Before I sat down to write this guide (and before I’d actually played Advanced Warfare) I naively, stupidly reckoned I could prob’ly get away with a bit of a re-jig of the one I wrote for Ghosts. Sure, I thought, the maps would be different, the loadouts might’ve changed a bit, and there’d be a few other differences here and there Continue reading “Guide to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare”
Firstly, I was pretty excited and didn’t get much sleep last night, so, you know, apologies if I don’t using words good at very some times. Secondly – HOLY FREAKIN’ COW – it’s here. It happened. WE HAVE A TRAILER FOR FALLOUT 4! Continue reading “Fallout 4 Trailer – Initial Reactions”
Yeah, we’ve been burned before, and yeah, the internet’s not always, like, *totes* reliable, but……shit, as they say, just got real!
Like, really, reeeeeaaaaalllly, really REAL! Continue reading “Fallout 4 Countdown: Please Stand By…..”
When I was covering the Sony Gamescom Presser last year there was loads of interesting and exciting stuff leaping out at me, but one of the things that perhaps intrigued me the most was the potential of a game created by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, and featuring the acting talents of Norman Reedus. Continue reading “New Silent Hills Game is Not Going to Happen”
In what was, all things considered, a pretty good day for Halo fans, Microsoft and 343 Industries yesterday released two live action trailers for the next highly anticipated installment of the (redonkulously popular) Halo franchise, and perhaps more excitingly, also slapped on an October 27th release date. Continue reading “Halo 5: Guardians Gets An October Release Date”
As you’d probably expect from Shinji Mikami (the brains behind the original Resident Evil game), The Evil Within is an almost textbook ‘survival horror’ game. It follows all of the genre’s usual conventions, sometimes to the point of being clichéd – in fact, often way, waaaay beyond the point of being clichéd. Strange goings-on in a mental hospital: check. Wandering around in a big ol’ creepy mansion: check. Mirrors that act as portals: check. Weird gloopy stuff on the walls, bad-ass baddies with considerably more arms/legs than you’d expect, lots of things trying to eat your brains: check, check, aaaaaannnd check!! Continue reading “The Evil Within – Review”
To say that I’m ‘a bit excited’ about Virtual Reality would be akin to saying that Antarctica is ‘a bit cold’, or that Trevor Philips is ‘a bit strange’, because in all honesty, I’m already losing sleep at the prospect of diving into full-on VR type shenanigans. Imagine my joy then, when Sony yesterday announced that Morpheus is not only coming, but could be here as soon as “early 2016”. Continue reading “Sony’s Project Morpheus to Launch in “Early 2016””
An announcement of an announcement isn’t normally what you would reasonably call news, but when it’s Bethesda Softworks making the pre-announcement announcements, “normally” takes a swan-dive out of the nearest window. Indeed, within about 22.46 seconds of Bethesda’s blog post going live, the whole internet was positively buzzing with Fallout 4 chatter.
Could this, at last, be exactly what we’ve been waiting for? Can we, finally, dust off the old pip-boy and, maybe, possibly, dare to dream again? Continue reading “Bethesda Announce They’ll Announce Something at E3: Fallout Fans Break the Internet”
It’s nearly Christmas again, which is possibly some kind of mistake, because I’m pretty sure the last one was only a few days ago, but, more to the point, it’s now a year since Microsoft and Sony triumphantly thrust their next-gen consoles onto the market, and gaming (ostensibly) took a fairly significant leap forward. Continue reading “Next-Gen Gaming: One Year Report Card”
