I have a difficult task ahead of me. I need to try to convey why, after just the first day of E3, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is quite likely my personal game of the show. This open world stealth-action game, which sees you become a supernatural entity called a wraith and sow chaos amongst the […]

Bethesda’s attempt to enter the free-to-play PC space comes in the form of the stylised, fast-paced action game, Battlecry. At first glance, it looks like a wannabe Team Fortress 2, but a few key twists make for immediately unique gameplay. Battlecry’s alternate history is one where gunpowder has been outlawed, so low-tech bows and melee […]

When I first saw Sunset Overdrive in motion, the game’s hyper-saturated combination of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater-like rail grinding with Dead Rising 3-like weaponry reminded me of the kinds of games you see someone playing on a TV show.

It’s a central part of Rocksteady’s latest outing in the Arkham saga, and a gameplay feature so tightly integrated into the flow of the game that it practically feels like an extension of the batsuit. But now that […]

The developer of Axiom Verge, Tom Happ, is sick of people comparing his game to Metroid. I can understand that need to differentiate yourself, to want people to go beyond an easy cultural touchstone. But even knowing his reticence to draw parallels between his PlayStation opus and one of Samus’ space-faring adventures, I can’t help […]

As predicted, E3 2014 has been all about the games. Microsoft and Sony’s press conferences were dominated by big names like Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and Halo. Nintendo wheeled out Zelda and Mario. And there were indie titles too, like the breathtaking No Man’s Sky, and Abzu. The one thing they all had in common? 2015. […]
