I have given Disney Infinity executive producer John Vignocchi a lot of my money. Well, OK–I didn’t give Vignocchi that money directly, but I did spend it on a bunch of Disney Infinity figures. For all the problems I had with the initial release of the game, I simply couldn’t help myself; my Disney obsession, […]

Roll7, developer of Olli Olli, has something brilliant in the works, and it’s called Not A Hero. It’s a 2D, pixel-art, cover-based shooter, and it’s utterly ridiculous. Although there are several environments in the game, the levels I saw all began in buildings. In Not A Hero, it is your job to clear out the […]

I was as confused as anyone when Crytek picked up the Homefront licence from a crumbling THQ back in 2012. After all, why would anyone want the licence to a game that didn’t review particularly well, and partly contributed to the downfall of its publisher? It’s hardly like there’s much goodwill attached the name. Yet, […]

“Warriors, gather here!” a deep voice booms. Its cadence struck a familiar chord in me, as the camera panned across barren terrain and landed on the back of a recognisable orange gi.

Check out any sale day on Good Old Games and you’ll be stunned by the number of RTS games from every era, depicting every army size, and with a boggling number of unique twists. But the genre seems to have stagnated. StarCraft […]

The developers of Titan Souls sure talk a big game. Being inspired by Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus means they’ve set their sights on two of the greatest games ever created. How in the world could any game possibly live up to that pedigree? Well, I am not going to get crazy by […]

What happens when a small, stealthy goblin vomits out a clone of himself, which runs under a giant crate, attracting the attention of guards, while the original goblin cuts the hanging cable to crush the guards–and clone–beneath? You get one of the coolest interactions that I saw in my half-hour demo of Styx: Master of […]

Warhammer’s most leisurely spinoff, the turn-based interpretation of American football known as the appropriately violent-sounding Blood Bowl, was missing some key features in its first PC adaptation. Namely, a deeper singleplayer campaign, as well as a robust multiplayer metagame. These two major features are making their way to Blood Bowl 2, the sequel that takes […]
