Review by David W. Fly. Die. Repeat. Don’t let its name fool you. Futuridium may be set in the future but it has everything to do with the past. It’s a retrograde past of punishing difficulty levels, life-saving credits and pew-pew sound effects. Its aesthetic is a mash up of…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. FIFA is not a series I have had as much exposure to compared to the likes of Madden, but over the last few years I have really come to appreciate not just the real-world sport, but what a spectacular job EA Sports does in recreating the…
Read MoreImpressions by Matt S. I’m a big, big fan of Dead or Alive 5. I started relatively ambivalent with the original release, but it seems I just needed to spend a few hundred hours with the new vision for the series to fall fully in love with it, because with…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Having already spent a dozen or so hours in a rather rainy recreation of Seattle (I thought the real Seattle was permanently rainy? – ed), I wasn’t all that excited to jump back into the world of Infamous for a second time. inFamous: Second Son came…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. The below gameplay of Bloodborne should confirm what everyone already – the game is Demon’s Souls or Dark Souls set in Jack the Ripper’s London. I mean, sure the character has a gun, and sure the violence, gore and horror theme has been turned up to…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I truly love Warriors Orochi 3. I played it to death on the PlayStation 3 when it was initially launched, and to this day it is my most played Wii U game. Having had the opportunity to play the Ultimate version, which is due for the…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. So I had a chance to play one battle from Koei Tecmo’s upcoming Samurai Warriors 4. Excuse me for a moment while I fanboy here: WHOO BOY. The demo might have only been a few minutes long, but I am completely convinced that this will be…
