With an episodic game like Life is Strange, that has performed so strongly in previous episodes, when we reach the finale there is that worry that it won’t live up to expectations. Life is Strange – Episode 5: Polarized ends perfectly for the story, but feels slightly long-winded in its approach to actually getting there. […]
While we’ve had plenty of free DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt but Hearts of Stone and next year’s Blood and Wine expansion are the two big updates that people have been waiting for. Now we’ve got our hands on Hearts of Stone, we get to see just what story can be added to […]
French indie studio The Game Bakers have pulled back the curtain on all-boss fighter Furi, their upcoming combat game slated for release on PlayStation 4 and PC in 2016. Furi feeds on the tension of one-on-one fights against deadly adversaries. It’s an intense, ultra-responsive hack-and-slash with a unique mix of fast-paced sword fighting and dual-stick […]

I’m not sure why we like horror games, especially the ones where we aren’t even given the luxury of a weapon. SOMA is a new science fiction game that follows many of the traits shown in previous Frictional games like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but also makes you feel like a bad human being in […]
Capcom have, at the Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia Press Conference 2015, announced Umbrella Corps, a new fast-paced third person shooter set in the Resident Evil universe.

When Vikings die an honourable death, they expect to be welcomed into Valhalla in celebration of their glories. When the gates are closed though, what are they to do? Prove their worth on Valhalla Hills. An Early Access game, Valhalla Hills will be recognisable for Settlers fans for the style of play it offers. The […]
If I said that the PC now has its own P.T would I have your interest? I hope so. This is what Layers of Fear is, it manages the same scares and messes with your head much in the same way as the Silent Hills teaser did. It also has the same problem in that […]
When playing Corpse of Discovery I can’t help but think about No Man Sky. I’m not comparing the two, but instead if this game did anything it proved to me that exploring alien worlds is something that I really enjoy, even if there is no combat included in the game. Corpse of Discovery is a […]
Game releases, just like movies and other forms of entertainment can at times be all about timing. Who would dare go up against Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain? I guess you would have to be mad… Mad Max. The story for Mad Max sticks to a tried and trusted form, Max loses his […]
While some games are designed to show off just how powerful the new console hardware is these days, or how impressive they can look on top end PCs, there are also games that look back to the 2D days of platform games and shoot ‘em ups. Gryphon Knight Epic is yet another one of those, […]
If there is one thing you can say about Telltale Games, it’s that they take themselves too seriously at times. The Walking Dead hit hard at your emotions, Game of Thrones has tried the same. Tales from the Borderlands brings back the fun – for the most part – it also tried to keep things […]
Maybe I’ve been spoilt by the choice of games I play on my PC, but I tend to expect a certain quality. I’ve played games on the platform for years, all the way back to the pre-DirectX days. This may be why I took such a disinterest to Monster Truck Destruction. When I started to […]
If there was one game style that you would not expect to come back it would be FMV, it was a definitely a Nineties thing and with technology moving on so much with graphical quality there is no real reason to bring it back. That of course, does not mean that a game is not […]

The […]
When Life is Strange Episode 4: Dark Room was downloading I knew that it would be a tough one to get through. I made certain choices that pushed my game a certain way, and now I had to face them. Without giving away spoilers, I’d saw we were taught that messing with time has consequences, […]
Building a bridge should be easy; it should be just creating a road that goes from point A to B over a unpassable area. Play Poly Bridge though and you’ll find that there is a lot standing in the way of holding a bridge up in the air, and physics suck. Poly Bridge tends to […]
If the apocalypse strikes and the monsters have taken over would the penthouse in a hotel be the best place to find yourself? Skyhill is a game that starts you off trapped in the luxury apartment, with the aim to not only survive but make it the bottom floor, or that is what I’ve been […]
While the illusion of choice is somewhat waning now in Telltale Games, Game of Thrones: Episode Five – A Nest of Vipers proves that they can still tell a good story and kick you in the gut. More importantly, they can create a game that can stand tall in the world of Game of Thrones. Especially […]
