Guerrilla Games ends up doing a lot of heavy lifting for Sony’s newest consoles. Killzone Shadow Fall led a launch effort for the PS4, and its newest, Horizon Zero Dawn, is the poster child for the recently released PS4 Pro. While firmly rooted in science-fiction, Horizon strays from the beaten path,...
I love a good walk and talk. Some of my favourite television series — most notably, Star Trek The Next Generation and Buffy the Vampire Slayer — always used the technique to convey copious amounts of exposition as Picard and Riker exited a turbolift on the way to a transporter...
Update: Nine years later, and Darksiders 2 is back with THQ (Nordic) and re-released on current-gen consoles. You’ll find our original review below.
Everyone has a Mario Party story at this point, and most of them end up with the storyteller either coming from or being utterly destroyed because of some questionable Star allocations at the end. If you’re out to relive past stories, make new ones, or potentially alienate yourself from a new friendship...
The original Dead Rising was a thing of legend back in 2006. It was certainly ahead of its time, delivering an impressive amount of on-screen zombies whilst also turning heads for the amount of Xbox 360 consoles it was red ringing.
The Dead by Daylight franchise is no stranger to offshoots with nothing to do with asynchronous multiplayer, and custodian Behaviour Interactive is adept at finding the right partner to make those happen. Hooked on You, a dating sim set within the bleak, desolate world of killers and survivors, was in...
Black Myth Wukong is the latest retelling of the classic Chinese tale Journey to the West, this time developed by locals at the China-based (slightly problematic, allegedly sexist) GameScience.
I’m old enough to remember hours and hours of entertainment provided by my family’s NES console. We never had a R.O.B. or a Power Glove — but my friend Chris had both, and the only thing I remember about them both is that neither lasted very long — but we...
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Wrath of the Mutants is exactly as it’s described, a console and PC port of a 2017 arcade title of the same name (perhaps minus Arcade). Priced at $50 AUD, it’s decidedly for fans of the 2012 iteration of our heroes in a half shell.
I’m that specific type of old that had an original Game Boy and refused to move beyond it until the poor thing eventually gave up the ghost (or maybe we were just poor?) Regardless, I loved my Game Boy; I had a magnifying glass and light combo that I affixed...
I have a soft spot for DONTNOD, a studio behind some of my favourite, most inventive titles. There’s almost something there for everyone, from a futuristic beat-em-up in Remember Me, the occult hit that was Vampyr, and of course narrative adventures in Life is Strange (and the criminally undervalued Awesome...
Avatar exists through the sheer force of James Cameron’s will. I remember the original film as a vehicle for 3D cinema above anything else, including story. My husband and I streamed The Way of Water over two nights over some obligation to watch it, but fully aware that we weren’t going to...
