Demolish & Build Classic Review

Paul Renshaw — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 16:39:35 +0000

Demolish & Build Classic is absolutely rubbish.

Deadliest Catch: The Game Review

Paul Renshaw — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 18:51:05 +0000

Deadliest Catch: The Game is dull, hard to operate and looks awful. Most importantly, the way that the controls operate manage to suck what little fun going crabbing has out of the game. The result is a mess that you would do well to avoid.

Boss Rush: Mythology Review

Boss Rush: Mythology - it is rubbish.

Jurassic Pinball Review

Richard Dobson — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 05:23:00 +0000

Jurassic Pinball offers up a depressingly bland pinball table with almost no redeeming features. Aside from the fact that the delays and dodgy physics are such that your turns will be over very quickly.

Hunt Ducks 4 Review

Dave Ozzy — Mon, 06 Feb 2023 14:30:02 +0000

Hunt Ducks 4 is a racket, a grift. The developers have carefully peeled the label off of Hunt Ducks II’s bottle and then sold it again as Hunt Ducks 4 instead.

Albacete Warrior Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:24:13 +0000

Albacete Warrior is, without any doubt, the least funny comedy game we have ever played.

Deep Space Anomaly Review

Paul Renshaw — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 09:38:56 +0000

Deep Space Anomaly feels unfinished; like the developers cobbled some ideas together and shovelled it out of the door as fast as possible.

Joy Ball Adventure Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 29 Jan 2023 14:03:58 +0000

We have to implore you not to buy Joy Ball Adventure. It’s unfinishable, bugged to the point of impassibility on Level 14. What little we played was good, particularly for that low price, but you can experience an actual, working version of it by buying Kid Ball Adventure instead. It has the novelty of actually being playable.

Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom Review

Paul Renshaw — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 20:19:18 +0000

On PC, Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom could well be a fine game, but it just doesn’t work on the Xbox, and that is a big problem.

Gabriel’s Worlds The Adventure Review

Dave Ozzy — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 14:40:44 +0000

Sure, you can gird your loins with 2000G of achievements for thirty minutes of work, but any discerning gamer will leave Gabriel’s Worlds The Adventure well, well alone.

Mechapunk Review

Matt Gardner — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 16:42:38 +0000

Mechapunk doesn’t feel like a game so much as a performance art piece – one that proves that capitalism is as two-dimensional as the things we aspire to enjoy, maybe? There’s plenty of space to conjure up a metaphor that excuses this mess – “what room!” indeed.

Mozart Requiem Review

James Birks — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 19:41:50 +0000

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died way back in 1791, but his legacy as a composer continues to live on and now, would you believe it, he’s even the protagonist of a point and click adventure. Indeed, Mozart Requiem has emerged, which is actually a revamp of the scarcely released title Mozart: The Conspirators of Prague from 2009. Is it a classic deserving of preservation, or does Mozart Requiem deliver a performance to forget?

Midnight School Walk Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 18:43:14 +0000

Midnight School Walk is refund-worthy. We can’t underline it enough: this is a visual novel that should be avoided at all costs. Everyone involved can do better.

Shadoworld: The Impossible Escape Game Review

Dave Ozzy — Thu, 11 Aug 2022 08:43:04 +0000

Say ‘Shadoworld: The Impossible Escape Game’ to us, and an involuntary facial tic will spasm across our face. This is not a game to play if you value your time or sanity.

Blade Runner Enhanced Edition Review

Paul Renshaw — Sun, 17 Jul 2022 17:06:12 +0000

Unless you are a rabid Blade Runner, you’ll want to steer clear of Blade Runner Enhanced Edition.

eFootball 2022 Review

George Sweetnam — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 10:49:14 +0000

eFootball 2022 is a disaster, plain and simple, and there has been very little added to Season 1 or 2 that can alleviate that.

Hunt Ducks II Review

Dave Ozzy — Fri, 27 May 2022 15:09:37 +0000

Hunt Ducks II is Duck Hunt. It’s Duck Hunt to the point of a cease-and-desist.

Slap the Rocks Review

Jacob Stokes — Wed, 25 May 2022 18:03:52 +0000

Slap the Rocks feels like a case of squandered potential.

Behind Closed Doors: A Developer’s Tale Review

Diana — Mon, 23 May 2022 12:31:12 +0000

Behind Closed Doors feels like a rushed first draft. A great deal of it needs tightening up, redrafting, and playtesting for it to feel worth the playtime.

Happi Basudei Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 01 May 2022 17:27:00 +0000

Happi Basudei is phenomenally atrocious, a water-cooler joke between developers that somehow wound up on the Xbox Store, miraculously dodging anything that might resemble quality control.

Ground War: Tank Battle Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 26 Mar 2022 14:33:24 +0000

You could viably use Ground War: Tank Battle as a form of torture. Whisper “120 levels of tank-battling action” in our ear and we’ll spasm to the floor, the trauma of multiple hours with it still fresh in our memory.

Retro Pixel Racers Review

Dave Ozzy — Sun, 13 Mar 2022 20:41:19 +0000

In the past few months, we’ve experienced a traffic jam of top-down racers. And right at the back, way behind the rest of them, is Retro Pixel Racers. It offers no excuses: it flicks the bird as it passes, with no multiplayer, no game modes, no track variation and a top-speed just north of a shopping trolley.

Doodle Escape: Room Escape Game Review

Dave Ozzy — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 20:39:49 +0000

There are people who will be suckered into Doodle Escape: Room Escape Game, like a moth to a 79p flame. We get it: they can barely feel the money leaving their bank account. But we worry about them: we worry about their wellbeing, should they play it, because it achieves a level of frustration that causes physical pain. It’s gaming tinnitus.

MiniGolf Tour Review

Dave Ozzy — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 08:17:48 +0000

What a hollow carcass of a game MiniGolf Tour is. Fourteen holes. No ability to play multiplayer, local or online. Nothing to do but hit the ball hard down grassy corridors, and the grotesque remains of a monetisation store still just-about breathing, offering you cosmetics that you can’t show to anyone. ‘Mini’ golf is correct, but it’s giving it too much credit. ‘Mangled Golf’ better covers it.

Gallic Wars: Battle Simulator Review

Paul Renshaw — Sat, 28 Aug 2021 15:13:01 +0000

Gallic Wars: Battle Simulator is a game that takes an interesting idea and smothers it under a pile of bad controls, dubious design decisions and poor gameplay. If you like Asterix, or strategy games, I can’t recommend this game to you.

Alfonzo’s Arctic Adventure Review

Dave Ozzy — Sat, 14 Aug 2021 10:26:29 +0000

At the start of Alfonzo’s Arctic Adventure, it’s not quite clear where Bob, the ‘damsel in distress’, went. We can imagine him walking away sheepishly, looking back at the puzzle-platformer he was leaving behind and sighing, sadly. That’s because this arctic adventure is a dismal, weary one, and Bob’s only option was to never think about it again.

Gold Rush: The Game Review

James Birks — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 12:34:48 +0000

Whenever and wherever gold is found in the world, the mining folk home in. This surge of people, upon the unearthing of gold, is known as a gold rush. There’s also a popular reality TV show on the Discovery channel called Gold Rush, which follows the exploits of mining companies looking to make a fortune. Given its sheer popularity, a mining simulation game has arrived in the form of Gold Rush: The Game and now you too can reap the rewards of being a miner. Will you strike gold with a purchase of Gold Rush: The Game, or is it just pure dirt that only brings disappointment?

Heliborne Review

Paul Renshaw — Sun, 20 Jun 2021 08:20:17 +0000

Visually it looks bad, the controls are shonky, and rarely can any fun be had. A lack of tutorials, confusing menus, and errors popping up all over the place sees Heliborne spiralling to earth, totally out of control. If you are a fan of helicopter games, after playing this, you won’t be.

Boom Blaster Review

Jacob Stokes — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:50:24 +0000

Boom Blaster on Xbox left a bad taste in the mouth. In fact, the only blasting I wanted to do by the end of it, was blasting this game off my hard-drive. Don’t bother picking this one up, because it’s frankly unplayable. There are far too many issues to overlook and it’s an all-round horrible experience.

Another Dawn Review

Gareth Brierley — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 10:37:47 +0000

Another Dawn on Xbox is a very strange game; one that could have been a decent survival-based first-person shooter but fast turns into a mess due to bad mechanics and awful gameplay - it goes wrong from the first minute and you’ll need a whole host of willpower to even attempt to carry on past that moment.
