LORDS OF THE FALLEN PREVIEW & GAMEPLAY
We were once again able to get some hands on playtime with Lords Of The Fallen recently, this time however we managed to capture some exclusive gameplay for you guys to enjoy. Firstly I would like to say that Lords Of The Fallen has been called a Dark Souls clone by many, and I actually think this is unfair to the game, yes it has elements that may remind you of the Dark Souls series, but by no me...[Read More]
PROJECT SPARK REVIEW
I have now spent a fair bit of time in and about the systems of Project Spark, I was a Beta tester and have been dabbling in the system since launch, so I guess it’s time for me to tell you what I think of it. Project Spark has been in the beta phase for a while now as Team Dakota and Microsoft tested how the community went about working in the intuitive environment that surrounds you in the game....[Read More]
Wasteland 2 Gets Updated – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Wasteland 2 Gets Updated  Despite being a niche game, Wasteland 2 has been widely accepted as one of the best games released this year, by both critics and audience-alike. InXile is intent on making it even better though, so they’ve cooked up a pretty hefty update to alleviate some of the pressing issues and balance things out just a tad bit nicer. One ...[Read More]
Johnny Gat’s 7 Deadly Sins Trailer | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Johnny Gat’s 7 Deadly Sins   Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride – for some, they are the Seven Deadly Sins. For Johnny Gat, they are devilish fun on his rampage through hell in Deep Silver Volition’s Saints Row®: Gat out of Hell stand-alone expansion. Can the Devil and his demonic allegiance withstand the persuasiveness of ...[Read More]
GABRIEL KNIGHT: SINS OF THE FATHERS REVIEW
While this may very well be the golden age of gaming, some things will never make sense to me. For example, we’ve been getting remakes and redux versions of games that are less than 10 years old left and right, but most gaming classics that actually deserve a real, worthy remake aren’t even planned to be getting such treatment. It was great to hear then, that the very first adventure of Gabriel Kn...[Read More]
Double Action Boogaloo | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Double Action Boogaloo   John Woo. John freaking Woo. Even his last name is a celebration within itself. Cast your mind back, if you will, to a time before the Wachowski’s made the film about slow motion gun fights between men who never changed their facial expression. Action junkies were already getting their fix off of John Woo films. These often poo...[Read More]
DIVEKICK ADDITION EDITION + REVIEW
Divekick has recently appeared on Xbox One for download with the name Divekick Addition Edition+, developed by the guys at Iron Galaxy Studios. When someone mentions fighting games to me, I generally shudder at the thought of having to bash my controller to within and inch of it’s life, trying to pull off the ultimate move. We all know the feeling of watching our character being used as a dummy fo...[Read More]
Randal’s Monday Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Randal’s Monday Preview  Grass is green, sky is blue and Daedalic Entertainment is very fond of point ‘n’ click adventures. Coming from a long line of games published by Daedalic that were usually among the second best in this ancient genre is Randal’s Monday – a rather quirky adventure that looks towards the Groundhog Day for inspiration. I&aci...[Read More]
RANDAL’S MONDAY PREVIEW
Grass is green, sky is blue and Daedalic Entertainment is very fond of point ‘n’ click adventures. Coming from a long line of games published by Daedalic that were usually among the second best in this ancient genre is Randal’s Monday – a rather quirky adventure that looks towards the Groundhog Day for inspiration. I’ve been privileged to playing the first couple of chapters of this story and can ...[Read More]
This War Of Mine Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
This War Of Mine Preview  Without trying to state the obvious, wars are terrible things. Fighting, killing, soldier against soldier. Sometimes entire nations are against each other, while civil wars make countries tear themselves apart. Many games refuse to acknowledge the grittier side of war, when it isn’t all about bursting into houses guns a blazing, shooting bad people for “democr...[Read More]
TICKLES TOP TEN DISAPPOINTING GAMES
Not every game you are likely to play is going to be great, hell, some will be downright terrible. Usually these games have clear warning signs and the savvy gamer can avoid these titles pretty easily. Sadly that’s not always the case and when the hype machine starts working overtime on a game it’s a safe bet that some of us will be fooled. There have been a few titles recently that have been pret...[Read More]
Independent Websites Being Pushed Out
Over this last year we have noticed a big change in the industry, a change that seems to be growing at an alarming rate. Big businesses have taken over and are currently pushing independent websites out of the picture. Since the start of this year many major publishers and developers have seemingly colluded and no longer give support to independent websites wishing to review their products. Why do...[Read More]
