‘Daylight’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

As a horror fan I love games based on the genre. I like to stick my headphones on turn off the lights and actually feel the creepy atmosphere take over as I get lost in the game. Recently we’ve had two games, Outlast and Daylight both feature a character stuck in a spooky old hospital […]

‘CSI: NY – Complete Season 9: The Final Season’ DVD Review

by Paul Metcalf

They say that all good things must come to an end, when CSI: New York came to an end it may have been a good series, but felt somewhat like the lonely third sibling compared to Las Vegas and Miami.  This isn’t to say that CSI: NY was a bad show, but with the release […]

‘Full Bore’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

I’m the type of gamer who often likes to just explore without the threat of constantly dying. I’ll have my moments where I’ll venture into something like Dark Souls 2 but for the most part it’s fun to just discover things. This is why adventure games last longer for me… and games like Full Bore. Full Bore was born […]

‘MXGP’ Review (PS3)

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to motor bike racing I tend to think of Superbikes and Motor GP, I’ve even played some of the games, though not for many years.  When loading up MXGP and making my way through the menu system to get to an actual race I knew that the races would be muddy and […]

‘Trials Fusion’ Review (Xbox 360)

by Paul Metcalf

I don’t know what it is about the Trials games that keep me coming back, but with the release of Trials Fusion I had to get it as soon as it was released.  I do feel I was kind of bucking the trend buying the Xbox 360 version of the game though, but looking at […]

‘Goat Simulator’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

What can you say about a game that was released on April 1st? Simple really, it was designed to be a joke.  Goat Simulator has something of a cult following now, it was made for fun and released as is including bugs and gamers are pretty much told to just go for it. The game […]

‘Life Goes On’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

If you have played games at all you know that death is always there.  The platform game puts those little traps, whether it be a jump too far, the monster ready to pounce or even a spiked pit just to take away those precious lives.  Life Goes On though is one of those different games […]

‘Dark Souls 2’ Review

by Paul Metcalf

If there is one thing I hate in a game its dying and losing progress that I have made.  What normally happens if this occurs is that I turn the game off and probably swear a lot, this is what many people would call a “Rage Quit”.  Why do I bring this up? Well the […]

‘Spelunky’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

Did you ever play a game called Rick Dangerous? The fact I’m asking that probably ages me slightly.  It was a platform games based on Indiana Jones and the controls were horrible.  What Rick Dangerous had though was charm that kept on calling you back, and this is why Spelunky, a very similar character keeps on calling me […]
