Review: Glomtom

The Glomtom is a clever device that solves a problem you probably didn’t know you had. Diarmuid gives it a test drive.

Review: Pure Pool

Despite initial issues, Pure Pool does exactly what it says on the tin and has gone on to impress Tim.

Review: MouseCraft

MouseCraft is one of those games that boldly wears its influences on its sleeve and Jon feels that, in some respects, this does the puzzler some favours.

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy

Like most, when Marvel Studios announced that the next comic book property they had decided to give the ‘big screen treatment’ was Guardians of the Galaxy, Diarmuid did a double-take and asked “W...

Review: The Walking Dead: Season 2: Episode 4 – Amid The Ruins

Whilst there are plenty of ticked boxes in Amid The Ruins, the sense of impending closure is absent from this weaker installment due to patchy pacing and a drifting plot.

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: Real Boxing

The sport of boxing gets its first PlayStation Vita entry with Real Boxing, but it is a game of ups and downs.

Review: Killzone Mercenary

Putting it simply, if you own a Vita, you owe it to yourself to buy Killzone Mercenary - if you don’t, it certainly adds to the argument for why you should.

Review: Riddick

After a 9 year hiatus, Riddick is back on the big screen for what must be the last chance saloon for the series.

Review: Toast Time

Toast Time's happy facade helps mask a tough, unforgiving, challenging reflex shooter where levels need to be solved.

Review: Lost Planet 3

For fans of the series or those new to it, Lost Planet 3 is your typical 3rd person shooter. However, thanks to some added ideas and characters, it's a (ice) blast.

Review: Cloudberry Kingdom

With a name like Cloudberry Kingdom you could be forgiven for thinking this was a kid's game, full of fairies and princesses.

Review: Gone Home

As an adventure based on the premise of exploring an environment, Gone Home falls a bit short; however, the game's story is remarkably special and is one that people should experience.

Review: Shelter

You'll find love, fear and guilt in this Journey-esque adventure following a family of badgers through a beautiful and deadly wilderness.

Review: The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, a spin off title set in the world of XCOM: Enemy Unknown that may have strayed too far from its origins.

Review: Stealth Inc.: A Clone in the Dark

Curve Studios' latest game Stealth Inc. makes the jump to consoles – no prizes for guessing what type of game-play it involves.

Review: Elysium

The wait for Neill Blomkamp's next project is over and Elysium is as beautiful as his previous work – but not without its own issues.

Review: Divekick

Whether you're a hardcore fighting game fan or someone who doesn't even know what a Divekick is, you should probably play Divekick.

Review: SteamWorld Dig

This 3DS eShop platformer grabs your curiosity by the goolies and yanks it into a world rich with potential and wonder, packing more enjoyment than many full-price games for a fifth of the price....

Review: Kick Ass 2

Kick Ass and Hit Girl try to leave the super hero life behind, but a returning villain (and a successful first movie) force them to don the leather and spandex again.

Review: Dynasty Warriors 8

The ancient setting of Dynasty Warriors 8 is quite appropriate, as it seems to be stuck well and truly in the past.
