Review Battlefield 6 (Xbox) - A Fantastic FPS, And A Great Base For The Future Of Battlefield
Back to winning ways
EA and the newly-rebranded Battlefield Studios had a lot to prove to me with Battlefield 6. The previous game in the series, Battlefield 2042, left a lot to be desired - and truth be told, I was losing a bit of faith in the series ever getting back to its glory days. With BF6 now here, backed up by a pretty smooth opening...
Review EA Sports FC 26 (Xbox) - A Fresh Take On The Series Thanks To Its 'Authentic' Twist
Two ways to play = a better game for everyone
When Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series closed its doors in favour of a free-to-play Ultimate Team alternative called eFootball a few years ago, I have to admit I was gutted. It's not like I didn't play FIFA as well, but I felt like PES gave me a more authentic-feeling game of football on the pitch -...

Review F1 24 (Xbox) - Codemasters Delivers The F1 Goods. Again. And Again. And Again.
Lick the stamp and send it
There's something very "wannabe cool dad energy" about F1 as a sport. It's just one of those things. For every spectacular crash, breathtaking win or undeniable display of driving greatness... there's still a wrap-around shades sort of a vibe, a sort-of neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard aspect to the whole thing that it...
