​Homefront: The Revolution (2016)

Shane Battams - 15/7/2017
Picture
​Homefront was the unexpected survivor of THQ's 2013 firesale. Under new ownership, could this previously unheralded first-person shoot 'em up brand find a second wind? Shane's locked 'n' loaded with his latest review.  

​Zoo Tycoon (2013)

Shane Battams - 03/11/2016
Picture
Time for a change of pace. If you prefer looking after animals to shooting, racing and general bludgeoning, then chances are Zoo Tycoon would have been the early Xbox One choice for you. Shane checks out this youngster-friendly sim.

​Life is Strange (2015)

Shane Battams - 16/8/2016
Picture
DONTNOD followed their picturesque sci-fi thriller Remember Me with a narrative adventure that charts the fortunes of an ordinary girl gifted an extraordinary power. Shane explores one of gaming's most emotive recent outings,
​in his review. 

Need for Speed (2015)
Shane Battams - 19/7/2016
Picture
EA's venerable racing series returns for its twenty-second instalment - the first to be called simply 'Need For Speed'. Is this Underground style reboot a worthy venture, and how does it fair with an all-in online approach? Shane examines.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 (2015)
Shane Battams - 24/01/2016
Picture
The Tony Hawk brand has survived all manner of side-projects and reinventions, but in 2015, Robomodo delivered the first game to bear the 'Pro Skater' moniker since 2002. Does it mark a return to form, or prove a bit of a grind?
Fallout 4 (2015)
Shane Battams - 10/01/2016
Picture
Fallout 4 encapsulates the creative peaks and technical struggles that have come to define Bethesda's epic role-playing series. Shane examines the latest vault dweller's journey to brave the dangers of an open-world Wasteland.


​Rock Band 4 (2015)

Shane Battams - 26/12/2015
Picture
Still up for a little rockin' around the Christmas tree? Rock Band 4 invites you to dust off your weapons of musical destruction for another rhythmic metal fest. Shane grabs a mic and keyboard (of the typing variety) for our latest review.

​Mad Max (2015)

Shane Battams - 15/11/2015
Picture
Avalanche is back! Their more recent cause: to reverse the enduring trend of disappointing film tie-ins. Shane looks at gaming's latest post-apocalyptic adventure. Well, Fallout 4 notwithstanding.

​Zombie Army Trilogy (2015)

Shane Battams - 27/9/2015
Picture
​Rebellion delivered a quadruple-whammy of modern gaming trends in marrying the undead, Nazis, shooting, and triple-instalments into one game. Surely a recipe for success for this Sniper Elite derivative? Shane reviews.


​​​LEGO Jurassic World (2015)

Shane Battams - 17/6/2015
Picture
Four Jurassic adventures come together in one cinematic blockbuster of a LEGO game. Does this dino adventure come out roaring, or is the formula left feeling prehistoric? Shane finds out in our latest review.

​Sunset Overdrive (2014)

Shane Battams - 18/7/2015
Picture
Insomniac's bonkers 'n' brave blaster sees the developer switching console allegiances with their 2014 Xbox One exclusive. Shane reviews an exciting mishmash of shoot 'em up and open-world gaming.

​Forza Motorsport 5 (2013)

Shane Battams - 20/4/2015
Picture
Turn 10 Studios ensured the Xbox One wasn't without a big-hitter on launch day. Shane straps in for the latest in a distinguished line of racing sims, to see whether Forza 5 was setting the pace on new hardware. Read his review now...
