It’s that time of year again, when the two biggest franchises, in the world’s biggest sport, face off for the ultimate prize. The title of Best Football Sim. So, after decades of kicking gamely at the shins of FIFA, is 2017 the year Konami delivers a better football

The Wolfenstein franchise has a long and bloody history or killing Nazis. The later games have also been rife with social commentary, moral dilemmas, and much more heartstring tugging than a game about killing Nazis should have. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is no exception. The game follows five months

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 is an open-world, first-person tactical shooter. It’s the third entry in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series (the "3" is the clue) and the first I’ve played. It’s the first I’ve played because I don’t snipe. Slow-motion bullet cams and

Advanced Warfare dropped in 2014, it took Call of Duty in a new direction. Snappy lateral dashes, and an emphasis on verticality remapped the series’ DNA for years to come. But – as with anything – fatigue set in. Players longed for simpler gameplay, and a return to more traditional movement. The

FromSoftware have had a good track record with their downloadable offerings. Dark Souls 1, 2, and Bloodborne had extra content that expanded on the story of their respective universes, while offering a stiff challenge that only the most devout followers could truly appreciate.

Final Fantasy XV (FFXV) has been a long time coming. The world first found out about the game when it was announced as Final Fantasy Versus XIII in 2006 and it’s walked a troubled path to release since then. Despite all this, the team behind the game persevered for

Usually I struggle to come up with new things to talk about with each annual update of FIFA - but not so with FIFA 17. There are a number of changes to the franchise this year, starting with the obvious graphical changes now that the game has ditched the Ignite

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

My World of Final Fantasy hype train has been running for at least 15 years. Long before it was announced, long before it was even an idea in Hiroki Chiba’s head, I was daydreaming about a Final Fantasy monster-catching game. The good news is that World of Final Fantasy

The Last Guardian is a bad game – at least, by every metric we use to talk about things in this medium. Its design is dated, it’s a technical mess, and the controls are sluggish and unresponsive. And yet despite all that, one thing kept coming to the surface in

Supermassive Games created Until Dawn to turn your expectations of trashy teen horror upside down. Overall I'd say they succeeded – the plot twists and revelations made the game. With Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, the developers tried to do the same thing but for the on-rails shooter genre.
