SuperHot
There aren’t many occasions when I get to review a game that I played the Prototype build of, but Superhot is one of those exceptions. Having seen it in a “Top 5 Unity Engine Games” video, Superhot stood out as one of the most memorable gaming experiences I had of...
Let’s get this out of the way right now. I have zero experience with the Naruto franchise, which is quite remarkable given how long the franchise has been around and the many years I’ve been covering the industry. This could be viewed as a good or a bad thing. Good,...
EA’s purchase of PopCap games, developers of the Plants vs Zombies series, heralded a move towards AAA console titles with the first Garden Warfare game receiving critical praise for its unique game modes and applying the IP successfully from a mobile game to a third person shooter back in 2014....
There are two types of people reading this Arslan: The Warriors of Legend review. First, there are the people who saw the title and immediately became interested in the game adaptation of the long running novel/manga/anime series. Then, there’s people like me who saw Omega Force and decided to see what...
We previewed 12 is Better Than 6 back in September, when it was in a pre-Alpha state and seeking funding on Kickstarter. Ink Stains Games has since finished and released this top-down Western shooter, delivering a brutal experience that any Hotline Miami fan shouldn’t miss out on. You play as...
Fortified
Canadian developer Clapfoot, responsible for mobile titles like Hero Forge and Tank Hero, have set their sights to the console space with their 1950s sci-fi base defense shooter Fortified. It tells a wacky story of a Martian invasion on Earth with players taking control as one of four heroes including:...
Lovely Planet
It’s hard to hate and love a game at the same time. Lovely Planet teeters on the brink of being annoyingly repetitive, while joyfully addictive. This bizarre, glee-injected shooter will have you smiling from the initial blast of colour and upbeat tempo, but the novelty soon wears thin. Joy turns into...
Amplitude
Amplitude is back after a successful Kickstarter campaign, which began in 2014! The original game’s code was used to faithfully create a sequel to the PS2 original that many have been waiting almost 13 years for. The original Guitar Hero was kind of like “Amplitude 2” (or “Frequency 3”), and...
Hard West
Hard West impressed a lot of people at PAX this year with the way it blended familiar concepts with some new ideas and presentation. It has been often said that it is “XCOM with cowboy hats,” and that does, in many ways, give you a pretty accurate summary if you...
Anno 2205
So the latest installment in the Anno series is out, going even further into the future. New tech, new climates, and a visual upgrade await in this AAA-priced building game, but is that enough to justify shelling out the big bucks? While Anno 2205 on its own is a very...
Broforce
Broforce is a love letter to those 1980 action movies of yore when Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Kurt Russell et al were headliners and played their action hero roles more or less straight. Thirty years later you find them all congregating in a single Expendables movie...
Xbox and Halo, Halo and Xbox, the two are synonymous with each other. When the original Xbox debuted in 2001, so did the original Halo, and since then we’ve seen quite a few Halo games (11 and counting), and the Xbox console is now in its third generation with the...
