Watch the Dogs Launch Into Outer Space

You know, I really don't know what to make of Watch_Dogs 2 anymore. On the one hand, it does look like a hell of a lot of fun, everything you could ever ask for from a sandbox. It's got stunts, explosions, ridiculous hair, all the good stuff. On the other, it looks dumb as shit.…

Quantum Break

Remedy and I have an interesting relationship. On the one hand, their concepts are always rather intriguing, promising a great deal of potential for narratives and themes that I can really throw myself behind. With games created by a team that clearly have some genuine talent, with gloriously pretentious tastes that really tickle the self-indulgent…

Mass Effect Andromeda Initiative Is…a New Trailer

The mysterious Andromeda Initiative has been revealed to be...a trailer, and not a particularly good one at that. Adopting a recurrent sound akin to the Inception “BWONG" interspersed between snippets of bombastic actiony sequences. Mass Effect: Andromeda seems to be promising us...more Mass Effect. Don't get me wrong, it looks very pretty, and certainly feels…

Release the Deathwing Upon the Beta Xeno’s Horde

I might as well just write up a transcript of the above trailer, because there isn't much else to say.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan

Everybody move along, nothing to see here. No fun allowed! Wait, what, you mean you actually like fun?

Arise Wang and Co

When Shadow Warrior 2 meets Stan Bush, you know you're in for something truly special. And that would be two minutes of gratuitous, stylised and deliciously self-indulgent group carnage. Yes, that's right, it's not just the Wang that will be fucking these demons, with online, four player co-op to add ever more carnage to the…
