Resident Evil 7 Biohazard With games like Outlast, Alien:Isolation, Layers of Fear and the short lived PT rasing the standards of the horror games. Its down to old favourite resident evil to claim back it's thrown. With some borrowed inspiration from the previously mentioned titles, old res evil has evolved ten fold from its original title. Set in swampland Louisiana you play as Ethan Winters, a man searching for his long missing wife Mia. He receives an email drawing him to the hillbilly house of the Bakers. A family of cannibal maniacs set on tearing you apart. The original games relied on awkward camera angles, the more recent favouring over the shoulder 3rd person action approach. This is the first resident evil set completely in a first person perspective. It adds to building the fear. This game is very claustrophobic. You are faced with tight corridors and small environments. You tend to face single enemies, who over power Ethan and catch up quickly. Until you find a weapon 🔫 (which in true resident evil fashion limited ammo) when you encounter an enemy you're better off running. Unfortunately the fresh gritty texas chainsaw massacre approach doesn't last long. The very tired umbrella storyline stumbles in and so comes the wiggly tentacles, razor sharp teeth with big glowing eyeballs. It's still an enjoyable game. Just losses the edge that worked so hard to earn.

Uncharted: The lost legacy This game, though a shorter sister game (roughly 10hrs, longer than most triple A first person shooters), is at the same high standard as all Naughty dog titles. It is dubbed as an expansion but I can ensure you that it is more than an extra level with a glossy title screen. Set after the events of Uncharted 4, lost legacy takes you through the story of treasure hunter Chloe Frazer and mercenary Nadine Ross, as they search for the fabled tusk of Ganesh. As the other uncharted titles, there is a race to reach the bounty before an ego driven maniac with a small army at his disposal. The game is rich with Hindu mythology as it based in India, this opens up the dialogue to explain Chloe's back story. This is particularly nice as she appears in uncharted 2 and 3 as a kind of mysterious background pop up character. From the very first time I heard of the making of a Tomb Raider film, my opinion was that Claudia Black should play the first lady of video games Lara Croft. She can act and is believable at being a tough girl. Physically and visually she would suit the role. Sadly it never happened. This is the nearest as we're going to get. As third person action adventure games go, lost legacy is very entertaining. In-between the blaze of gun fire and peril of death there are a few simple puzzles thrown in. To create a sense of achievement as you advance through the environments. These puzzles are an opertunity to learn about the Hindu gods and culture. It's a nice medium of education, I dare you to play any uncharted or Assassins Creed game with out learning something. A new sandbox element has been added to the game. To unlock a giant gate there are three points on a map to visit. In your own time and your choice of order. There is also a forth point of interest that isn’t crucial to the story but a fun treasure hunt with a very helpful reward. To help navigate around the map, the use of a jeep, it was underused in the main uncharted game. As soon as the the gate is open its an action packed adventure, forward through ancient Hindu forts, tombs, caves and jungle. Following the footsteps of previous uncharted titles there are a few set pieces of adrenaline pumping chases. Including scaling a mountain whilst being fired apone. Also a vehicle hopping race to the finish line on-board a burning train and exploding jeeps. I played through the game on hard just to get more of a challenge. On completion Crushing mode is unlocked. This adds to the replay value as well collecting all the hidden treasures. There is also access to the uncharted4 online multiplayer mode. It was definitely worth £30 9/10

Rule of thumb 👍 states. Never play a film 🎥 to video game 🕹 tie in unless you are prepared to waste money and are open to disappointment. Then there are the occasional exceptions like "Xmen Wolverine Origins" and "Terminator Salvation" which are perfectly ok 👌 titles. This game is not directly linked to films story line. Kinda in-between the first two. It could easily be placed between the 2nd n third. It almost feels like a TV episode. Which is fine, it gives you a sense of how the bond between Spoke and Kirk grew. For this outing a new enemy emerges, the Gorn (a very beefed up version). It plays as a decent 3rd person game. The control system is adequate offering climbing, cover shooting and a primitive upgrade system. Set pieces are fun, but not all of them gel. Drops and space jumps feel clumsy as do the swimming but offer a sense of false variety. It does offer none stop action and continues pace. There isn’t much time for cut scenes. Story is delivered on the fly. Unfortunately the graphics are tiered and dated but it is a ps3 title. So there is a level of forgiveness required. But it does feature the original casts voices, which helps keep you linked to the films 🎥. If you are a Star Trek fan and about to watch the film give this game a shot. 7/10
