Kris Wall reports from EGX 2015… By far and away the game with the most impressive wait time of the whole event was Tom Clancy’s The Division with Ubisoft reps speaking of queues up to 5 hours long within mere minutes of the doors to the event opening.

EXG 2015: Hands on with Cuphead
Kris Wall reports from EGX 2015… Without doubt in my top 3 games on show at EGX 2015 and the one I couldn’t help but return to for ‘just one more go’, Cuphead was an utter delight from the moment I picked up the controller and made me instantly jealous that I don’t own an […]
EGX 2015: Hands On with Star Wars Battlefront
Kris Wall reports from EGX 2015… EGX offered gamers the chance to have a play at two different modes of Star Wars Battlefront and I was lucky enough to be able to go hands on with both. Up until now, I had never played a game in the Battlefront series, but I’ll admit to getting […]

Video Game Review – OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood
Kris Wall reviews OlliOlli2: Welcome to Olliwood… Just one more go. Four words that every gamer has uttered to themselves time and time again.
