A German Vampyr in London
With the run-up to E3 kicking into high gear, everyone and their uncle is teasing and assuring us of what we can expect from them. Queue DONTNOD with some new screenshots for their upcoming Action-RPG Vampyr. Set at the end of the First World War, it follows the exploits of Doctor Jonathan Reid, and his…
Styx: The Darkness Must Flow
In typical Focus fashion, the sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows was announced more than a year hence. Followed by an entire year, and then some, of silence. Until now, with the three images teasing us about things to come. The first shows the return of the elves, which is no surprise, but not exactly…
The Technomancer Friendomancer
It's a busy time for Focus, they have several games on the way across this and next year. The one I'm, perhaps, most excited for personally is The Technomancer. Which as well as being (I'm certain of it!) a prequel to Mars: War Logs, once again shows Spiders' continued upward trend for their games. There…
A Real Bright Spark – Project Spark Cancelled
Following on from the official dissolution of Lionhead, Microsoft have now announced they are officially shutting down Project Spark as well. Effective from yesterday, the game can no longer be downloaded, and as of the 12th of August all service will cease. The official reason is unclear, but does state that active development ceased during…
Calling Cthulhu Into Focus
We have a tiny peak into the word of Call of Cthulhu for you today. It's not the first time a Focus published game has dabbled in the Cthulhu mythos. Magrunner was, quite literally, about Cthulhu in space, and our boy Holmes has tangled with him at least once. With a fair possibility of him…
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Opening
In a video just shy of twelve minutes, Frogwares are treating us to a guided tour through the opening scenes of their latest chapter in the Sherlock Holmes series - The Devil's Daughter. But fear not, the majority of the plot relevant stuff has been cut out, so we can experience it unspoiled on the…
EA, What’s All This Then?
Things are looking up for EA right now. Not merely financially (Battlefront moved fourteen million units) but with gamers alike. They seem to be moving back towards their “maybe we should give our customers what they want?” approach to fleecing us for every penny. Something they have a habit of doing about once a decade.…
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…
