Mick Fraser's Reviews

I'm currently the Tips & Guides Editor at GodisaGeek.com but I've been at the site for almost four years. I've reviewed around 150 games in that time, and edited many, many others. I love games and gaming, and really dislike negativity. This industry is meant to be about fun, right? Quick facts: I'm married with four children, I don't like sweetcorn, I have no hair but all my own teeth.
8 / 10.0 - CounterSpy
Aug 22, 2014

Arguably a better fit for the Vita than the larger consoles, the cross-save function negates any need for favouritism and allows you to continue your fight against tyranny wherever you are. Humorous and well-designed, Counterspy is certainly worth investigating if you like your espionage in short, fast-paced chunks.

8 / 10.0 - Metro Redux
Aug 25, 2014

Even if you played the original releases, Metro Redux is still an attractive proposition. The improvements to 2033 are substantial, while the more minor tweaks to Last Light simply refine a fantastic experience. In one package, these games together offer a huge amount of gameplay and one of the most arresting game-worlds you'll ever see in a shooter. If, on the other hand, you've never delved into Glukhovsky's subterranean nightmare, Redux is more than worth the asking price.

8 / 10.0 - Destiny
Sep 16, 2014

But it's not that game right now. Destiny is a confident, solid, sometimes stunningly beautiful shooter with RPG mechanics that add longevity and depth, and the beginnings of what could be an incredible online universe. But it feels like the tip of the glacier, and I'm not sure it's a good thing to be more excited about what a game might one day be, than what it actually is.

Although CastleStorm seemed right at home on the Vita, it fits the PS4 very well, too. The bright visuals pop and sing thanks to the increased power and the game runs as smooth as butter at all times. Addictive and entertaining, CastleStorm's mix of fairytale whimsy and challenging strategy – as well as its mishmash of play styles – makes it a solid and enticing prospect whatever the platform.

6 / 10.0 - Natural Doctrine
Oct 5, 2014

Hardcore strategy RPG fans may find a decent experience here. In fact, it may simply be the case that Natural Doctrine's blend of punishing difficulty and simple presentation don't gel with everyone. One thing that is certain is that Natural Doctrine us not designed for the casual crowd, and unless you're prepared to invest time and energy into learning its systems inside out – and then are still prepared to try and try again when you do know what you're doing – you'd be advised to away from this one.

Dark, compelling, and occasionally unflinchingly brutal, Shadow of Mordor is Lord of the Rings for grown-ups. It's not just a good game based on an established franchise, but a fantastic game in its own right and one that deserves to be judged purely by its own merits, and not by what has come before.

Definitive Edition is not quite an essential purchase – especially if you already played and finished the original release – but it's definitely worth picking up if you're hankering after the kind of open world criminal action that doesn't take itself too seriously.

A challenging, well-designed stealth game only let down by irritating combat and a lack of visual flair.

4 / 10.0 - Fluster Cluck
Oct 22, 2014

An unambitious party game that can't quite live up to the potential of its unusual premise

7.5 / 10.0 - Lords of the Fallen
Oct 27, 2014

A new IP from Deck 13 and City Interactive that doesn't hold your hand, but won't slap it for failure either.

It's still fun and unique, but for a definitive edition, it's still lacking polished.

A solid, old-school RPG that loses its way occasionally, but still delivers a vast, engaging adventure - and a compelling reason to return to Thedas.

8.5 / 10.0 - Terraria

A charming little sandbox adventure that you make yourself.

10 / 10.0 - Grand Theft Auto V
Nov 16, 2014

This enhanced edition of Grand Theft Auto V seems determined to make you forget it was ever last gen - and it will probably succeed, too.

An improvement on The Guardian of Light but no revolution, The Temple of Osiris is another solid adventure worthy of the illustrious Croft name.

A disappointing add-on to a game already losing its lustre. House of Wolves needs to be better than this, or Bungie may find themselves in trouble.

7.5 / 10.0 - Dying Light
Feb 2, 2015

Dying Light keeps the best bits of Dead Island, forgets to get rid of the bad, but makes up for it with awesome parkour and a tense day/night dynamic.

8 / 10.0 - Evolve
Feb 13, 2015

Like Left 4 Dead before it, Evolve is a game that feels slightly under-nourished at times, but which takes the crummy old co-op FPS wheel and totally re-invents it.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Order: 1886
Feb 19, 2015

A stunning action game that relies on story and performance over padding and tacked-on game modes, The Order: 1886 will nonetheless divide gamers with its short run time and reliance on cinematic dazzle.

A more robust offering than last time, and a more essential addition this time around, The Bright Lord is a solid way to top off Shadow of Mordor's Season Pass.
