With the latest Jurassic Park film smashing up records in a bid to prove that we all still love dinosaurs smashing stuff up, and eating stupid people, it was only a matter of time before a tie in game came along. Personally I’m still waiting for my Jurassic Park vs Godzilla idea to spring into action, but I suppose this will have to do for now. Mercifully it has been entrusted to the lovely folk at TT Games, so you know that no matter what it will poke fun at the source material.
It was just over a year ago that Dark Souls II emerged and we were tasked with “preparing to die” all over again. Despite repeated claims to the contrary it seems as if developer From Software finally caved to peer pressure and has rustled up a brand spanking new version for the latest generation of consoles, throwing in all of the DLC elements, mixing up enemy placements and giving the visuals a fresh lick of paint. So is it worth the trip back to Drangleic?
How do you follow a story as epic as the Lord of the Rings? With great difficulty it seems, as focusing on the prequel, The Hobbit, has turned into something of a love and hate relationship. While fans are excited to see more of Middle-earth there are justifiable questions about creating a trilogy of films that take more time to watch than it would to actually read the book. Stuffed with plot points from some of Tolkien’s other works, bloated by filler material and generally not as interest...
I awaken, face down, on a stone slab. My clothes are tattered and encrusted with blood, my memory is hazy. Small creatures scatter in my wake as I stumble towards the only source of light up ahead. An ominous set of footprints lead up to a hulking, one-eyed creature but I resist the urge to rush over and lay into him with my fists. After all, life is precious right? I wander into the nearby cottage for a discussion with a group of crones and my memories slowly return. As does a swish new outf...
The short version of this Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII review is this: If you haven’t played FFXIII or FFXIII-2 then don’t bother with this. Frankly the storyline is likely to be a perplexing quagmire even for those who are au fait with the series, so newcomers would be best to steer clear. With that in mind you can also expect brief spoilers here for the aforementioned games. It’s kind of unavoidable, such is the nature of the beast. With all that being said we can now welcome...
My name is Duchess Gummybuns, and this here is the slamacow review of Adventure Time Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! Truly the grand vizier of all video game names, but does it have the mathematical skills to deliver an experience that can match the hilarious, surreal and weird nature of the show? Mixing a blend of pop culture references, quick fire humour, sarcasm and, obviously, fart jokes means Adventure Time has quickly built up something of a cult following. So here is the chan...
Diablo III is a maths game. It’s also an RPG but, somehow, that feels much less important to the never ending quest for statistical perfection. Diablo itself is much heralded as the greatest of all dungeon crawling games, a peculiar genre that focuses less on story and more on exploration and treasure snagging. It is basically designed to appeal to anyone with even the slightest hint of OCD and does so very well and, for a game that came out on PC a year ago, it has finally made the progres...
Who would have thought that Suda51 could ever make a boring game? His name is generally synonymous with some of the odder curios in gaming, from Killer7 to No More Heroes and Lollipop Chainsaw, all of which have a unique sense of style and purpose. So a game about a hitman with a curious posse and hyper twisted opponents should be an easy mark. Instead we seem to have been given a title that fails to ever really find its feet. Presenting Killer is Dead.
Some co-op games focus on helping each other out and relying on a variety of skills and abilities in order to progress and succeed. Then again, some just want you to blow shit up. Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel fits firmly into the latter camp and has actually toned down some of the in-game co-op shenanigans from the earlier titles in favour of shooting everything in sight – then shooting it some more just to be sure. The game wears its heart firmly on its sleeve, presumably so you can sho...
As you hurtle through a drug cartel owned village, guns blazing with your squad sweeping alongside you providing cover fire, suddenly a technical van comes screaming around the corner. “Take out the driver,” your buddy Woods screams and you duly oblige, sending the truck hurtling into a nearby wall and erupting into flames. “Just like old times,” Woods says with a chuckle, which is ironic considering it is pretty much the general feeling you get all the way through Call of Duty: Black...
