Dangerous Golf features around one hundred different mini golf holes with hugely destructible objects across a variety of locations including a china shop, bathroom, gas station and much more.
Josh said: “It’s basically Burnout’s Crash mode but with mini-golf! The inclusion of a party mode with online and offline multiplayer will mean it gets tons of use with the family and friends. The developers are ex-Criterion so quality expectations are high.”

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is an open-world action-adventure game being developed by EA DICE. It is a Reboot of 2008’s Mirror’s Edge that will focus on Faith’s origin.
Ewan said: “I’ve waited a long time for this. The original Mirror’s Edge was one of the most memorable games I played last generation; it combined innovative gameplay mechanics with an intriguing setting and cast of characters. It really nailed fast, fluid, free-running gameplay in a 3D space and I think the game has a lot to gain from the upgraded hardware the current generation. Hopefully the plot’s a little more coherent, the mecahnics refined and the wait worthwhile.”
Mehdi said: “The first Mirror’s Edge has always been the type of game where I see a lot of potential, but there are still a lot of rough edges to be taken care of. Mirror’s Edge Catalyst from what I’ve played so far is exactly the game I wanted a few years ago, and DICE has done a great job at making a game that caters to both new and existing fans.”

Whilst the game will quite similar to previous games in the Lego gaming series, there will be new systems introduced such as multi-builds. The game will also introduce cover mechanics and ranged battles called “Blaster Battles”. In addition to telling the story of the film, it will also bridge the gap between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens which is definitely the most exciting thing about the game.
Sarah said: “LEGO games have a pretty good track record when it comes to delivering a nostalgic and fun experience. With the promise of unique storylines, such as finding out how Han and Chewie captured the Rathtar, I’m excited to see how LEGO tackles The Force Awakens.”
Kevin said: “Lego Star Wars: while I’ve never been a huge fan of the Lego games, the charming humour and writing always elicits laughs from me and I’m very keen to revisit the wonderful worlds that The Force Awakens built.”
