Sometimes a continuation just isn't on the cards. It could be too expensive, the dev team could have disbanded or one of a thousand other reasons could be getting in the way between fans and the next entry into a beloved game. Comics about games already come out fairly often,…

Back in November 1992, SEGA released Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a sequel to the best selling Mega Drive (Genesis) original. With the addition of a second playable character, ten all new zones and a two player versus mode, the development team had struck gold rings. The game eventually sold over…

The recent release of DayZ Standalone allowed us to see it's its popularity in the form of sales. Many of those buyers would have originally played DayZ's original iteration, DayZ Mod, a mod based around ARMA II . Since the standalone is essentially the product the mod was leading up…

Love isn't something I find translates well into the world of gaming, yet we see it all the time. Very rarely do we play something that doesn't have a crudely shoe-horned love interest, someone we are meant to give a damn about when they either get kidnapped or killed off.…

The internet has bought many great things to the world of gaming. Today we can play online with people all over the world, we can use downloaded mods to enhance our titles, and we can even turn to google for help should we get a little lost. However, there are…

SEGA finally lifted the lid on Sonic Boom, a new game and 3D animated cartoon show, coming as a surprise to many. One of the big talking points on the day of the reveal was the new look given to Sonic and co. Amid all the controversies and jokes you’ll…

Ever have one of those weeks where you have too much time to think? I had one this week and it led me to the conclusion that SEGA’s beloved blue mascot, Sonic the Hedgehog is just a past form of Slenderman. No I’m not on drugs, just hear me out…

How many times have you looked at a game and felt like it looked liked another one? Have you ever played a game and thought to yourself that it plays like another title you have put your hands on? Well today it is time to look into whether these noticeable…

In this video, I go into detail about my thoughts on the recently revealed game by TECMO KOEI and Namco Bandai, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn. The game promises to be the biggest Gundam title in the series yet with more suits, more pilots and more action than ever before. I…

With a confirmed Halo title on the cards, many fans of Master Chief’s adventures are waiting to see what the next iteration holds, whether it's a reboot of an old favourite, or an entirely new adventure. Whilst the wait continues, I want to take a look at the history of…

Combining the traditional role playing game with social networking elements was probably one of the best decisions Atlus ever made. With four critically acclaimed entries in the main series and a fifth in development, it would not be too far out of field to say that the Persona series is…

With Legacy of Kain returning to our screens in the form of Nosgoth, a multiplayer shooter, many gamers have wondered how the series would come back as a single player action adventure experience. The likelihood of this occurring is slim, however. The Soul Reaver games were created by a team…

Popular games critic TotalBiscuit has landed himself in a situation very similar to the one between himself and Day One: Garry's Incident creator, Wild Games Studio. After uploading "WTF Is...- Guise of the Wolf?", TotalBiscuit was issued a copyright strike, taking the video down and giving TB a second copyright strike.…

Following the massive success of The Walking Dead, episodic games have suddenly been catapulted into the lime light. The design may be far from new, but it is only through Telltale’s recent achievements that they have really begun to captivate us. Some bigger developers such as Irrational Games have even…

It could be argued that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition releases a year-old game with a day-one price tag. Charged at full price ($60 in the US), the game is essentially a port of last year’s third-person adventure reboot but with graphical upgrades and all DLC content included. The main game…

It has been just under a decade since the last Thief title came out, and some would argue even longer since the last 'good' Thief game. In that time the stealth genre has bust wide open. There have been five Splinter Cell Games, over six Metal Gear titles, a new…

These days, collectibles are everywhere you look in gaming. Whether they’re coins, monsters or audio tapes, you’d be hard pressed to find a title that doesn’t feature collectible items in some shape or form. While in many cases they are a welcome addition to the game experience, as the years…

Blind-siding many, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has raised quite a few eye-brows. Not just because it is a different angle on what we have come to expect from a Lord of the Rings game, or LotR in general, but also because it looks remarkably like Assassin's Creed. Free-running across rooftops…

It’s a familiar story these days. An incredible game is released to critical acclaim, everyone you know has brought it, everyone is playing it and those who have completed it are clamouring for more. The developers comply and announce a sequel: bigger, better, stronger. At every turn we see a…

Do you remember back in the original PlayStation days when we were graced with the presence of Resident Evil? This survival horror gem took us by surprise and made us hide behind our blankets more often than any scary movie. As the series continued we kept playing and we kept…

2013 was a great year for games. Or was it? Over the holiday period that is largely how I felt. I was unsure whether the last 12 months had really been as amazing as when I first sat down to play all of the games I thought were brilliant, innovative,…
