Wow, another year has gone by already? I guess I should have noticed due to the mania at the shopping centres and another mediocre Star Wars movie screening in cinemas (don’t @ me). I suppose that means it’s time to make an obligatory Game of the Year list. And for me personally, 2017 is a hard year to pick a top three from because to be honest, there weren’t that many mind blowi...[Read More]
Reviewed on PS4, copy supplied by publisher. From the get go I want to make it very clear that my experience with Prey has been a very, very mixed bag. There are aspects of it that I adored, and other aspects that were mind numbingly terrible. Sci-fi horror is something that is very much up my alley, with the real measuring stick being story.

Speedrunners are crazy, you guys. The act of seeing how quickly one can beat a video game is taken extremely seriously by the speedrunning community. They outline rules for each run, ranging from needing to complete the game 100%, just having to reach the end of the story, or even being limited to certain weapons/items.

There’s also a new trailer, showing off some pretty nuts gunplay and more of the creepy s...[Read More]
QuakeCon is underway at the moment, which means finally, finally Bethesda have shown off some more details of the bombshells they dropped at E3. I guess that’s a pretty subjective statement, so specifically I’m talking about the new Prey and Quake Champions. First up, let’s start with Prey. Man, I know I’ve previously shared my disappointment that Prey is going to have...[Read More]
Arkane Studios president and creative director Raphael Colantonio has confirmed that the new Prey game revealed during Bethesda’s E3 presentation is “not a sequel, it’s not a remake,” and “it has no tie with the original.” “You have to look at it like a re-imagining of the IP,” he says. “You’re on a space station, there are aliens and you have ...[Read More]
