What friends are for. Lubiterum Game Studio wanted to create a party game you could pick up and play with your mates, score points, have a laugh and blow things up. There’s no logic; it’s a pixellated brawler with an emphasis on having fun. And in many respects they’ve succeeded. I played Crazy Pixel Streaker with fellow…
During Sony’s E3 2016 conference, we were treated to a very vague and completely perplexing teaser trailer for Hideo Kojima’s first game under his own label, Kojima Productions. Starring Norman Reedus, we’ve heard that Death Stranding is going to be a surreal action-adventure… but really we still don’t know anything. Or do we? Let’s look so far into Hideo Kojima’s…
10/10 grass physics. We all knew this was coming, but no-one expected to be so taken aback by the majesty of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Link can now scale mountains and towering ancient structures; He can grab an axe and chop down trees to scramble across chasms; He can grab a…
Team Ninja’s latest trailer for Dark Souls-like Nioh lets us know that we’ll be dying frequently. Flashes of intense combat with bosses and beasts in all new environments, main protagonist William eventually comes face to face with an evil samurai who’s surprised – and maniacally happy – to see him. We’re informed towards the end of the trailer…
We got our first look at For Honor’s solo campaign. Starting off with a CGI trailer we moved swiftly onto a brutal viking siege on an enormous samurai stronghold. There were many intense one on one battles, and our hulking viking bludgeoned everyone in his path with his massive two-handed axe. Eventually we’d barged through enough enemies…
The Cringe Crew set sail on the Seven Seas. Rare gave us our first tantalising glimpse of Sea of Thieves gameplay, as a bunch of landlubbers played co-operatively in what seems to be a huge – and rather beautiful – treasure filled universe. We saw them down tankards of drink and stumble, tipsily on board a…
Rod Fergusson of The Coalition came on stage to tell us about Gears of War 4. But before we were hit with some punchy gameplay, we were left reeling from Xbox Play Anywhere. I’m still trying to calm down… With Xbox Play Anywhere, games such as Gears of War 4 will be released simultaneously for Xbox…
It’s not just a mouse I’m gently resting my fingertips on, oh no, it’s a bloody Death Adder. Having painfully contorted my hand for a year using a miniscule ASUS laptop mouse, I eventually succumbed to temptation and bought myself a £20 Red Dragon gaming mouse. I thought I’d hit the jackpot as I crooned…
The one without the date. Bethesda gave a little briefing just before the conference kicked in, with this screen showing a bunch of files. Note the Wolfenstein chronology taking us from Wolfenstein 3D through to the latest Wolfenstein offerings: New Order and Old Blood. Wait what’s that? New Colossus? We know Machine Games are likely to…
Classic arena combat and class-based badassery. Bethesda didn’t hang about – well apart from some questionable banter for 15 minutes – and went straight in with a visceral trailer for a brand new Quake. It’ll be class-based, featuring a bunch of champions with unique abilities, whilst combat will be targeted towards e-sports and provide plenty…
Jade Raymond returns, grins, and then says EA are making Star Wars things. EA seem to be working with Respawn, Criterion, Visceral, Dice and more on an array of Star Wars games, and that’s all I could ascertain from a rather drive-by trailer. She did confirm that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Battlefront in…
The Paragon Essentials Edition is a special edition that’s only available at retail exclusively for PS4. Developed by Epic Games – known for the Gears of War franchise – Paragon is a third-person MOBA for PC and PS4 that’s in paid early access right now, that’ll go free to play in open beta sometime this summer. It’s…
Guerilla Games has delayed their open-world-mecha-dino adventure for the PS4, pushing its release back to February 28th, 2017. According to the developers, it needs the extra time to live up to the “ambitious vision” for the title. Fair enough, it’s not a huge delay, and I’d rather they take time to polish off the robotic…
Inspired by SNES classic Chrono Trigger and ticking all the classic JRPG boxes, I Am Setsuna is coming to PSN and PC on July 19th. Touted as a “Classic RPG for modern times” we’ll protect a girl called Setsuna as we travel across a vast snowy continent. It’s far from a frolick with friends and…
Shaking, palms lacquered with a coat of sweat, I set my controller down and slowly ran my hands through my hair. Cheeks gradually deflating due to a sudden decrease in pressure, I went to stand up, but wilted, and sank back into my creaking chair. I was on the brink of collapse, but I’d done…
Bethesda released some sumptuous screenshots of Dishonored 2, check them out here.
I blast a prison officer with my shotgun and his body erupts, forming a shower of limbs and dismembered bits that fly into the air and abruptly land with a squelch by my feet. As the blood clears from my screen, my character calls him a “Dildo head!” with all the force of a pre-pubescent…
We’re transported to a tropical paradise in the latest trailer for Pokémon Sun and Moon.
It’s the biggest DLC Bethesda have ever created, and it’s the one everyone’s been waiting for. Check out the brand new trailer here.
Dark Souls III pulls you into its grasp and coils itself around you. It plunges you into a world that’s crumbled into ruin, as ash crunches under hollowed foot and undead worship ancient wyverns long perished. Progression suffocates as Dark Souls III constricts, granting you passage into its lair before cutting off your oxygen supply. …
