    F1 2017 Review

    I’m going to admit it. I was a bit worried when I loaded up Codemasters’ latest racer. Formula One games haven’t gone well for me in the past. I’d crash and fail for hours. Finally I’d turn all the assists way up, turn the difficulty down as far as it would go, and try to…

    World of Final Fantasy Review

    My World of Final Fantasy hype train has been running for at least 15 years.

    The King of Fighters XIV Review

    “The King of Fighters XIV is another King of Fighters, basically.” If I didn’t have a word count to consider, that’s the review I’d write, because it’s the most apt, succinct description of the game. The King of Fighters, as a franchise, is nothing if not consistent, and the 14th instalment is the latest example…
