We all know what originally made Max mad, but now he
has even more reason to be crotchety. That War Boys
mob, under the direction of Immortan Joe’s psycho son
Scabrous Scrotus, has hijacked all of his stuff – including
his prized Interceptor! Teaming up with maestro
mechanic Chumbucket, he gets behind the wheel of the
Magnum Opus and scours the wasteland in search of
food, water, petrol, upgrades and, of course, a certain
Ford. Obviously he’ll meet opposition in his travels, but
with vehicular combat the main order of the day, he’s
well-equipped. After all, they can take his blood, but not
his bloody car!

If you’re an Xbox acolyte and a petrolhead, there are
two syllables that can induce drooling – ‘For’ and ‘za’.
After the super-impressive fifth iteration, creators Turn
10 have somehow managed to go bigger, harder, faster,
more, and rev way past the red line – without blowing
the whole thing sky high. Some 450 cars (with added
shininess) at launch, 26 tracks (Bathurst and 25 others
– including 10 new ones) and real wet weather racing,
where hitting a massive puddle at a great rate of knots
can see you aquaplaning fence-wards, are just the
beginning. The Stig’s digital cousin from
Top Gear
also
returns, although Jeremy Clarkson is curiously absent...

Look out! There’s a Snake in the grass... and in several
other devious places. Yes, the master of sneakiness
himself, Punished ’Venom’ Snake, aka Big Boss, aka
the daddy of Solid, Liquid and Solidus, is back. Well,
more specifically he’s back in 1984. Following on from
last year’s demo of things to come,
Ground Zeroes
, this
one has a sizeable real time open world that takes a
tour from Afghanistan to Africa, as our gruff protagonist
seeks vengeance on those who destroyed his team –
and almost him. As is tradition, players are encouraged
to take the non-lethal route. But hey, if you’re feeling
frisky you can of course lay down the lethality.
