‘Total War: Warhammer’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

I’ve always been a fan of the Total War games, but found myself drifting away from them after Empire: Total War. As a fantasy fan though, Total War: Warhammer pulled me back in somewhat, especially with the trailers which showed the epic battles of humanity and the creatures of the Old World. Was this a […]

‘The Culling’ – Closed Alpha Thoughts/Review

by Paul Metcalf

I may not be good at them, but I like survival games. I tend to spend some time on H1Z1 when I have the time, and find the Battle Royale (or as they call it now King of the Kills) the more fun side of the game. This is why I decided to try out […]

‘Layers of Fear’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

In my Early Access (P)review of Layers of Fear I found it to be an atmospheric game that had potential. I also compared it to P.T as it obviously uses that game as an inspiration for some of the things we see in the game. Now ready for release as a full game, is it […]

‘Firewatch’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

Firewatch may be described as a walking simulator. Some may even say that as something of an insult. But the fact is, this game is more of a hiking (or orienteering) simulator that tells a story… A story that is well worth experiencing. The best way to play Firewatch, as with many games of this […]

‘LEGO Marvel’s Avengers’ Review (PS4)

by Paul Metcalf

When it comes to LEGO games they are pretty reliable. They have that humour that we can expect, they understand the audience they are catering for and they know how to treat the licenses they are entrusted with well… Which is exactly what they have done with LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. While we’ve seen Marvel characters […]

‘Just Cause 3’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

When Just Cause 3 was announced, the idea of being able to cause chaos and blow things up seemed very inviting. Bringing the game to the current generation of consoles and PC seemed a perfect fit for a game where the story could take the backseat and pretty explosions could hypnotise the players. To the […]

‘Mordheim: City of the Damned’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

Mordheim: City of the Damned is the type of game I tend to not be good at. While playing it tends to punish me for being too impulsive, and I’ve not got the patience to handle the resources that I need to control. When it plays so well though, it’s also a game that keeps […]

‘Clandestine’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

Some games, while they offer a single player experience thrive off being social. However Clandestine is well thought out enough to let one player succeed, but to truly find your groove you need another person to work with you. In the game, the year is 1996, five years after the Soviet Union has fallen. With […]

‘Pulse’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

Most games treat the main character almost like a super hero, giving them the ability to withstand more than the average human could, and powers to give them an added edge. This is what allows us to enjoy the game, the escape from reality. In search for a new experience though some games have started […]

After the impressive way that Telltale Games managed to wrap up Tales From the Borderlands I wondered if Games of Thrones would find similar success. With Games of Thrones: Episode 6 – The Ice Dragon there were a lot of story strands to wrap up, and the problem may be that not all of them […]

‘Fallout 4’ Review (PC)

by Paul Metcalf

NOTE: This review/initial thoughts is based on 10 solid hours of gameplay… There has been so much hype around Fallout 4 that it would be hard for the game to live up to what people expected it to be. One thing I noticed before its release though was the complaints around the game, mainly around […]

Before I start this review of Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide, I should probably say that I’m not a huge Warhammer fan though it always intrigues me, and I dip into many of its games. What I am though is a fan of trying out new experiences. This is why I took part in the beta, […]
