EA Sports continue their new season of sports sims adding this year’s ice hockey extravaganza, NHL 18, to the line-up.
A favourite of mine, EA’s NHL series has been entertaining fans for nearly 25 years. Whilst the first current-gen iteration was a bit feature-poor, in subsequent years the franchise has gone from strength to strength. Continue reading Back on the ice with NHL 18→
Saints Row spin-off, Agents of Mayhem goes all out and turns the action up to eleven.
When Volition’s first Saints Row came out as an Xbox 360 exclusive, it filled a gap in the crime genre pre-Grand Theft Auto IV. Unlike Rockstar’s GTA game, with Saints Row, I found that the Volition had confused satire with slapstick. Continue reading Agents of Mayhem PC review→

It’s that time again, as EA Sports starts its annual barrage of sports sims, all polished and updated for the new season. Kicking things of nicely is the latest iteration of their American Football franchise, Madden NFL 18.

With Project CARS 2, the developer, Slightly Mad Studios, seeks to refine the experience, improving accessibility and increasing the level of immersion with extra weather and environmental effects. Continue reading Project CARS 2: exclusive preview→
I’ve been wondering around wearing a Get Even t-shirt since E3 2014. Whilst there in LA, a few chaps from The Farm 51 explained the 3D scanning technology employed by their upcoming game, Get Even.
I’ve often wondered whatever happened to that game.
I was quite surprised to see the game mentioned in a press release and jumped at the chance to take a look at a game that I really didn’t think would see the light of day.
Get Even is a psychological thriller set in an old asylum. It’s also a puzzle game, a stealth game, an action game and a horror game. Continue reading Get Even PS4 review→
