Rob reviews Warhammer 40,000: Darktide on Xbox Series X… After being delayed for just over a year, Swedish developer Fatshark has finally released Darktide on to consoles. With a completely revamped skill tree, and plenty of under the hood changes, the console release is essentially the definitive version of the Astra Militarum shooter. So with a bulk of Nurgle Cultists standing in the way, I said a silent prayer to the Emperor and jumped into the fray.  As a Warhammer 40K fan, Darktide ticked quite a few boxes. While I gravitate to the Adeptus Astartes, playing at the Militarum did make a nice change of pace. As for plot Darktide spins it’s narrative into a self contained story away from the current story that’s currently building in the table-tops tenth edition.

While  she gets the normal haul of gifts from me & her Mum, and her Grandparents, my brothers - and family friends - often opt to give her cash instead. Now 14 she’s heading into the territory of more complex board games and as such with her birthday cash she came home today with a copy of Five Nights At Freddy’s: Survive Until 6AM Security Breach Edition that she picked up in our local HMV.  Of course it wasn’t long before we sat down to play it, and after recently finishing the video game of FNAF: Security Breach - we were both eager to venture back to the Freddy Fazbear Pizzaplex. But did we survive?  Created by Funko, FNAF: Survive Until 6AM Security Breach Edition is a simple card game that’s a spin-off to the original ‘Survive Until 6AM’ title. Themed around Security Breach, up to two players need to sur...
