The Crew Wild Run

When The Crew originally arrived back in 2014, it caught most people’s attention for being something genuinely unique in the world of MMOs. An open world, co-operative/PVP based driving simulator. With a cohesive, albeit often very silly (I heard it on the dark web!) single player story. Rapidly gaining far more attention for persistent network…

A Dead Island of Dimensions

Have you ever been playing Dead Island and thought “yeah, this game's okay, but it'd be better if it was a 2D, sidescrolling beatemup”? Neither have I, but Deep Silver made Dead Island Retro Revenge anyway. Say hello to Max, who sounds a hell of a lot like Black Jack. His kitteh has been kidnapped…

Fear the Sushee

With the Fear Effect Kickstarter a little over a week from completion, developer Sushee have uploaded a short gameplay video to help drum up some extra excitement. Showing not only how combat works, but also a quick look at the kinds of puzzles we can expect to come across on our journey. The latter being,…

Kicking InSomnia Into High Gear

We've spoken about this a few times, though not so much recently. To the extent, actually, that I almost thought InSomnia had been cancelled. Which would have pissed off all the Kickstarter backers no doubt. Then again, some of them are likely to be pissed off anyway, because it's gone back to Kickstarter. After raising…

Michonne and Clementine: It’s Time For What We Deserve

As Michonne steps out of the spotlight, we have some words from Robert Kirkman about a full-fledged season 3 of Telltale's The Walking Dead. The former wraps up the events surrounding the titular character's break from the main group and, hopefully, will bring a degree of closure to her life. At least, as much as…

Fear the Effect of Kickstarter

Some years ago, back in the heady days of the PlayStation, as in the PlayStation, without any number following it, yeah, back then, believe it or not, Square Enix (or Squaresoft as they were then known) didn't suck. To be fair, they don't really suck now, but they are far from what they used to…

Crewsin’ Through the Air

There was a rather hefty new update for The Crew yesterday. A not insignificant 1 GB that brought with it some bike focused new Summit events and a few extra tools to the video editor. Did you know The Crew has a video editor now? Yeah, really. And a picture mode too. Both of which…

Mars: Technomancer Logs

Spiders released a new trailer and some screenshots, yesterday, for their next title The Technomancer. Almost certainly a prequel to their highly underappreciated (though admittedly flawed) Mars: War Logs. Though Spiders have been oddly cagey about confirming this so far, it's abundantly clear that it, at the very least, takes place in the same universe.…

The Fall of Nosgoth

The Legacy of Kain MOBA is closing down. That's pretty much all she wrote really. It lasted the better part of three years, and came quite a long way in that time. But an announcement on the Nosgoth forum confirms all servers will close next month. The reasons for why are not stated, but are…

Daedalic Games From GDLC 2016

At this year’s GDC, Daedalic gave us some details of several new games being added to their line-up. Crazy Machines 3 and Candle are both puzzle type games, with the former using physics and the latter including...traps? Yeah, that caught my attention as well. Meanwhile, The Long Journey Home is a space epic about...a long…

Sherlock Holmes: The Devil is Elementary Details

Following the well earned success of their previous Sherlock Holmes outing, Crimes and Punishments, which took the series into a fully three dimensional world. Frogwares, now teamed up with the internationally renowned Bigben Interactive (not a British company, interestingly enough) to bring a brand new chapter which seems to be pitting our intrepid investigator against Lucifer himself.…
