Some time ago, a game under development caught my eye. Strongly influenced by classics such as Wolfenstien 3D and Doom, Wrack brings the player back to a simpler time in FPS history. The demo build I received from the developers, Final Boss Entertainment, may only have contained three levels but it was enough to make… Continue reading Hands-On: Wrack
Exactly as Planned
You’ve walked a thousand miles, slain a million foes, and finally, the world is safe. It’s okay to lay down your sword, because justice has been served, and evil has been slain. And then you hear someone clearing their throat. This is the Magnificent Bastard, and they’re about to break some bad news.
Review: Skullgirls
Let’s cut the suspense- Skullgirls is a letdown. It’s a project of big dreams, and it would be a hell of an understatement to say that it didn’t quite reach its goals. For every good idea, there are two bizarre omissions, and in the end, what we’re left with is a fighting game that just… Continue reading Review: Skullgirls

Review: Microsoft Flight
When Microsoft first announced its reboot of the Flight Simulator franchise, I was confused. Scenery limited to the islands of Hawaii, planes coming via paid DLC only, and the dreaded Games for Windows Live on top of all of that. While Microsoft seemed to take much of what was great about previous iterations like Flight… Continue reading Review: Microsoft Flight
Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2
Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 is a game about video games. And Transformers. And legendary popsicle men.
Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising
When considering Kid Icarus: Uprising there’s really only one question you need to ask. How seriously do you take your video games? There are different ways to take your video games seriously. Some people invest themselves intellectually and emotionally into single player narratives, watching storytelling in the medium evolve and occasionally are deeply moved themselves. … Continue reading Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising
British Academy Video Game Awards 2012
Once again it’s March and that means the BAVGAs. Once more hosted by Irish comedian Dara O’Briain. Opening with a terrible “arrow in the knee” joke, then lambasting ITV for its use of ARMA II footage as never-before-seen footage of the IRA. Surprisingly no quips about the current status of BAVGA sponsor GAME. This year introduces the “Performer” award.
How Fighting Games Fail
Is there anything like the rush of a really good fight? Whether in an arcade (read this article to know more about arcades) or in your living room, playing Street Fighter or Tekken, there’s something at the core of fighting games that is just an incomparable experience. There are no powerups, there is no kill… Continue reading How Fighting Games Fail
Starhawk Beta Impressions

So, the Vita has launched today and some of our writers and readers are playing with theirs as I type. While I do not own one myself I have observed the biggest part of the Vita that may play into its future growth: The Twitter app.
Retrospective: Gatohando
The PS2, a lot of gamers would agree, had the best library of any console yet. It was just gigantic, and it had so many gems, and so many games that dared to take chances and do new things. Whenever you ask someone what their favorite PS2 game is (assuming they’re a gamer), they may… Continue reading Retrospective: Gatohando
Review: Analogue – A Hate Story
Let me get this out of the way first of all: I am not a big fan of visual novels. Rare is the visual novel that can capture my attention and I know many others feel this way too. Katawa Shoujo recently released to much press attention for its touching stories and well-crafted characters, but… Continue reading Review: Analogue – A Hate Story
