Hitman III (XBO) – Review

Hitman III is the third Hitman in the third Hitman reboot series. If you find that a needlessly confusing sentence, tell that to IO Interactive, they won’t listen for love nor Blood Money. Once again it released the way I like it, complete enough to the point…

WWE 2K22 (Xbox One) – Review

Finally, GM is back! Alongside the first WWE game in a number of years that isn’t complete and utter tripe, as determined by whatever 2K Battlegrounds was supposed to be. 2K and Visual Concepts aren’t completely off the hook though, which is…

GRID Legends (Xbox One) – Review

The last remnants of the TOCA series, GRID Legends is an odd 25-year celebration for the series about racing fast cars around bends. I’ve been a fan of the spin-off series since its early-late PS3 days, set around a competition with a loose story, telling you that…

Elden Ring (Xbox One) – Review

I quite like Dark Souls. I am so glad I could get that off my chest for the sixth time today. If I don’t express my love enough, I end up doing it just before bed and making myself go blind. So we…

Dying Light 2: Stay Human (XBO) – Review

The next time I hear that we should just live with the cordyceps fungus rotting people’s brains and turning them into the encephalitic roaming dead, I’m going to make that person chew on a brick. Anyway, Dying Light 2: Stay Human is the sequel…

The Artful Escape (Xbox One) – Review

Recently, I’ve been doing my annual rewatch of E3 because I am a self-destructive sociopath, and it is weird to look back at Microsoft’s 2017 show where The Artful Escape came to my attention. Personally, I thought I was tripping on LCD at…

Gear.Club Unlimited 2 (Xbox One) – Review

Yesterday morning, I was playing a racing game that included an eliminator race. For the uninitiated, an eliminator race is where a clock ticks down like that of a Royal Rumble, and whoever is at the back of the pack is punted…

Evil Genius 2 (Xbox One) – Review

The year was 2004, and while Pierce Brosnan was trying to rip the clothes off of Halle Berry two years before, the years of Thunderball‘s eye-patched villain Emilio Largo was gone. Instead, those cartoonish villains were reduced to a cinder by the likes…

Hitman 2 (Xbox) – Review

I’ve been a vocal detractor of the Hitman reboots the same way I have been a detractor of the Tomb Raider reboots: the first one is godawful, and the second makes a marked improvement. That kids, is how to give the game away early…

Before We Leave (Xbox One) – Review

Before We Leave is a post-apocalypse city-builder about moving humanity from the point where Vault-Tec has Logan’s Run itself into obsolescence. You are the omnipotent god that is trying to take people from hovels while rebuilding humanity to be spacefaring tech-giants fighting space whales.…
