Review: Pixels

When you think about a movie showcasing the best retro games destroying the world; your mind should also see Adam Sandler ruining an intriguing concept with his lack of tact.

Review: Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut

The main problem Calum has with Q.U.B.E. Directors Cut is how he's supposed to address it. Is Qube okay?

Review: Dead Rising: Watchtower

A zombie game originally inspired by a zombie film, in turn inspires its own spin-off zombie movie, the cycle continues as the shuffling corpse that is the undead genre never ends.

Time to give those Bare Knuckles a work out as Streets of Rage 2 comes back for another round.

Review: Inside Out

The sweet sincerity and astounding imagination of Pixar’s latest film left Jess with a sunnier outlook on life.

Review: Game of Thrones – Episode 5: A Nest of Vipers

This is the best episode of Game of Thrones to date – yet whether the player's choices will genuinely influence the endgame is in question.

Review: The Night Crew

A somewhat underwhelming movie saved by a couple of excellent moments and a liberal application of Danny Trejo.

Review: Knights of Pen and Paper 2

Knights of Pen and Paper 2 is a sequel in its truest form. Getting rid of the mechanics that did not work in the previous game and expanding on those that did.

Review: Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 3 – Catch a Ride

Catch a Ride is the strongest episode of Tales from the Borderlands so far - the action, humour and excitement Telltale has managed to keep consistent certainly helps.

Review: Game of Thrones: Episode 4 – Sons of Winter

Sons of Winter delivers more of the same, with some surprise character developments yet no strong sense of story progression.

Review: The Swapper

Originally released over a year ago, Facepalm Games’ The Swapper has made its way to Sony’s current platforms thanks to Curve Studios – with Curve Digital handling the publishing of the game.

Review: Top Gear: Race the Stig

Top Gear: Race the Stig builds on the well-worn ‘endless runner’ genre (in this case, ‘racer’) and incorporates elements from the popular BBC TV show to add a new twist on things.

Review: GRID Autosport

Codemasters' latest GRID promises to be the one-size-fits-all suit of racing games. Is it a game of its word? Jon straps on his best racing goggles to investigate.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 5 – Cry Wolf

While The Wolf Among Us may not have the emotional punch that Telltale’s other key franchise had in its finale, Cry Wolf manages to end on a satisfying note.

Review: Transformers: Age of Extinction

As with every other entry in this series, Transformers: Age of Extinction adds yet more evidence to the argument that the fun, frenetic action movies of the 90s are no longer within the capabilit...

Review: Blue Estate

Blue Estate offers us a crude, innuendo-laden look at the life of Tony Luciano, while also given us a competent addition to the on-rails shooter genre.

Review: Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Valiant Hearts tells a story set in the middle of World War I, with all of the historical events intact, but is far more concerned with the people affected.

Review: That Trivia Game

That Trivia Game aims to fill a genre gap in the next-gen library - but Diarmuid doesn't think it goes far enough.

Review: How To Train Your Dragon 2

DreamWorks have seen fit to release a sequel to one of Diarmuid's favourite movies and once again, it took his breath away.

Review: 22 Jump Street

Chris Miller and Phil Lord are quickly becoming some of the best talents in Hollywood right now. 22 Jump Street delivers yet another reason to praise the pairing.

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 – In Sheep’s Clothing

Traditionally, penultimate episodes involve quite a bit of preamble. Praise be to Telltale Games then as they deliver one of the most thought-provoking and dramatic episodes yet.

Review: War Thunder (with Ground Forces)

Seven months after the game was released for the PlayStation 4 in the EU, and almost two years after the game went into open beta on PC, War Thunder has finally arrived for PlayStation 4 on North...

Review: Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow may not be the best movie of the summer so far but it is a fantastic action movie, worth your time.

Review: Watch_Dogs

It was once said that "the pen is mightier than the sword". With Watch_Dogs, it now seems "the phone is mightier than the gun".

Review: Monochroma

Whilst it lives up to the promise of a deep visual experience, Monochroma is ultimately unsatisfying thanks to a frustrating lack of control.
