Marvel’s Avengers Review – Geektastic Story, Dull Multiplayer
Beyond the horrible repetition and seemingly tacked-on multiplayer, Marvel’s Avengers genuinely features a golden single-player narrative. Kamala Khan is one of the best and most surprising additions to the game. Her highly relatable personality is exceptionally geeky, and pushes the campaign in wonderful, albeit cliched, directions. Character progression can be a bit tedious outside of single player, with a handful of missions, bosses, and enemies that tick the necessary boxes at first. Sadly, the very same aspects that work exceptionally well in single-player serve as nothing more than unnecessary effort and filler in multiplayer. At its core, Marvel’s Avengers has a serious identity crisis. It absolutely is worth picking up for any comic book fan to enjoy the super narrative, but ultimately has very little replay value for anyone who dislikes monotonous grinding.
WWE 2K Battlegrounds Review – Bottom of the Barrel
WWE 2K Battlegrounds is, ultimately, one of the worst games this side of the current console generation. While it has some cool-looking comic book cutscenes and a decent story, the campaign quickly devolves into a repetitive grind with no real end. The grind is so boring that players actively feel encouraged to spend real-world money just to get anywhere in the game. This is astonishing, to say the least, and extremely unacceptable. Multiplayer would make sense if played with friends, but after a little while, there is no feasible reason to continue playing. Wrestlers feel generic and unoriginal, except for the five overarching classes. Frankly, the game is not worth recommending, not even for the most hardcore of wrestling fans.

Mafia: Definitive Edition Review – Classic Mobster-piece
Mafia Definitive Edition is an all-round great package. It looks and sounds phenomenal. From expert motion capture and stellar performances by all cast involved, down to outstanding writing, it has the makings of an A-class title. Gameplay may be a bit wonky, but there is so much else that brings the game up to the standards of the likes of Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V - but perhaps not as broad in scope. Hangar 13 have done a fantastic job and made Mafia Definitive Edition a must-have for any fan of the period, setting or mobster plot.
Logitech G733 Lightspeed Review – Wirelessly Limited
The Logitech G733 Lightspeed is genuinely a trendy-looking headset. The colour options are nice-to-have and its headband plus head strap design, coupled with soft memory foam pads, make it exceptionally comfortable when resting. The most fundamental issue with the G733 Lightspeed lies with how shallow the cups are. My ears permanently connected with the inside of the cups, which resulted in immense discomfort after a few hours with it. The mic is admirable, but nothing to write home about, while the surround sound virtualisation is on-par with the best Logitech has to offer. Ultimately the Logitech G733 Lightspeed has enough to keep it from falling to the wayside, but no magic. It is wireless only, which limits the headset to PC, MacOS and PS4. It is the third headset featuring the Blue VO!CE technology, which is a nice plus. The challenge, however, is figuring out exactly who the headset is for? With a suggested retail price of $129, it is baffling to imagine it competing with the similarly priced and far superior Logitech G Pro X.
WRC 9 Review – Improved in all the right ways
WRC 9 is similar in many ways to WRC 8, but features just enough improvments to feel fresh and new, making it one of the better rally sims.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York Review
Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York is a Visual Novel which takes a step back from the flashiness of its predecessor, but still manages to stand on its own as a decent companion. It is perfect for anyone who wants more World of Darkness but may come off as a bit of a surprise to fans of gameplay-rich Visual Novels.

Ubisoft doesn’t care about Splinter Cell & Ubisoft Heroes proves it
Ubisoft's online storefront has featured collectibles figurines and statues for years, alongside other memorabilia based on popular Ubisoft licenses. A quick search on the Ubisoft Store will reveal collectibles for Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and more. This is a nice way for fans to spend some money... unless you are a Splinter Cell fan. For a while now, many gamers have grown bitter at the company's seeming lack of faith displayed toward the license. Now these feelings have come to a head with a brand-new set of figurines called the Ubisoft Heroes Collectible figurines.
Parkasaurus Review – Unexpectedly Great
Beyond a weird bug or two, Parkasaurus is a genuine treat to play. From a genuinely surprising number of management systems through to one of the silliest cartoon aesthetics ever seen in a park simulator, the game holds a wonderful amount of unexpected surprises belying its cutesy storefront presentation. In more ways than one, the game hearkens back to 90s classic cartoons like Dink, The Little Dinosaur. Overall, it is an amazing title with a lot of promise, and has the ability to eventually become one of the best park simulators available.
Burnout Paradise Remastered Review [Nintendo Switch]
Burnout Paradise Remastered for Nintendo Switch is a good port of a decade old game. Alas, the dated gameplay can serve to frustrate over long periods of play, and the inclusion of readily available DLC removes the necessity of "needing" to play. The end result is a port of a once great game that lives to see another day by serving as the best, albeit overpriced, 'pick up and play' arcade styled racer currently available on the Switch.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars Review – Nostalgic All-Star
The most pressing issue with the entire Super Mario 3D All-Stars bundle is the fact that Nintendo did very little to bring the games into the modern age. Both Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy ported over nicely, with Sunshine getting the most love from Nintendo in terms of functionality. The 16:9 aspect ratio is appreciated in Sunshine, which makes the older, almost-square aspect ratio for Super Mario 64 even more glaring. Fortunately, the Super Mario 3D All-Stars bundle nevertheless feels like modern games thanks to how well Nintendo has implemented platforming from the start. Super Mario 64 might be the most jarring inclusion in the bundle, but its iconic status warrants it being there. Super Mario Sunshine is a neat addition and its reworked aspect ratio makes the world of a difference. Super Mario Galaxy is by far the best game in the bundle, and also translates over to the Switch controls beautifully. All three games, however, load exceptionally fast and play well. There are no frame losses or weird glitches anywhere. Visually, they are all set apart, but some of the titles have aged better than others. Regardless of how they look, this is the best bundle any Super Mario fan can get.
