DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition PlayStation 4 review

Yet another last-gen game gets a scrubbed-up new-gen re-release. This time it’s the turn of Capcom’s DmC: Devil May Cry.

Since 2001 we have been following the button-mashing adventures of Dante, a brash young man with a shock of white hair, and a thing about outlandish weapons, on a mission to avenge the death of his mother.

Four games and an anime series later and publishers, Capcom, decided to take the cult character in a new direction for the fifth outing handing development duties over to Brit outfit, Ninja Theory. Continue reading DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition PlayStation 4 review

Dragon Age: Inquisition Jaws of Hakkon DLC PC review

EA Games and Bioware have given me just the excuse that I needed to return to their beautiful fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game is, without a doubt, my favourite of 2014 and to be honest I’ve not played a better game since.

Jaws of Hakkon is the game’s first premium DLC pack adding a new story arc set within a new area to the south of Feralden called the Frostback Basin. Continue reading Dragon Age: Inquisition Jaws of Hakkon DLC PC review

Borderlands: The Hansome Collection PS4 review

Borderlands: The Hansome Collection further swells the unnervingly large catalogue of last-gen games that have been remastered for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

For this bumper package, publisher’s 2K Games have included two polished up games- 2012’s Borderlands 2 and last year’s Australian developed Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Continue reading Borderlands: The Hansome Collection PS4 review

Netflix in Oz

So I’ve been playing with the Australian Netflix for a week now.

And it’s good.

I’ve checked out a few movies, watched the Netflix exclusive Bloodlines and a few episodes of The Returned- another Netflix show. Flicking through all the content available is a bit overwhelming, but I’m starting to spend less and less time search for stuff and more time just watching.

Netflix is absolutely perfect for me. Continue reading Netflix in Oz

Why you need to play Techland’s Dying Light

I was more than a little anxious as I placed Techland’s new zombie game, Dying Light, in my PlayStation 4. I’d been following its extended development for nearly two years and, whilst I liked the idea, what I’d seen in my early previews didn’t inspire much confidence in me. Suffering delay after delay, it seemed that Dying Light was causing the veteran Polish developer a bit of a headache. Continue reading Why you need to play Techland’s Dying Light

Battlefield Hardline PC review

What happens when you take an established franchise and throw the rulebook out the window? Well, you get something akin to Visceral Studios’ Battlefield Hardline. Taking over the stewardship of this particular entry from the franchise founders DICE, the Dead Space developer has taken Battlefield in a totally different direction.

You could argue that DICE, themselves, have already done this with their more narrative-focused Battlefield Bad Company games- but you’d be wrong. Bad Company still had soldiers and still had tanks. Hardline swaps all that cool military stuff out and replaces it all with the hard boiled world of cops and criminals. Continue reading Battlefield Hardline PC review
