Apparently, Jenna needs some driving practice. So being the responsible and caring husband he is, Diggy’s took it upon himself to make sure she gets that practice in the best and most efficient way possible: by playing Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, of course! Who can resist a bit of Sega-themed karting action? (Jenna, apparently.)…
If Microsoft’s PR department is to be believed, Halo and Gears of War are the video game franchises that defined the last two generations of console shooters. It’s difficult to deny their influence – I mean, before Halo came along, shooters used to be varied, exciting and tense. Before Gears of War was released, shooters…
Adventure Lamp is a 2D indie puzzle-platformer scheduled for release on PC in Spring 2016. Though the preview is short and fails to showcase any properly interesting puzzles, the potential of this charming little game was made very clear, and is something you should certainly be keeping your eye on for the future. In Adventure…
Of all the different protagonists we’ve controlled since the dawn of gaming, some have been blank “player projection” types, some have been badly written and downright annoying, but some characters are so sympathetic and likeable that we’ll remember them forever. While it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the classic arcade characters like…
Today’s Wife Lessons with Diggy isn’t just about Diggy tutoring Jenna through torturous levels of games she hates. Oh no. Today’s Wife Lessons is about teamwork and communication and all those other very exciting co-operative buzz words you hear a lot from Lord Sugar on The Apprentice. For today, GameSpewers, Diggy and Jenna must work together. The…
We love Dark Souls at GameSpew. We love it so much we’ve written endless features on why it’s the best game ever. Surely, everyone loves Dark Souls, right? Diggy certainly does. But what about Jenna? Oh… Apparently Dark Souls was the game that inspired Diggy and Jenna to create their Wife Lessons series; one of Diggy’s…
Last week it was Steelport, and this week it’s the deepest, darkest reaches of space. In this week’s Wife Lessons With Diggy, Jenna’s gotta play FTL: Faster Than Light. Subset Games’ popular FTL: Faster Than Light isn’t a game for everybody. It’s especially not a game for Jenna, but in the spirit of Wife Lessons With…
Last week, Jenna told us that Saints Row IV was a “mindless and pointless” game that “attacks her senses”. Yet somehow through its crazy character creation and ridiculous plot, we reckon she found it pretty entertaining, deep down. Picking up from where they left off last week, Diggy continues to make Jenna play more Saints Row IV. Will the…
“When did we stop distrusting the ad men? It has apparently been deeply ingrained in me from the earliest age possible: ‘Be sceptical of the street salesmen’, my subconscious tells me, ‘the estate agents, the people who want your money’. But it seems there are still plenty of people who will happily throw their hard-earned cash…
If you’ve ever seen them play car football on Top Gear, then you already know exactly what Rocket League is. In control of a supercharged car, you’ve got to whizz and skid around a football field and try to get an oversized football through the goalpost. A sequel to Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, Rocket League…
Diggy and Jenna continue where they left off last week with more riotous, sweary, zombie-killing action in Left 4 Dead 2. In case you missed last week’s episode, GameSpew’s own Diggy B has roped his wife Jenna into playing some games that she REALLY doesn’t want to play. Wife Lessons with Diggy is a brand new…
GameSpew’s own Diggy B has roped his wife Jenna into playing some games that she REALLY doesn’t want to play. Wife Lessons with Diggy is a brand new weekly video series where Jenna plays through a section of a different game every week… under Diggy’s “expert” tuition. This week, it’s Left 4 Dead 2. Expect…
Born from the Rezzed 2013 gamejam and recently released on Steam, Tango Fiesta strives to condense the entirety of 80’s action film into a single co-op arcade shooter. While playing with mates can be a barrel of dumb fun, the barrel is slightly rotted and unstable, and it’s full of annoying splinters that stick in…
Based on a true story, Cross of the Dutchman is a historical action-adventure game recently released on PC via Steam, Humble and other distribution platforms. While the gameplay mechanics may not be looking to cause a revolution, the charm of this little game comes from its creative exploration of the life of a Frisian folk…
I’m afraid I need to get something off my chest, something that’s been slowly bubbling away in the back of my mind for years, but that I’ve only quite recently come to fully recognise. This won’t be easy to hear, and lord knows it’s difficult to say, but… I don’t really like the Grand Theft…
You may knead to sit down for this, bake a seat. Are you bready? Because I Am Bread is self-raising the bar for comedy indie games everywhere. A must have for all you bun-loving gamers, it may get hard but at yeast getting through it is something to toast about! (Almost all puns taken from…
The vast majority of reviews (not just for video games but also for films, books and albums), include some kind of numerical score. Whether it’s out of five, 10 or 100, for some of us it’s the only part of a review we’re even bothered about. But how much sense does it really make for this…
Films, games, books, TV, clothing ranges, public events, themed cruises and theme parks; just like if the dead truly were to rise, there’s just no escaping zombies. But why on earth did they get so fashionable? The saturation of the undead in popular culture these days has me asking only one question: Why won’t zombies…
You know how it is – you work all night, and when you work you don’t feel all right. And when things stop feeling all right (and everything is all right), some douchebag neighbour has a party going at 3 a.m. that’s keeping you awake! Well we’ve all been there, but in Party Hard you…
While AAA developers treat their audience like they have the attention span of a sugar-fuelled toddler, it’s the developers that know the meaning and value of contrast and immersion through careful pacing in games that provide the most engaging experiences. It’s an occurrence that’s becoming distressingly frequent – the opening titles of a new game fills…
