Stevivor	"Is this a full release, or should it be a third of the price? Far Cry fans, allow me to ease the ambiguity and confirm Primal is more than lavish remix. However, it lacks the innovation and evolution that’s to be expected of Far Cry 5, comfortably slotting in somewhere in-between as a typical spin-off."	75/100
GB	Primal carries over all the adventuring and battling of previous Far Cry games, but emphasizes on a genre rarely touched in gaming.	80/100
Gamereactor	"Looking objectively at Far Cry Primal as an isolated product, it is impossible to deny that it is indeed quite good, but it is not a completely isolated game. The fact that so much content from Far Cry 3 and 4 is recycled means that there may be players who find it overly familiar, and that is the biggest problem we had with Primal. The lack of any multiplayer option will also disappoint some, but Far Cry has always been mainly a solo experience. In short, if you still think you have more Far Cry in you, and if you appreciate the survival theme of the Stone Age, Primal is a safe bet.."	80/100
God is a Geek	In the tall grass, I’m stalking the Udam as they escort a captured member of my tribe through this forested area. I’m definitely capable of taking them down; I have more arrows than I need because all I have to do is make sure the one that’s readied goes straight through his skull – it’s simple. Well, it’s simple right up until the point where a very cross jungle cat takes exception to my presence and attacks me, alerting the rival tribesman and a nearby bear to my location. Luckily, I dispose of the jaguar with a few flaming arrows and a couple of blows to the head with my club, while the bear has some Udam for lunch.	85/100
Attack of the Fanboy	The first person shooter genre has seen a large shift in focus to modern or futuristic style games over the last few years, mostly leaving the past behind.	80/100

TheSixthAxis	For a game that’s set some ten thousand years before its modern counterparts, Far Cry Primal feels incredibly familiar. In the coming days you’ll no doubt see words like “reskin” and “mod” being flung around as commentators look to sum up Primal in as few reductive syllables as possible, but even though it has a lot of common ground with other games in the series, Ubisoft Montreal has managed to create something that feels surprisingly substantive, even if it isn’t entirely refreshing.	70/100
Destructoid	Diamonds played a pivotal role in the story of Far Cry 2. In a war-torn African state on the brink of collapse, these jewels were prized items of great importance. They could be used to broker a false peace between two warring factions, allowing the warlords to continue their senseless bloodshed without interference from the outside world. Or they could offer someone a chance to escape that hellhole, providing a valuable asset to bribe border agents for safe passage.	70/100
HardCoreGamer	The Far Cry franchise has never been afraid of change. Far Cry 2 aimed to be more realistic then the original, Far Cry 3 focused heavily on its story and villains, and Far Cry 4 took the setting out of lush jungles and into the frozen mountains. Far Cry Primal, however, easily takes the cake for biggest change to the franchise yet. Taking players back to 10,000 BCE, Primal ditches its guns, explosives and cars for bows, spears and wild animals. Is Primal a step forward for Far Cry, or is this an extinction event?	80/100
GamesRadar	Far Cry returns, but trades in its modern day mountains for a prehistoric setting. But can its tribal foes and mystical creatures match up to the guns and honeybadgers we know and love?	60/100

Friday the 13th: The Game

Developer: Gun Media

Crystal Lake is now a semiopen- world location. Let the hunt begin.

What it is: the logical endpoint of the age-old horror watcher’s screams of, “Why aren’t you just running away?!” now you get to control the bong-huffer/stink-nerd/bikini girl/ muscle jock of slasher cliché, and run to your palpitating, soon-to-bee viscerated heart’s content. unless, that is, you’re in control of grotesque mummy’s boy himself Jason Voorhees. the premise is simple – it’s one Jason vs seven camp counselors. Voorhees has to stalk and dispatch the teens in any number of movie appropriate ways (slapping them against trees, say, like screaming fish), while the teens can either find means of escape alone, or work together to take Jason down. it’s a multiplayer deathmatch that just happens to use classic movie moments as mechanics.

Big Because? this isn’t just a game – it wants to be a worthy follow-up to the films. the game was originally a horror homage, Slasher vol 1: Summer camp, but when Jason creator Sean Cunningham saw the pitch, he offered something a little better. “We were fooling around with what started out as a Friday the 13th website,” says cunningham in an interview on the game’s kickstarter page, “and we said, ‘We’ve gotta have a game!’ it had all this stuff we wanted to use, and it took the experience to this new, big, ballsy level.” Summer Camp had already attracted tom Savini, harry manfredini and Kane Hodder – Friday the 13th effects artist, composer and Jason actor respectively – and Cunningham’s involvement on top of that elevates the game to something beyond a licensed tie-in. the aim is for it to feel like a new Friday the 13th film is being made every time you play – right down to ‘trailers’ – of  highlights being made in classic ’80s style at the end of every round.

If you want Legend of Grimrock, but with better combat (much more tactical) and less annoying puzzles, this is the game for you.

Rating: 70/100                                 
It's a pretty solid dungeon crawler, and it's well thought out to capture a large audience. Beginners in the genre, such as myself, will find an extensive tutorial and pick a easy level of difficulty, allowing them to get going without frustration, while seasoned players can skip the tutorial and choose a much harder level (there are 6 level of difficulty if I remember correctly).

Of course you'll find most of the genre's commonplaces right there as you expect them - from the visual style to the types of objects, the gameplay mechanics, etc. This has caused some people to blame the lack of originality, but at the same time, had the game departed too much from these standards, people would have complained about it (or simply been turned away) as well. So I think the developer made the right choices.

All in all, a solid recommendation if you're attracted to dungeon crawlers, whether or not you're skillful at them.


Rating: 80/100                                                        
Very nice combat focussed dungeon crawler. Nothing flashy, but very well made. The combat mechanics are especially good - deep, yet easy to learn. Navigating through the levels can take a bit of perseverance, but the puzzles are much less pesky than Grimrock. Would have been awesome with voice acting, but still strongly recommended if you like the old school.

Rating: 90/100                                                                          
Just Fantastic!

Great game that takes me back to my 'Eye Of The Beholder' days. Quite challenging even with the pause option.

Lovely environments and great ambient sound.

Only con for me are items and some pressure pads are very hard to see. Developer has since added sparkle to dropped items, but it wasn't these items as such, it was items already on the ground hidden in corners I have trouble seeing. But that's half the fun right? Why have everything handed to you on a plate? I'm 6 hours in and only on Level 2. I can see this lasting me quite some time. Money well spent and kudos to the developer.

Football Manager 2016 PC Review and System Requirements

Review and Specs

I love football manager I really do but like most yearly releases you struggle to see the value of purchasing the what is 90% the same game year after year after year. And I am afraid it is even harder this year, The much boasted create a manager feature to put it gently is garbage not many options and when I tried to put myself in the game well I looked like a very dodgy regen with a creepy smile to be honest I preferred it when I could put my own picture in. A lot of things have been tweaked apparently but after 20 hours of playing can't say I have noticed any. Glaring problems such as the match engine players being badly animated with players seeming to float across the pitch with out moving there legs and goal players doing stupid things, yes I know we get the odd howler in football but it is not this bad.

Yes I am being harsh with this review and score but I love FM and want it to do better and hold it to a high standard all the way back to when I was playing when I was 13 signing Freddy Adu. To sum up I do not see any value in this installment and my big gripe about general laziness and minimal effort being put in remains from last year e.g same questions in interviews where we they have not even bothered to change the wording is dam lazy where such minimal effort has gone in every where else.

Final thoughts: A lazy effort and I am dissapointed if you are a fool like me you will buy it every year then moan then buy it next year but if you are sensible buy FM15 and download a custom database for the latest transfers.

Fallout 4 - Power Armor Information and Gameplay Images

Pitiful Armor

When you first leave Vault 111, you’ll be lucky if the blue jumpsuit you’re wearing protects you from a radroach bite. there’s all sorts of protective equipment and clothing to be found in the wastes, but serious survivors will want to invest in some power armor.

Real Steel
In previous games, power armor was just an outfit you equipped. one that offered great defence and took up a lot of inventory space, but not much beyond that. this time it’s a mechanical iron Man-style suit you step inside of. Better yet, the separate parts can be mixed and matched with other power armor models to your heart’s content, and modified for extra perks.


the SKY’S the liMi… oh
the jetpack is by far the best mod we saw. is there a videogame, or indeed a single part of everyday life, that isn’t improved with one? any concerns we had about this not being a truly new-gen fallout game shattered when we saw this mechanical beast take to the skies. Stuff that wearable pip-Boy,  why wasn’t this getup a pre-order bonus?

Fractured Soul Review and System Requirements

GameInfo: In Fractured Soul 3D, players take on the role of interplanetary rogue, Jake DeSaul a man with a checkered and mysterious past who must confront his demons in his desperate plight to escape an eerie and malevolent space station. As they progress through each level, the boundaries between dream and reality continue to blur as Jake faces a lifetime of regrets, hopes, dreams, and what might have been in his efforts to reconcile himself with his past.

In order to help Jake, players must blast their way through 20 exciting and brain bending platform levels spread across five distinct worlds - each offering a unique challenge including inverted gravity, damage, wind, ice, and underwater. Additionally, there are four shoot 'em up levels that also make use of the screen switching. Each level is timed and ranked to encourage replayability.

Review: An enjoyably challenging platformer that also implements Ikaruga-like levels scattered throughout the game. At first, it was a bit too short for the asking price.

However, after talking with the developers about certain issues and immediatley fixing the problems thereafter, these guys deserve every penny.

If you like Mega Man or Vectorman, this is a no-brainer.

Front Office Football Seven Review and System Requirements

GameInfo: Front Office Football Seven is the seventh installment of Solecismic Software's award-winning professional football simulation.

Review: I've probably logged more hours on the Front Office Football series than the Civilization series. It may seem daunting at first but you can play and win with varying degrees of input. If you just want to be a general manager, you can let your staff handle all of the gameplanning and you can still do well. If you just want to coach, you can do that to. While it may not be the prettiest, it has everything you want to make a fun and deep football experience.

The Fall Review and System Requirements

I played this game using a keyboard and a gamepad (xbox pad) and the controls are poor - responsiveness is stiff and delayed in both cases but I found it to be a little easier to play with a gamepad due to the funky keys/combination presses and holds you need to use.

There are bugs, really crazy bugs. The game crashed twice on me in my single play through and several times I would start floating through the level ending up in random locations. Also, sometimes when an area loaded I would not be able to control the character at all except for moving around (no shooting/jumping/flashlight/stealth/etc.).

The puzzles are basic - use a thing on this thing to get to the next place. It never really goes beyond that but due to level design you often need to walk around looking for the thing or the place to use the thing for a long time, backtracking is often needed.
The combat is not as good as I was lead to believe. You have a gun, just one, as your weapon and there's only a few different enemy types in the whole game. You can also stealth, but you can't move when stealth. It feels very lacking.

The game is short. Really short, which is good because if the boring combat and tedious puzzles went on much longer I think I would have just quit.

The only really good part of the game is the story and the voice acting, which is excellent except for 3 tremendous flaws. It is absolutely linear which is fine, but you are given "choices" that aren't choices - you must take one specific action to move forward - don't present false choices to me. The overall plot is obvious. Finally, the game/story is incomplete - WAAAAAY incomplete. It felt like just when I was ready for the real story to come into play, it was suddenly over. Booooo!

There's very little redeeming value here, I picked it up on a steam sale and it still wasn't worth it. Fellow game player, don't make the mistake I've already payed for. Move on, find better games and adventures out there in the digisphere.

Overview: The player controls Cool Coyote in a game with advanced, colourful graphics with some novel gameplay features. Perhaps two of the most memorable features of the game are the ever-present representation of the gameworld at the bottom of the screen which features some accomplished shimmering water effects and the 'sunset' style background colour effects that were also memorably used in the Amiga game Zool. The CD32 version was graphically enhanced to include detailed background scenery, 256 on-screen colors and several layers of parallax scrolling.

Football Manager 2013 Review - Electronic Theatre

90/100 For many years now Sports Interactive has been considered the leader in the field of football management simulations. Competitors have come and gone – including the development team’s original franchise Championship Manager – and while some titles offered a greater amount of instant gratification none could compete with Football Manager in terms of depth. This is one playing field that has never been level, and Sports Interactive intend to tip the scales even further this year by offering those gamers with less time to invest their own opportunity to get involved in the franchise.
