as opposed to one that rests on laurels given no other d...[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]
