Splatoon 2 Preview
Splatoon 2, not called Splat2oon to many people’s dismay, is basically an upgraded Splatoon. It has ironed out all the small issues with the original game in the form of balancing and quality of life changes (as I was told). Egar to see if this was the case, I jumped…
ARMS – Preview
I think I’m not the only one who raised their eyebrows when ARMS was shown off in the Nintendo Switch direct. In concept, it looked interesting enough; a cute almost Splatoon like aesthetic mixed with Wii Boxing. But as every fighting game player will tell you, it rarely matters how…
The Nintendo Switch Preview
One of Nintendo’s largest shortcomings is their misunderstanding of their audience; this was proven by the Wii U, a console that played it way too safe and in the end became a sore spot for the company. Couple this with a misunderstanding of brands and a control scheme which, according…
WRC 6 Preview
Rally games have been around for quite some time now, with games like Championship Rally coming out in the early 90’s for the NES, to the late Colin McRae Rally games on the PlayStation One which evolved into the DiRT franchise we know today. World Rally Championship joined the scene…

We Happy Few (Early Access) Preview
We Happy Few is a game that has been on many people’s radar for quite some time after debuting at PAX East 2015 with a fantastic trailer and very early hands on demo for attendees.  You play as Arthur Hastings, a regular citizen of Wellington Wells; a dystopian English village…
Master X Master New Characters Preview
Since playing Master X Master a while ago, I have been psyched to see more of what it can do. The game switches things up in comparison to other MOBAs with its WASD controls and Alien Swarm style top down shooter combat. Things are looking great for this title and…
Ni-Oh Preview: More Like Ni-Uh-Oh
It was only a matter of time until the wave of Souls clones emerged from over the horizon. Just as Miyazaki and his crew hopefully go onto pastures new, a vanguard of other developers are coming to step in to fill the bonfire shaped hole in many players’ hearts. Ni-Oh…
Carmageddon: Max Damage Preview
Growing up I played two specific games that were way above my age range, the type of titles you would brag about with your friends as you got an odd hour or so to sneakily play it before your parents found out. One of these titles was Carmageddon, a reckless…

Acaratus First Look Preview
Mech combat is usually the realm of the action game, with franchises like Armoured Core and MechWarrior having you stomp around a battlefield in real time, firing off salvos from oversized missile batteries in the remains of some future tech city. Very rarely, besides the criminally forgotten Front Mission franchise,…

There are many MMOs to get your hands on, but sometimes you feel like you need something fresh and new to spark interest. Blade & Soul has done that for us as we have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of this title since its start in Korea back in 2012.…
Star Wars Battlefront Beta Impressions
The Star Wars: Battlefront beta just ended and we’ve been hammering away at it to see what DICE’s rendition of this classic series has to offer. Rather than just hearing the thoughts of one of our writers though, you lucky people get to hear the impressions from both Sam Foxall…
EGX 2015: Friday Round-Up
Today was my first on the show floor down at EGX 2015 in Birmingham, with there being a massive range of games to demo and see played within the halls of the NEC. I mostly got to play indies today, as the line for the big names were up to…
