Back in the deeply dark days of 1996, there was Duke Nukem 3D, a vintage first-person shooter in which the only thing bigger than Mr. Nukem’s sprawling arsenal of bang-bang, was the cuss-spewing mouth affixed to his square-jawed mug. Now, in 2019, we have Ion Fury.
Continuing on that grand...
If you've been paying attention to our social channels you would have seen the wonderful #loveindies campaign put together by Fail Better Games bringing you some great reviews of the ten best indie games you haven't played. We thought they were so good we wanted to collect them all in a single...
With Rage 2 out there doing the business, it’s worth shining a light on the fact that there is more to the game than it just being Shooter Man (or woman, actually) Mc Shooty Face Part Deux.
Indeed, roughly half of Rage 2’s design DNA (the shooty bits, obviously) come from The House That...

There are few more terrifying things than rats, so naturally developer Asobo Studio has made a game absolutely rammed to the hilt with the ruddy things. Set in 14th century France where everything is going catastrophically to pot, A Plague Tale: Innocence...
One of the best ways to bring people together at this time of year is through games. After all, there aren’t many things better than getting your headset on, nabbing a grab bag of snacks and some cans of fizz (cracker produced festive hats are optional), while you get some decent multiplayer...
With Battlefield 1, Verdun and the forthcoming Tannenberg all being furiously militaristic takes on The Great War, it's refreshing to see what motion picture outfit Aardman Animations and DigixArt Studio have accomplished with their latest effort, 11-11: Memories Retold. A decidedly pacifistic...
Now that Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has been and gone, fans of the series will invariably start thinking about what will be next for Ubisoft’s long-running series. Well, we’ve come up with five different directions (and titles!) that the series might embrace going forward, starting...
Due for release in just a few days, Shadow of the Tomb Raider puts a capper on the second rebooted trilogy of one of gaming’s most enduring icons. With development duties largely handed over to the experienced and practiced hands at Eidos Montreal, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is looking to be in...
Some years later after its release back in the mists of 2013, Payday 2 has continued to cultivate a rather large following. In no small part due to the fact that the Overkill developed title enables that long-held fantasy which Hollywood has cultivated for us - it turns out that it’s cool to rob...
