The Crew Is Free On PC And It's Yours To Keep

Ubisoft has been celebrating its 30th birthday since August and every week they are giving out a free game every month. So far the games include the likes of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Prince Of Persia and Rayman but this month has been the best yet.




The Crew.

The Crew is an open world racing sim developed by Ubisoft and was released way back in 2014. If you own a PC and Uplay you can head on over to the store page to download and keep The Crew. The game is still receiving support from Ubisoft 2 years on with the recent calling all units DLC.

Aim Hero Review

The list of games waiting to be reviewed is getting bigger every day. Some games can not be reviewed due to bugs (cough cough Looterkings) but most I can. I recently got 2 keys, F1 2016 and Aim Hero, which is the game that got picked to get reviewed today.

Just like my other Reviews I'll be splitting this up into 3 categories:

Story

Gameplay

Other Features 



Story

Well, this is a game/software to help you 'improve' your aim in fps games like CS GO or Overwatch. depending on how you look at it, this could be either handy or useless.


8/10 no story but doesn't matter 



Gameplay

The game does exactly what it says on the tin. It gives you various choices on how to hit the target. Penta and reflexes are just two of the 8 you can try your luck out. In the options, you can change the sensitivity or the crosshair style (Overwatch or CS GO). this can help you if you're familiar with the crosshairs from various games.

10/10 Delivers exactly what it offers


Other Features

The game doesn't have any 'other features' (apart from the crosshair changer. There is a map interference which suggests a workshop could be implemented in the feature.

4/10 No extra features


Overall

8/10
10/10

= 22/30

A tool to help you improve your fps skills.

Weekly Roundup #6

I've been away for the whole weekend but I managed to fit in the weekly roundup.

First up we have news about Super Mario Run. This ios game from
Nintendo was announced at the iphone 7 launch and has been on gamers mind ever since.  Is it good? Will it have a level editor? We will find out later on this year.

Speaking of Nintendo and mobile games, They are also releasing 2 mobile games this year. Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. I think we could be seeing a ds and iphone hybrid this time next year.

And that's it for the news! Not much happening but next week will hopefully be more interesting. 

3 Games That Were Different

Sometimes games seem to be repetitive. For example, some people would argue most fps games are like Call Of Duty and sometimes we want a change in games. Here's our list of the top 3 games that were different.


3. Borderlands

In 2009, Gearbox launched Borderlands, a game where you loot and shoot. Unlike other fps games it contained over 7 million guns (making it the video game with the most guns) and elements of an RPG (skill tree, classes etc.).





2. No Man's Sky

Yes, there were games before like Elite and Freelancer but no sci-fi game has attempted to create a universe with 18 quintillion planets. Also not to mention procedural ships, creatures, plants, planets, trade systems, caves, oceans and more. Basically, if you want to explore this is the game for you.




1. Viscera Cleanup Detail

When you're playing a game your usually the one making a mess, killing enemies, blowing limbs off etc etc but in Viscera Cleanup Detail you are the janitor, cleaning up the mess the heroes made. Your job is to clean up an area where the hero has engaged in a fight. The game has loads of maps to choose from (and a steam workshop) and has 3 dlc's. 2 of them are free and the other is £1.99.





That was our list of the top 3 games that are different. Did we miss a game? Let us know in the comments down below.

Loot Hero DX Review

More and more keys are coming through and with a second writer joining our team we might be able to publish reviews more often. But here's Loot Hero DX, the game where you hold down left click to play the game.

Just like my other Reviews I'll be splitting this up into 3 categories:

Story

Gameplay

Other Features 


Story

A dragon has started burning towns across the land and the people are in need of a hero. You must fight through waves of enemies until you can't hold down the left click button any longer. The story doesn't affect the gameplay at all and for that, it loses marks.

4/10 sometimes you wonder why you're playing the game.


Gameplay



The gameplay, where do I start...

Let's start with the fighting mechanics. The only control you will use in the game is the left-click button on the mouse, no joke. The games levelling system has no value, the games bestiary serves no purpose (apart from telling you how many enemies were killed) and the game can be easily completed under an hour.

And this is an RPG.

3/10 Poor mechanics


Other Features

The game has repetitive stages and the same enemies over and over. The music is actually quite good (but repetitive) and whenever you level up it sounds like the end of every tv ad made by EE.

But the achievements are easy to acquire, which is a plus

2/10 No extra features.


Overall

4/10
3/10
2/10

= 9/30 A poorly made 'RPG'

Why No Man's Sky Hasn't Failed Just Yet

No Man's Sky has had one of the most complicated video game launches in history and many fans have refunded their hard earned £39.99 for other games but after spending 38 hours in the game I can say No Man's Sky can be fixed, people just need to give it time.

I was one of the small amount of players having an issue where the game would crash when the logo shows up. I managed to find a fix for this but unfortunately Intel graphic card users couldn't play the game, and that's how it's going to stay in the near future. 

No Man's Sky doesn't have a friendly community either. Call Of Duty fans, hackers and Xbox users all took to the forums and turned it into a war zone. It's even got to the point where a Redditor threatened a moderator and his family.

If we give the game time then Hello Games can fix it and hopefully make it what gamers want it to be.

Gearbox Fans Are In For A Treat Tomorrow

Pax has been running since Wednesday and so far fans have enjoyed how developers create procedural games and how to craft their own controller but tomorrow fans of games such as Borderlands and Homeworld are going to be very happy bunnies.

Randy Pitchford tweeted on twitter this statement: 

Want the latest on Borderland, Duke Nukem, Homeworld & Battleborn? Me and the gang are live Friday at the Gearbox Main Theater show at PAX!

Personally, I'm excited for the latest news on Borderlands (possibly borderlands 3).

What are you excited for? Let us know in the comments.
