Have to say, I am digging these RE:makes.
Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 both had me enjoying my time in front of the TV. Especially as I never really got into them back in the day when first released.
Resident Evil 4 on the other hand was my first real foray into the world of Resident Evil.

Ahhhh, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. A Souls-like game, the genre I absolutely love to hate.
I have them all, Dark Souls to Sekiro, Mortal Shell to The Surge, Remnant to Elden Ring. I love the style and design elements involved in this genre of game.
The problem being is I always struggle with them.

Right off the bat Wanted: Dead from Soleil Game Studios had my attention. The one reason was two words. Single Player. No online, no multiplayer, no invasions.
Wanted: Dead rings back to the likes of Shadow Warrior and Serious Sam where there is plenty of fun to be had without getting too serious (sorry Sam). Wanted: Dead also also manages to include some little mini games and collectables on the side.
It is a nice well rounded title with good presentation.

Startup Company Console Edition brings a successful business sim to consoles after a strong outing on Steam. Danish devlopers Hovgaard Games have obviously laboured over this title with love.
Starting from the ground level with minimal investment, the aim is to manage your business empire “to the moon”. Interestingly the simulation is heavily geared towards the Social Media / Online Sales platforms we are familiar with.
On paper this game should be right up my alley, should be.

Deliver Us Mars has come out of the blue for me. I had no idea of its existence and have to say the same about its prequel, Deliver Us The Moon.
But now after playing Deliver Us Mars, I have an interest in going back to investigate the prequel.

I don’t do scary Movies, scary TV or scary Video Games. I just don’t enjoy them, never have…and never will?
Yes indeed, confusion abounds because I love the Dead Space franchise. The sci-fi setting, the stunning graphics and immersive in-game UI all sold me on this niche genre in 2008.
Making Dead Space an all-time fav of my Xbox 360 generation.
Its 2023 and in keeping with the current market trend, EA have seen fit to have Motive Studios “remake” Dead Space… and wow. It is very, very good.
So it should be though, as the bones the remake is built on are just as solid now, as they were 15 years ago.

Midnight Suns is a big game and it came to us late in the year. So we thought it was best to let Dylan and Guy have a crack over their Christmas breaks. They put their heads together and well, at the least, I feel seen…
Thanks to 2k for supplying the codes and the team for putting in the time.

Somerville, the debut release from Jumpship. A new independent studio out of Surrey in the UK co-founded by Dino Patti of Playdead (Limbo and Inside) fame.
And this history is very evident within Somerville. Is it to the same calibre of Inside and Limbo? Not quite, but there is still enjoyment to be had here.
Although I have already mentioned Limbo and Inside as comparisons for Somerville, I think the best way to describe it is Cloverfield meets Another World.

I am a massive Rally Motorsport fan, both IRL and in video games.
Colin McRae Rally on the PSOne is still one of my all-time favourite video games. In recent years, Rally fans have only had two IPs to choose from. ‘Dirt’ from Codemasters and the official “WRC” titles from Kylotonn (KT) Games.
But with EA swallowing up Codemasters last year, and then taking the “WRC” licence from Kylotonn from 2023 onwards. 2022s WRC Generations is the last outing for the WRC franchise under KT. So, how did their WRC swansong stack up?

It’s CoD time again, and with Call of Duty MWII this year that’s not a bad thing.
Infinity Ward return to the 2019 reboot from the late PS4 cycle, continuing the story they left off.
With a familiar roster of characters and the less grizzled, but still legendary Captain Price front and centre.
Without beating around the bush in a Ghillie suit, this is one of the best Call of Duty campaigns I’ve played in a while.

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…
