Bounty Train Preview    Alright, on a show of hands, how many of you have played any Wild West games that you thought were awesome? Ok, now exclude any that were 3rd or 1st person shooters? I mean I can’t see you, not yet anyway, but I figure that most of your hands have gone down. Which if you think about it, is pretty interesting. Why hasn’t anyone created anything other than, well let’...[Read More]

Warshift Preview    If there’s one feature I’m sure many RTS gamers have always wanted in their favourite games, then it’s the ability to take control over a single unit mid-combat to watch the chaos unfold in real-time. Imagine playing something like Supreme Commander from the perspective of a low-tier mech. Practical? Hell no. Awesome? Absolutely. Mind you, this has been done numerous t...[Read More]

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power Preview   It almost feels like it was yesterday that I played Trine for the first time. A real marvel of a game, it was. Not only did it feature beautiful graphics and phenomenal physics, but there were also some really good puzzles to be found as the three unlikely heroes made their way through the given encounters. It was a different kind of sidescroller/platfor...[Read More]

Total War: Arena Preview   The Total War Series has always been a hit or miss for me. I have played some of the older games like Total War: Rome or Total War: Medieval II but vaguely touched up on Total War: Shogun 2 or Total War: ATTILLA. I remember hardly showing any interest with Total War: Medieval II – apart from the immense battles – because of the intense amount of political standpoin...[Read More]

LEGO Worlds Preview   Don’t you just love it when people compare a game you like with some other, much more popular, vaguely-similar-but-only-on-first-glance title? This is what’s happening with LEGO Worlds now, and I guess it was to be expected for it to garner Minecraft comparisons, but from the time I’ve spent with it, it’s a wholly different game altogether.   Climbing is quite ...[Read More]

Big Pharma Preview   Big Pharma is a complex game. Much more so than some of its screenshots might suggest at first. Its graphics makes it look similar to, say, Game Dev Tycoon, which is a fairly simplistic title, especially when compared to Big Pharma. The truth is that it’s a very intricate title that shares some of its DNA with the now-ancient Theme Hospital.   It’s not as compl… o...[Read More]

Combat Arms: Line of Sight Preview   Combat Arms: Line of Sight attempts to bring the Call of Duty experience to a free-to-play PC shooter with a few tricks up its sleeve. The game is set in an alternate future with cybernetic implants and upgrades that give soldiers abilities to use on the battlefield. Ranging from a handheld bolt of fire to an exploding satellite, the powers add a cool twist t...[Read More]

Rebel Galaxy Preview   Space is a vast, empty vacuum. Planets and star systems as far as the eye can see, rebel fighters and militia trading vessels litter the galaxy, and the space blues never stops playing. Our own humble Milky Way may not have much in the way of intergalactic spacecrafts, but Rebel Galaxy has plenty to spare. Rebel Galaxy’s universe is in a constant tug-of-war that includes...[Read More]

The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing III Preview   If you haven’t been living under a rock for the last couple of years, you surely know that the hack ‘n’ slash genre is undergoing a resurgence of sorts, with a fair number of titles fighting for our attention and money. There’s the Grim Dawn, for example, which is getting better and better with each newly released build. Torchlight 2...[Read More]

The Weaponographist Preview   It just doesn’t pay to be a selfish creep. Sure, you may amass all the wealth you’ve ever wanted, but what happens when a witch who sees through your megalomania strips you of everything you hold dear? Well, that’s the premise behind Weaponographist, a new game developed by Puuba and published by Mastertronic. The game stars the cocksure and arrogant demon sla...[Read More]
