  • Will GTA Online’s DLC Always Be Free?

    The immense success of Grand Theft Auto 5, both in terms of sales figures and revenue gained from recurrent spending, is something that has been the source of much analysis and discussion over the years.

  • Are Strategy Games the Last Bastion of Old-School Gaming?

    Strategy games demand patience and force the player to plan every move meticulously rather than just click in rapid succession. That’s one of the reasons why such titles are usually restricted to PC gaming. It’s hard to find a good online strategy to play on your phone – hard, but not impossible. From the earliest…

  • Nine Strange, Creepy and Disturbing Video Game Universes

    Video games leave nothing to the imagination. Unlike books that allow readers to imagine the details for themselves (except for some novels that excel at describing things in detail), games serve players with a pre-rendered, pre-imagined universe. Sometimes more realistic, other times creepy and weird, taking them on a trip without feeding them anything. Some…

  • Wind-up Knight 2 Review

    Wind-up Knight 2 ultimately winds down to a sputter, never truly exploring its interesting mechanics beyond the usual endless runner grind via pounding assault.

  • BOXBOXBOY! Review

    Despite some flaws, I couldn’t help but play BOXBOXBOY! with a smile on my face.

  • Flat Kingdom Review

    Flat Kingdom is a charming little platformer taking inspiration from the likes of Super Mario. It might not be original, but it sure is fun.

  • Leap of Fate Review

    Leap of Fate does appear to have found the recipe for addiction, if not success. Pick it up if you’d like a taste.

  • Moon Hunters Review

    I’ve never played a game as short as Moon Hunters. But then again, I’ve never played a game so many times, either.

  • BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend Review

    Even with my lack of BlazBlue knowledge I found BlazBlue Chronophantasma Extend to be a complex fighting game with beautiful character and level design, as well as multiple game modes to keep me thoroughly engaged.

  • H1Z1: King of the Kill Early Access Preview

    H1Z1: King of the Kill is definitely one of those games that makes me glad that fully sensory immersion virtual reality isn’t a thing. Gunshots and bloody feet aside, the running would do me in. King of the Kill is the spin-off of H1Z1 that encapsulates the old Battle Royale style of play in its…

  • Devil Daggers Review

    By Leo Powell This was not life, and yet it was not death; if thou hast wit to think how I might fare bereft of both, let fancy aid thy faith. Hell, Dante Alighieri (Canto XXXIV) Devil Daggers is the demon spawn of 90’s dark first person shooter Hexen, reborn as an arena shooter. A simple,…

  • That Dragon, Cancer Review

    Sometimes video games real life; they’re heartbreaking and devastating. If for no other reason than that, That Dragon, Cancer deserves your attention.

  • Will Full Cross-Platform Gaming Ever Be A Possibility?

    By Martin Blessing Cross-platform gaming. It’s something of a hot topic amongst gamers of today, and it certainly begs the question as to why a video game – or more specifically the online aspect of a video game – can’t work across multiple platforms. Looking at it from a gamer’s perspective, there’s certainly no reason…

  • Red Game Without A Great Name Review

    By Conor Bailey When a game can use a simplistic mechanic and get so much out of it, as well as carving out its own look and feel, it deserves credit. Red Game Without a Great Name (a unique name for certain) is such a game, delivering an easy to jump into 2D arcade side-scroller where…
