Review: Bedlam

Bedlam attempts to parody and poke fun of the shooters of yesteryear, but ultimately falls flat on its face in the process.

Review: Crimson Peak

The astounding visuals and macarbre thrills of Crimson Peak impressed Jess, even though it never quite reached its melodramatic potential.

Review: AD Prog 1950

Reuben is somewhat embarrassed that he's never actually read an issue of 2000 A.D. Will Prog 1950 make him want to rectify that?

Review: Cities Skylines – After Dark

Ryan confirms that After Dark puts more toys in the Cities: Skylines toy box.

Review: World of Smog On Her Majesty’s Service

Michael has spent some time with the gorgeous, The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service.

Review: Plague Inc. Evolved

Having found success on mobile platforms and PC, Plague Inc. Evolved infects its way over to the Xbox One in a big way.

Review: Dark Moon

Do you like gazing into your friends' eyes whilst you try to decide if they are lying to you? Then maybe Dark Moon will be your sort of good time.

Review: Tearaway Unfolded

Many games today are bleak, gritty and take themselves too seriously. Tearaway Unfolded provides a welcome respite in its colourful world.

Review: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

One of Diarmuid's favourite video game franchises concludes.

Review: Burger Boss

Tim's name is mentioned in the Thank You section of this game so this is basically a biased waste of your time.

Review: Blunt Force Trauma

It is fair to say that Blunt Force Trauma lives up to its name. Diarmuid certainly felt it.

Review: Judge Dredd: Day of Chaos: The Fourth Faction

Rik tackles the first half of the biggest event to ever come from 2000AD, but does bigger necessarily mean better?

Review: Armello

Armello attempts to blend tabletop gaming with strategy video games but unfortunately falls at a few hurdles along the way.

Review: Mice and Mystics

This review is sponsored by copious amounts of cheese and encouraged through a chorus of squeaks!

Review: Assault Android Cactus

A slick twin-stick arcade shooter from fledgling indie studio breaks out of early access and lands as one of the most fun and frustrating new IP of 2015.

Review: Randal’s Monday

Rik spent thirty minutes wandering around aimlessly before realising all he had to do was open a window.

Review: Lords of the Fallen

Diarmuid went into Lords of the Fallen waiting to be convinced by the Dark Souls formula. His views have not changed drastically after playing Desk 13's homage though.

Review: Never Alone

Never Alone tells a traditional Inupiat story of a young girl and her arctic fox companion, mixing in video segments explaining the culture of the Inupiat people.

Review: Heroes & Legends: Conquerors of Kolhar

Simon takes a look at the interesting but nonetheless mediocre mix of strategy and roleplaying that is Heroes & Legends.

Review: Senran Kagura Bon Appétit

Diarmuid was not overly impressed with the over-sexualisation in Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. The latest game in the long-running series, Senran Kagura Bon Appétit, has similar issues.

Review: Interstellar

There are few directors out there who do not have a dud in their back catalogue. Christopher Nolan continues to be one such example.

Review: How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition

Despite some issues, Diarmuid enjoyed his time stranded on an island with How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition and he believes any budding survivalists out there will too.

Review: Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition

With all of the work that's clearly gone into this remake, it's great to see the best of its original charm hasn't been lost.

Review: Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops

Despite a few niggles which get in the way of the fun at times, Diarmuid has enjoyed his enlistment in Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops.

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The inevitable reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise has just reached our shores, with Michael Bay’s involvement and the director of Battle: Los Angeles at the helm.

Review: Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus

Japanese video games have always held an interest for Diarmuid because they can rarely be described as ordinary. Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus most certainly fits that bill, but not entirely for t...

Review: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

It would be easy to dismiss Super Smash Bros. for 3DS as an inferior version of its Wii U counterpart, but it could quite possibly be the best game in the series so far.

Review: Defence Grid 2

Defence Grid 2 is tower defence at its best, however it does very little to innovate and push the series forward.

Review: Destiny

Aristotle once said that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts". Never has this been more true than with Bungie's first game in a post Halo world.

Review: Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments

Crimes & Punishments is a superb take on one of the most famous fictional detectives in the world – managing to put you square in his shoes (and deerstalker).
