Amazon customer reviews of Skylanders SuperChargers on Wii – known as Skylanders SuperChargers Racing – have been spectacularly low so far. Currently it stands with a 2 star rating formed of 21 customer reviews. Last year’s Trap Team, in comparison, bares a much healthier 4 star rating. The main complaint is that it’s a racing …
A Telltale series involving the time-travelling antics of the ever likeable Marty McFly is an enticing proposition, many would admit. Before donning Marty’s curiously tasteful orange body warmer though it’s worth bearing in mind that this series harks back to 2010 – a time when Telltale was still perfecting their storytelling craft.

Is the yearly nature of Assassin’s Creed causing damage to the franchise beyond compare or is Syndicate’s single-player focus a step in the right direction? A bit of both, if reviews are to go by. General consensus has it that it’s a step in the right direction and the best AC in a long time, …
This Friday sees the return of one of the biggest franchises around – Assassin’s Creed. Wisely, Ubisoft has ditched multiplayer in favour of bringing Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s single-player mode back to the glory days of Assassin’s Creed II – often referred to as a defining moment in the series. Although we don’t doubt that it’ll …

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Destiny: The Taken King and LEGO Dimensions follow behind with GTA V moving up one position to fill #5.

When playing a game you usually feel something. With intention of penning a review I’ve been slogging away at the free-to-play Battle Islands since it stealth launched on Xbox One last Friday, and so far I’ve felt this: nothing. Well, a little more than nothing – emptiness and dismay. The last time I played something …
Two new Telltale games in one week? What madness is this? No madness here, squire – just Telltale exercising the right to exploit their back catalogue. There are two Just Dance games out next week though. Now that is madness. Telltale’s Minecraft: Story Mode and Back to the Future: The Game both launched on Wednesday. …
Ignoring the fact that Platinum Games’ staff probably resorted to sleeping in the office and putting in some serious overtime, Transformers: Devastation is proof of what a studio can achieve while on a tight schedule and what was likely to be a small budget too. We’d hazard a guess that it was more than the …
Here’s something we didn’t expect. The new Nintendo Selects 3DS range – consisting of classic (Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, Star Fox 64 3D, Mario Tennis Open) and not so classic (Nintendogs + Cats, Yoshi’s New Island, Mario Party: Island Tour) budget price re-releases are arriving in both physical and digital form this Friday.

I’ve become infatuated with LCD handhelds over the past couple of weeks. Not buying or playing, but simply looking through eBay listings and browsing the few sites dedicated to handheld collecting.

FIFA 16 is the UK’s number one for a third week running, putting it halfway to matching FIFA 15’s consecutive six week run. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection has to make do with #2, which is of course nothing to be ashamed off. Chart-Track reports that it’s the eighth fastest selling PS4 title of the …
There’s more than meets the eye to Activision’s latest Transformers game. What could have easily been a quick and cheap cash-in has turned out to be a recommended purchase for fans of Transformers and Platinum Games’ previous efforts alike. Transformers Devastation borrow a lot from Bayonetta and that’s not the only reason why it has …
Every Xbox 360 owner and their dog knows that if you want to give your Gamerscore a boost you have to force yourself to play terrible movie tie-ins, half-baked kid’s games and decade old sports sims. It would appear that easiest Xbox One games to rinse for achievements aren’t commonly known. As luck would have …
We haven’t seen a great amount of new Virtual Console releases lately. If this week’s UK eShop schedule is to go by, Nintendo has been busy stashing them away for a quiet spell. A quiet spell such as this week. This Thursday sees the release of two Wii U indie titles and six new arrivals …
