The weekly discussion: The best console launch of all time

February 22, 2013

With the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 this week, we’re all in the mood to talk about new consoles, I think. But since we’ve already discussed the PS4 to death, let’s talk about console launches instead. Of the consoles that you’ve bought at launch, which have impressed you most, and…

Rainbow Moon, the most hardcore of hardcore RPGs, gets a sequel

February 22, 2013

If you’ve had the good fortune to play Rainbow Moon, then you’d know the definition of a ‘hardcore’ RPG. It was literally hundreds of hours of grinding, looting and levelling up. Now, we’re rather big fans of that kind of game (read our review here), so you can imagine our…

Review: Scribblenauts Unlimited (Wii U)

Imagination. Its a wonderful thing when utilized to its full extent and people can whisk themselves to the most fascinating of paradises. Imagine, if you will, a world that you could interact with in the most primal way. You want it to be night, and *poof* it is. Feeling peckish?…

Dummy Spit/Opinion/PlayStation 4/Sony

Let’s chalk up another win for gamer entitlement taking over rational thought; following Sony’s rather spectacular unveiling of the PlayStation 4, a group of gamers spat the dummy because Sony didn’t show the actual PlayStation 4 box. It’s one of those moments where I quite genuinely felt an urge to…

Yes, Mass Effect 3 has been out for a while, but the real final sendoff for the game’s single player experience is about to arrive right alongside the last of the multiplayer offerings. Reckoning is the last of the multiplayer downloads that’ll be coming for EA and BioWare’s smash hit…

And I thought the PlayStation 4 announcement couldn’t get more exciting… CD Projekt Red, the makers of the Witcher games, and thus the guys that made the best Western RPG in the past generation (The Witcher 2) have announced that The Witcher 3 will be making an appearance on the…

Review: Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes (iPad)

Originally a release on the Nintendo DS, Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes has made the high definition jump from consoles to iOS. It’s good, but the technical faults of this version mean it fails to recapture the charm that it originally had. It’s not that Clash of Heroes is…

PS4/Release Information/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4/Thoughts On

There has been a lot of conversation taking place since Sony’s conference last night, which ran a little over two hours. In that time we were introduced to hardware, functionality, developer thoughts and some big titles. We have had several articles on the topic I suggest reading, including: – Our…

The PlayStation 4 is incredible, but are too many gamers going to miss out?

February 21, 2013

Drive Club/Gaikai/Opinion/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/Sony

I thought the PlayStation 4 reveal today was incredible. Without even seeing the device or getting a firm idea of its price, the ideas driving the console are nothing short of brilliant. This is going to be the most feature-rich and social console we’ve ever seen. In fact I suspect…

Review: Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken (Vita)

February 21, 2013

platformer/PlayStation/Reviews/Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken/Sony PlayStation Vita

At a glance, I had no idea what to make out of Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken. From the very beginning the title oozes humour and sharp visuals, but I really had no idea what to expect from the game until I started to play it. What we have here is a…
