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.

Third Person
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.

Stellar Blade X NieR : Automata DLC
Stellar Blade X NieR DLC got me to reinstall one of the best games around, and reminded me that it is a real 2024 GOTY contender for me.

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.

Star Wars: Outlaws, PS5 Review
I am a massive Sci-Fi fan, so Star Wars: Outlaws should be floating my space boat. Be it Star Trek,

Stellar Blade, Review
Anyone who doubted South Korea is now a total powerhouse of game development, needs to read the tea leaves. Stellar Blade is the first “AAA” outing for Seoul based developer Shift-Up and they have knocked it outta the park. Part Nier: Automata and part Sekiro but still… unique and most importantly, brilliant fun.
The PS5s arsenal of exclusives is even stronger for having this game in its quiver of titles.

Helldivers 2, Review (it’s awesome!)
In recent months I have struggled to find a game that really gels with me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played a number of titles recently that I’ve enjoyed. But it’s been a while since something’s really grabbed me- since I’ve played a game that I think about even when I’m not playing.
Then, Helldivers 2 released.

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart PC
Ratchet & Clank are one of PlayStation’s most endearing duos, first appearing on the PlayStation 2 in 2002 from developer Insomniac Games.
The pair were a resounding success on Sony’s games console, and over the years appeared in such classics as Tools of Destruction, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal.
Now we have Rift Apart PC.

Resident Evil 4 (2023) Review (XSX)
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.

Dead Space Remake, Review
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.

Gotham Knights, Review
Gotham Knights, oh, how the mighty have fallen. WB Games in conjunction with the geniuses at Rocksteady Games crafted the best super hero games ever made.
The Batman Arkham games revolutionised 3rd person brawler games and still hold up today. However, with Rocksteady moving onto a new I.P and WB Montreal now taking up the “Batman Universe” games, we have as a result received Gotham Knights.
And Oh…how the mighty have fallen.
