Feature: Black Ops 7 Beta Review (Xbox) - A Bit Of A Re-Skin, But Zombies Mode ShinesBringing the band back together. Call of Duty returns this year with its first back-to-back Black Ops release — similar to Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 a few years ago — and that no-doubt makes this year's title feel like less of a leap. COD 2025 is clearly built on the admittedly-strong foundations of Black Ops 6 , which makes multiplayer feel quite familiar here in Black Ops 7 . However, some neat tweaks still make this one worth a try, and Zombies mode has the potential to really shine this time around. Currently here in beta form, players can hop into a handful of multiplayer maps / modes and just the one Zombies experience - of course, the complete suite will be available in the full game. Multiplayer takes us to a near-future setting in BO7 which aesthetically is a welcome change - even if the weapons and gadgets on offer don't stray that far away from last year's title.

Borderlands 4 Review – Back to Basics, Back to GreatnessReviewer’s Note: My review period for Borderlands 4 did not begin until post-launch. My opinions on game performance are based on my own experience with the retail version of the game, which received several additional performance patches during my playtime. When it was initially announced during Gamescom last year, Borderlands 4 left the gaming community in a [...]

Candy Rangers Review – Sweet SimplicitySometimes all a game needs is a simple idea; an idea so efficient, so malleable, but so wonderfully creative that it immediately draws you in and captures your interest. Such was the case with Candy Rangers from Spanish developer Mechano; its colorful, inventive approach immediately took me to an on-rails shooter, and I knew I had to give it [...]

Review: EA Sports FC 26 (Xbox) - A Fresh Take On The Series Thanks To Its 'Authentic' TwistTwo 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 - it wasn't about dancing on the ball with insane agility, over-the-top skill moves and 5-4 scorelines. PES delved into the nitty-gritty of the sport, such as playing hoof-ball when it was necessary and grinding out a 1-0 win with a messy goalmouth-scramble of a goal. EA Sports FC just hasn't been able to replicate that in recent years, and a lot of that is down to its over-reliance on Ultimate Team - its fans seem to want a super fast-paced and more arcadey take on the sport, so where does that leave the rest of us? Well, EA has cleverly attempted to address this in EA Sports FC 26 , providing both "Competitive" and "Authentic" game styles that try to offer a more arcade and simulation-like experience.
