  • Review Far Cry 3: Classic Edition (PS4)

    The definition of insanity

    We have to say, it's rather pleasant to play Far Cry 3 again.

That we are playing this entry through again...

  • Review LEGO The Incredibles (PS4)

    No capes

    The licensed LEGO games have covered plenty of cinematic ground - especially if you include the now defunct LEGO Dimensions line - and at this point they’ve become a bit of a video game institution.
