A few years back, at EGX Rezzed, I was lucky enough to sit down with a version of Carmageddon Max Damage as it was, then for XBox 360 and Steam. It would, I was promised by the developpers present, be ported to PS4 and XBox One eventually. As a bit of a f
Japan is a literal world apart from the West. Spain or Italy, which have different languages and cultures to us, still share plenty of similarities. Though you may not understand what the road signs mean, you can at least approximately read them and sound
Dark Souls is one of those things in life: you either love it's brutal combat, and minimalistic approach to storytelling, or hate its brick-wall difficulty and opaqueness. Dark Souls 3 has been claimed to be the last in the Dark Souls series, and if
In any form of entertainment, sequels are always dangerous ground. Entertainment is based upon novelty, so how does one create something novel, fun and enjoyable, whilst also retaining all the factors that made the original so worthy of a sequel? It&
As a child, my first games console was a NES. I loved the console, but it was very quickly superceded by the SNES. The graphics were better, the games bigger, it could do more. I remember being utterly amazed by Starwing and it's "3D" graphics, or the
Ask any fighting game aficionado what their earliest memories of the genre are, and many will reminisce of hours lost in an arcade, pounding coin after coin into the slot of something like Street Fighter II or Tekken, slapping buttons and wiggling sticks
2015 has been quite the year for beat-em-ups, it seems. We kick-started the year (pun wholeheartedly intended) with Dead or Alive 5 Last Round blasting onto next-gen, and just as pulses were beginning to settle (and blood returning to the rest of the
CAPCOM has finally given Ultra Street Fighter IV - announced to be coming to PlayStation 4 late last year - a release date of May 26th for both Europe and the US, and stated that the game would cost $24.99 as a digital download. No information was given r
Mortal Kombat is one of those game series that almost everyone is at least moderately aware of. It's infamous for being pretty much the reason that the ESRB exists today due to it's violent and gory combat. Love it or hate it, it's also always been
“Retro” is the new black of gaming. Whilst the Triple A publishers push constantly for bland realism in a seemingly never ending cycle of gaming repetition under the label of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, the Indie
I think it's fair to say that Nintendo, whilst being the author of an astonishing number of the worlds greatest games, has an image of being the cutesy, child-friendly developer of games. You'll not find blood in a Legend of Zelda game. Mario doesn't swea
Despite what games like Call of Duty may have you believe, war is hell – it isn't pretty, it isn't exciting. At its core, it is mass murder that tears families and nations apart from within. A ballsy opening statement, perhaps, but it's something th
I know, I know, it's ridiculous to even suggest it; Valve doesn't do 3's – Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead... That said, the thought of diving back into the world of Portal brings me to an near rabid state of salivation. When the first
It's been in the works for quite a while, but it's looking like Positech Games' Gratuitous Space Battles 2 is almost ready for release. This is fantastic for all those people who were disappointed when the game didn't launch in November 2014 as origi
After writing an article on Rating Baiting, and generally being fairly outspoken on the subject of age ratings in media (and videogames especially), it seemed only ironically natural to sit down with the beta version of Carmageddon: Reincar
Beyond Eyes is a beautiful looking indie game being developed by Sherida Halatoe (tiger & squid) and Team 17. The game puts players in control of a 10 year old blind girl called Rae, as she goes in search of Nani, her cat. The game itself is an e
