Dark Souls 3 Review
The Dark Souls franchise is a punishing one. Through burning chasms, ruined cities, and corroded forests, some are immediately gripped. Others, however, have not relished this brutal experience – and Dark Souls 3, FromSoftware’s latest addition to the series, is no different. In fact, this new instalment feels exactly like that: an addition to an established […]
Review: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Siege
The core gameplay of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege is truly, properly excellent.

Review: Halo 5: Guardians
Since its first tease at E3 2013, the metaphorical river of superlatives used to describe the latest instalment in Microsoft’s Halo franchise hasn’t stopped flowing. Seattle-based developer 343 Industries has told fans that Halo 5: Guardians would be the biggest, most expansive, most epic Halo yet, in terms of both story and scale. A new […]

It’s about as inevitable as yet another rainy British summertime, but Assassin’s Creed has, once again, returned to our monitors.
