Poor little Willy. With his father as his only friend, all he longs for in life is a bit of wonder; a bit of excitement to help break the tedium of helping out on the farm. When the circus rolls by one day he is overjoyed: finally, for a brief moment he can feel a…
The UK’s biggest video game expo, EGX, has just passed. Along with showing off some of the biggest AAA pre-releases around, there were also hundreds of amazing indie titles being showcased too.

Everyone’s favourite beat ’em up returns next year with a brand new numbered instalment, and it’s certainly shaping up to not disappoint. Our brief hands-on had us fighting with fan favourites such as Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li, as well as the lesser known Birdie and new character Necalli. As you would hope, the fighting is…
Due to be released on 5 November, we got the chance for a quick hands-on with the new Need for Speed title at EGX, and I have to say we were left very impressed. Able to select from a small but impressive range of cars, including a Porsche and Mustang, we were given a chance…
Fishing; it’s a boring sport, if you can call it that. It’s a largely futile exercise that pits man against fish – a game that sees the hopeful angler dangling their rod over various bodies of water in the hope that something will nibble on their bait. Thanks to Dynamite Fishing: World Games however, I’ve…
I love goats. For some reason the combination of their trendy little beards, serial killer eyes and cool pointy horns makes them ever so endearing to me. They’re also ever vilified, being typically associated with the devil and historically blamed for all sorts of ill-fortune, which makes me like them even more. I mean, everyone…
Do you own a Limited Edition copy of the original Destiny release? Have you used the codes for the expansion pass and Vanguard Armory yet? For many of you the answer to both these question will be yes, but for those of you that have purchased the Limited Edition but are yet to redeem their…
When it comes to driving sims on consoles, there’s only ever really the one option: Gran Turismo if you own a PlayStation, or Forza if you own an Xbox. Well, that was at least until cross-platform Project Cars entered the fray, which is currently the only serious racing game on PlayStation 4. On Xbox One however,…
The Tokyo Game Show is upon us, and Sony have wasted no time in unveiling a whole host of great looking titles set to come to PlayStation 4. Here’s 10 titles that we think you should look out for: 10. Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps Good news: Were getting a new Resident Evil game. Bad news:…
“As I picked myself up, all I could hear was the ceaseless drone of traffic. Life went on around me, but the explosion was to change my life, forever”. These words, spoken by the blonde-haired American George Stobbart at the beginning of 1996’s Broken Sword will probably stick will me until the day I die….
Featuring a cast of scantily clad girls, armed to the teeth with blades, chainsaws and knuckle dusters, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos gives you just one objective: beat the crap out of an entire army of the undead. Zombies, werewolves, vampires, gargoyles; they’re all here, waiting for you to dispatch them with style, their corpses erupting in a…
Last Tuesday saw the release of what for many will probably be the game of the year, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. The latest entry in the highly regarded Metal Gear series, it was undoubtedly hyped beyond measure thanks to a constant barrage of media coverage about the game itself and the apparent…
As a launch title for the ill-fated WiiU, ZombiU was a pleasant surprise. Combining first person action adventure with strong survival horror elements, it was a solid game that made great use of the WiiU’s unique features and also a bold release for a platform holder known for its family-orientated titles. Unfortunately, like the console…
With what appears to be a bit of a FMV game renaissance going on the moment, gracing us with great titles such as Her Story and Contradiction that show the genre still has a lot to offer, Missing: An Interactive Thriller – Episode 1 hopes to grab the attention of gamers and take them on…
I have to admit, despite being intrigued by the rather promising trailer I didn’t expect much from Layers of Fear going into it. Developed by Bloober Team, creators of the A-Men games on PlayStation Vita and the Bomberman-esque Basement Crawl and Brawl for PlayStation 4, I didn’t think they’d have the experience to make a solid…
Always treat others as you would like to be treated yourself, that what was always drummed into me as a child. It’s also the message that I believe The Deer God tries to impress upon you, in its own ham-fisted (or should that be venison-fisted?) way. But whilst morality does play quite a large role…
“Bob has narcolepsy,” Back to Bed informs you, via one of its many wondrous pieces of art interspersed between its 30 levels. If I was Bob though, I’d be less worried about my narcolepsy and more concerned about the vivid Salvador Dali-esque dreams I’m having. You see, Bob sleepwalks in his dreams, and when they…
Renowned as one of the greatest game franchises of all time, Mega Man crashes onto current-gen consoles and PC in this collection of NES releases from 1987 to 1993. With six games for you to blast through as the Blue Bomber, is Mega Man Legacy Collection worthy of your cash? Maybe. But only if you’re…
Whilst many still see games as child’s play – an activity that just wastes our time and our minds chasing for high scores – us gamers know that they have evolved to become one of, if not the most absorbing and powerful entertainment mediums available. Not only that, but with the right creative input, they…
So, as an avid PlayStation 4 owning adventurer you’ve completed The Witcher 3, seen all it has to offer, and still have a craving for more gritty open world action. What title do you turn to next? There’s not much choice really aside from the disappointingly dull Elder Scrolls Online and the decidedly average Arcania:…
