Sonic Forces – Review

The storyline in Sonic’s latest adventure could have easily existed within the Archie comic universe. After one of Eggman’s plans finally comes together, Sonic is taken captive and locked away in an off-world prison.

Road Rage – Review

Have you ever played a game so glitchy that you’re left in perpetual fear of it crashing? NPCs begin behaving oddly, collision detection goes to pot, and the frame rate takes a nosedive. All the while you’re hoping that the last auto-save was before your character gained the ability to walk through solid objects. After …

It’s the busiest time of year for the gaming scene, and as such, more gaps in the Switch’s library are being filled. This week the system receives its first big-name shooter, meaning we can tick that box off the list. Sorry, Rogue Trooper Redux. You’re now surplus to requirement. DOOM on Switch is pretty much …

While not a travesty of Sonic ’06 proportions, …

Assault Android Cactus – Review

The Nintendo Switch isn’t the only console prone to receiving belated conversions. Developer Witch Beam seemingly postponed the Xbox One version of this twin-stick shooter until the arrival of the Xbox One X. It’s an understandable decision, and not just because there’s an unspoken rule that every new console must launch with a snazzy twin-stick …
