By Morgan Davies Back in the days of childhood, when almost every kid owned a tub of miniature army figures, they created a world of thrilling combat with just the power of imagination. Developers Virtual Basement bring this dream to life with their latest game The Mean Greens: Plastic Warfare, giving the static figurines free movement,…
By Conor Bailey It’s a fair assumption to say a lot of us have a love of dog-fighting in games, and we don’t nearly see much of it around in today’s games. Remembering the classics like Star Fox, space battles in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, or even the old WW2 fighter pilot games, there’s just…
When we think about Marvel superheroes in gaming, one rises above the rest in terms of prevalence: Spider-Man. Spider-Man has had a far greater presence in gaming than any other character from the comic book giant, unless you count up all of the various X-Men appearances over the years. One look at GamesRadar’s countdown of…
By David Haughton With XCOM 2 getting ever closer I feel its time to pay tribute to a series that tired to keep the XCOM style of game alive. One that blew my tiny little mind and paved the way open for games more complex than Mario. Way way back in the dark forgotten times…
Mordheim: City of the Damned is a superbly well-crafted game that fully achieves what it sets out to do.
I’d recommend giving Dirty Bomb a go if you enjoy class-based team shooters.
By Leo Powell What you think of Undertale is probably affected by whether or not you are a fan of old Japanese role playing games. It is undeniably the wry, cheeky offspring of the likes of Earthbound, and in some ways could even be interpreted as a bit of a dig at the genre. The…
By Morgan Davies Despite being over nine years old, Outerlight and Blazing Griffin’s The Ship: Murder Party is still going strong, with an active player base. An ambitious concept that aims to revolutionise the multiplayer experience, a remastered version is currently in development. Looking back at the original title, its seemingly low budget, aged aesthetics and unpolished gameplay…
Black and White Bushido is a solid party game that, although not really breaking new ground, achieves what it sets out to do very well.
By Daniel Courtney The predecessor to the much-loved cult favourite System Shock 2, and direct inspiration behind games like the Deus Ex and Bioshock series, System Shock is finally available on GoG after 21 years of legal purgatory. For those utterly unaware of the game, System Shock is the magnum opus of Looking Glass Studios;…
Cast of the Seven Godsends pays homage to classic arcade side-scrollers complete with over the top gameplay, a surplus of enemies and awesome upgrades.
By David Haughton Okay nerds, let’s quickly get this out the way so we can talk about the game. Yes, Age of Sigmar is rustling people’s jimmies, some to a more… firey degree than others. So hopefully the recent slew of “classic” Warhammer Fantasy will satiate your bloodlust. Whether or not Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide can be…
I have to be honest: Rainbow Six Siege wasn’t the most fun game.
By Joshua Yeldham-Smith “War games, what are they good for?” …Learning Trigonometry! Monty Python once asked: “What have the Romans ever done for us?.” What has war ever done for us? “Technology”… besides that… “communication”… yeah, and?… “cultural and social liberation, integration and hegemony”… okay, but what about the… isn’t that just a vicious… “some…
By Leo Powell Following the Zeitgeist of the weird, not-quite-a-game-but-still-a-game logic that fuels the likes of Goat Simulator and The Path, I stumbled across a 4chan thread about a theoretical game in which you would play as a street lamp: “> All choices are resolved by doing lamp post things. God I want this game.” Having hashed…
By Conor Bailey Star Wars games have always had a special place in the hearts of gamers. It’s very, very hard not to name a great Star Wars game. Battlefront, Rogue Squadron, Jedi Knight and Jedi Outcast. One of the most revered of these titles is the original Knights of the Old Republic, an RPG which…
By Biagio Ruggiero Since the year 2000, Creative Assembly have been showing us history in its most brutal form. From the Roman to the French empires, the Total War series has given players the opportunity to live through the most glorious and most turbulent times in human history. Even now, after 10+ years playing the Total…
Something of a pixelated oddity, Dropsy is a point and click adventure that bases its gameplay around compassion and beauty in a world that has none.
Despite its release three years ago on PlayStation 3 and recent remaster to PlayStation 4, Journey continues to immerse its players in a way that is unique to other games.
By Josh Patterson It’s actually a little hard to believe that Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, a sequel long whispered about among fans of the franchise but never truly believed in, is now set to land on shelves in February of the coming year. Yet nevertheless here it comes, vaulting over the heads of the other FPS…
