Have you played Don’t Grind?

Don’t Grind is a weird yet wonderful game you can buy from your mobile’s app store. It’s basically a game in which you have to try and not grind a banana who is a fun and funky character. The cartoon buzzsaws are what you’re trying to avoid and you basically have to keep your banana happy but helping it miss the obstacles, which also includes lasers. It’s a game that’s easy to play and it will kill a few minutes if you need a break from work or something to keep you entertained on the train. The cute visuals and expressions are what make this game though and it has the character to become a cult hit. Sometimes it is the most simple games that make it to the top of the mobile gaming charts so we’ll certainly be keeping our eyes on this new release. If you haven’t tried it already give it a go, tap you’re banana away from trouble!

Becoming a game reviewer

Playing games is challenging yet fun and reviewing can be the same too. When you play a game, you’re likely to reflect on it after. Only you will know whether it ticked the right boxes for you and if you know what makes a good game you should start sharing your opinion. You can review games via a blog, social media channels or a website and it can help you progress in the gaming industry. Many people who work in gaming spend time reviewing games and the more time you dedicate to reviewing, the more authority you’ll have in the gaming industry. There are plenty of video game reviewers out there but there are always room for more opinions and yours could be one of them. If you love gaming why not give reviewing a chance and see how you get on. You never know, you may love it and develop into a pro.

Minecraft: Pocket Edition

Minecraft Pocket Edition is a fantastic game for your mobile phone, whether you’re on Android or Apple. Unlike many others you can buy from the app store, it offers stunning visuals, smooth gameplay and virtually unlimited possibilities. We really mean it, if you can dream it then there is a good chance you can build it and that is why this is such a hot game in the charts right now. You can explore randomly generated world and build amazing properties with your cubes. It could be a small apartment or a huge castle; it is completely up to you. You also get the chance to craft weapons and armour to fend off any dangerous characters. There are some in-app purchases along the way but only hard core Minecraft fans will want to upgrade, the basic version has just enough going in in our opinion.

Worms WMD on the PS4

I used to spend all of my Saturdays playing Worms on the PlayStation 2 and I’m glad to see it’s now back on my screen thanks to the PS4. We’ve known for years that this 2D battler can hold its own next to bigger and more self-serious strategy games and there is one major positive with Worms this time round; it doesn’t try to be something it’s not. You really do go back to basics with this one, everything is friendly and familiar like it was on the PS2 except this time it’s sharper. The crisp cartoon visuals and sounds aren’t far from the original either and that’s why it’s performing so well in the charts. The only problem with this game is that it’s set at quite a steep price, so only real hardcore Worms fans will want to add this timeless classic to their collection.

No New Rockstar Game Until 2017

We’re well into 2016 now and many of us were hoping Rockstar would be bringing out a big name game this year. That, however, is not going to happen and here’s why. They’re currently working on a sequel to Red Dead Redemption, whilst Grand Theft Auto V is still going strong so a new release is likely to be several years away. If rumours are true, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be ready late next year, but for now we’ll all just have to hold tight and play the Rockstar games we have over and over again until they finally give us a release that we’ve all been waiting for. If you’re fed up of waiting, there are plenty of other cool third world games on the market, including Mafia 3!

Game of Thrones – The Game

I didn’t know about this one until recently and it was released in 2014, but Telltale’s Game of Thrones is set in the world of HBO’s groundbreaking TV show and it’s available on the PS4. This story tells of House Forrester, a noble family from the north of Westeros, loyal to the Starks of Winterfell. Caught up in the events surrounding the War of the Five Kings, they are thrown into a maelstrom of bloody warfare, revenge, intrigue, and horror as they fight to survive while the seven kingdoms tear themselves apart. Most of the characters look the part and though the gameplay isn’t the best, the storyline will have you hooked just like the TV series. It’s gory too, making it an 18 rating, but I can’t help but wait for the next one, because we’re now on season 7 of Game of Thrones and the storyline has evolved massively.
