The Predator is faced with a problem from the start. How do you reboot a franchise without alienating either the fans of the original and a new audience who see the original film as nothing but 80s shtick?

Big Bash Boom PS4 review
From the moment you hit play, you know that Big Bash Boom isn’t your usual cricket game.
As in real life, cricket video games tend to be rather reserved affairs. The action is there, but the gentlemanly atmosphere can be a bit muted for gamers used to something a little more…dynamic. Continue reading Big Bash Boom PS4 review

Fallout 76 PC review
Fallout 76 takes the popular post-apocalyptic role-playing game series and places it in an online world.
Like their Elder Scrolls series, Bethesda’s Fallout games carry the hallmark of quality single-player narrative adventures. The player is the hero, the game world revolves around and exists only to service the player’s story. Continue reading Fallout 76 PC review
Hands-on review: Tile Mate and Tile Pro Bluetooth trackers
Losing your phone and keys is a thing of the past thanks to the folks at Tile.
One phrase that fills me with dread is when my wife says,” Have you seen my keys?”. What follows is usually a frantic joint effort checking pockets, down the sides of the sofa and in toy boxes (we have a two-year-old). We’ve never had keys lost for good (touch wood), but it’s come close. Continue reading Hands-on review: Tile Mate and Tile Pro Bluetooth trackers
Hitman 2 PC review
IO Interactive’s sudden departure from Square Enix, taking their Hitman franchise with them, was a surprise. Whilst the episodic nature of the game wasn’t to everybody’s taste, 2016’s Hitman was a solid entry into the veteran stealth series.
Hitman 2 is effectively the second season. In fact, all the episodes of Hitman Season One are available as a DLC pack (which is, if you haven’t already played them, an essential purchase). Continue reading Hitman 2 PC review
