If you’ve ever played a classic dungeon delving Dungeons & Dragons adventure, then you know what it feels like to play Deep Dungeons of Doom. Just distill that feeling down, pepper it with 8-bit graphics, and you’ve got yourself one heck of an OUYA game. Evil has spread across the land, and in typical role…
Maybe it’s because the development team are obviously on the side of the Imperium and I’m more of a Slaanesh girl, but the recent announcement of Eternal Crusade (an MMO based on the 40K universe) did not thrill me to my core, the way it should have. It’s not that it won’t look beautiful, there’s…
When it was announced that Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge would have it’s release in Australia, rated R18+, there was a sigh of relief. It had felt like the discussions, the votes, the explanations of “But videogames aren’t just for 12 year olds!” had gone on forever. The time of censorship was over, now we…
If you haven’t yet heard of Mega Man Unlimited then you need to readjust your priorities. This flash game idea turned full blown video game development project has managed to garner a cult following off of a concept video alone. When Phillipe “MegaPhilX” Poulin decided to make a video of what he imagined Mega Man…
Following the release of Mass Effect 3 it was hard for anyone to escape the controversy surrounding the game ending. Heck, I knew more about the games ending than I did any other facet of it before I’d even bought the game. Bioware did eventually release a free DLC that put in more fan friendly…
I get the feeling Codemasters are having a mid-life crisis. Someone has mentioned to them that they’re now one of the longest-running videogame developers in the current market, and suddenly they’re worrying about whether their tackle still works rather than concentrating on what they do best. The warning signs were there when F1 2011 decided…
One should never pander blandly to fanboys. I was a Sonic kid growing up, but whenever I see my favourite blue hedgehog wheeled out now for the umpteenth time, I feel the same way one might about their favorite band going on yet another reunion tour and not realising they haven’t been a) any good,…
There are few games out there that have seen as many odd news stories and controversies as the game formerly known as The War Z. While most of the bad press surrounding the game has to do with what is actually in the game and how the developers handled that press, there has also been…
Everybody certainly loves zombies. It’s a bit of craze sweeping the world right now and, hey, why not jump on the bandwagon? It’s all in good fun. And you know what? I bet there are some people in this very same world who like gardening just as much as they like zombies! There are probably…
Valve has finally set a release date for the sequel to the hugely popular Warcraft III game mod “Defense of the Ancients”. Dota is considered by many to be the seed of the MOBA genre, despite it having a predecessor in the “Aeon of Strife” Starcraft mod. Dota spawned many of the conventions we now…
There are some games that, when brought up, garner only confusion. I make a point to keep these in my collection because the only thing better than having awesome games, is having awesome games nobody else has heard of. Sometimes great games just manage to slip through the cracks without notice, and that’s a shame….
Ah, Animal Crossing. There’s nothing quite like it! It’s a series that stands out on it’s own and is down right fun.. in an almost obsessive, addictive kind of way. There’s so much slander against games that serve the purpose of giving people a “second life.” You’ve heard it all, I’m sure: “GO OUTSIDE,” “MEET…
Just days before E3, EA’s DICE studio released a video to promising they had surprises in store for audiences. The video featured DICE Studio’s General Manager, Karl-Magnus Troedsson promising “Surprises” and “Awesome games” at E3. The video can be found covered by Geek Insider here. After seeing the video, a majority of the internet assumed…
I love the Elder Scrolls series. I just wanted to get that out of the way so nobody thinks otherwise. I began playing the series when Morrowind was it’s newest game and have been in love ever since. There are just things that the Elder Scrolls games have done that no other franchise seems to…
Nintendo is an interesting beast when it comes to releasing new consoles. They tend to roll out completely revolutionary hardware but with the smallest library you could possibly imagine. The launch of the Wii U was a primary example of this dilemma: awesome hardware with an all new way to play games but barely any…
