awesomenauts/PC/Ronimo Games

The PC version of developer Ronimo’s Awesomenauts is about to get a chompy, slobbery, playable character with the dog-like Gnaw. Gnaw was raised by ‘Cosmic Bikers’ (which doesn’t sound particularly good) and has a nasty predisposition for biting and spitting poisonous ooze on his foes. He’s also totally free to…

August 10, 2012

Alien Spidy/Kalypso Media/mac/PC/PS3/Xbox 360

Kalypso Media’s Alien Spidy is officially swinging its way to consoles, Macs, and PCs this Autumn. Alien Spidy kind of reminds me of Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet in a way. There’s a similar visual style going on, although it looks like Spidy has a little more in the way of…

Pre-order exclusives? Of course there are pre-order exclusives for this Fall’s ‘best of Bond’ game- 007 Legends. Before we even get into that though, remember that whoever you buy from, you’ll be getting a post launch bonus with a downloadable level based on the new Bond film Skyfall. That’s pretty…

Just because: multiplayer mod for Just Cause 2 gets a public testing weekend

August 10, 2012

Just Cause 2/modding/PC

Just Cause 2 was a pretty amazing game. While games like Grand Theft Auto have given players a world to experience, Just Cause 2 gave players the tools to experience that world in a new, more ridiculous way than ever before. But you know what would have made the game…

Review: SpeedX 3D (3DS eShop)

August 10, 2012

eShop/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Racing/Reviews/SpeedX 3D

Imagine this: You’re a turtle, moving through an empty, white world filled with coloured blocks. If you can wrap your head around that, you’ve arrived at the dullest eShop game to date: SpeedX 3D. Whatever regulatory body that looks over advertising in the games industry should rap developer, Gamelion, over…

Insurgency 2/kickstarter/New World Interactive

The Kickstarter campaign for New World Interactive’s Insurgency 2 is in full swing. Now the devs have produced an 8 minute long gameplay trailer to show off how things are going. It really reminds me of Counterstrike at first look. I haven’t played that one in ages but I get…
