Video Game Review – Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

by

Villordsutch reviews Borderlands: The Handsome Collection…I can still recall buying my first copy of Borderlands: GOTY edition and instantly being impressed with the visuals and the dark humour that came stapled to it, so much so that when Borderlands 2 arrived in 2012 I actually went out and bought it on release day.  This was always […]

Video Game Review – Tales from The Borderlands: Episode 2

by

Martin Burgoyne reviews Tales from The Borderlands: Episode 2…Now I have never played a Borderlands game before, but thought they looked cool. All cel-shaded and very different to anything else out there. I think that all of this translates over so well as the games clearly have a very specific sarcastic style of humour. Don’t worry […]

Video Game Review – White Night

by

Martin Burgoyne reviews White Night…White Night is an ‘Old School’ survival-horror game, shot in a very stark black & white style with heavy film noir influences. You play a mysterious individual who crashes his car late one night after he tries to avoid an apparition in the middle of the road (sound familiar?) The game is set in the […]

Video Game Review – 5 Star Wrestling

by

Tom Jolliffe reviews 5 Star Wrestling… Wrestling has been immensely popular over the last thirty years. Once a bastion of Saturday afternoon entertainment on TV during the 2-3 three channel days, it then became less sport and more entertainment focused. A living, athletic and slightly sweaty soap opera, full of drama, twists, turns and budgie […]
