Taking Call of Duty beyond Earth and into space has proven to be a canvas of some of the very best storytelling in the history of the franchise. Infinite Warfare may have received a lot of hate when it was initially revealed, but this is easily one of my favourite entries in the franchise to date.
Admittedly it isn’t entirely perfect, I personally would have loved much more in depth career functions, such as not just being the driver, but actually being able to manage the team, and swap your team mates with other drivers from other teams. But, overall though, it’s an all-rounded fun game which any motorsport or F1 fanatic will enjoy.
DiRT Rally 2.0 brings out the best in rallying and continues to live up to the name. Whether you're experimenting with low horsepower front wheel drive cars, Group B legends or the modern R5 powerhouses - you're always going to be on your toes and finding the threshold between speed and control.
I had an incredibly fun time smashing other cars in Dangerous Driving, and I feel that you should experience it too! This is definitely a game I would recommend to anyone looking to play something different in the racing game world. If you’re sick and tired of boring realistic racing games, go ahead and try this out!
WRC 6 is a massive step up from its predecessor, and I really enjoyed the game and will continue to play it over the coming months. The game does have its flaws in terms of graphics and the occasional lazy pace notes, but these do not out-weigh the enjoyment you get from playing it.
Forza Motorsport 7 is a brilliant update on Forza Motorsport 6's racing experience, providing some of the most fun on-track action ever in a videogame.
Need for Speed Payback is the perfect game to get into if you've been missing the old Need for Speed.
Overall an amazing game, Project Cars 2 incorporates almost everything a sim racer could ask for, aside from the lack of car customization which is its Achilles heel.
If you look at sales figures for The Crew 2 recently, you would've noticed that it hasn't been performing particularly well considering the amount of money that went into PR, advertisements and sponsorships.
Not the sort of game you'd come back to once the season ends, but it's good fun and I much prefer it over watching the episode by itself.
RIDE was a brave step-forward for Milestone and while the game greatly delivers on content, it has a variety of issues from bugs to crazy-long loading times.
F1 2015 delivers on its promise of a hard-core simulation F1 experience by including both the F1 2014 and 2015 seasons, along with a great selection of tracks, impressive graphics and the ability to race for whichever F1 team you wish.
Star Wars Battlefront is a fun experience – with a solid progression system and a variety of game modes (some better than the others.) There's not much content, but it's still a game that will keep you drawn in long enough to unlock some of Battlefront's better equipment that makes map traversal much easier. It's a tough nut to crack, and forgiving some of the obvious flaws it has, I think I'll be playing Battlefront for a while.
Need for Speed features a great line-up of cars, backed by the most authentic customization in the history of the franchise. The 'Five Ways to Play' and icons entice you to change up your style as you progress through Ventura Bay. While some issues might be frustrating, such as garage-space, no daytime and frame-rate drops; Ghost Games will hopefully continue to update and enhance Need for Speed in the months to come.
LEGO Marvel's Avengers allows fans of the film franchise to relive exciting moments throughout the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, across a number of movies like Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, Captain America, Thor: The Dark World, and others.
I wouldn't recommend Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition to those who already completed the game back in 2012, much like I didn't recommend Dishonored: Definitive Edition to players of the same nature, but it's a great venture to embark on if you haven't already played the last-gen versions.
While The Crew always had a solid and ambitious concept, Wild Run brings it to life with updated next-generation graphics, new vehicle specs for drift, dragsters and monster trucks, and even the introduction of motorcycles. While the handling and physics still remains an issue, it shouldn't prevent you from having fun when playing.
The Crew: Calling All Units is good for anybody looking to spice up the standard or Wild Run edition of The Crew as they await its sequel coming in 2018, but it's not a necessity.
I doubt anyone asked for the Hot Wheels Expansion, but at the same time, this is the expansion we always wanted to have in Forza. Whilst the execution should've been handled differently, I can't deny how much fun I've had with the Hot Wheels Expansion when playing online with friends.
Codemasters always nail it with the car elements, like audio, handling, and environments. However, I believe Grid still lacks in the multiplayer, customization, and social aspects of the game. Do you believe jumping down San Francisco in GT3 cars is realistic? No. Is It fun? Hell yes! I’ve been waiting for Grid’s return for a number of years now, and It’s safe to say I’m loving it. Thanks to Codemasters for reviving one of my childhood series, I can’t wait to see what DLC’s and content comes to Grid throughout the years to come!
