If you’ve read my Star Wars Battlefront II Beta impression piece, you’ll know I was scathing in my opinion of the choices EA and DICE made with the use of micro transactions, progression, unlocks, loot boxes within the online portion of the game. I was far from the sole voice in expressing my disgust. Things […]
Video Game Review – Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES Edition
Andy Naylor reviews the Nintendo Classic Mini: SNES Edition… Last year’s NES Mini was a huge success. It gave us 30 somethings a little flashback back into our childhood and let us reminisce about the good old days and how much better gaming was in the 90s. But you know what, with the odd exception, […]
First Impressions – Star Wars Battlefront 2 Beta
Andy Naylor shares his impressions of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta… Star Wars Battlefront is fun and easy to play. It’s not the greatest game ever made, it’s not the most challenging game ever made and it most certainly has its faults. It felt rushed out and stripped down in order to be released […]
The Five Best Star Trek Episodes Ever!
Andy Naylor with his five best Star Trek episodes ever… After 12 years away from the small screen, Star Trek returns on Sunday 24th September with Star Trek: Discovery. While we have had the re-boot J.J.-verse in that time, with mixed success, sci-fi fans have been sorely missing one of the most popular shows to […]
Video Game Review – Madden 18
Andy Naylor reviews Madden 18… Madden 18, much like the FIFA series, is not exactly a new game every year, more a continual improvement with little tweaks. If you’re an American football fan then you know all about it. It’s good, very good in fact. For someone like me, who has always liked it but […]
Video Game Review – XCOM 2
Andy Naylor reviews XCOM 2… XCOM 2 is the successor to the impressive XCOM: Enemy Unknown (and XCOM: Enemy Within, which was essentially an expansion pack). Set 20 years after the original, Earth has since been conquered by the aliens, known as Elders, and the planet is run by a government of alien collaborators called […]
Batman v Superman isn’t a bad film
Andy Naylor comes to the defense of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice… Spoilers ahead, you’ve been warned. Okay, here’s a sentence that is going to cause some controversy. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is not that bad a film. Whoa, calm down. It really isn’t. I’m not saying it’s a fantastic movie, I’m […]
Video Game Review – The Escapists: The Walking Dead
Andy Naylor reviews The Escapists: The Walking Dead… By now everyone knows what The Escapists is about, (in case you don’t know) it’s a cutesy retro puzzle game with an addiction level that borders on worrying. The latest incarnation of it has team-ed (sorry) the game with the mammoth The Walking Dead TV franchise, so […]
Video Game Review – PES 2016
Andy Naylor reviews PES 2016… Last year’s PES [read our review here] was promising. It showed some footballing intuition, it felt better than any PS3/360 incarnation ever did. With this in mind, there was a trickle of excitement at how, in the following 12 months, Konami could tweak and improve upon the positive steps taken in PES […]
Video Game Review – Grand Theft Auto V (Next Gen)
Andy Naylor reviews Grand Theft Auto V… By now, everyone knows what to expect from Rockstar’s GTA franchise. Grand Theft Auto V was arguably the best to date, an epic, engaging story with a wealth of interesting characters jam-packed into an immersive story. What let it down was the generation of console it was released […]
