Hitman seems to get better with every release and that’s especially the case with Episode 4. It’s set in Bangkok, in a hotel like Episode 3 but there’s a different feel this time. The Himmapan resort may lack the size and scope of Sapienza in Episode 3 but it boasts plenty of problem solving and murderous mayhem within its walls. We were expecting more of a build up to the storyline but it’s fairly straightforward and it shows the developers could be running out of ideas. The gameplay hasn’t changed an awful lot, in fact it’s been refined, meaning some kills seem a little easier, but the visuals are spectacular and even though the story is quite weak, you’ll be hooked like you were with all of the other Hitman games. This one is definitely worth a buy in our books, but be warned you may complete it very quickly indeed.

Pokémon Go offers the perfect blend of nostalgia and new technology. Many 90’s and 00’s kids will remember the characters, theme tune and card game, but the popularity goes beyond one generation. You only have to drive into your local town centre to spot people of all ages playing Pokémon, so why is it so popular?

Well, it’s the start of something very exciting; Augmented reality. Let’s not mislead you here, Augmented reality (AR) is not something new; it has been used for years in the military and for navigation systems. What makes Pokémon Go novel is that AR has gone mainstream for the first time. We’re experiencing an important moment in history. Many of us will remember the first time we played Mario, the first time Game Boys were available in colour and we’ll certainly remember the moment we’re living right now. There’s no doubt this will be the start of something huge.

I love going to the arcade, there’s something about it. I’m not sure if it’s the smell of cola and popcorn or the flashing lights, but there’s something you get at an arcade that you just don’t get at home on the PS4 or Xbox 360. I often play Mario cart at the arcades, and with the cool seats, built in speakers, large HD screen it really can’t be beaten. At an arcade you get the whole package, but the only downside is that it’s £1 to play a game, when you can play a game freely at home for hours!

I don’t think the popularity of the arcade will go though; we’re instinctively drawn to it whether we’re visiting the seaside or the movie theatre. And unless you create a similar environment in your home, it simply won’t be beaten by your console, TV and sofa.

It’s a bit of a niche market nowadays, renting games online. Some companies provide games for you to play and send back, at terrific prices i must say, and with the renting giants now all but finished, it’s great to see some small companies surviving. As games become more advanced, they get a little dearer, and now before buying a brand new game, you have think carefully about the price. It’s not like the god old days when you can buy three cool games at age 14 and then have enough money to buy a cherry coke and a bus ride home. You’re now looking at around £50 a game, and that’s why a certain rental market is doing pretty well right now. Games can be sent out pretty quickly, and for those who like to complete it within the space of a few days, it’s a great idea.
