  • Mini Review Asphalt Legends Unite (PS5) - Over-the-Top Arcade Racer Serves Up Some Free Fun

    Simple and silly

    The era of outrageous arcade racers is all but dead these days. The likes of Forza Horizon and The Crew Motorfest have picked up the mantle, but we miss the days of sliding our Ferrari F50s around corners at right-angles, with retina burning SEGA blue skies and pumping c*ck rock providing the perfect backdrop. It’d be a criminal...

  • Review Disney Speedstorm (PS5) - A New Direction for Racers That Will Raise Some Eyebrows

    Mickey Mouse Kart

    Disney video games are slowly making their impact felt on the industry again lately. For a long-time Disney fans, the re-emergence of Mickey Mouse and other iconic characters being used in video games like Disney Dreamlight Valley and seeing success is something we have waited what feels like forever to see. In the case of Disney...

  • Review Disney Dreamlight Valley (PS5) - An Irresistibly Charming Life Sim

    Your dreams come true?

    You'd be forgiven for taking one look at Disney Dreamlight Valley and writing it off as a microtransaction-laden mobile port designed to occupy your attention in the bathroom. You're presented with a mashup of Disney properties in a cutesy life sim wrapper, and it's developed by a studio that historically has worked on mobile...

  • Review Dungeon Hunter: Alliance (PlayStation Vita)

    An ill-suited alliance

    The popular dungeon crawler Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, previously seen on PlayStation 3, iOS, and Android platforms, slashes its way onto PS Vita with a few new features at a surprisingly inflated cost. The concept is simple: travel from map to map killing enemies in order to level up and snatch up loot to improve your...

  • Review Dungeon Hunter: Alliance (PlayStation 3)

    Welcome to Gothicus

    Beaten, battered and placed away in a dark corner of the cellar, our armour has been sat collecting dust, patiently awaiting a new adventure. Years have passed since the dank smell of dungeon corridors filled our noses, and the blood dripped from the tip of our swords from the slain monsters that lie upon our feet, but that is...

  • Review Modern Combat: Domination (PlayStation 3)

    More bang fewer bucks

    Question: how many times has a dinner been skipped or forgotten in favour of online shooting marathons on the PlayStation 3? Gameloft knows it’s happening daily, and with the price tag of a measly $7.99/£6.29, Modern Combat: Domination on PlayStation Network is as cheap as a skipped dinner, but is it worth going hungry? If...

  • Review Blokus (PlayStation 3)

    Gameloft's new kid on the Blokus

    More and more classic board games have been making their way into the PSN lately and now a digital version of the classic strategy game Blokus is available from Gameloft, the studio that brought the widely popular card game Uno to the PlayStation Store. The rules to Blokus are simple, but to master this block-laying...

  • Review Earthworm Jim HD (PlayStation 3)

    Essentially a re-release of the Mega Drive (/Genesis) version of Earthworm Jim with pretty visuals and a few bells and whistles; Earthworm Jim HD is extremely faithful to its original 16-bit counter-part

    Sadly, the original game wasn't brilliant even in its day. The platforming and level design remain second-fiddle, with the game's focus being on...
