A new year; a new boatload of sequels to games you barely remember. A cursory glance at 2020’s release schedule reveals that we’re in for a tremendously sequel heavy year. The triple-A games that are already announced — like The Last of Us Part 2, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, Dying Light 2, Halo
Demons With Shotguns has to be one of the great game titles of all time. I mean, it does exactly what it says on the tin, right? There are demons, and they have shotguns.

Seven out of ten testers couldn’t get past level 15. A bold claim, by any account. But it’s one that Mushroom Quest, a game where you control a giant walking mushroom who spends his time pushing blocks and collecting crystals, is willing to make. So with some anticipation, I jumped in… or tried to. The
After several hours with Tamashii, I still don’t know how I feel – my senses feel violated, that’s for sure. It’s not often a piece of entertainment can inflict a feeling like this. I remember when I was roughly around 11 years old and watched The Shining for the first time. It was a completely
When it launched back in 1996, Resident Evil left an everlasting mark on the still infant survival horror genre. But as technology and visual fidelity rapidly advanced, the game’s visuals became rudimentary fairly quickly. Not only that, but many of its assets, including dialogue and story, were only to benefit from a potential reimagining. And
Before we begin, no, the name of this review is not a typo. Indeed, in many ways, Red Bow could be called Red Dead Redemption, although it is certainly a far cry aesthetically, tonally and in gameplay from Rockstar’s venerable series. In this throwback to the Game Boy Color era, players take control of Roh,

By Sherif Saed, Monday, 20 January 2020 14:56 GMT Monster Hunter World continues to produce the best motion capture footage of any game. Part of the reason why Monster Hunter World‘s monsters convincingly behave like wild animals about to ruin your day is that Capcom uses motion capture actors to form the basis of some
Demon Pit is what you get when you take the movement shooters of old and put it into the wave survival format of arena-based FPS games. Looking at the art style and the sparse-yet-functional story will instantly draw parallels between this game and that which undoubtedly acted as the primary source of inspiration: Doom. Demon
We’ve seen Toplitz Productions get busy in recent times, delivering a huge range of gaming types to PC and console. After the recent launch of Farmer’s Dynasty though, it’s obvious that is where the interest is, and that means a combination of TopLitz with the development team at Masterbrain Bytes should be one to excite

Point and click adventure games aren’t the most immediate experiences you can get to grips with. You’ll constantly be fiddling around with cursors to manoeuvre your character, selecting and placing items you’ve procured and just waiting for actions to be done at the behest of an arrow. Suffice to say these types of games aren’t
O Canada, it’s my home and native land and the homes of over 37 million people across the world. And according to the recently released Darwin Project from Scavengers Studio, it’s also home to a horrific spectacle that pits 10 prisoners to the death in the harsh Rocky Mountains, and televises it as live entertainment.

Yes, Fortnite, Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Apex Legends, amongst others, possess a truly huge following of fans. There’s much fierce debate within the gaming community
Knowing how to win the lottery, such as powerball online play, for sure is a big dream for many people. And there is no shortage of incentives to play, since, 100% of the winners tried their luck. Mathematically, this is not false, but it allows us to have some doubts about the relevance of the
I’ve been gaming for longer than I care to remember, decades in fact, enjoying near on every single minute of it. But for the last few years or so I’ve ensured that my gaming sessions have been taken in with my trusty PDP headset in tow, with the Afterglow AG9 set right up there with
Everyone’s heard of Feisty Pets, right? You know what I’m talking about – those cute animal teddies that once squeezed turn into the most horrific of creatures, enough to give your little nephew furry inspired nightmares for weeks. Oliver’s Adventures in the Fairyland is pretty much one of those. At first, your adventure seems fairly
The Munchkin card game has been around since the turn of the millennium and became instantly popular by poking fun at more traditional tabletop role-playing games.
