We have had a severe lack of arcade, street-style sports games recently thanks to the massive market share of the big AAA sports simulation games. FIFA, Madden and NBA’s prowess is undeniable in the sports scene at the moment and none of the big series have any smaller, street-style sub-series. 3on3 Freestyle is here to…
Variable State’s recently released cinematic adventure Virginia is, in many ways, as perplexing as it is believable. A story that begins with immediate disconnect, introduces us into a world we can understand – and as soon we begin the realisation of what this surrealist fantasy is, it pulls the rug from beneath the player. Virginia…
After the wealth of RPGs we received last year, 2016 is feeling a little light for some RPG fans. This is a much larger problem for those who prefer “the good old days” of classic isometric role-playing games with the few we actually obtain. 2015’s Pillars of Eternity was an amazing return to form and…
Frictional Games’ survival horror SOMA has sold over 450,000 copies, revealed in a developer blog. Six months ago, when SOMA’s sales figures were only half that, the company had not yet broke even on its development costs. Today, Frictional games were happy to report that “we have now broken even and then some!” The sci-fi…
Rocket League, otherwise known as the game that just keeps giving and giving, is receiving another free map in October. As with all maps, it will be completely free to all users and two DLC cars will also be available if you want to support Psyonix through monetary means. The map (and cars) are themed…
Is it just me or does Dishonored 2 seem to be getting another trailer. Every. Single. Week? Does it matter though? Dishonored 2 looks like it is shaping up to be one of the best games of the year (if we haven’t seen it all by then). In today’s new trailer we get to see…
There was a little outrage last week when Valve changed how customer reviews show and affect the overall rating of a game on Steam. The algorithm was tweaked so that only copies of the game bought of Steam affected the score – meaning that keys acquired from other stores or directly from the developer, say…
Remember Sniper Elite? That series famous for its oddly beautiful depictions of shooting someone’s testicles off? Rebellion Developments learned pretty quickly that who better to shoot the testicle off of than Adolf Hitler himself. Now, you can do it again… in another Sniper Elite game… again as a pre-order bonus. If you don’t pre-order the…
Gears of War 4 may not be releasing for another three weeks but that doesn’t stop Microsoft from giving it a launch trailer. In the trailer we see a much older Marcus Fenix narrating the events that take place before the beginning of The Coalition’s anticipated title. This is of course the first Gears of…
Well, I say another hero shooter. Really, we have only had two (released) notable titles in the genre, Battleborn and the ever-so slightly more popular Overwatch. Still, as is the common Blizzard effect, Overwatch on its own is enough to stagnate the genre for everything but itself. In comes Paladins, the new hero shooter from…
Another year, another Call of Duty. The developers have however been promising to be shaking things up this year; it’s Infinity Ward’s first COD game in three years, the series is going fully futuristic and you will be up against Game of Thrones’ Jon Snow and MMA fighter Conor McGregor. The new trailer, showing off…
With the release of Battlefield 1 just over a month away, EA have made all expansion packs for Battlefield 4 available for absolutely nothing. The game itself isn’t free but does often go on sale for only £5 so it may be a good idea to pick up these expansions anyway – even if you…
You don’t get many pure stealth games nowadays. Most have opted for a system where you can play how you want – whether it be sneaky or “shooty”. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can shoot your way through the whole of Hitman or Thief;Â rather, if you do get caught being sneaky you can shoot…
Resident Evil 7’s demo – which is still unfortunately exclusive to Playstation 4 – has received a 3GB update adding new content. Those who never downloaded the original are free to download it now on the Playstation Store with no Playstation Plus required. The demo has been generally very well received for taking Resident Evil…
Ubisoft just couldn’t go a year without an Assassin’s Creed game could they? Thankfully Assassin’s Creed The Ezio Collection bundles together what many people consider the peak of the franchise – namely the second and third titles – when Patrice Désilets was at the helm of the series. The collection includes Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood…
Classic zombie beat ’em up Dead Rising 1 is now available on Steam. The game originally released for Xbox 360 precisely a decade ago (give or take a week) and now PC players get to experience the wacky fun too. The even better news is that early reports are saying the PC port is absolutely…
Playstation 4’s latest big firmware update, 4.00, is now released in all regions. The update has been in beta phase for a little over a month now and includes a new quick menu, folders and the recently revealed HDR compatibility. A quick rundown of the biggest features include: Improved quick menu – The quick menu…
Titanfall, the series well known for its movement, guns and… well… titans is getting a mobile card game. It’s definitely not what I expected from a Titanfall spin-off game – did we even need a spin-off game? “Titanfall Frontline” doesn’t have too many details on exactly how it plays or when it releases yet but…
Everyone remember The Last Guardian? That game that has been in development since 2007 and was meant to release exclusively for the Playstation 3 in 2011? Then after disappearing into development hell for four years was re-revealed last year? How we finally got a release date for October 25, 2016? Yes, well, it’s been delayed…
A video game can be bad for a lot of reasons. It may have clunky controls, poor animations or bad graphical quality. Sometimes it may just have bad optimisation with numerous technical issues or bad UI. Unfortunately, Shiny is all of these things. From a general perspective it could have quite good – a Shiny…
