Game Previews

We only recently heard about Injustice 2 actually being a thing and that it would be arriving on PS4 and Xbox One in 2017. However, Ed Boon is doing the marketing circuit as he promotes the next fighting...

Upon its release, 10 Second Ninja provided players with plenty of fast-paced robot-Nazi-killing fun across 40 levels, all completed within 10 seconds. If you’ve played 10 Second Ninja, you'll understand that it leaves you questioning...

Side-scrolling shooters keep getting improved and reinvented over the years. Somehow, such a straightforward genre consistently produces some of the best video games known to man. In any time period, you can easily find a...

F1 fans are looking to be getting a very detailed game when F1 2016 releases this summer. Codemasters have revealed that the next entry in the popular racing franchise will have a career mode that spans over...

Now-a-days, it seems that most horror games go down two certain design paths: Either the route of Outlast and Amnesia where players must frantically run and hide in order to survive overpowering enemies, or the...

Oi! You there. Come here. C'mon, I wouldn't hurt you. Let me get a look at your face. Ah...Ah ha! You're not from this land! Y'see people here get that look around these parts. Yes! That...

This has been one of the most interesting things to me, as most information until now has evaded the discussion of what Pokémon Go's combat really is like. We already knew that there would be gyms...

DontNod are taking on something slightly different as their follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed Life is Strange. Their next game, Vampyr, focuses on Dr. Jonathan Reid, who is struggling with whether to maintain the duties of...

When I was younger, at school “History” was synonymous for “nap time”. Perhaps it was the teacher, immaturity or the constant dragging up of World War Two as though that was the only thing the...

Black Desert Online has received quite a bit of attention since it was first announced. Now the popular MMORPG will be receiving a new expansion that begins with the first part being released on June 1st....

If there is one game genre that always inspires scepticism in me (besides how awkward it is we use film genres for games, but that's a discussion for another day), it is horror. Don't get...

Back in 2011, Mode7 released an unusual shooter called Frozen Synapse. Where most games seem to exist between the two strategy genres of either a turn-based or real-time form of strategy, Frozen Synapse existed in...

The Long Journey Home is the ambitious first title from German-based studio, Daedalic Entertainment West. It’s a rich, single-player space exploration title that beautifully blends retro sensibilities with modern game design. Inspired by Star Control,...

I am a VR evangelist, and today's demo at EGLX 2016 in Toronto just gave me another reason to love the technology. In the VR demo room, there were a few virtual reality setups to...

Did you think that was all for EGX Rezzed news? During EGX Rezzed I managed to get an interview with Emeric Thoa, creative designer at The Game Bakers, makers (or bakers) of a top-down, boss-fight simulator called...

Isolation is a major theme in most survival games, and while We Happy Few adheres to this theme, it's unlike any survival game (or action/adventure game) you've ever played. Instead of physical isolation, this game...

Randall is a 2D metroidvania-style action platformer developed by Mexico based indie studio, We The Force. You (unsurprisingly) play as Randall, a badass (and mildly schizophrenic) anti-hero taking on a corporation responsible for brainwashing everyone...

Dead Years is the first title from two-person, Montreal based Studio ZeroByte. It's a narrative heavy, quest-based title set in a cell-shaded, open world zombie apocalypse. You play as both a girl and her dog,...

Shiny, the first title from Brazilian based Garage 227 Studios, is an adorable cross between WALL-E and Oddworld. Set on a world facing eminent annihilation as it hurls towards the sun, this 2D action platformer...

Last week, in the shadow of the great Pax Rex (seriously, that thing was awesome), I was afforded the pleasure of speaking with co-founder of Wildcard Studios and co-creator of Ark: Survival Evolved, Jesse Rapczak....

Regardless of your preferred input method, whether it be touchscreen, controller, or fake plastic instrument, most rhythm games are pretty much just pressing buttons when prompted. Tom-Ivar Arntzen, Art & Game Designer (and sole employee)...

The VR experience is all about immersion. It’s about strapping a screen to your eyeballs so you can look around and feel like you’re really within the game world, which makes what I am about...

From Action Button and Iron Galaxy Studios comes another contender in the blossoming "alt-sports" genre, Videoball. The game follows Rocket League's formula of asking players to perform an uncomplicated task (put the ball in the end...

If you've ever wondered what a cross between Geometry Wars and Othello would look like, well Inversus is the answer. Created solely by former Bungie developer Ryan Jucket, Inversus is a 1-4 player, minimalistic shooter. You...
