With Gamescom being dubbed the second biggest video games conference after E3 (although we’d argue the Tokyo Game Show should at least have that second-place spot), several industry bigwigs are having briefings at this year’s event. Read on to learn about Microsoft’s briefing. The slogan they are going with? “Jump…

On Life is Strange: Episode 4: Things just got truly frightening

August 4, 2015

Dontnod Entertainment/Life is Strange/Life is Strange: Episode 4/Sony PlayStation 4

A new month brings with it a new chapter of the Life is Strange episodic series, and this is something that I have grown to really look forward to. I’m almost sad that there’s only one chapter left after this one, because after that it’s done, and I won’t get…

It amuses me to know that this game will almost certainly be fixated on by a large number of critics and players for its costuming. They won’t be entirely wrong for that, because the four protagonists of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos really are dressed in the most ridiculously skimpy costumes from…
