The Lego games have been feeling a tad tired as of late. More than once I’ve jumped into a game wishing they would rebuild the franchise from scratch. You know – brick by brick. Enter Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It certainly looks different enough on the surface, but is it as transformational as long-time fans might have hoped? The simple answer is no. It’s decent fun – especially if you’re a fan of the more involved modern Lego…

Read MoreGRID Legends review
The latest rendition of the long-running GRID racing game series is the first across the finish line during what promises to be a blockbuster year for fans of console racing games. GRID Legends is a solid entry that has more personality than its 2019 predecessor and boasts an interesting story mode to ease players into the game. Some floaty handling and an uncertain online environment are the only things holding GRID Legends back from arcade racing royalty.
Read MoreAery – Dreamscape Review
Fly through people’s deepest desires as a bird. And, no, Aery – Dreamscape isn’t an adult game. Because it turns out everybody’s deepest desires are things like “be a pirate”, “visit the moon” or “get out in nature”. Not a single level begins with the phrase “hey, you know that girl from Friends?” Maybe that would have been a better game – its not for me to judge – but it would have been a different game. This one is…

Read MoreHalo Infinite (Campaign)
It's been a long time since I really enjoyed a Halo Campaign - likely Halo 4 - so I was equal parts excited and skeptical about what 343 would have for us when the new campaign for Halo Infinite launches this week. I've been playing the campaign for a week now, and after about 30 hours covering the Zeta Halo ring, it's probably my second favourite Halo campaign of all time.
Read MoreSkyrim Anniversary Edition Review
Skyrim first launched 10 years ago, so it feels rather odd to be reviewing it now on its third generation of consoles at this point, but here we are…. The game’s main story revolves around the player’s character, the Dragonborn, on their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The game is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion and takes place in Skyrim, the northernmost province of Tamriel. Throughout the…
