Battling for the drivers' championship at F1 Arcade in London

I recently had the opportunity to visit a place I’d been dying to see since it opened at the start of this year - the F1 Arcade in London. Essentially a bar crammed full of sim racing setups, the website made it look like a dream for a keen virtual...

Yakuza 6: The Song of Life (PS4) retrospective

It’s been a while since I published one of my longer gaming articles, but after playing Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, I felt compelled to put pen to digital paper. This is another post that sits somewhere between the review and retrospective categories, but like others in the series,...

PlayStation 5 first impressions

I had reason to reward myself last week, and having been hovering in indecision for some time, I decided it was finally time to pull the trigger and buy a PlayStation 5. After a short time with the console, here are my thoughts on Sony’s next-gen offering and how it...

Starfield could be the fix for The Outer Worlds... and Fallout 4

There was a time in about 2018 when I thought The Outer Worlds would be the fix for Fallout 4. That doesn’t mean that I hated Bethesda’s most recent “proper” game - I completed two lengthy playthroughs, one on release and one during the COVID pandemic - but for whatever...

FIFA 22 Career Mode: TSP United – making history

Last time out in my FIFA 22 Career Mode series I was lucky to hold on to my job as TSP United manager after a disappointing 2026/27 season. Would I be able to handle the mounting pressure in England’s top flight with the board’s expectations ever increasing? Perhaps this photo...

New Splinter Cell remake details on series' 20th birthday

Fans on the Splinter Cell subreddit were speculating recently about what Ubisoft might do for the series’ 20th anniversary. While the upcoming remake stoked some excitement, the publisher has been so neglectful of Sam Fisher and his pals in recent years that many expected nothing at all this week. But...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (Xbox 360) retrospective

With a bit more time on my hands this week, I decided to dust off my Xbox One and play through a game that I sunk many an hour into on the Xbox 360 about a decade ago (although it turns out not in the way I thought) - Call...

F1 22: How to choose the perfect difficulty and assists

Half of the enjoyment of any racing game comes from achieving the perfect balance between your own ability, the challenge of keeping the car under control at fast speeds, and the competition offered by your AI rivals. F1 22 is no exception, and having recently purchased the game, I thought...

F1 22 is better than the internet says

F1 22’s free-to-play weekend came at a tough time for Codemasters and EA - at least as far as my evaluation was concerned. Coming hot off the heels of my retrospective on the PS1 classic Formula 1 97, they had their work cut out to impress me - but impress...

Formula 1 97 (PS1) retrospective

I was shocked on multiple levels to find that one of my favourite childhood games recently celebrated its 25th birthday. Developed by Bizarre Creations, Formula 1 97 was the official game of the 1997 Formula 1 championship, the follow-up to the 1995 original (which was simply titled Formula 1), and...
