With a trailer released during the Spike VGA 2011 show and a full cover story from the aforementioned magazine, Ubisoft Montreal seemed to have its sights set on continuing with this darker,...
E3 2014 Criterion Games Reaches for the Sky with a New and Broadly Ambitious Project
Boats, helicopters, ATVs, oh my
Cars and Criterion Games have gone hand in hand for years. It's hard not to imagine a racing game from the studio that doesn't involve sleek, expensive sports vehicles or obsessively rendered depictions of car crashes like in Need for Speed or Burnout. However, since the developer's surprising announcement that it...
E3 2014 Star Wars: Battlefront Aims to Bring the Galaxy to Life Like Never Before
The opportunity of a lifetime
DICE has been behind one of the most recognisable shooter franchises of all time with Battlefield, which continues to press on as seen with the recent reveal of Battlefield Hardline. So, since EA acquired the rights to produce Star Wars games, there was no doubt that it would utilize DICE's talents, which was confirmed...
News Ed Boon Kinda Confirms New Mortal Kombat After Poster Leak
Slight changes made to the series' logo, too
It's no secret that NetherRealm Studios' creative director Ed Boon has been teasing us all over the past few weeks. In an unnecessarily convoluted manner, he has been mysteriously counting down to something on his Twitter account, which we're led to believe may be Mortal Kombat X. Fortunately, it appears...
News Old School and New School Merge in This Surprising Wolfenstein Easter Egg
A blast from the past
There's no doubt that Wolfenstein: The New Order is heavily inspired by its 1992 predecessor Wolfenstein 3D, which pioneered the shooter genre much like the legendary DOOM. But with next-gen graphics, deeper yet classic gunplay mechanics, and an intricately designed world where Nazis rule with bizarre technology, this game...
Review Cel Damage HD (PlayStation 4)
More like cell damage
Did you know that Cel Damage was originally a PlayStation 2 title that released in 2001? If you answered ‘yes’, then you may have seen this obscure, cartoon racer sitting in bargain bins, as this title received middling reviews during its first lap on the track. As such, it’s a bit odd to see the game resurrected for...

Through a child's eyes
In a first-person horror game where you play as a two-year-old child, Krillbite Studio's Among the Sleep has garnered a lot of coverage due to its unique premise and atmospherically-driven gameplay.

News This Is What BioShock Could Look Like on the PS4 with Unreal Engine 4
Would you kindly port this?
The original BioShock was released seven years ago. That's an astonishing statistic that makes us feel old, but Rapture still holds up well regardless. However, what if the game was re-mastered using the additional grunt of the PlayStation 4? We certainly wouldn't mind re-visiting its underwater, dystopian society, and...
News Destiny Composer Marty O'Donnell Fired 'Without Cause' from Bungie
Never forget

That's one of the reasons why we're more than excited for the studio's latest game Destiny, which is set to...
Review Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars (PlayStation Vita)
Born to try
Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars is one of the strangest games that you’ll ever play. Its premise – which, in essence, revolves around mating – provides an odd starting point, but get past this and you’ll find a surprisingly enjoyable excursion that’s only really let down by repetition and some unnecessarily sexual...
News Supergiant Games' Transistor Will Plug into the PS4 Soon

Trippin’ balls tremendously
You could look at TxK and pass it off as a simple indie game that harks back to the arcade shooter days of old. However, dismissing it as such would not account for the history and significance behind it. Jeff Minter, the game’s creator, has been in the industry since 1982, and is arguably best known for his 1994...

Review Don't Starve (PlayStation 4)
The hunger game
Nature is beautiful. We observe it from pictures and videos from the safety of our home. We get up close to it on vacations through tour guides and hikes. And sometimes, we even interact with it by camping in the wilderness, preparing with ample supplies and experiencing only a sliver of what it must be like to rough it for real. But...
News New Screens of Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Blow the Original's Visuals Out of the Water
Aveline de Grandpré looks better than ever
