Review: Far Cry 4
The loudest complaint levelled at Far Cry 4 is that it is too similar to its predecessor. Diarmuid falls into the “if it ain’t broke” camp.
Review: MOGA Pocket
The biggest barrier to Diarmuid embracing smartphone gaming is the lack of proper controls available. He got to test-drive the MOGA Pocket controller to see if they have fixed the problem.
Review: Escape Dead Island
Simon takes a look at the newest installment in the Dead Island series, Escape Dead Island. His only advice for the game and the inevitable zombie virus: Don't get it!
Review: Assassin’s Creed Unity
Assassin's Creed, for Dom, is a series that has been going steadily downhill for a while now. His biggest question coming into Unity was simply could they change things up enough to keep him inte...
Review: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Jess was impressed with the new Hunger Games movie's mature tone and ambition, as well as its stellar cast, but found it just a bit too, for lack of better word, boring.
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: Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
I was extremely skeptical about Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. I feel that Ubisoft’s most favoured series slips in quality slightly with each instalment and I don’t think I could bear to see it...
Review: Journey of a Roach
If I was to choose a critter to be a game's protagonist, I'm not sure if a cockroach would be high on my list; yet Koboldgames seem to make it work.
Review: Call of Duty: Ghosts
It appears to be that time of year once again, and no, I’m not talking about Christmas being just around the corner. It's Call of Duty time.
Review: Gravity
Every now and then, I read movie reviews which make mention of a ‘cinematic experience’ - Gravity earns said accolade.
Review: Pokémon X and Y
How time flies. It seemed like only yesterday I was trying to catch all 150 Pokémon in the original Pokémon Red and Blue versions...
Review: Batman: Arkham Origins
Set five years before Batman: Arkham Asylum, this third game in the series chronicles the story of a younger, rougher Batman who has yet to gain the polish of his older and wiser self.
Review: Proteus
Proteus is a surreal exploration game developed by Ed Key and David Kanaga, and ported by Curve Studios, which may not actually be a game.
Review: Thor: The Dark World
Thor: The Dark World succeeds in expanding the Marvel universe without losing the humour and fun that made its predecessor such a treat.
Review: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate ticks all of the 'home-console-to-mobile' port boxes – and in doing so, has become one of my favourite games in the series.
Review: Rocksmith 2014 Edition
Heavy Rock dinosaur Chris Shooter checks out the latest iteration of Ubisoft's Rocksmith
Review: Grand Theft Auto V
With the biggest map of any Rockstar game, an emphasis on executing heists and the largest selection of vehicles available, this is one Grand Theft Auto that definitely lives up to its name.
Review: Football Manager 2014
Fergie is gone, Mourinho is back, and the Premier League looks more open than it has since its inception. Amidst all this chaos, in walks someone new. This is Football Manager 2014.
Review: Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut
Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut feels right at home on the Vita. Throw on some nice headphones, turn off all the lights, and curl up into a ball as you get lost in this game.
Review: Ender’s Game
The good news is that Gavin Hood’s Ender’s Game adaptation mostly succeeds. The bad news is that I included the word ‘mostly’ in the last sentence.
Review: Beyond Two Souls
Beyond: Two Souls is the latest creation of Quantic Dream and much like the titles before it plays more like an interactive movie than a traditional video game title.
