I feel like it has been a while since we had an open-world pirate game, but we got one for 2024. Ubisoft and one of Ubisoftâs Original Games Skull and Bones which was first announced back in 2017 by Ubisoft Singapore at an E3 event. I remember because I was there when it first got announced and I was excited because I love video games that incorporate wooden ships and pirates. This game when I first heard ...
It has been a LONG time since weâve seen a proper Prince of Persia game. Back in 2020 Ubisoft had announced a remake for The Sands of Time, that quite frankly looked REALLY bad. After seeing that, I thought the franchise was doomed and it was time to move on. Thankfully, that project is delayed indefinitelyâŠ. which is typically lingo for âWe arenât going to do that anymoreâ. So, ...

Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 has hit the Xbox consoles, bringing a whole new level of realism and excitement to virtual garage enthusiasts. As a devout fan of both motorcycles and simulation games, I couldnât wait to get my hands dirty in this digital workshop.

If youâve been around GamesReviews.com for a bit, you know I am a sucker for Simulation games. So naturally, when we acquired this code for review it was sent my way. I take that as a badge of honor.

Iâve been a hockey fan my entire life, and no matter where I have moved and lived, Iâve always worn my love for the Toronto Maple Leafs on my sleeves. NHL has always been a franchise I have loved, and still today itâs a fantastic simulation sports experience. With the new upgrades for the 2023-2024 season, I think NHL is as good as its ever been, but there are still a few issues I see. Updating the game Most ...
It is the nature of modern games that they can change, and quickly. Luckily Sonic Frontiers is all about quick. Okay, puns aside, this is a game that has changed a lot since I reviewed it back in January, and not least because of the free Final Horizon DLC released at the end of last month. But is that enough to bring players back? My initial opinion on Sonic Frontiers is that it was a diamond in the rough. ItâŠ
Itâs hard to put out a racing game today and not be compared to things like Forza or Gran Tourismo, which are the cream of the crop in the gaming world to be honest. But Ubisoft tries their damnedest with The Crew Motorfest. Eight years ago, with THE CREW 1, they brought to life a vision of a shared open world filled with car adventures. They gave players the opportunity to experience the illegal street ...
Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus have been some go-to cozy gaming of mine for the past couple of years. Harking back to Theme Hospital back on the PC, where I also spent waaay too much time playing, the series has been a comfort food sort of gaming experience for me since then. A brilliant mix of humour, simulation, and fun make it a good time had by all. Now Two Point Studios introduces its latest DLC ...
There are very few things you can count on in life. Whatâs the saying go the only sure thing are death and taxes? Well, I would say the only sure things are Call of Duty and MaddenâŠyes, itâs that time of year again. The air gets a little crisper, the beers get a little more pumpkin-y, and itâs time for that Sunday tradition of FOOTBALL. So of course, we need our annual installment in the ...

When America needs to dole out some democracy, thereâs only one gang of soldiers brave enough to answer the call: the Broforce. Made up of familiar (but not too familiar) faces from favourite action films and TV series of the 80s and 90s, you get to chew gum and kick ass through dozens of hilariously funny levels. And while the original game came out in 2015, Broforce Forever â the final update ...

Long before we were treated in the gaming world to the masterpiece series known as MLB the Show, little Kevin used to sit in front of his CRT TV playing games like Bases Loaded. There was just something about how much FUN those games were. Fully embracing the arcadiness style of gameplay, no need for real teams or players, just had fun with it. The mechanics also were so simple that virtually anyone could pick ...
Iâm a sucker for the old school FMV games. Playing them on my PC in the mid-late 90s and occasionally we get some on consoles now. The latest of which being Mia and the Dragon Princess, which donât let the name fool you, the game is full of greatly coordinated fights, explosions, and action. But Iâm getting ahead of myself.

I remember sinking in so much time into Age of Empires II back in the day, it had come pre-installed on a lot of computers I had owned and I had a lot of memories just wasting time with it. When they announced the Definitive edition back in 2019 I had hoped it would make itâs way to consoles, and now it has and if you have Gamepass, you can play it for free. The core gameplay elements are sharedâŠ
Add this to the list of reviews I didnât think Iâd be writing in 2023. Goldeneye 007 was a killer app on the N64, and is legendary in the console FPS world. But how does the new remaster hold up? 007 played by Pierce Brosnan makes an unexpected (and difficult) return to our screens in the guise of a slightly improved emulation of the original game. Thatâs not to say that it isnât ...
Ubisoft seems to be in the news a lot lately, from plunging stock values, delays of Skull and Bones again, and now the semi-flawed release of their newest title OddBallers. Now let me start all this off by saying Ubisoft is one of my absolutely favorite developer/publisher teams out there. I am a massive fan of Watchdogs, Far Cry, The Division, Etc etc. I think they get a lot of heat for putting out many good, ...
Last year one of my most enjoyable gaming experiences was getting to review Two Point Campus, as a big fan of Two Point Hospital and Theme Hospital before it way back in the day this was a no brainer. The gameplay is fun, relaxing tone, humorous writing, whatâs not to love? In fact, you can read my whole review HERE. So obviously when they announced the Space Academy DLC, I was already with my astronaut ...
Sonic Frontiers is the best Sonic game in a generation. If youâre running faster than the blue blur to tell me that isnât saying much, congratulations. You win Internet Original of the Day. But believe me when I say this is a new direction for the former console mascot. Do you remember the Saturday morning cartoon Sonic? He could seemingly run on any surface, leaping from one area to another in a ...
In a world where football is banned, itâs up to one youngster to⊠play football. So that football can return to the world? Thatâs Soccer Story, and if that explanation grabs you, congratulations â the game is exactly what you think itâll be. Soccer Story is part sports game, yes. But mostly itâs about exploration and MMO-style quests that have you mostly using your magic ball ...
I have a seven year old daughter, and much like most kids around that age, they like to watch youtubers play games, open toys, etc. Now most of the time they revolve around Roblox or Minecraft but occasionally something else will pop up and get their attention.

Return to Monkey Island is the follow up to 1991âs Monkey Island 2, thatâs right 31 years later we got the follow up to the cliffhanger ending of Monkey Island 2.

As I stated in my review of the campaign for Modern Warfare II, I typically donât show up for COD to play multiplayer, Iâm typically focused on the narrative and campaign. But obviously since I was reviewing this game, I of course had to give it a fair chance and put in through the ringerâŠor put myself through the ringer, in the process I had ALOT of fun. This yearâs iteration of ...
