Dead Island: Riptide
Online coop works a treat. The game notifies you when someone is near and all you have to do is press on the d pad and 20 seconds later you’re in their game. I enjoyed playing the game with a group of people, something I really didn’t do with the...
Need for Speed: Rivals
Both careers are enjoyable however I found the cop one just a little better. It allows for a lot more freedom and really puts you in control of what you do next. You can head to your next event or chase down any racer that drives past you as you...
I would absolutely recommend this game to anybody who owns a Vita or PS3. At a budget price of $49, you’re getting both the PS3 + Vita version and a flawless cross saving experience. If you haven’t played the first 3 Sly Cooper games then don’t let that deter you...
The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has exceeded my expectations as an overall package. Vicarious Visions have done a really good job at improving the overall presentation of all three games as well as fine-tuning things such as the save system and added time trials. Above all, they’ve accomplished this...
Fighter Within
You can definitely still win matches using the more basic gestures but it simply gets extremely repetitive and eventually unenjoyable. Multiplayer is the only redeeming part of the game. It’s still bad, but the fact that you’re enjoying how bad it is with somebody else makes it hilariously fun. You...
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015
The enjoyment level of Pro Evolution 2015 is down to how you like to play sports games. It’s a lot more tactical than FIFA and feels a lot less scripted at times. Through-balls don’t just automatically work and passes and shots will go widely astray. The different is though, it...
DISCLAIMER: All multiplayer matches were played online in private matches. We can’t yet comment on how the final multiplayer and matchmaking will hold up once the servers are heavily populated. We will update our review if we feel that the experience is significantly different to our testing during the review...
Also exclusive to this remastered collection is the inclusion of Speed Run and Explorer Mode. Speed Run mode allows you to track your gameplay time against PSN friends throughout different sections of the game in order to see how quickly you can get through certain sections. Explorer Mode on the...
Another addition are INTerior Toy Boxes. You’re able to populate these inside spaces with popular items from all over the Disney universe. You can also put doors all over the place which can link to a completely different space. These can be linked to an extremely large scale and allow...
Watch Dogs 2 is the jump forward in the series that the game needed to succeed. Comparatively, it’s what Assassin’s Creed 2 was to the first Assassin’s Creed if not even better. Watch Dogs 2 is definitely one of the sleeper hits of the year. I was expecting to have fun...
Most of all though, I realised just how important it was for games like this to exist. I was sucked into this world from start to finish, falling absolutely in love with these characters that had very little dialogue or backstory, and this world that I knew almost nothing about. It really...
Nostalgia will hit hard within the first few hours, but once this fades, you’ll realise that Yooka-Laylee is never able to live up to the brilliance that was Banjo-Kazooie. You’ll get some enjoyment from the open-world platforming aspects of the game, but the unlikable characters, coupled with a clunky camera...
