Yet another good-looking Warhammer game announced

February 6, 2015

co-op/Fatshark/FPS/News/Screenshot/screenshots/Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide

Fatshark is one of the more talented independent developers out there. Forget the cash-in and clearly quickly-developed Dead Island that the studio helmed; Fatshark helmed War of the Roses and War of the Vikings, and these two games were exceptional multiplayer combat games. And now Fatshark is back doing what…

Review: The Escapists (Microsoft Xbox One)

Microsoft Xbox One/Mouldy Toof Studios/Reviews/Team17 Digital/The Escapists/XB1/Xbox One review

It’s time to wake up, stretch, get a job and make the morning roll call. No, you are not in school or even getting ready for a typical day of work. Instead, you are in prison, and you’re never getting out. Not for good behaviour or because your parole has…

Review: Alphadia Genesis (Nintendo Wii U)

Alphadia Genesis/JRPG/Kemco/Nintendo Wii U/Retro/Reviews/turn based/Wii U Review

I love traditional JRPGs. Having grown up with the genre on the NES, SNES, Game Boy, and whatever else I could get my hands on, more than any other genre the JRPG has been a mainstay for me through my life. So naturally when there is a game that promises…

Review: Avernum 2: Crystal Souls (PC)

February 5, 2015

Avernum 2: Crystal Souls/PC/PC Review/Retro/Reviews/RPG/Spiderweb Software

Avernum 2: Crystal Souls is a new look and a remake of a classic game. It lacks the visual fire-power of recent AAA powerhouse RPGs like Dragon Age: Inquisition, or even the old school RPGs like Baldur’s Gate, but those only looking for a shiny exterior to go with bells…

Review: Unmechanical: Extended (Microsoft Xbox One)

February 4, 2015

Indie/Microsoft Xbox One/Puzzle Game/Unmechanical/Unmechanical Extended/Xbox One review

Unmechanical is a puzzle game that has an incredibly strong emphasis on its art and themes. From the opening moments, the player is introduced to two clashing themes. A natural environment, filled with rolling green hills is overshadowed by a booming industrial landscape in the background. When players start to…

When you think of Persona 4, and what is memorable about it, you probably start by thinking of the narrative and characters. After all, it’s one of the deepest and most intelligent narratives we’ve ever seen in a game, so it should be remembered for that. But then you might…

Here we go: the first English screenshots of Eiyuu Senki on PlayStation 3

February 4, 2015

Eiyuu Senki/Fruitbat Factory/News/Screenshot/screenshots

Eiyuu Senki is a game I don’t think anyone could have predicted would be released in English. After all, it comes from an H-game (erotic game) background. And yet, courtesy of Fruitbat Factory, Eiyuu Senki is getting a worldwide release. Yes, even in Australia. Of course the game won’t be…

The indies are producing some truly awesome stuff for consoles at the moment. White Night is coming to us from OSome Studio, and it looks incredible. It’s apparently a homage to classic horror titles such as Alone in the Dark. As you’ll see in the trailer below it seems to…

Review: Frenchy Bird (Nintendo Wii U)

February 4, 2015

casual games/Flappy Bird/Frenchy Bird/Indie/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Wii U Review

I honestly believe that Flappy Bird is a great game. As an simple arcade game it offers a perfectly consistent set of mechanics – you navigate through a series of obstacles that come at you at a consistent rate, controlling a character that moves predictably. And yes, it’s maddeningly challenging…
