I find it interesting that 2002 Capcom completely remade a beloved title so it felt like a new game, whereas 2015 Capcom just re-releases a 13-year-old remake with a controls, widescreen and texture patch. Nevertheless despite being aged in the voice-acting, aiming, and not-telling-you-anything-you-need-to-remember departments Resident Evil is still a...
There really isn’t any need for you to buy Warhammer Quest. If you liked the videogame versions of Hero Quest or Space Hulk then you’ll find it hugely underwhelming. If you liked the iOS version then you already own it. And if you like the board game I suggest sticking...
Far Cry 4
Far Cry 4 is a terrific game, with a massive amount of fun content, satisfying gameplay, and unlike a certain other Ubisoft title out this month pretty damn polished. If you’re an FPS fan you won’t be disappointed and even if it’s your only game it’ll keep you occupied well...
The best word to describe Escape Dead Island is “cheap”. Certainly not cheap to buy, as I see it’s £34.99/$39.99 on Steam, but certainly cheaply and quickly made. The island of Narapela is quite small and painfully linear but the gameplay time is padded out by Fatshark forcing you to...
Seriously DC fans, buy LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. It’s pure DC fan-service in game form. Yes it’s the same old LEGO gameplay and mechanics first pioneered in 2005, but it’s still very addictive. It’s all a lot of fun and never failed to put a smile on my face....
Randal’s Monday gets so much right it’s depressing that it gets the crucial gameplay part wrong. The voice acting, story, dialogue, graphics, music, humour, modern adventure game mechanics, that’s all impressive and lovely. Then a couple of hours in it’s like Nexus Game Studios lost their book titled “How To...
All Costume Quest needed was a more interesting battle system, better quests and a longer more involving story to be a great game. Costume Quest 2 has better quests and a more interesting story, and a better designed world. It’s still got the excellent writing, sound, and music that’ll keep...
Now The Evil Within is a good game, even if it feels a little old-fashioned with its claustrophobic over-the-shoulder camera that artificially makes it difficult for you to see enemies. It remains endlessly surprising and inventive from beginning until end, it rewards exploration, and apart from some moments of frustration...
Alien: Isolation
All these are just minor things however, and while they did drag the score down from the hallowed 9s they don’t stop Alien Isolation from being a superb game and quite possibly the best Alien game ever (although Monolith’s Aliens Vs Predator 2 comes close). At the very least SEGA...
Nevertheless I really enjoyed the 3-4 hours I spent investigating The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and recommend you check it out, although admittedly your own enjoyment will be tied to whether you find and solve all the puzzles first time around. The story is great and well told, the atmosphere...
Gauntlet
Placing an explosive barrel next to a suspicious wall and blowing a hole in it, only to sweep in and steal all the gold before the other players can get it!
Flockers
Overall though I really enjoyed Flockers. The levels may get a little samey in look but are well designed and really tax the brain muscles, the challenge is just right and ramps up perfectly, the cuteness of the sheep is inarguable and the Steam Workshop support is just icing on...
