Forza Motorsport 4: A Final Rev At Victory Lane

'Being second is to be first of the ones who loses.' - Ayrton Senna. For a long time there has been a duel in a genre that rarely sees much competition. Since Gran Tourismo first graced the Sony PSX, the dynamics of the racing genre altered quite a bit. Arcade racing was well and truly dead. Realism became a key factor in delivering a racing simulator of the finest quality. Different vehicles, different feel. As...

Falllout Shelter: Why you should be running away from this app

Fallout is huge. Fans from all over the world waited eagerly for the GamesCon releases and for that, they have the Pip boy and some mobile app that debut on the iOS platform and later Android.  At first, you might think that you could have played this game as a teaser to its bigger release but it wasn't. It is a standalone freemium game for mobile.  Freemium. This ugly term is the buzzword of the mobile gaming industry. Free to play...

Why Wolfenstein New Order Missed its Mark

God, please why? Why did they fuck up on such a franchise? Now I was one of those who played Castle Wolfenstein on the Apple II, and yes, I am that old. That was the first game to have a sampled voice over and we learn to dish out German phrases after spending hours on it. We kicked Nazi ass even before all of those fuckers who reviewed this game were even born. Fast forward to the new era. For me, I had a pretty good time playing with Wolfenstein...

FC3 Blood Dragon Goes Retro

Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon was a DLC game for the Xbox 360 and PS3 but is it any good. To be fair, it's not really a full blown game which you may like if you enjoyed FC3. So let me explain. FC3 Blood Dragon is a weird mix of retro gaming on a current console. Though designed entirely to fit HD TV screens, the first thing you realise is that the cut scenes are all done in 1990s style PS2 sequences. Not a bad thing but the retro story telling...

Is Far Cry 4 worth its weight in Himalayan Salt?

For the record, I completed Far Cry 3 and didn't want to shag that bitch who wanted to kill you after a night of hot sex. For my sins, the Ubisoft came out with Far Cry 4. FC3 was a fantastic game. Simple to understand and with enough slaughtering  to keep even Idi Amin in a coma entertained. To live up to that expectation isn't going to be simple so does FC4 deliver? Gameplay is more of the Same? I have no problems with the story...
