BattleTech is back, in the first new installment using the BattleTech licence since 1990's BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge. We've had MechWarrior games, but the primary series has been sadly neglected until Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive resurrected the BattleTech...
Phoenix Point is the next game from Julian Gollop. Julian Gollop is a name that you might not have heard, especially if you're younger, but his legacy is huge in the PC Gaming world. He is behind great games such as Chaos, Laser Squad, but most importantly: XCOM.
Hopefully you've heard of XCOM,...
Earth Day 2018 falls on Sunday 22 April, and given recent revelations concerning widespread plastic pollution and accelerating climate change, it will surely be given more public attention – and trigger more environmental activism around the world – than ever before. So, if you’re concerned...
Recently the EGX Rezzed event took place in the Tobacco Docks venue in London. Members of the Green Man Gaming team attended, and during their time there they took some time to play Cultist Simulator, a game which will be fully released on the 31st of May, 2018.
Soon after our social media...
I played Wargroove at EGX Rezzed after following it for months and months. It was another one of those games that promised an Advance Wars spiritual successor, but I've been burned before. Into The Breach was looking like the best hope, but that became more of a puzzle game where you have only 3...
I had a freelance artist friend who worked from home a lot, and he watched copious amounts of Let's Plays whilst working. If I had a day off or came over in the evening, I'd bring my Playstation and I'd play whilst he worked and watched. A live Let's Play, so to speak. There was one game however,...
Role Playing Games have been having a bit of a renaissance on the PC in the last few years. We've seen games like Pillars of Eternity, Legend of Grimrock, the remastered Avernum series, and Wasteland 2 reinvigorate the traditional style of cRPG. We've seen new takes on the cRPG formula, like...
I wouldn't be so gatekeeping as to suggest that only people who grew up in the 90s like me suffered the continuous disappointment of games that had been made from popular films. One of the worst games of all time is the infamous E.T. on the Atari 2600, the game that is blamed for the home video...
There are more and more games appearing on Steam every single day, and that's great. More games means more people making games, more people playing games, and just more games out there. Not all are good certainly, but some will be breathtaking and with more games out there, the amount that are...
I saw Pacific Rim: Uprising at the weekend, and it was enjoyable. Not amazing, but fun. I want to tell you why, if I had it my way, the series should continue until it gets great or dies trying.
Pacific Rim does something that no other film series does. When the only monster films you're exposed...
It's been twenty years since the original Jumanji stampeded into cinemas, and since then the titular boardgame has been busy. Salvaged after the end of the original film by young Alex Vreeke in 1996 it realised that Alex wasn't going to play it in its current form, so it morphed itself into a...
