  Battlefield 1

  Battlefield 1 was a game-changer this year, the choice to go all the way back to 1918 and the First World War resulted in an absolutely mind-blowing game which had poignancy as well as fun-factor.

  We were blown away by the incredible narrative that showed us different perspectives of war and gave it such a human element as well as being so much fun to play, especially in multiplayer. Seriously a game you need to experience.

  DOOM

  The return of DOOM was never going to be a quiet affair, it did not disappoint on that front.

  Shooting space demons in the face became our obsession back in May, with the super-addictive multiplayer allowing players to become the demon in death matches. DOOM was a real next-gen reboot, it was updated but it didn't lose any of the charm it's always had, huge guns, demons and rock music Is what life is all about on the UAC.

With an incredible range of over 350 cars to choose from and some of the most spectacular locations Australia's Gold Coast has to offer, Forza Horizon 3 was a racing game for everyone, from hard-core street racers to off-road warriors.
