Firestorm. Strong name isn’t it? Well, yeah, and it makes literal sense because the classic “moving circle” in your usual battle royale game is usually a little non-descript, with only Fortnite trying to give it purpose/sense. Battlefield V has a ring of fire that slowly encircles areas of the map, and it brings destruction with […]
Battlefront 2 isn’t exactly a well-loved EA game, is it? With a massive (justified) furore surrounding its release and the awful practices with regards to lootboxes and grinding for in-game gear. You could argue notoriety more than anything else. So, I’ve held off, eventually not really being too fussed about giving it a go. Sure, […]
It’s almost cool to hate on Anthem at the minute. Not without good cause, for some of it. But in my first few hours I’ve found myself pretty happy flying around, talking to people and unlocking new Javelins. I’m maybe 20 hours total since the February 22nd release (not the initial release……..but the non-official “proper […]
Anyone that knows me, knows that they could utter either “Titanfall” or “Battle Royale” and they would pique my interest. So seeing an (almost) surprise release of a Battle Royale game, set in the Titanfall universe, understandably got me pretty excited. Enter, Apex Legends. I’ve not had the luxury of time, but I’ve had a […]
Anthem isn’t a game I’ve been particularly fussed about if I’m honest. Another online loot shooter with rpg elements…..it isn’t exactly breaking the mould, right? Well, yes and no. Thanks to a friend code, I was able to download the demo and jump in for a couple of hours over the weekend. Having not really […]
The Battlefield series is one that I’ve loved for several years now. From Battlefield 1943 to the Bad Company games, Hardline and the core Battlefield games (namely 3 and 4). Then came Battlefield 1……..I was kind of unimpressed at the premise. Don’t ask me why, because I’m not sure. Perhaps because I was burned-out on […]
About 10 hours in, a few planets scanned, a full team and a cool ship. I think I have a decent idea of what’s going on in Mass Effect Andromeda. Cutting to the chase I’ve already gone on about the troubled release of Mass Effect Andromeda, so I don’t need to re-hash it all. What I […]
Infamous barely begins to scratch the surface when describing Mass Effect Andromeda. A release that was surrounded by disappointment, criticism and upset. The return of a much beloved series (a personal favourite of mine, too) ended up being another notch in the bedpost of EA’s disaster-ridden recent years. Suffice it to say, I neither had […]
Clocking in at just under seven and a half hours, I’ve finished the campaign of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ll bother going back for more, it is what it is, and it’s done now. The good Ok, so it does the parkour thing pretty well (it’s the main selling point of the […]
The original Mirror’s Edge was a bit of a surprise to me. I’d read a few good things, but it seemed to come out of nowhere, with not so much fanfare as a modern release tends to have. I borrowed it from my brother and flew through it, having a really good time. It left […]
