Play the ball
With two absolutely rancid rugby union titles already available for Xbox One (Rugby 15, Rugby World Cup 2015) it was with apprehension that we strode out onto the field to take on the competing code of rugby league in Big Ant's latest offering.

Loose ends
Good or bad. This is what it all comes down to when discussing the fourth and final chapter of Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

Better than the first
Without a doubt, the second episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 knows how to up the ante. The story is more compelling, the action more exciting, and the enemies significantly more challenging.

Review DmC: Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition (Xbox One)
Here’s your chance to atone
Great games don’t always get the appreciation they deserve, and that’s a damn shame. Look at 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot, which was a smash hit with critics and most that played it, yet somehow it didn’t meet sales expectations.
