His name is Ogdo Bogdo. And he represents Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order at its most Souls-like. In my review, I mentioned that Respawn’s newest game draws from many AAA wells. It’s got the wall-running of Titanfall, the climbing and pulled-back perspective of old God of War, the puzzle-solving of Zelda, the platforming of Mario, […]
Few games have single-handedly changed the landscape of an entire genre like Capcom’s massively successful Resident Evil 4. Since the game’s initial launch on the Nintendo GameCube back in 2005, I can’t think of another singular title that (much like the franchise’s iconic undead enemies) simply refuses to die. While I’m partial to the underrated […]
Developers Draw Distance have announced that their part-visual novel, part-RPG game based in the World of Darkness universe, Vampire: The Masquerade — Coteries of New York, will be delayed. Not long, mind you. Only a week. According to the devs on the title’s Steam Community page, the reasoning for the shift from December 4 to […]
Right at the heart of Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts, tucked beneath all the archaic design and clunky controls, is an interesting kernel of an idea. After all, stretching out everyone’s favourite bit from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (that being ‘’Ghillies in the Mist’’) and expanding it into a Hitman-esque sandbox is certainly a […]
Last week, Nintendo’s first console foray into the new millennium, the Nintendo Gamecube, hit the age (in North America) where if it were a human, could finally play some of its own games. Some critics will point to the Gamecube keeping with Nintendo’s “kid-friendly” attitude as a reason for older fans to stay away. That’s […]
Based on the Hit Film is a series of articles looking at the video game spin-offs and adaptations of popular horror and movies. From Gremlins to Goosebumps, gateway horror is one of the most underappreciated niches of the genre. These movies might not be loved by all, but some directors like Henry Sellick seem to […]
Microsoft has announced that Frontier Developments’ Jurassic World Evolution and Konami’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate are part of the upcoming group of games for Xbox’s Games with Gold next month. Jurassic World Evolution, which also has a new DLC coming out December 10th, will be available from December 16 to January […]
Terminator Resistance feels like a spot-on adaptation of the film. Unfortunately, the film in question is Terminator Salvation. The surprise announcement of a first-person Terminator game set in the Skynet-controlled future was well…surprising, even with a new film arriving, but all the same, it was sort of welcome, after all, it’s been a while since […]
10 Chambers Collective are still working away at their squad-based FPS GTFO, which is scheduled to hit Steam Early Access before the year is out. To get the hype train going, the devs have released a new trailer showing what’s referred to as “The Rundown”. The Rundown is basically the menu you’ll get upon launching […]
Those (including myself) hoping for Blizzard to give longtime fans a remaster of Diablo II (which has long been rumoured to be in the works) have been dealt an unfortunate dose of reality. During a panel at ExileCon 2019, the creators of the Diablo franchise – Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik – shared […]
