  • Axiom Verge 2 Review

    What is immediately noticeable about Axiom Verge 2 is that it breaks from the traditional Metroidvania mould by…actually having colour. Instead of the dark, brooding, claustrophobic settings often associated with the genre (and the first Axiom Verge for that matter), Axiom Verge 2 takes place in an open-air alternate...
  • The Future of Rocket League

    Rocket League has been a huge success for developer Psyonix. Since launching 5 years ago (as of next week), in July 2015, it’s changed a great deal. There have been experiments with arena designs, game modes, items and battle-cars; some of which were successful and others not so much....
  • Ranking the Gears of War Games

    12 months ago, I’d never played a Gears of War game, but now I’m in love with the series. On the surface it’s a franchise of preposterously-proportioned soldiers and constant brutal violence, and yeah, that is Gears of War. But it’s also more than that. It’s an epic narrative,...
  • The Agony Of 1v1 in Rocket League

    We chat about a lot in this episode, too much to explain here. Ben and Aadil kick off the episode and Lucy joins the fray about an hour in. There’s also a little appearance from a birthday girl. Whilst it’s just Aadil and Ben they drink Cloudwater’s IPA dedicated...
  • Tanked Up 103 – The Dark Side of Gaming

    This week features all three of us, huzzah! But we chat the darker side of gaming from Epic Games closing down Paragon after only 2 years to the arcade mode in Star Wars Battlefront 2 being tied to the mulitplayer for progression which has been designed around loot boxes...
  • PUBG on Xbox One or PS4, who knows!

    Sony and Microsoft have got themselves into a pissing match, again. This time over Bluehole’s Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). At E3 2017 Microsoft made the big claim of having PUBG on Xbox One as a console launch exclusive, which Microsoft is publishing for the console. Yet more recently rumours have...
  • Out of Lives Top 7 – Xbox 360 Exclusives

    Welcome OOL-igans to the first official ‘Out of Lives Top 7’. So where do we start such a journey? Well for us it had to begin with the Xbox 360. If you haven’t heard the news, the console that arguably “won” the seventh generation was discontinued recently and that left us all...
