Even in Pre-Alpha, ELEX Looks Pretty Damn Alpha

Likely to fall under the umbrella of being called a Dark Souls clone, ELEX, by German studio World of Piranha Bytes, is one you should most certainly keep your eye on. Best know for their Gothic and Risen series', their latest seems to be focusing more on the action side of action/RPG. Adopting a “science…

Tempest – Open World Pirate Action Hits Steam

The title says it all. Do you really need to know more? Well, there's more anyway. Because this is no ordinary pirate adventure. You can, of course, build your fleet of friends and go board ships for the booty or you can set sail on the open seas and do battle with giant sea monsters.…

Get Even, Challenge Reality Itself in 2017

Remember back, ooh, a good couple years now. When The Farm 51 came out with some truly stunning digitally constructed environments? It looked like some kind of abandoned school room, perhaps. All old and worn down, with cracked walls and such. Then about a year later we got some more tidbits about a game they…

Resident Evil 7 Shines a Lantern on its Gameplay

Well, well, well. It looks like Capcom are really committed to adding some horror to Resident Evil 7. Pontefract, the above trailer from this year's Gamescom. Apparently taking place entirely in game, not just in engine, it adopts a first person perspective for a rather creepy game of cat and mouse. A frightened, heavy breathing…

Ubisoft @ Gamescom 2016

Ubisoft are kicking up a real stink at this year's Gamesom. Drifting, at a leisurely pace, all the way across the pond from the good ol U S of A. Ladies and gentlemen, The Fractured but Whole is ready to unleash itself upon the world. Coming this December, and offering the previous game gratis for…

The Crew Wants YOU to Join the Police

It's been a wee while since anything of any real substance came out of The Crew. After the Wild Run expansion, there wasn't a whole hell of a lot that needed doing, truth be told. Apart from fixing that ruddy bug where maps won't load properly! Though it may seem like Ubisoft have been sitting…

Deck13 Surge Into Gamescom

It would be easy, and honestly not inaccurate, to call Deck13's The Surge “Lords of the Fallen with mech suits.” But at the same time, that would be doing it a great disservice. As this quarter hour of gameplay shows, there's a lot more to it than that. Once you look past the basic presentation…

Gamescom Takes a Moment of Silence

The masters of point and click are back with something that appears to not be point and click. But is just as visually striking as any of their moving paintings. Here we have Silence, which follows the adventures of young Noah...and two other people as yet unconfirmed. Promising approximately 12 hours of gameplay, set during…

Falling Out of Gamescom Season

Ahh Focus, you foxy devils you. On the one hand, you give us the grandiose, “triple AAA” blockbusters. And then there are the small, niche, gloriously pretentious “indie” titles like Swing Swing Submarine's Seasons After Fall. A 2D puzzle adventure game about a wild fox, getting to grips with his new body and generally...foxing about.…

You da Pan Man

With a little over a week to go, Might and Delight have opened up pre-orders on their next title. The soon to be released Pan-Pan, which mixes two of my favourite things. Cel shading and...Might and Delight. Not gonna' lie, I'm quite fond of their work, and am rather looking forward to getting my hands…

If You Can Smell What the Cart is Cooking

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is getting a VR peripheral that lets you smell farts. If you need any more information than that...what the hell is wrong with you?! You strap it to your face and...you smell farts. Which are a special attack in the game. It's called the Nosulus Rift and it is…

Nordic Games Become THQ Nordic

Remember a few years back, when THQ was writhing in its death throes and the entire universe seemed intent on snatching up a piece of it? There was this virtually unknown group called Nordic, that slid in and somehow managed to snap up Red Faction and Darksiders, amongst other things. Well, in a move not…

Hack the Planet Dawg

The latest offering about Watch Dogs 2 presents some of the signature characters, and further presents them as heroes. Fighting the noble fight, bringing dark things to light. The so called Hacktivist archetype. Perhaps best known in the real world due to the group Anonymous, who released some information about major political figures with Ku…

Quantum Steam

After a lukewarm reception on the Windows Store, Remedy have taken the more financially sound decision of bringing Quantum Break to Steam. Coming September 14th, it will now be available both digitally, and in a collector's Edition retail box (in partnership with Nordic), for a price of $/€39.99. Yes, that's right, both will cost the…
