Video Game Review – Ride 2 (Video Review)

by

Lewy Buck Reviews Ride 2… As someone who has always been interested in motorcycles, motorcycle games have never quite cut it with me. The games that were currently available to us for example the MotoGP series all seemed to…professional. The thought of riding nothing but racing grade motorcycles around an official track seemed linear, tedious […]

Video Game Review – Shu

by

Andy O’Flaherty Reviews Shu… Originally slated for a release last year after impressing at GDC 2014, and after many graphical overhauls and gameplay tweaks, Coatsink and Secret Lunch’s Shu is finally here.  A 2.5D platform adventure with emphasis on speed-running, players control the bird-like ‘Shu’ (a reference to the Greek God of Air) and go on […]

Video Game Review – Shadow Warrior 2

by

Ray Willmott reviews Shadow Warrior 2… In a week where Duke Nukem is celebrating his roots with a remastered rendition of his classic 3D exploits, Shadow Warrior is set to reach the peak of its popularity. Which is incredibly ironic considering Lo Wang’s original adventure was an Eastern parody of everything Mr Nukem stood for […]

Video Game Review – Talent Not Included

by

Josh Cui reviews Talent Not Included… The developers over at Frima Studio have brought to us Talent Not Included, an indie action platformer which although it provides a few hours of fun platforming with a unique setting, ultimately falters in giving incentives for progression and fails to breakthrough the vast array of platformers available.

Video Game Review – Bioshock: The Collection

by

Kris Wall reviews Bioshock: The Collection… Another month and another remastered collection, and whether you’re a fan or not it looks like remastered games are here to stay. The bigger question now is whether there is enough in these remastered games to tempt back old fans for a second purchase, as well as attract new […]

Video Game Review – Dead Rising HD

by

Kris Wall reviews Dead Rising HD… It’s been 10 years since the first Dead Rising was released as an Xbox 360 exclusive. It played as the crazier and funnier cousin to Capcom’s own Resident Evil series as players took on an overwhelming amount of onscreen zombies with whatever they could lay their hands on. At […]
