First Impressions: Nerf Legends
The FPS genre is massive, but in general it tends to skew towards an older audience – after all, going around shooting stuff in a violent manner tends to be […]
News: Aliens: Fireteam Elite – Steam Player Numbers Dip Below 1000
Sad news reported at Kotaku Australia: just seven weeks after a relatively successful launch, which saw player numbers around a healthy 10k – despite numerous bugs and missing features (such […]
Review: Aliens: Fireteam Elite
The last time a game based on Aliens was released for computers and consoles, we got the absolutely disastrous Aliens: Colonial Marines from Gearbox and Sega. A buggy, derivative, just […]
Review: Far Cry 3: Classic Edition
UbiSoft’s open world formula – with the most familiar and overused elements being towers revealing environments strewn with various collectables, represented by bewildering arrays of icons on map screens – […]
Preview: Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Video games based on the ever-popular Aliens franchise have been a mixed bunch, despite the premise put forth in the movies, particularly 1986’s Aliens, being absolutely perfect for gaming. At […]
Preview: Farm Mechanic Simulator
The world of simulator games used to be incredibly niche; back in the days when video games were looked down upon by the general public, even gamers themselves would often […]
Opinion: Next Gen – Again
I know I’ve written about this before, but something weird has happened not just with the ‘new’ next gen consoles, but also with the last few generations: I’m just not […]
Opinion: Next Gen
You’d barely know it, but the next generation of consoles is now less than a month away. Yet the hype and the excitement seems to be incredibly muted. Both PS5 […]
News: Xbox Series S & Series X
So it all started with a supposed leak on Monday night. Before we knew what was going on, we had the price for Xbox Series S, a console that had previously only been rumoured to exist. It sent shockwaves through the industry – clearly, with a price of $299/£249, Microsoft were not playing around. And mere minutes ago, we saw […]
Preview: Lands of Raynar
Though light on footage or shots of in-game action. the recently announced Lands of Raynar looks and sounds very promising indeed. Billed as a unique hybrid of RTS and RPG, Lands of Raynar is due to be released in 2022 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X. According to the press release, Lands of Raynar will feature an intriguing storyline, […]
Comment: Next Generation Nerves?
Here we are, supposedly just a few months away from the launch of PS5 and Xbox One Series X – yet there’s still no indication of what price they’re going to launch at or any similar details for the games that will be accompanying each console’s launch. I’ve never known anything like this in my 40ish years of gaming; usually, […]
Kickstarter: Neko Ghost, Jump!
I’ve always had a soft spot for cutesy 2D platformers, having grown up playing them in the 80s and 90s – and, mostly thanks to indie developers, they seem to be just as popular as ever today. The 3D platformer has been undergoing a bit of a resurgence recently too, with games such as Yooka-Laylee, not to mention the remastered […]
Opinion: Backwards Compatibility
There’s endless rumour and speculation about the lengths to which Sony’s upcoming console, the PS5, will be backwards compatible with previous PlayStation consoles. Though this will be put to rest this week – hopefully – with the PS5 event scheduled for June 4th, we already have a very clear idea as to where their closest competitor – at least in […]
Opinion: Xbox Series X Features
I must be psychic. Just a day before the Xbox Series X specs and features announcement, I was bemoaning the laziness of remasters – now here we are with the knowledge that first party (and third party, if the publisher chooses) games will essentially be forward compatible on Xbox One, meaning that you will be able to purchase a game […]
