This week has been interesting, to say the least.
First up 2K have finally revealed the Civilization VI system requirements, as seen below.
Lastly is the news of an update to Final Fantasy 14 Online. This update brings new apartments, hairstyles and new dungeons.
Tribe Of Pok Review
Not many civilization clones exist in the world, but I've found one.
Just like my other Reviews I'll be splitting this up into 3 categories:
Story
Gameplay
Other Features
Story
You are in control of a tribe. In order to survive you must hunt, gather and craft in order to help your settlers thrive.
8/10 Basic Story
Gameplay
In all fairness, the game runs pretty well. The keys are accurate however the ui is confusing at first.
I don't normally care about graphics in video games but this one is an exception. Stick-men that are supposedly characters make it look like a cartoon you drew at school and I know how hard it is to make video game art but at least use royalty free assets.
7/10 Controls are good but art lets it down
Other Features
Hunting and strategical elements make the game more approachable to RTS fans but not the casual gamer. Personally it made me want to play civ 5.
5/10 Not for an average gamer
Overall
8/10
7/10
5/10
= 20/30 Not a bad game but only appeals to a certain audience

My Top 5 Games
I am very picky when it comes to choosing games to purchase. I look for products that have replayability and open world gameplay. Here's my top list of games I personally like.
5. The Binding Of Isaac
The Binding Of Isaac is different. It takes the rouge-like elements of RPG games and uses a witty plot to create an experience most people are bound to enjoy.
4. Fallout 4
The Fallout franchise has become renowned for its open world action RPG elements it has become known as today. The fourth installment brings mods into the real game and makes them better.
3. Just Cause 2
With over 190 hours invested into the game I have one conclusion, Just cause 2 is awesome. With James Bond-like explosions and enough settlements to keep you liberating for a year, Just Cause 2 is the ultimate title for action fans.
2. No Man's Sky
Often referred to as No Man's Lie, NMS is possibly one of the biggest gaming controversies to ever hit the web.
Every Borderlands Game Ever.
I could write a 12-page essay on why Borderlands is the best shooter to exist but I'll save that for another time. If you've never played Borderlands then now is the chance to do so.
Did you agree with our list? Is there something we missed? Let us know in the comments below.
Pixelman Review
When was the last time you played a superhero game? Perhaps the telltale games batman series? Pixelman takes superhero to the next level.
Just like my other Reviews I'll be splitting this up into 3 categories:
Story
Gameplay
Other Features
Story
The premise of the game is to dodge obstacles and save kidnapped females (don't ask). Not really much of a story but at least it gives a reason for the game to exist.

5/10 Gives the game a reason to exist.
Gameplay
First off I have to say the controls need to be rethought. Controlling the character is like trying to play an fps while drunk. The game has different scenery which makes it fresh and usually has bosses deep into the round.
7/10 bad controls but good gameplay
Other Features
The choice of pixel man and pixel girl gives the game variety (and shuts the feminists up) and different levels which are endless are just some of the features in the game.
8/10 different levels make the game fun.
Overall
5/10
7/10
8/10
= 20/30 a good game but the controls drag it down.

Weekly Roundup #7
This week has been an interesting one for releases. We have had Paladins bringing steam players into their community and NBA 2K17 gearing up for its release.
First up we have Paladins, the free to play FPS from Hi-Rez. It released on Steam, which gave it the reputation of the Overwatch clone, and it's not half bad.
Next is the pre load of NBA 2K17. If you have preordered NBA 2K16 then you officially pre load.

A Quick Look At Paladins: The Game That Made Me Fall In Love With The FPS Genre Again
Recently I've been browsing steam for some new free to play titles. That is when I found Paladins, the latest from Hi-Rez studios, the masters behind Smite.
I booted up the game and after reading the reviews on Steam I was expecting an Overwatch Clone but what I actually got was much better.
There are many points that separate the 2 games apart. For example, Paladins is set in a fantasy world and it has cards you can equip.
Another difference is that you can ride horses into battle as most players don't want to trek all the way across the map only to find that the game has finished by the time you get there. This makes the game more fast paced and helps stop it from lasting over 30 minutes.
Of course, the game is still in Beta and has a heap of bugs. Yesterday I encountered connectivity issues and my progress level resetting but this can be expected in an early access. This game has potential and when I reach 50 hours in it I will be sure to write a review.

Story
The main aim of the game is to destroy as many tanks as possible. This can be done either alone or with a friend.
4/10 No story and plain gameplay.
Gameplay
The gameplay. Well, first off the tanks have the worst handling I have ever seen in a video game. You die quickly, even if you dodged the bullet and to top it off, you can't take a screenshot.
2/10 BROKEN
Other Features
None.
0/10 Are they joking?
Overall
4/10
2/10
0/10
= 6/30 Poorly made and needs an overhaul.
