News by Matt S. Devolver Digital and developer, Flying Wild Hog, have announced the third in the Shadow Warrior series, which Flying Wild Hog picked up and rebooted back in 2014. This announcement came with a trailer that is… well, classic Shadow Warrior stuff. Shadow Warrior is irreverent, to put…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The Last of Us Part II is a difficult game to review. That’s not to say that there isn’t anything worth talking about in it, because there is a lot, but rather the difficulty comes from an extended list of embargo conditions that make it impossible…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I love how far the gaming medium has come in such a short amount of time. BioShock, BioShock 2 and BioShock Infinite are, amazingly, retro games now. And maybe that’s more a statement about how quickly time has passed rather than how robust the ideas within…
Read MoreReview by Tyler T. The idea behind Predator: Hunting Grounds is a grand one, as it pits four highly-trained soldiers against the titular alien killing machine that has entertained audiences since 1987.

Read MoreVideo by Matt S. A recent article on Kotaku had me thinking about the way that video games depict war again, and I realised that I haven’t actually done a video where I consolidate all my thoughts into how war is treated as a subject yet. And so now I’ve…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Hunt: Showdown so desperately needed to be a different type of game. As a multiplayer shooter, it works, and indeed works really well. But it needed to be a single player, narrative-driven experience (and, you have to suspect, was at some stage designed that way) because…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. As a fan of horror, I was really keen to check Hunt: Showdown out, now that it has finally landed on PlayStation 4. Crytek’s multiplayer horror-em-up always looked like it was going to deliver something special as a deep south B-grade Gothic horror experience. Unfortunately, while…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. It’s amazing that Vanquish in 2020 is celebrating its tenth anniversary: a game which once was difficult to track down, yet revered by those who had played it. It’s a game which seemingly predicted the direction that third-person shooters would take over the next decade, championing…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Yes, I’m reviewing a shooty shooty bang bang. Perhaps an even bigger shock is that it is one that I genuinely enjoyed. Sniper Ghost Warrior: Contracts is not even the most high profile or critically lauded in its genre this year, but then given that so…
