MotoGP 25, PS5 Review
If you crash out on the couch every Saturday, to catch the MotoGP Championship, and own a PS5, then this game purchase is a no brainer. As long as you are happy to climb the games steep learning curve,- and go from a weekend warrior, to a hardened track-day monster

Monster Energy: AMA Supercross Championship 25, Review
I love the Italian developer, Milestone. They make games in niche motorsport racing genres that most big studios ignore. But I dig ‘em! Be it GP Motorcycles, Motorcross, Hotwheels, Monster Trucks, Rally or in this case, Supercross. Milestone have carved out a “AA+” niche all of their own, and more often than not…they smash it out of the park.

Days Gone: Remastered, Byte Size Review
We can’t think of a PS4 game more deserving of a spit-shine, and more importantly a 2nd chance at public recognition than Days Gone. It is a hidden gem.

Doom : The Dark Ages, Review
The revitalised “Doom” games from Id Software are one of those real touchstones of “how to revisit” an old I.P right.
Id proved in 2016 that they knew how bring gruesome life to a long past I.P, and make it a smash hit again. Doom (2016) and Doom: Eternal are some of the best shooters of the last 10 years and now we have got Doom: The Dark Ages to dig into!

The Elder Scrolls Online 2025 – Byte Size Review (XSX)
With the rerelease of Oblivion potentially happening as you read this, fans of The Elder Scrolls are going to have a full plate.
Lets face it. I am ready to drop another 100 hours into Oblivion. But The Elder Scrolls Online will endure. I still regularly return to Tamriel.
The beauty and vastness is just fantastic. And since the Series X/S update it has become even better.

Indiana Jones & the Great Circle
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.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Review (PS5)
Assassin’s Creed is a game franchise older than many gamers who are playing the games these days.
It has had many tweaks and changes over the years, much to the dismay of many. After Assassin’s Creed Mirage it seemed Ubisoft was returning to the good old days of the Creed with a larger focus on stealth.
So how does Assassin’s Creed Shadows, set in Feudal Japan, fare?

Monster Hunter: Wilds, PS5 Review
I am narrative focused gamer 90% of the time. Monster Hunter: Wilds has a 9-10hr Campaign with a raft of characters all voiced and animated with extensive cut scenes…and when viewed solely as a narrative experience, it is exceptionally poor.
After the first 2hrs I even turned into KCs own Richards modus-operandi, of hammering the skip button on every cutscene!

Eternal Strands, Review
The last 10 years has generally seen a predictable or very “safe” approach to game design by the big studios. Ubisoft and EA are the prime examples of the “safe” design philosophy. Essentially just spitting out the same game in a new wrapper every year.
Eternal Strands is challenging that norm.

The Playstation Portal, hands on
Christmas was upon us, and so was the time to buy prezzies for loved ones, or more importantly, buy cool shit for yourself. Cool shit like something that allows you to play PS5 games, lying prone on the couch, while recovering from too much Ham and Potato Salad!
The Playstation Portal sits in the weird middle-ground of looking and feeling like a top-tier portable video game machine, but having no actual processing power and needing to be tethered to a PS5 to be of any use.
