Dieselstormers Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Dieselstormers Preview   Dieselpunk. You’ve got to love it. After all, there’s nothing quite like the combination of that old Victorian flair and grimy environments and, well, diesel. Black Forest Games – the devs behind Giana Sisters, have envisioned their next game set in one such universe. Where knights in shiny armour use chainguns and oil turns humans into orcs (wait, what?). Set ...[Read More]
DESTINY BETA IMPRESSIONS
Ever since Bungie launched Halo on the original Xbox back in 2001 they have earned a kind of reverence from the console gaming community. Bungie have finished with Halo and have moved on to their next big project: Destiny. I’ve managed to get my hands on the Beta version of the game and I have to admit that while I’m impressed I have certain trepidations. I’ll get this comparison out of the way ea...[Read More]
Sacred 3 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Sacred 3 Preview    Has it really been six years since Sacred 2 was released? Indeed, we are getting old. While the wait for the third game in the series hasn’t been as prolonged as, say, the wait for Diablo 3, it’s been tough on fans of the franchise. Last year, we got a side-scrolling excuse in the way of Sacred Citadel, and if you weren’t too happy with the given characters and style,...[Read More]
Hazard Ops Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Hazard Ops Preview    Hazard Ops is a third person online shooter developed by Yingpei Games, The game is in the Beta test phase of development at the moment but I was lucky enough to get access and here’s my impressions so far. First of all there is a back story to Hazard Ops that the game itself doesn’t really go into but you can read up on the story from the Hazard Ops website. “It’s...[Read More]
Cosmic DJ Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Cosmic DJ Preview   A lot can be said for uniqueness. Whether it be the concept, gameplay or another important aspect of gaming, there is something special about an idea that has been previously untouched. As gamers we often witness botched imitations of certain game mechanics that only help solidify the original title’s strength in the industry, which can often create a negative impression su...[Read More]
Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms Preview – MOUSE n JOYPAD
Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms Preview    Don’t you just love games with generic titles? I mean, when you name a game, you’re basically giving it a tag that’s going to be the difference between people forgetting about it and mixing it with other titles, or make it memorable and snappy. Now, not everybody can get this right. GamesFarm, the devs of Shadows, seemingly have some trouble with this...[Read More]
GRID AUTOSPORT PREVIEW
Codemasters have built up a die hard fan base when it comes to the Grid series of games, a fan base that was sore to say the least at Grid 2. Codemaster admitted to going in a different direction in Grid 2, one that lost some realism and caused outrage among the fans. With Grid Autosport they hope to re-establish the series and bring those fans back into the fold. We had the chance to get some han...[Read More]
GearCity Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
GearCity Preview  While we, gamers, have access to a vast amount of ‘tycoon’ games available, there aren’t many that would simulate the ownership of a proper car company. In the last couple of months, several upcoming titles that deal with the given subject caught my attention. One of them – GearCity. GearCity is the first car-tycoon game to be released on Steam and as such will prob...[Read More]
The Forest Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
The Forest Preview   What constitutes a good horror game? It’s not monsters, nor is the game’s setting. The psychological side of things? God, no. It’s the combination of every single element of the experience, including the boogeymen, the location and everything else you might have thought of. Now, the main gripe most players have with horror games is that they’re usually very linear...[Read More]
Wasteland 2 Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
Wasteland 2 Preview   I’m pretty sure everybody knows about the Fallout franchise at this point, or at least about its newest, Bethesdian iteration. Now, Fallout had to get inspired by something, right? What we’ve got here is a direct successor to the first persistent post-apocalyptic RPG ever created – Wasteland 2. There’s a certain itch this game tries to scratch among the vete...[Read More]

I Shall Remain Preview | MOUSE n JOYPAD
I Shall Remain – Preview   Update It is worth taking note of the developers comments below, as they have pointed out that they are aware of the issues, and are working on them.  In the last couple of years, the zombie survival genre has taken over the place of the most saturated sub-genre currently on market. The throne that was held by the modern shooter games up to that point. By now, weâ€...[Read More]
