Indiana Jones & the Great Circle

Gerard Campbell 195 Views ,  ,  , 

There’s a moment in Indiana Jones & the Great Circle when I suddenly realised that exploring tombs filled with mummified remains on your own with only a lighter for company must be a pretty terrifying thing to do.

I was already feeling uneasy as I inched my way through darkened corridors, brushing cobwebs away, and hearing a slightly unnerving unintelligible voice on the strange wind that seemed to rush through.

I carried on regardless, eager to see what lay at the end.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Review (XSX)

Barrie Clarke 894 Views ,  ,  , 

I can’t remember a more anticipated title release with less marketing than Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice from 2017 was an award winning hit. So it can as no surprise we have a sequel, but to have such a low key release is just downright strange.

Maybe with it releasing Day 1 onto Game Pass was the reason?

Redfall, Massachusetts. A lovely island town with great amenities and plenty for locals and tourists alike.

A Plague Tale: Innocence was a bit of a sleeper hit. Well, to be honest it was down right over looked by many.

Asobo Studio came up with an absolutely stellar piece of gaming in both the story telling and execution departments. The sister and brother duo of Amicia and Hugo de Rune were really put through the ringer in their first trial set in 14th century France. 

What with the Hundred Years’ War, Hugo’s illness, and all those rats…

Forza Horizon 5 Review (XSX)

nd the first Forza Motorsport on the original Xbox, it had me hooked. But then in 2012 came the first Forza Horizon on the Xbox 360.

It was the Horizon Series that reeled me in. The freedom and forgiveness that Horizon has over its Motorsport brother is far more to my liking, and driving style. And here we are now in 2021 with the fifth instalment in the Forza Horizon franchise.

Viva Mexico!

Back 4 Blood Review (XSX)

Barrie Clarke 1401 Views ,  , 

many are calling a spiritual successor in the form of Back 4 Blood. Developer Turtle Rock Studios (renamed as Valve South) are the team behind the Left 4 Dead games and even the format of the game name points towards a sequel to Left 4 Dead.

But thanks to Copyright/Ownership/Politics Turtle Rock Studios in its current form had to create a ‘new’ IP. And so Back 4 Blood is born.
