I’m exploring a dark and damp cave. My flashlight is barely providing me any light. Finally after climbing out of the cave I see sunlight. Outside I can see trees and green grass. I sprint out of the cave and run right into a rhino. He lets out a loud and heavy grunt and then […]
How long can a series continue to release a new game every year? How long before you tire fans out or run out of ideas? Last year’s Call of Duty: Ghosts seemed to be a stumble for the series. Reviews were mediocre and sales slumped compared to previous entries. Now Sledgehammer has the task of […]
From the moment you start the game, Alien: Isolation makes damn well sure you know that you are playing a game that has been tailored by people who truly love the saga of the infamous Xenomorph. From the initial VHS style opening to the ambiguous, unnerving menu screen, it is apparent that Ridley Scott’s classic […]
When Shinji Mikami was revealed to be working within the horror genre once again it got a lot of people excited. And rightly so. The man has worked on arguably the two greatest horror games of all time as the director of both Resident Evil Remake, and my personal favorite, Resident Evil 4. Which brings […]
There isn’t much “Disney” going on in Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Superheroes. Which, undoubtedly, could be a harsh miscalculation on Avalanche Software’s side of things. The promise of a soon to be released Toy Box starter pack focusing on beloved Disney characters (Stitch and Merida, among others) but with absolutely no play-set content doesn’t help […]

On the side though, there’s this second alternative narrative of licensed games. Releases that take their […]
FIFA is a big game for me every year. It is a franchise that I totally buy into being a big soccer (football for us Brits) fan and look forward to getting it in the fall every year. This year brings a host of new changes which should hopefully improve the series. Read on to find […]
A lot of expectations were set for Bungie’s first original game since they were done with the Halo series. Destiny on paper is an ambitious game mixing in Bungie’s signature combat and storytelling with elements from MMOs and loot-based RPGs. The hype was definitely at a high by the time the alpha and beta came […]
No Going Back is an apt title for the Season 2 finale of Telltale’s The Walking Dead. With the last episode being the worst in the entire series, there was a lot riding on this finale for me. Season 3 had already been announced and I was beginning to question whether I was still on […]
CounterSpy might be one of the most visually striking games I’ve played this year. It is also filled with some really solid and interesting ideas and some fantastic music. But there are also some elements that feel less developed in this somewhat short sidescrolling stealth game. The basic setup of CounterSpy is that two superpowers […]
