I've been playing Monopoly for years (and ruining relationships along the way). So with the latest release of it hitting the Nintendo Switch, we gave it a spin. Bringing this to Switch was a move of genius on the part of Ubisoft/Hasbro, as the console itself seems to suit it perfectly. The ability to both play at home and then to take the console with you to play on trips and elsewhere gives a great flow to a game which can take some time to complete. Not only that, but the a

Assassin's Creed is a series that dates back ten years and after many ups and downs, Ubisoft are back, taking us further back than they've ever taken us before. Let's go back to the Origins. (Quick side note, I will not be bringing up Micro-transactions in this review. I frown upon them - heavily - however I do not think they should change a review) The first thing on the list of many things I will congratulate this game on is the choice of setting. Ancient Egypt is a near on

It’s a new year. Which means all the typical things. New political scandals, new fashion disasters and a new addition to the FIFA series. Let’s check out what FIFA 18 has to offer in the latest instalment, so get ready for new game modes, improved gameplay and the return of the legend, Alex Hunter. After 17 broke the ground with the Journey mode, introducing us to Alex Hunter, a player at the start of his career, everyone applauded EA for the best step forward they had made i

We grabbed our skates, sticks and (s)pucks and seized the opportunity to try out the latest in EA’s Ice Hockey series, NHL 18. So prepare to faceoff and see whether it’s a hit or just a poke. The first thing that struck me when booting up for the first time was the range of modes included in the game. There’s the usual modes within most sporting games; the Play Now, Create a Tournament, Online; but then we move onto the more interesting additions to the title. I began by jump

In this hectic world, where everything is scary and uncertain, we all need a little something to help us escape from it all. For some, books provide a great escape, for some, they turn to art and some turn to video games. Video games are the ultimate form of escapism. They totally immerse you in another world and help you forget about all the troubles of the world. For this review, I've chosen a game just like that. A nice, stress free game about a group of high schoolers bei

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana just dropped and we were given some time in advance to see what we thought of it. Richard gave it a spin, so take a look at his thoughts! I love RPG's. I absolutely love 'em. I've been into games since I was 6 years old and I can't remember a time where I wasn't obsessed with them. If you were to ask me what was it I loved about them so much, you'd best stick the kettle on and find a comfy place to sit because you've left yourself open to a three ho

It's 2017 and I have to admit that I was terrified to write this sentence. There's a new Sonic game. Sonic Mania has hit our shelves, shall we take a look and see if it shines like a Chaos Emerald or lives in the dark like a certain werewolf. I'm going to be blunt straight off. It shines. My god does it shine. Visually it is an incredible throw back to the days of the Mega Drive. Think anywhere from Sonic the Hedgehog to Sonic & Knuckles and you've got the aesthetic. But even

Agents of Mayhem is the follow up to Deep Silver Volition's Saints Row and we're here to tell you what it's like.

Prey has changed me. I used to be a care free human being, who would enjoy life, prance through the flowers and pick up anything shiny and interesting. That changed the moment I played Prey. Prey is a reboot of a previous franchise, one which I didn't have any previous experience with. However it's not a requirement at all. Bethesda have done a phenomenal job at making this both a game for enjoyed the original game and for those picking it up for the first time. Prey begins q

Jack Kirby takes you on a journey through a brand new world. A LEGO World.
