There is no deathmatch in Overwatch . Let that sink in for a moment. Here’s a first-person shooter wherein simply offing your opposite numbers for the duration of a match and then seeing at the end if your team has won or lost ju…
We haven’t yet seen a single second of in-game footage of Creative Assembly’s next project, and it doesn’t matter. If you spend your evenings hunched over miniatures, carefully drybrushing chainmail, or if you just love fantasy b…
When it comes to Rainbow Six Siege , one thing is for sure: it’s going to be completely different from the likes of Call Of Duty and Battlefield. Sure, those two titles have their differences, but Rainbow Six stands alone in the …
If the main criticism of the Call Of Duty series is that it lacks originality, then the reveal of Black Ops III isn’t going to help matters. Our first significant exposure to the game came in the form of a trailer that could hav…
Video games are synonymous with combat. The most common cliché among uneducated players is that games harbour and promote violence and blood. It’s a cliché which, sadly, isn’t totally unearned. Even games with a seemingly innocen…
It’s a bit of a crowded market for PC RPGs nowadays. In fact, there’s such a wealth of great stuff that it’s becoming hard to stand out from the pack. What can a dev do to catch the attention of consumers? Well, you can get the l…
Games sure do take you to some grim places. Whether it’s nomming on your crew in Sunless Sea or robbing from pensioners in This War Of Mine, we’ve done some pretty despicable things in order to survive. In Sheltered , the latest …
The downpour pitter-patters a tiny cacophony on our helmet as droplets stream down the visor. It is, as you can guess, raining, but this isn’t any rain. F1 2015 has some of the best falling water we’ve seen in a videogame: wheel…
This take on the not-so-humble MOBA genre has reached the final stages of its long-running beta phase. As the full game preps for launch, complete with a suitably filling roster of 30 characters to play as from the Warcraft maker…
A long time ago, in a gaming-verse not so far, far away, Free Radical Design’s Star Wars: Battlefront III died an unceremonious death, reportedly cancelled by LucasArts at the eleventh hour “for financial reasons”. Millions of f…
When we got the chance to grill Ed Schofield about Armikrog, one question loomed larger than any other: If claymation is such a difficult process to get right, why use it at all? “Clay is awesome! The inherently physical properti…
The future isn’t quite what we’d expected, if we’re being honest. It used to be a given that when a new Sony console was on the way, there would be a WipEout game in development to accompany it, showing off an exciting vision of …
Whoever said all the good game titles had already been used might have been onto something. The early days of gaming gave us some absolute belters of tongue-twisting titles as bedroom coders looked to make their efforts stand out…
Cybernetic enhancement, nanotechnology and combat androids you’d be forgiven for thinking we were talking about the new Deus Ex game (flip that page!) rather than the latest Call Of Duty. Keen to one-up last year’s Advanced Warfa…
Having a robot arm would be brilliant. Just imagine: giving your enemies a super-strength slap in the chops, winning every arm-wrestle, lifting even the heaviest bag of shopping with ease endless fun. Perhaps less so, however, in…
Shadow Of The Beast , the tough-as-leather Amiga side-scroller last seen in its second sequel in 1992, is getting a PS4 reboot. The Heavy Spectrum-developed title is a side-on, ultra-violent mix of ’80s era platforming and score-…
