Call of Duty: Black Ops III PlayStation 4 review
It’s not too unfair to say that the Call of Duty franchise has now mutated so far from its initial premise, that, perhaps, the games should no longer be branded as such. Trayarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 pretty much confirms it, the game’s clandestine sci-fi setting being a far cry from the Second World War escapades that started in all. Continue reading Call of Duty: Black Ops III PlayStation 4 review

Beyond: Two Souls PlayStation 4 review
The remastering trend continues with Quantic Dreams’ 2013 PlayStation 3 exclusive adventure game, Beyond: Two Souls, getting a new-gen makeover for the PlayStation 4.
David Cage’s supernatural follow-up to his 2010 PlayStation 3 game/interactive movie Heavy Rain really cemented my opinion of the French developer as being a frustrated film-maker. Heavy on the plot, but light on the gameplay, is the hallmark of a Quantic Dreams game. Continue reading Beyond: Two Souls PlayStation 4 review
