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: Mad Max

Reuben reviews Mad Max, and Oh, What A Lovely Game!

Review: Pillars of Eternity The White March – Part 1

The reason Obsidian chose to release The White March in sections was their desire to get new content into the hands of players sooner rather than later. An admirable and understandable decision. ...

Review: Act of Aggression

Is Act of Aggression the saviour to the RTS slump? Ryan investigates... aggressively.

Review: Until Dawn

Tim really enjoyed his time with Until Dawn. It is like a bloody, gory Scooby-Do episode with a few less dogs.

Review: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Brothers tells a tale of family loss that is at parts harrowing, charming, distressing and amusing... and always a joy to experience.

Review: Nefarious: The Mad Scientist Game!

Ever wondered what it would be like to be a mad scientist? Well, you can find out by playing Nefarious!

Review: Broken Sword 5: The Serpents Curse

Tim thinks that technology has all but surpassed the point-and-click genre to the point of making it virtually redundant. Does that get your goat, Monsieur?

Review: Bridge Constructor

Bridge Constructor is a game which invoked some mixed - mainly bad - feelings in Jamie as he strove to become a master architect.

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).

Review: J.U.L.I.A. Among the Stars

Whilst this space adventure offers puzzles that are often unclear, the unique variety of its gameplay makes Among the Stars a must-play for any sci-fi adventure fans.

Review: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution

Feeling more like a spin-off than a sequel, and with some changes to the formula that will surely shake things up, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is finally here, and it is abs...

Review: Tales of Xillia 2

When Rik previewed Tales of Xillia 2 earlier this year he sang its praises and said he couldn’t wait for its release. Well now it’s here, and after getting to sit down and spend some real time wi...

Review: CounterSpy

The tepid reviews CounterSpy received upon release almost made Diarmuid reconsider purchasing Dynamighty's debut title – but he's glad he bought it in the end.

Review: Velocity 2X

FuturLab recently confirmed that they were gunning for Velocity 2X to reach Game of the Year levels of critical acclaim – Diarmuid can only speak for himself but he believes they did just that.

Review: The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 5 – No Going Back

Telltale Games have rounded off The Walking Dead: Season 2 with an episode that swells with rising tension, helped greatly by the power of five different endings.
