Size Matters – Review

This is it, my friends. Definitive proof that, despite what many of my partners have tried to reassure me, size really does matter. At least it certainly does when you’re a rapidly shrinking scientist doing your best to concoct a cure! Brought to us by the developers at Mazen Games,

Project Cars 3 – Review

Project Cars 3 is a racing simulator developed by Slightly Mad Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Another year, another installment. Like so many sports gaming franchises, we see yet another edition to MotoGP developed and published by the talented team at Milestone SLR. I was the chosen one who got to experience MotoGP 19. It’s been almost a year and my taste in games hasn’t changed,

Race With Ryan – Review

I would like to firstly illiterate, this is very much a kid’s game, and while I wasn’t stoked to review it, I will look at it through that lense because I can’t imagine any grown arse adult wanting to own this. ‘Race with Ryan’ is just like the title suggests,

I think it’s fair to say that the past couple of Need for Speed games haven’t really felt like they’ve lived up to the older games in the franchise. Personally, I loved the days of Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon, so when EA announced Heat, my eyes lit up and

MotoGP 19 – Review

I’ve never really been much of a Motorsport fan as I’ve never really understood the fascination of watching V8’s, F1’s or even Super trucks go around the same track time and time again. But hey, if that’s what tickles your fancy, I’m not one to judge. That said, I don’t

F1 2019 – Review

First and foremost, I need to give a bit of a disclaimer. This review is going to look very similar to one I have done in the past, and there is a reason for that. A lot of sports based games that are released yearly don’t really seem to offer
