The Precinct

You are Officer Nick Cordell Jr. As a rookie beat cop fresh out of the Academy, who’s on the front line of defence for Averno’s citizens. Dive into a world of thrilling car chases, procedurally-generated crimes, and a healthy dose of 1980s noir as you protect the populace and solve the mystery of your father’s murder in the line of duty.

I knew nothing about his game and this was the games first showing anywhere.

Simple to get into and addictive to play, this was one I thoroughly enjoyed playing in the short time I was allowed. Combat was fluid, smooth and tactile as I made my way through waves of enemies. This will be a hit with the Like a Dragon fans and new comers alike. It’s coming to all major platforms in 8th November 2023.

Its first playable demo was an immense hit with myself, with its fun racing and gorgeous graphics, I fell in love with it almost immediately.

Number 07

Silence of the Siren

This turn-based sci-fi strategy game, combines exploration and exciting clashes on the battlefield. Take control over several different species, raise powerful armies and destroy your opponents!

This is an all-new take on classic 2D Sonic high-speed action platforming. Play as Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy Rose and harness all-new Emerald powers to move and attack in dynamic new ways. Navigate gorgeous, never-before-seen environments solo or with up to 3 other players and stop Dr. Eggman, Fang, and a mysterious new adversary from converting the islands' giant animals into Badniks before it's too late!

With previous sonic games failing to hit the right audience, I was hesitant at playing the demo. However if like me you are a sonic fan, this was soon put to rest and Sega have finally managed to hit that perfect blend of nostalgia, whilst infusing new elements. This left me with the biggest grin on my face and one I would recommend, newcomers and old alike to play.
