I’ve played many racing games, but MotoGP 20 is a new kind of challenge that I wholeheartedly embrace. The high-speed, demanding bikes require a slightly different approach from the traditional race car techniques I’m accustomed to, breeding an internal competition for understanding and mastery that leads to a heightened tension on the track. This creates […]
Gears Tactics Review Round-up
You might be surprised to learn this, but Gears Tactics launches tomorrow on PC. Coming to both Steam and the Microsoft Store, there’s been an odd lack of hype going into the game’s release. Is it because Gears Tactics is a bit of a dud? Quite the contrary, in fact. According to the numerous reviews […]
Gears Tactics review – Gears Of War’s strategy turn

Bleeding Edge is a unique 4v4 competitive experience that shows a little flash in its third-person approach, but doesn’t deliver much of a punch in combat or enough variation in its match types and maps.

With the recent news that the next Panzer Dragoon game is coming to VR this year, it was the perfect time for Panzer Dragoon: Remake to surprise release on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Coming into the series fresh, […]
