NIS America have anounced that they are bringing competitive shoot ‘em up Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet to North America and Europe in late 2016 for PlayStation 4 – a console which is swiftly becoming the go-to machine for gamers who love the kinds of wild and wacky games Japan are known for (I know […]
Deep Silver have announced their partnership with SNK to publish the latest installment of one of my favourite fighting franchises, The King of Fighters XIV in Europe. KOF bursts onto the next generation for the first time in KOF XIV, continuing it’s 20+ year fighting legacy exclusively for console on PlayStation 4 (of course, given […]
The first two images from Call of Cthulhu, the official video game adaptation of Chaosium’s pen & paper RPG of the same name, have been unveiled this week. The images feature Darkwater Island,a disturbing place that players will have to explore during their investigation while Cthulhu, the Great Dreamer, prepares its awakening. In Call of […]
Overwatch is a game that I feel I am somewhat obsessed with right now. I’ve had my eye on it for a while, becoming jealous of the people lucky enough to be in the Closed Beta. Then when the Open Beta came around I played it on both PC and PlayStation 4 finding it fun […]
There are probably people in the gaming world that don’t understand the importance of Doom and the way it changed the face of shooting games. Sure, Wolfenstein 3D may have been the first, but it was merely a prototype of what was to come. With this in mind, does the new Doom live up to […]
Let me get something off my chest before delving further into this review… I’m not a huge fan of Borderlands or MOBA’s either for that matter, so I’m not exactly the target audience for the likes of Battleborn. But even I was willing to give the game the benefit of the doubt, even despite my […]
Anime can make anything fun, there is just so much energy in it that you can become intoxicated by its nature, and its often manic style. Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault for the PlayStation 4 is a game that uses the anime style to full effect, and features quite an abundance of characters. The only […]
Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, already an arcade favourite, features a host of heroines from Nitroplus’ expansive and prolific character catalogue. Players select a main character – including Super Sonico, who will be playable for the first time in this console release and Saber from Fate/Stay Night (a personal favourite) – along with two partner […]
I’m always apprehensive about the Dark Souls games, but once I let myself accept that death was inevitable I taught myself to get used to it. I’ve not got to the end of Dark Souls 3 yet, so this is my first impressions of the game, but I will say this…I think I’m in love… […]
You know there are times when a review code from a PR company or distributor just won’t do. You HAVE to have a physical copy of the game for your own. This is one of those times…. Having been exposed to the Senran Kagura franchise via the two Nintendo 3DS games, I was eagerly awaiting […]
Dodgeball is a game that should work quite well as a video game but with games becoming more complex and offering more, is throwing a little ball at people going to catch people’s interest? Stikbold! A Dodgeball Adventure is an answer to that question and a pleasantly positive one… In the Story Mode you play […]
I’m probably showing my age when I remember the hype around the original Doom. While Wolfenstein 3D was the first-person shooter that made an impression, it was Doom that really made the genre explode – by not only throwing the blood around in a glorious explosion of brutality but brought multiplayer gaming into the mix […]
The Division is turning into an interesting beast, especially for solo players like me. There are so many articles that say it is not designed for single-players alone and that at level 30 it will hit you hard, but at level 26 I’m holding up hope that I can survive it. Why am I sticking […]
One thing that’s really great about this current generation of consoles is the proliferation of indie games that have made their way to both the PS4 and Xbox One. Obviously it’ a trend started by the likes of the XBLA and Steam, but it’s only recently that there truly has been a huge wealth of […]
Marvelous Europe have announced their DLC plans for the anticipated 2D anime fighter by EXAMU, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, which is scheduled to be released on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in Europe and Australia on 7th April. Right after the release of the game, players will be able to download two additional characters: […]
PQube have announced that they will be publishing Arc System Works’ Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- for EU territories on June 10, 2016 for PS4 and PS3. So that should make up for the abomination that was the UK release of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- (I bought the US release JUST to get a physical copy). Guilty […]
Dead Island and its undead successor Dead Island: Riptide (including all previously released DLC) have been completely remastered for the first time on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Deep Silver are revisiting the iconic bone-crunching terror of the original zombie-slaying smash hit as the two zombie titles shuffle onto a whole new generation of consoles, featuring […]
Capcom have today released brand new gameplay details and new screenshots for their upcoming Umbrella Corps. Joining the previously announced “One Life Match” mode, the newly revealed “Multi-Mission” mode supports up to 6 players in a match where the first team to win 3 out of the 5 rounds will be the victor. As with […]
In my Early Access (P)review of Layers of Fear I found it to be an atmospheric game that had potential. I also compared it to P.T as it obviously uses that game as an inspiration for some of the things we see in the game. Now ready for release as a full game, is it […]
Firewatch may be described as a walking simulator. Some may even say that as something of an insult. But the fact is, this game is more of a hiking (or orienteering) simulator that tells a story… A story that is well worth experiencing. The best way to play Firewatch, as with many games of this […]
So Street Fighter V is finally out and when the servers are up we’ve all been playing it. You’d have to be hidden under a rock not to know about the lack of an arcade mode, and restricted Story Mode so is it worth playing now? Here are my thoughts. I’m not a social gamer, […]
