Red Dead Redemption II: Review

 Steven Kellow    Video Games  ,

Every Rockstar Games title aims to be a masterpiece, and almost every one does achieve that status.  Red Dead Redemption II is no different, offering what could be this console generation’s defining title and yet another expansive and detailed reimagining of the old Wild West. Following up on Red Dead from 2010 was always going to be a tough task, and as that’s one of my favourite games of all time I knew that all too well, but they’ve done a sterling job that surpasses — Read more →

Mass Effect: Andromeda – Review

 Steven Kellow    Video Games  ,

Mass Effect: Andromeda marks the first entry in the series in five years, and the start of a new trilogy that breaks away from the original and forges its own path, in another galaxy no less.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Multiplayer Review

Perhaps modern gaming’s most established franchise, Call of Duty has come under increased scrutiny in recent years as its blockbuster reputation has been hampered by gamers’ understandable concerns that while the series churns out new titles every year, with the first Tuesday in November almost becoming Call of Duty day, the franchise formula changes very little. Advanced Warfare does change things up in the biggest way since Modern Warfare 2, with developer Sledgehammer Games making their solo debut with the franchise. The new exo-suit gives — Read more →

Titanfall: Review

 Steven Kellow    Video Games  

Truly new first-person shooters don’t come around too often, especially from well-known and esteemed development teams, so expectations for Titanfall were sky-high.  What they’ve produced is one of the best new IP to come out for years, but one that doesn’t quite shake the Earth completely either. The premise of Titanfall is rather simple, but the game does a good job of giving things a bit of depth.  In a world far away, two factions: the IMC and the Militia are squaring off against each — Read more →
