South Park: The Fractured but Whole PS4 review
For the second South Park game Ubisoft switches developer from veteran adventure game outfit, Obsidian, to an in-house team calling on the publisher’s studios dotted around the globe.
If ever there’s was a cartoon series befitting a video game it is South Park. The retro animation has a charm that translates perfectly.

Doom VFR PlayStation VR review
Like it’s stable-mate, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the 2016 Doom reboot is gaining a reputation of being ported to every available game platform. Nintendo’s Switch recently joined the PC, PS4 and Xbox One in having a version of the game.

The horror continues in The Evil Within 2
The Evil Within 2 invites players, once again, to sample Bethesda’s brand of survival horror.
2014’s The Evil Within Introduced us to Krimson City police detective Sebastian Castellanos, and a game very much inspired by Resident Evil. Of course, with Resident Evil 7, the classic horror series was rebooted, to great acclaim, for a modern audience.
Taking on board the criticism of the first game, and likely noticing RE7’s success, developers Tango Gameworks have tweaked The Evil Within 2’s gameplay. They have built on the first game to create something a lot more accessible. Continue reading The horror continues in The Evil Within 2
