The Crew is an entertaining and fun game, but it has an expiration date due to the lack of variety. The more hours let the giant mapping United States, more will come out their flaws and weaknesses and before I leave forgotten. It's a shame because its social component and its proposal are fun and original, but is poorly implemented, especially as important as controlling cars or physical failures. Not a bad game, but it's true that you could make much more. It has the basis to improve faults and become one of the most important sagas of arcade driving, but it all depends on Ubisoft.

Eurogamer: "Elite was the first game I ever dreamed about. It was a recurring dream, the sort of woozy loop of mental debris that stubbornly lodges in your mind for nights on end. In the dream, I was forever spiralling slowly towards the rotating white outline of a rectangle in an ink black void. Every time, as I got within touching distance of the rectangle, I'd be out of sync with its rotation and the dream would reset, starting the whole claustrophobic descent all over again."

Nick Ballantyne at GameCloud Australia writes: "...30 god damn hours. It played more like a farming arcade simulator than a true simulation, and its core gameplay consisted primarily of waiting, but there was something enjoyable buried deep within it. I look back on it now and wonder how I got through it, but I suppose there were a few redeeming qualities. They werent enough for me to recommend this game to anyone you hold dear or respect enough not to threaten their lives with boredom and self-loathing, but its not a complete mess either. Its certainly playable; theres a modicum of satisfaction to be found, but so little of it is enjoyable that I cant fathom any reason to recommend it beyond the fact that it exists. Only buy it if you reeeeeeeaally like farming."

Come with us, as we look at what we know about EVE Valkyrie currently, and why we're excited to play this game in 2015. Valkyrie is often spoken about in the same sentences as Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen and other Space Sim games, but differs in a very significant way: It is a pure Dogfighting Sim, putting it perhaps closer to War Thunder and its ilk. Where the other games allow players to make a name for themselves by roaming around in space, mining asteroids, and do other sandbox-spacey things, Valkyrie seems to be focused on Arena-style dogfights, in limited instances.
