The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna is more of the same variety of puzzles to pleasingly tax your brain… taking you to the point of frustration before finally clicking how you need to place that connector gem to release the next android. I am very happy to have more of this wonderfully realised world and existence… the Matrix for Androids!

3.5 / 5.0 - Rememoried
Sep 20, 2015

Rememoried is a very different game on the PC that is great value but does lack some direction

3.5 / 5.0 - Act of Aggression
Sep 22, 2015

But back to the original question "does it deliver?" Yes and no. I can see what it's trying to do and there are moments of fun, but for me it just lacked a degree of polish or something that would make me eager to get to the next level. Instead progression felt like more of something I had to do rather than wanted to do. I will no doubt play more in the future, but it doesn't have the same simple brainless fun that the classic C&C series did. A noble effort that many will find a great deal of fun in, whilst others might find it lacking something.

Blues and Bullets gives you the rawness of the emotion that has parallels to L.A. Noire

Overall if you've enjoyed the Might and Magic Heroes games before then you won't be disappointed, if you've only tried Kings Bounty before then I'd suggest jumping into Heroes VII it will seem familiar but also a little more "real" in style.

Nostalgia with a visual upgrade but gameplay stagnation.

3 / 5.0 - Fortified
Feb 19, 2016

If Tower Defense isn't your style though, then give this a miss… the different genre elements do make it more interesting and entertaining, but there isn't really enough there to make it a lasting experience… play through is extended a little by having the four different characters but the experience is not sufficiently different with each one to really make it much of a draw to play again just to see a few different weapons or short cut scenes.

4.5 / 5.0 - EA Sports UFC 2
Mar 29, 2016

Simple enough to pick up, but tricky to really master, UFC2 has a lot going for it and if you are a fan of the sport it’s certainly worth the purchase. The roster is right up to date and if you feel a bit quirky (and don’t mind a bit of DLC) you can add Mike Tyson and Bruce Lee to your roster.

Why play as a run of the mill fighter character when you can play as someone from a different genre?

American Truck Simulator Arizona DLC is country driving at its best!

If you want a fun party game this is a great choice… you have the "brand" of the Olympics plus the characters you know (and at least some you probably love). The controls aren't overly taxing which can be a negative if you like a challenge… but are great for when you just want to enjoy the game, especially with friends.

It's not hard to see why this won a number of BAFTA awards… it is one of those examples that comes about from time to time of gaming being art. A true visual novel that draws you in and leaves you wanting more. Fantastic voice acting and musical score really just provide icing on the cake here. Very worthwhile!

Good for an adventure gaming fix… and if you like a touch of horror thrown in… well you’d be hard pressed to find a better blending of the two.
