Darren Edwards

I have been playing games since a very early age, thanks to my Dad's encouragement. I've been an Xbox gamer since the very beginning, the Master Chief is to thank for that. I'm also a big Nintendo geek, and my other half is a PlayStation nut. I'll play pretty much anything in any genre (although FIFA and COD maybe pushing it).

Adore Review

Adore is simple by design but this means enjoyment is spread more thinly the longer you play.

Two Point Campus: Medical School Review

Two Point Campus: Medical School continues its excellent run, this time taking us back to where it all began which despite potential risks, pays off handsomely. 

Broforce Forever Review

You can slice, shoot and smash your way through enemies to your heart’s content in Broforce Forever, in an over the top romp that does just about enough to avoid weariness setting in

Stray Review

Stray is a masterclass in escapism gaming. Taking a rather unusual perspective doesn’t stop this being a joyous experience from start to finish, irrespective of whether you are a cat person or not.

Why You Should Be (Cautiously) Excited for Crash Team Rumble

Crash Bandicoot has seen something of a resurrection over the past few years. Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled signalled that the demand for nostalgia wasn’t limited to just the main series of games alone. Of course, when Crash Team Rumble was announced, comparisons to fan favourite Crash Bash were inevitable.

Two Point Campus: Space Academy Review

Two Point Campus: Space Academy adds plenty of fresh content which seamlessly expands an already brilliant game. It shows that the sky really is the limit for the strategy classic.

Resident Evil 4 Review

Small technicalities aside, Resident Evil 4 on Xbox Series X|S is a wonderfully recreated thrill ride from start to finish.

Eville Review

Eville is built on solid foundations, having a good stab at bringing the social deduction genre to the masses, but it lacks the components to achieve longevity in a crowded and competitive space.

Looking Back to 2003 with The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker differed in numerous ways to its predecessors. But what resulted was no less (perhaps even more) of an engrossing, deep and magical adventure which holds a special place in my heart.

Prison Tycoon: Under New Management Review

To borrow a quote from the excellent Peep Show, after a few hours I wanted to break out of the prison that Prison Tycoon: Under New Management had become for me.

Looking Back to 2013 and when Gears of War: Judgment Tried Something Different

Gears of War: Judgment should be applauded for trying something different.

Why You Should Be Excited for Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 is up there with the best games of all time, so revisiting the adventure seems very risky indeed.

Atomic Heart Review

Atomic Heart may not feel wholly original, but you can’t deny the craftsmanship that has gone into building an immersive, vibrant world.

Looking Back to 2013 and the Tomb Raider Reboot

In 2013, the reboot of Tomb Raider got so much right. 

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Review

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition brings a true classic back for a new generation. Whether you are a die hard strategy fan or first time invader, there is no better place to start.

Godlike Burger Review

Godlike Burger feels like a half-baked idea, and you aren’t given nearly enough reasons to want to see all it has to offer.

Trash Sailors Review

Trash Sailors is a fundamentally flawed experience which isn’t totally sunk but will have you questioning when you can get back on dry land. 

Shoulders of Giants Review

Shoulders of Giants is something of a grind, both in terms of gameplay and structure.

Fueled Up Review

Fueled Up may not be the most comprehensive experience, but on the whole it’s a great little co-op game that’s accessible to all.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts – Film Review

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is definitely a better movie than the original non-Energon Transformers saga, but also a less exciting one.

Embraced by Autumn Review

The intro promises some future dramatic, potentially even salacious turns, but not one of the four different stories delivers. It’s all too tentative. In the end, Embraced by Autumn could have done with just a little more confidence and sass.

Immortals of Aveum Review

Immortals of Aveum should be praised for its original concept, writing, and new world-building. It's a new franchise that is brave.

XEL Review

For the good - the visuals, audio, navigation of paths and occasional combat moments - there are tens of things in XEL that will hold you back.

The Isle Tide Hotel Review

If you're an FMV fan then you're going to enjoy a lot of what The Isle Tide Hotel has to offer. But just remember - don’t ever leave your room at night.
