7 / 10 - Dead Rising 4
Dec 12, 2016

Frank's a likeable protagonist - witty, gruff, and we suspect he has a heart of gold to go with the elixir of eternal life he's clearly been sampling. And, to be frank, Frank deserves a little more polish and a lot more jeopardy than Capcom Vancouver has delivered with Dead Rising 4. Slaying zombies with a variety of ridiculous weapons is as fun as ever, but we hoped for more.

Expect perfect gameplay that’s as wonderful as you remember, let down by lazy and unnecessary remastering. And part of us thinks that the Clown Prince of Crime is behind it all, because the last laugh is on you. You may don the cowl and cape, but don’t expect to see Arkham in a different light.

Jul 20, 2016

An intelligent, thoughtful, lengthy and rewarding puzzle challenge.

7 / 10 - Overcooked
Aug 2, 2016

A charming couch co-op that's surprisingly challenging in later levels. Best played with friends.

If Battleship is your thing, then this is as pure as it gets.

A solid adaptation of the classic board game, but it won’t win any medals.

A surreal love letter to detectives and David Lynch.

7 / 10 - Clustertruck
Oct 28, 2016

ClusterTruck isn't a complicated game. The formula has been around since games began: avoid obstacles and reach the goal. The interpretation that ClusterTruck delivers is interesting and fun to play, but can be quite short lived.

A fun, and mostly funny, old-school RPG fantasy fans will love.

7 / 10 - WRC 6
Oct 14, 2016

This is the best officially licensed WRC game in years, with plenty to offer the rally fan.

7 / 10 - Earth's Dawn
Nov 14, 2016

Whilst there's a lot of enjoyment to be found from carving the aliens into tiny pieces, the campaign offers nothing of real consequence. Earth's Dawn feels like a game that could have been improved using permadeath or more significant time management implementation. Instead, we've got a fun, if disposable beat ‘em up.

Clouds and Sheep 2 makes a decent transition to the big screen, but its mechanics expose its mobile heritage. That being said, it's packed full of humour and charm, and there's nothing disagreeable to be found within. And, in this world of guns, gore and death, Clouds and Sheep 2 offers a delightful kid-friendly experience that every family member can enjoy.

The puzzles are fiendishly tricky, the writing is witty, and once you get to grips with the not-particularly-slick controls, you may even love it. But we just keep coming back to that tragic voice acting. We can’t see past it. We can’t hear anything other than the stiff delivery. And it ruins the immersion of a game we desperately wanted to enjoy.

Nostalgia only carries this bundle so far. Whilst these are enjoyable games, they're showing an age befitting their 10 year anniversary.

6 / 10 - Lastfight
Nov 18, 2016

Xbox has been crying out for a Power Stone type of fighting game, so it’s good to see LASTFIGHT filling that particular niche, but the game has a void of its own when it comes to content. Hopefully, that will be addressed by the developer Piranaking, but currently that does devalue LASTFIGHT in comparison to other fighting games on the market. Still, you do get a satisfying brawler that truly comes into its element at a party or with friends and family.

God games can be terribly complex but Reus sweeps away those barriers to offer a bright and engaging experience. The more you play it, though, the more the design limitations make you feel less like a God, and more like a bureaucrat. Nevertheless, Reus is unique and quirky, and we love it all the more for that.

5 / 10 - Uno
Aug 19, 2016

A fun and fast-paced card game is let down by limited online social interactivity.

Cast of the Seven Godsends - Redux suffers from random difficulty spikes, poor controls, and inelegant implementation of a number of baffling design decisions, rendering it defenceless against the classics of the genre.
