A bad idea poorly realised, it’s hard to argue that Kick Off has any place in the modern world and this badly made revival seems to prove it.

Not the revival Carmageddon veterans will have been hoping for, and far too glitchy and unrefined to draw in more casual fans of vehicular violence.

5 / 10 - Driveclub VR
Oct 13, 2016

Rather than being PlayStation VR’s killer app this updated racer lays bare its limitations in embarrassing fashion, at least until the PS4 Pro comes along.

5 / 10 - Driveclub
Oct 6, 2014

A game that should probably have been cancelled rather than delayed, with its complete absence of personality or new ideas.

An uninspiring start to the season, that even fans of the show will find stilted and tedious. Although they can still foster high hopes for later episodes.

Another uninspiring episode of nothing but filler and hopes for the future, although that's as much a criticism of episodic content as it is the game itself.

6 / 10 - WWE 2K17
Oct 19, 2016

The forward momentum from last year’s improvements already seems to be faltering, as the weight of bugs and glitches ruin many of the new features.

Not one of the best map packs Call Of Duty has ever seen, and yet for some reason one of the most expensive. Being Michael Myers is fun though.

6 / 10 - F1 2015
Jul 9, 2015

The racing and visuals are good, but the scarcity of modes and options means this is another year where the official F1 tie-in barely makes the starting grid.

6 / 10 - EA Sports UFC
Jun 19, 2014

A surprisingly hesitant start to EA's new sports series, in terms of both the amount of content and the disjointed action.

6 / 10 - WWE 2K15
Nov 19, 2014

A relatively promising next gen debut, but it's still missing lots of older features. And even with a few new ones it's hard to think of this as anything but a work in progress.

6 / 10 - The Crew
Dec 10, 2014

An odd mix of Test Drive Unlimited, Assassin's Creed, and Destiny. And while the combination is tastier than it sounds it also has an awful lot of lumps in it.

Either Football Manager needs a complete overhaul or it should stop producing yearly sequels, because this year’s one is the most inconsequential yet.

7 / 10 - Steep
Dec 12, 2016

The best snowboarding game for a long time, with an excellent open world environment… and some very odd, and unnecessary, flaws.

7 / 10 - FIFA 17
Sep 26, 2016

The Journey is an almost unqualified success, but in terms of on-pitch action FIFA 17 is comfortably outclassed by PES 2017.

A microscopic improvement on Football Manager 2015, that is as addictive and engrossing as ever but seems to have run out of steam in terms of new ideas.

7 / 10 - FIFA 16
Sep 24, 2015

The worst FIFA game for over half a decade, and clearly inferior to PES 2016. And yet it's still not a bad game in itself, with some welcome new features.

A far less ambitious sequel than the last two years and most of the headline changes are negative, especially changing your manager into a role-playing character.

An excellent driving game but one sullied by cheapskate microtransactions. a lack of tracks, and the dubious worth of the Drivatar technology.

An improvement on the first map pack and not just because of the Predator, but Call Of Duty in general could really do with a change of scenery.
