I’ve spent a week since launch putting together our CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE review. I’ve played the game on public servers, ranking up alongside the common gamer with the latest patch installed. Now, after having completed the campaign, grinding through a big chunk of multiplayer, and experiencing what’s currently available in...
Whether you believe it or not, there was a time when licensed video game movie tie-ins were good. Aladdin and The Lion King were two of the finest examples of such games back then and have both been brought back to life by Disney and Digital Eclipse (the developers behind Mega...
It’s impossible to discuss The Outer Worlds without mentioning Fallout. It touches every cornerstone of a Fallout game, from the camera zooming in on an NPC’s face when you strike up a conversation with them, through to enemies crumpling up in an awkward pile of physics when you kill them with a critical shot. Developer...
Back in the ’90s, Pokemon was one of those media crazes that supposedly corrupted the children. In particular, certain religious figures condemned it for its “demonic origins” amid more widespread bouts of Satanic panic. Even as a kid, whenever I saw this play out, I let out a sigh of relief. At least...
Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is an underrated series. So underrated, in fact, that publisher EA and developer PopCap Games has decided to drop that subtitle altogether. Now we’re introduced to Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, a new third-person PvE and PvP shooter, which is Garden Warfare 3 in all but name....
Originally released on PC last year, Twice Circled’s popular aquarium tycoon sim MEGAQUARIUM is now available on consoles. It has made the tricky transition shockingly well for a simulation title, but that can be attributed to it being on the fairly simple side compared to games like Planet Coaster and other genre mainstays....
When you spend most of your time covering new releases, you don’t often get to look at pure arcade experiences. Sure, there are games with arcade elements and enhanced ports, but a top to bottom quarter-muncher is a rare beast indeed. That’s what makes KILLER QUEEN BLACK so interesting. A home version...

Souls-likes and cinematic platformers have been two genre spin-offs that have yet to be topped by any team outside of those who started those trends. The former are still largely owned by FromSoftware while Playdead still reigns supreme over the latter. But that doesn’t mean others can’t try their hand,...
There’s nothing more tantalizing than a game with potential. Be it a unique mechanic, a novel setting or an innovative twist on familiar tropes, originality can sell players on new worlds and unproven concepts. Originality can also cause problems in production. A unique mechanic can lead to design headaches. Untested...

The past couple years have been rocky for Codemasters as the acclaimed racing game developer has released broken games like Micro Machines World Series, laid of huge chunks of the studio after Onrush‘s commercial failure, and come under fire for a lack of content in recent releases. Despite this, the studio has been...
Art can give people life but few games take that as literally as CONCRETE GENIE. Pixelopus is stepping far away from its underwhelming debut, Entwined, to create a game all about, well, creating. From creating lively murals to creating adorable monstrosities with seven horns and four tails, Concrete Genie is...
Premier fighting game developers usually stick to that genre for years if not decades. Even though NetherRealm in its many forms has experimented with unique minigames and brawlers in the past, it has almost exclusively created traditional fighting games along with the Tekken team. Or, in Arc System Works’ case, it’s the...
