Alien: Isolation seems to be a game that most critics don’t’ get, while fans are crying out for more. The rub of course is in the removal of your more standardized space marine abilities in favor of only being capable of scurrying away like a small, mostly defenseless mammal. In most scenarios, this means treating the metal innards of a space station gone haywire like your own personal rabbit’s nest and the worst part is, the “wolf” hunting you is a classic Xenomorph a la’ Ridley Scott’s original “Alien” film. Oh yeah, didn’t we also mention that this is perhaps…

When it comes to basketball games, particularly those on an 8th generation console like the PlayStation 4, people have high expectations. NBA 2K15’s predecessor, boggled down with some online issues, seems to have drawn intense scrutiny upon this offering, with nearly everyone going over it with a fine-tooth comb. Of course, if you just step back and approach the game as if you weren’t even a sports fan, what’s there is amazing. The presentation is absolutely stunning for one, with it being difficult to discern whether or not you’re playing a game or watching one unfold in real life. Yes,…

With so many dubious Holmes-related entertainment objects emerging from various studios it’s natural to feel doubtful when it comes to quality in the video game department. For instance, developer Frogwares has produced no less than 9 Sherlock games previous to this one, so it’s not out of place to be wary given their track record. Rest assured however, what they’ve put together for Crimes & Punishments is pretty spectacular on multiple fronts. At the end of the day it offers lots of interesting gameplay that strays just far enough off the beaten path to be interesting while also delivering quality…
When it was announced that the creator of the Resident Evil series was being tapped to bring an entirely new survival horror IP to market, everyone was understandably stoked. Then, when we found out that Shinji Mikami was also interested in trying to bring the genre back to its roots a bit with the upcoming title, the fires of interest rose even further. Of course, all of this means very little without revealing to us some of the things that we’ll actually be able to do in-game… Ahem… Stealth Ever since the first Resident Evil game was released people have…
For the serious modern gamer who knows what they want and what’s hot, even asking a silly question like “is GTA V worth buying for the PS4” seems like blasphemy. Let’s face it, Rockstar’s new Grand Theft outing is as big and magnificent as we’d hoped it would be. To make things even more pee-in-your-pants awesome, they’re upping the ante with this next-gen release. That’s right, if you’ve been craving even more goodies to enhance the experience, look no further. Aside from all the obvious stuff, like fresh components or new activities, there’s the giant pink elephant in the room…
Some games are simply “destined” to be polarizing (if you’ll pardon the pun), such seems to be the case with Bungie’s new epic, “Destiny”. There are denizens of gamers lined up on both sides of this fight already, with quite a few in the LOVE camp as well as more than a few on the HATE side. Simply put, this really isn’t the sort of title that you can easily pigeonhole and segregate, largely because it seeks to do mix things up in the gameplay department. Nevertheless, one can’t really argue (honestly and logically, anyway) that Destiny is a “bad”…

Ah, Halloween…what dedicated, self-respecting gamer doesn’t love this holiday, eh? Why not check our 2015 PS4 Halloween themed games guide? While you might think that the PlayStation 4 is still too young to have any decent (and bone-chillingly scary) games available for it, the exact opposite is actually true. Yes, there are a number of terrifying titles currently out which would make for great Halloween entertainment; some will likely leave an indelible mark on you. Anyway, you’ve been warned, here they are, presented in no particular order… The Evil Within Currently (as of the time that this was written –…
Just put these four things together: an Open world RPG, intricate combat / parkour controls, a touch of Dark Souls II and a Lord of the Rings backdrop… Doesn’t that sound nice, like something you’d really like to test drive? Well, it’s certainly the sort of concept that LOTR and role-playing sandbox fans have been eagerly asking to see for the last decade or so. Yeah, I’m hinting at the fact this could very well in fact be THAT game. Ok, well, I’ll just be blunt – that IS this game indeed. There are so many neat little elements which…

If your favourite colour is white, or perhaps you want a change from black, we have some great news: two new white PS4 bundles will be coming soon. The Destiny Glacier White PS4 bundle was recently released by Sony. Due to its success, Sony has decided to unveil two new ones for Driveclub and Far Cry 4. These two bundles are currently only confirmed for a European launch. Both bundles will come in Glacier white and include a 500GB HDD, a copy of the game and a white DualShock 4 controller. Both bundles are expected to cost €439.99 / £349.…
If you’ve ever played the macbre, yet adorable PC game “Lemmings” before you already roughly understand the basic setup of Team 17’s “Flockers”. You essentially seek to solve puzzles by guiding your flock around the 2D map, diverting them to and fro as if they were a stream of water and not wooly-haired mammals. This game of course comes to us courtesy of the minds that created the mega-successful and charming “Worms” franchise (which you should also check out if you haven’t done so already). Is it ultimately a winner or a loser, read on to find out… For starters,…
Quite unexpectedly, developer From Software pulled a few major hits with titles like Demon’s Souls, and of course, Dark Souls I and II. All three of these titles perfectly capture a certain atmosphere and concept that’s been inherent in video gaming since the very beginning, that being dark fantasy with monsters. One could argue that they’re really just fully realized 3D renderings of forerunner games like “Ghosts ‘n Goblins”, but they’re obviously so much more. Well, keeping in line with the tradition (yet also pleasantly deviating in various ways) From Software is bringing us “Bloodborne”, which is a title that…
The primary aim of the virtual world is to let us escape our own reality and so far, we have found apt ways of doing so, with both console and pc gaming providing hours synthetic enjoyment. As successful as this part of the industry is there seemed to be a craving for something more, something that would take gaming to the next level, to quote Tron, something that would put us in the game grid. Although the Tron concept stands a little farfetched, if it were possible, it would sell and sell big. What I’m referring to is virtual gaming.…
Having already muscled its way onto the PC via the steam service, Tropico 5 provides exactly the sort of oft-hilarious dictator simulator experience that the series is renowned for. Of course, at the heart of the title is a simulation system allowing for building and construction management like no other, replete with metered updates which allow you to gauge the effectiveness of your leadership and decision-making in real-time. However, this is a slightly different affair this time, with multiplayer possibilities being added, thus allowing people to build societies on the same island where they can either work together or directly…
Let’s face it, even though we’d like to think of 8th generation consoles as being some type of magical box, they’re really just supped-up gaming PC’s, aren’t they? Sure, using a keyboard with a console is certainly nothing new; many still like to do so with their PS3 or Xbox 360, but such implements really feel much more at home on a PlayStation 4. Even better, you can simply connect any USB keyboard or mouse (including Bluetooth models, wirelessly) and you’re all set. In the spirit of the ongoing merger between console and PC gaming, we thought it best to…
Having trouble staying alive or progressing through Bungie’s latest epic Sci-fi MMO masterpiece? Never fear, we’re here to provide you with a generous helping of pointed tips that will lend an edge in both combat as well as exploration. Anyway, without further ado, let’s get going… Become a collector It should go without saying that any type of game that involves loot-grabbing and/or storage necessitates that you become something of a “collector”, right? In this regard Destiny is no different, even going as far as providing you with a vault to store your goodies in. However, what many might not…
Recently the UK has been abuzz due to the ongoing vote which is supposed to decide whether or not Scotland should become a fully independent country. While there are certainly plenty of good reasons why residents there should perhaps consider a YES vote on the referendum, there’s one area where voting NO is a no-brainer, and that’s video games. Yes, that’s right, according to the lobbying body which represents gaming interests, Tiga: “…has proposed that the British government set up a new Creative Content Fund for video games, investing £3 million ($4.9 million) in game developers each year.” (source) This…
Boiling down a game like Destiny to a simple review is not an easy affair. Sure, you can point out the various aspects from graphics to gameplay and on to its multiplayer features, but that still doesn’t really capture the essence of what it has to offer. No, in order to really get what Destiny is all about you have to spend hours exploring its worlds. This is the type of game that rewards those with a love of exploration; even better, it manages to do what virtually no other MMO has been able to do well up to this…
Here’s a detailed list of some of the games coming next year (early 2015) that you should definitely be excited about. There’s basically a bit of something for everyone featured here. Enjoy. Saints Row IV: Re-Elected + Gat Out of Hell Ok, yeah…this is basically a new and improved version of Saints Row IV which is being imported onto the 8th generation consoles. In order to further sweeten the deal, the devs have added a slick new expansion, “Gat out of hell”, which sees regularly recurring character Johnny Gat facing off against none other than Beelzebub himself (and you actually…

Dynamighty’s “CounterSpy” has arrived on the PS4 scene delivering exactly the sort of stylish stealth-based side-scrolling action that a lot of gamers crave. Not surprisingly, it’s also a title which is able to generate a great sense of 3D, which again is what makes its design so appealing. Combine that with the way it references cold war attitudes and loose military-themed tropes and you have a game that generates its own mystique. You assume the role of C.O.U.N.T.E.R., which is (as its name implies) is an organization which seeks to counter the plots of competing superpowers, both of which are…
There’s an old quote which everyone should know – “War is a racket”. Running the risk of sounding too overtly philosophical, this is exactly the sentiment that’s echoed throughout the game “Counterspy”. In essence you assume the role of a spy that is tasked (by some neutral organization) to sabotage the nuclear programs of two superpowers. Quite obviously this game is a take on cold war era politics between the US and Russia (which seems to be creeping up again these days), where the most logical choice (as portrayed by the title itself) is to subvert nuclear aggression and build…
