Review by Nick H. There has been a fair share of Alien games over the years, including the recent complete misfire that was Aliens: Colonial Marines. The franchise suits the game medium, since the developers can use the intimate first-person perspective to deliver a visceral sense of fear as you,…
Read MoreReview 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. It does not take long to realise that this is a fairly traditional Sherlock Holmes game, but it nevertheless does justice to the source material through its thick, foggy atmosphere that is just as immersive as it is thoughtful. The pacing is certainly a matter of…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Anomaly 2 is the third tower offence game from 11 bit studios, and it puts players to the test by providing them with very limited resources and requires lots of forward thinking if they are to drive back the aliens that have invaded and already decimated…

It’s difficult because it’s hard to look past the sheer hype machine that Activision sent into operation to ensure that this project, which cost hundreds of millions to produce, is a commercial success. In other words it’s so incredibly…
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 MoreReview by Matt S. You wouldn’t think that I’d find myself getting hooked on yet another version of Warriors Orochi 3. After playing the PlayStation 3 original release to death, and again spending an unhealthy amount of time in the Nintendo Wii U port, I found myself with a copy of…
