I’ve only recently got into UFC, so I never experienced the previous version of this game, but from what I’ve heard there have been some big improvements. EA Sports UFC 2 captures all of the splendor and spectacle that is Mixed Martial Arts. The visuals are incredible, and the game doesn’t hold back. The fighters really do pummel the hell out of each other within the confines of an octagon-shaped cage. It’s bloody and brutal entertainment at its best but there’s more to it than brutality. Tactics are involved, and if you go in for a move too early you could be punished, yet if you invite an attack you could get destroyed in a matter of seconds. Moving around the octagon in the right way is key. It took me a little while to get used to the controls, but I feel like I’m a bit of a master now, so if anyone wants to play me whilst I’m Conor McGregor, all I have to say is good luck!

It’s one of those games consoles we’ve all had a play on, but not many people know what happened to it? When Xbox and PS4 released their new versions, the Wii was kicked back even further. What’s funny is that everyone remembers the launch of the PS4 and the Xbox One, but nobody remembers the release of the Wii U. It’s a console that never really got going, and as soon as PS4 and Xbox introduced their motion sensors, there wasn’t really much need to invest in a Wii and that’s where we’re at today. The only thing Nintendo has going for it is some of those popular titles like Mario, but it was a great console for bringing the family together. Nowadays each family member is playing their own games on their tablet or playing games on the PS4 or Xbox and don’t think there’s really any way back for the Wii now.

There seemed to be a phase when everybody was playing games on their smartphones, and you’d screenshot your score and upload it online or share it with your friends. That doesn’t really happen much nowadays, and it’s because people simply don’t have the time or interest. If you want to play a really good game, you’re going to use your computer or your games console, or perhaps even a tablet.

Playing a game on your mobile just isn’t what it used to be, and for me, even the latest advert on the TV with Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t enough to pull me in. I can’t say I have played a game on my mobile phone for years, and unless you have a very long and draining commute, there really isn’t any real need to download the latest games.

Beyond: Two Souls has been well received, and that’s largely due to the storyline and the visuals, not the game play. The game is very difficult to get used to, even if you’ve played the previous version.

The storyline is what makes it. You play as Jodie Holmes, a girl who, since birth, has been tethered to an otherworldly entity named Aidan. This companion isn’t exactly easy going, and it means Jodie receives frequent visits from evil creatures. You follow Jodie over 15 years, and it’s up to you to help her deal with the weird yet wonderful world. The game is often spooky yet spectacular, and while there is room for improvement, it’s still a game worth buying and completing! It’s sitting in the charts quite highly at this moment in time, but prices may come down in January, so stay tuned.
