The original Project CARS was a hugely ambitious game that took me quite a while to give a go because of how impenetrable it seemed at the outset. After my initial impressions of it at E3 2011, I didn’t feel like I would quite fit in with the style of game Slightly Mad Studios seemed…
It was a shocking revelation to hear that Assassin’s Creed Origins has been in the works for such a long time. For the last three years, various Ubisoft teams have been getting the game ready, and although many details about it had already been leaked over the past few months, there was still plenty of…
For the thirty or so years since its inception, Dragon Ball fans have had to endure countless less than optimal games based on the beloved Akira Toriyama franchise. From the Famicom era ’til today, there hasn’t been a game that could universally be lauded for being great; sure, some have managed to do justice to…

After clearing the African front by teeth and bullet in Sniper Elite 3, the fourth entry in Rebellion’s venerable groin shooting franchise sees him heading down to the beautiful…
Games have tried to play with fourth wall breaking ever since their inception, and for better or for worse, designers have continuously attempted to inject interactivity between characters and players with varies degrees of success over the years.
