Oblivion: Remastered, PS5 Review
We thought we would give the Oblivion Remaster review to Nina. To see what a Gen-Zer, makes of this 20 year old game with a new lick of paint.

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!

Starship Troopers: Extermination, Byte-Size PS5 Review
Starship Troopers: Extermination was in early access on PC in 2023 and was officially released to console and PC in Oct 2024. This 2024 release however resulted in it being sent into the wild with a fatal weakness.
That being, the very similar Helldivers 2 arrived 6mths earlier, and Helldivers is better than Starship Troopers in every single imaginable way.
So, a tough place to start from.

Black Ops 6, Call of Duty
Call of Duty season rolls around again, its almost Christmas and that means its time for new Black Ops.
After a couple of years with Infinity Ward helming the charge through Modern Warfare territory, and let’s be fair the 2023 instalment should have been DLC and a multiplayer update.
It is refreshing to be back in the hands of Treyarch, which as a die hard Infinity Ward fan caught me by surprise.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Review
“Torn” is the word that comes to mind as I muse about Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
It is without question a fantastic game, and certainly a return to form for Bioware after many years of not being at their best.

Fusion Pro Wireless Controller by PowerA
Until the Fusion Pro Wireless controller dropped into my post box I can safely say I’ve never thought about how a controller could be a work of art. I’ve had customisable controllers in the past, but I never really got on with changing weights and sticks. It just all seemed so faffy.
Programming back buttons, yes, that’s something Ive been able to get behind, more so when you can transfer a stick click to a button press, especially when its right next to a lazy, redundant finger.

Age of Mythology Retold (PC)
If you remember the good old days of 2002, and were a fan of real-time strategy games, chances are you played Age of Mythology, a classic RTS from Ensemble Studios.
Fast forward 22 years, and it’s back with Age of Mythology Retold, a remaster that slaps on a fresh coat of paint – using the graphics engine from Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition – and it does an excellent job for anyone feeling nostalgic for those RTS days of old.

Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance Review (PS5)
I have always been a fan of RPG’s, including to a lesser degree JRPG’s. But I have never even looked at any of the Shin Megami Tensei titles. Like many games with Japanese roots, the over sexualised schoolgirl vibe has not been something I particularly like.
And on top of that, the batshit crazy storylines can be pretty overwhelming.
