  Hands On Bus Simulator Blends Crazy Taxi, SimCity, and Train Sim World to Addictive Effect

  Just the ticket

  There are simulator games for practically everything these days, so it’s perhaps surprising that Bus Simulator is launching so late in the generation. Austrian developer Still Alive Studios has been checking tickets on the PC for a while now, but this year it will make a stop on the PlayStation 4. Recognising this author’s fandom...

  DLC Review Resident Evil 2's The Ghost Survivors Brings the Toughest Tests Yet to Raccoon City

  Brutal difficulty and little story

  It's hard to argue with free, but is this really the type of content we were hoping for from Resident Evil 2 post-launch? The Ghost Survivors was pitched as three non-canon 'what if' scenarios that focused on characters we've never had the chance to play as before, but in practice, they're really anything but. No...

  Review Jump Force - What the Hell Did They Do to Goku?

  Go ahead and jump

  We've played some ugly anime games in our time, but there's a special place in art style hell for Jump Force. What should be a grand celebration of all things Jump, this crossover fighter is loathsome in its portrayal of the awesome manga and anime heroes that make up its character roster. Jump Force opts for a "realistic" visual...
