Life is Strange Episode Two: Out of Time Review
Episode two of DONTNOD Entertainment’s Life is Strange is here. Can they continue their systematic trampling of everyone else in the genre, or was Episode One a fluke? Out of Time starts with Max waking up, but rather jarringly it puts you in control, by which I mean it makes…

Evolve Review
On the back of last year’s E3 critics couldn’t stop talking about Evolve, which managed to scoop the lion’s share of awards from critics at the show. I myself previewed Evolve back in February 2014 and was convinced it was the second coming of Christ. So as you can imagine,…
