I have been dying to see a developer create a game to compete against the now illustrious Souls Series by FromSoftware. For years those games have graced my television screens, but there have never really been any direct competitors out there to this type of RPG. That was until CI…

Horror is back, but not as you might think. The Evil Within, the latest game from Shinji Mikami, screams his trademark look and feel while being in spirit with the likes of Resident Evil 4. The Evil Within surely is a tense game, complete with ghoulish and gross creatures and…

The PlayStation 4 has been home to many different genres over its year in existence, but when it comes to high fantasy turn based combat games, there is somewhat of a gap in the market. Natural Doctrine is intended to be placed within this void, to give next generation gamers…

With Freedom Wars, SCE Japan Studio has tried to combine a story about living in a hyper Orwellian society which sentences you to hard labour for 1,000,000 years for the crime of being born, with the resource collecting, big creature killing of games like Monster Hunter or God Eater. Does…

In Dungeon of the Endless, Amplitude Studios tries to combine tower defence, dungeon crawling, RPGs and real time strategy to create a new hybrid roguelike. Does this attempt to mesh these genres together create a compelling dungeon crawl, or should it stay in the depths? The game tasks you as…

Handheld consoles and mobile platforms have taken massive strides in recent years, but not many people could have predicted that this advancement would lead to anywhere near the end result offered by the Razer Edge. Claiming to offer the best of three worlds, as a PC, console, and tablet, the…

Platinum Games continues its dominance of the spectacle fighter genre with the release of Bayonetta 2, bringing over the top action exclusively to the Wii U, to the dismay of some fans. With many outlets praising the game as the second coming of Karate Christ, does this action game blow…

The mythology of vampires has been interpreted in many different ways in the past few years, with the adult focused Vampire the Masquerade and light hearted representations in The Sims 3 providing opposite ends of the spectrum. The latest title from NIS America, Akiba’s Trip Undead and Undressed, is another…

Up until the release of Persona 4, it is likely that many gamers would not have heard of the Shin Megami Tensei series. However, with easily accessible gameplay, numerous spin off titles and two anime adaptions to boot, the franchise has now been firmly placed on the map. In what…

It sure has been a long time coming, but Level-5 and 1-Up’s adorable RPG, Fantasy Life, has finally made it to Western shores. Released in Japan back in 2012, the game has made moderate waves over the course of its already lengthy life, but will Fantasy Life’s new audience enjoy…

I have been a big fan of the LotR games for as long as I can remember. And out of entry, Shadow of Mordor can be easily placed as the greatest "serious," (sorry Lego games) LotR game to date. The game starts off with your protagonist, Talion losing his wife,…

I’m sure by now you’ve seen the plethora of less than stellar reviews that Destiny has received. Considering the amount of money thrown behind the project by Activision and Bungie’s track record with Halo, it’s surprising to see such low scores. So does Destiny deserve the hate? Kind of. Right…

After going through demos, leaks and streams of Japanese footage, Super Smash Bros for 3DS is finally here and ready to kick off this installment of the Smash series. As well as being a brand new iteration, this edition of the game is the first ever Smash game designed for…

Do you like the look of Khans of Tarkir? Are you interested in playing Magic with your friends? Then this might interest you. With the most recent set hitting the shelves, Wizards of the Coast have released another Duel Deck for us all to indulge. This time it is a…

Compile Heart are no strangers to the JRPG market, with their Hyperdimension Neptunia series proving very popular due to its unique take on the console war in the previous generation. Fairy Fencer F is the latest European release from the company, originally released in Japan almost twelve months ago. It…

It is not uncommon for characters in one game to spin off into their own title, but Team 17’s latest title Flockers certainly takes that to a new level. To many people Team 17 means Worms, but Flockers builds upon elements of Worms and takes it in a different direction.…

Intro When it comes to releasing accessories for your personal computer, Logitech are one of the few brands that cover the entire spectrum. Their latest range of gaming mice has made a brazen attempt to cater for the first person shooter crowd, claiming to have the fastest response time and…

Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc was a runaway hit for the Vita when released last year, after originally being denied an English release for the PlayStation Portable in 2011. Taking elements from many visual novel adventures such as Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton, it added a homicidal twist by including an…

If you smashed baseball, hip hop and Dragon Ball Z together, you’d probably get Lethal League, the new projectile fighting game by Team Reptile. Like Divekick before it, Lethal League strips away many of the complexities of fighting games to leave the satisfying core of reading your opponent, making split…

The Walking Dead Season Two has been a long and treacherous journey. We’ve lost countless companions, travelled God knows how far across the country, and killed a lot of zombies. No Going Back finally sees all our hard work come to an end, but is it a satisfying conclusion to…

What happens when you scream whilst stood amongst a pack of zombies? Well, they try to eat you. Welcome to the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead Season Two - Amid the Ruins; one of the most agonising yet enjoyable experiences of the season so far. Try not to get…
