Gaming

As a racing simulator enthusiast, I find a game like 'Burnout Paradise' is the complete antithesis of what I typically enjoy. The focus of 'Burnout' is to do massive drifts, jumps and smash your opponents into oblivion.

Ever fancied being a pirate? Sailing the seven seas looting and pillaging as you go? Here’s your chance.

There are really no major problems with 'Gravel', the latest offering in the seemingly endless off-road arcade racing genre.

US President Donald Trump met with the makers of popular video games 'Grand Theft Auto' and 'Doom' to discuss what the president believes is a link between video games and violent acts.

So it is with UFC 3. I don’t particularly like mixed martial arts — give me straight old boxing any day — but I have had a bit of fun with the latest game based on the sport’s signature competition.

A buzzword for video game reviewers — and, let’s face it, I have probably used this word in 90% of my reviews over the past two decades — is ‘‘immersive’’.

Reuben Henderson spent his summer reviewing nindies (Nintendo indies) to see if the Switch lived up to its promise as the indie console to own. This week he reviewed 'Deer God', 'Thimbleweed Park' and 'Night in the Woods'.

Lately there’s been a rush of games being remastered and rushed out the door. Shadow of the Colossus is not one of these — it’s a title lovingly rebuilt from the ground up.

After almost a year on the market, the Nintendo online store is a menagerie of fine indie gems. While others soaked up the sun, Reuben Henderson spent his summer reviewing nindies (Nintendo indies).

An amazing year in gaming? Or just a little bit meh? Hayden Meikle and Simon Bishop hand out their awards for 2017.

The Assassins Creed franchise is one of the poster boys of the term franchise fatigue; where annual releases for a franchise drive it into the ground. Before Assassins Creed Origins there was a bit of a gap and it benefits from it.

We live in a time when games are largely inoffensive and try to blend into the background to a degree. I guess someone forgot to tell the folks at Ubisoft and South Park Digital Studios.

Fantastic beasts, wizard adventures and magic spells will come to life in a new 'Harry Potter' augmented reality mobile game from Pokemon Go developer Niantic Inc.

It's one of the biggest names in the world of PlayStation and so any release with Gran Turismo in its title holds a certain level of expectation and hype. GT Sport is a rare entry into the series that doesn’t match up to those two things.

From the moment it was announced, 'Cuphead' caught the eye of the gaming world. A game with graphics and styling reminiscent of old-style cartoons, the ones many of the more mature gamers among us grew up with.

My relationship with the Dishonored series has always been one of love/ hate. I love the aesthetic they go for, semi cel shaded but also very detailed and I love the atmosphere and the story aspects.

I make little secret of the fact that racing games are my bread and butter; my one, my everything. So to say I was eagerly anticipating the release of Project CARS 2 is an understatement.

One sport, two games. Hayden Meikle does a quick comparison between NBA 2K18 and NBA Live 18.
