Video Game Review – The Escapists: The Walking Dead

by

Andy Naylor reviews The Escapists: The Walking Dead… By now everyone knows what The Escapists is about, (in case you don’t know) it’s a cutesy retro puzzle game with an addiction level that borders on worrying. The latest incarnation of it has team-ed (sorry) the game with the mammoth The Walking Dead TV franchise, so […]

Video Game Review – Wondershot

by

Scott Watson reviews Wondershot… Wondershot takes me back.  It takes me back to Friday nights with my mates, a PlayStation, a multi-tap, some beers and a ton of fun.  The fact that it draws to mind these nights of local co-op fun brings a smile to my face.  It plays on my nostalgia.  It reminds […]

Video Game Preview – Sheltered

by

Martin Carr previews Sheltered… Consider Sheltered a constantly evolving organic entity. Fancy words I know. But ultimately the most accurate when it comes to describing what we have.

Video Game Review – Firewatch

by

Villordsutch reviews Firewatch… Firewatch was voted Number.4 in Flickering Myth’s most anticipated video games of 2016 back in January. I myself have been watching Campo Santo’s latest release with bated breath since the kindling was first laid out in-front of us and now finally it appears on our machines and I’m so hoping this blazes […]

Watch footage from The Dark Knight cancelled video game

by

In 2005, Electronic Arts published a video game version of Christopher Nolan’s epic superhero reboot Batman Begins. It got mixed reviews, however due to Batman’s evident popularity and the hype surrounding the release of Nolan’s sequel The Dark Knight, another video game tie-in was warranted and EA and Pandemic Studios began working hard to get […]

Video Game Review – NOT A HERO

by

Scott Watson reviews NOT A HERO… BunnyLord wants to be Mayor. He wants to be mayor so badly that he’s traveled back in time from 2048 to enable him to save the world from absolute obliteration and alien invasion.  The only problem is, in order to convince the populace he should be elected he has […]

First Impressions – Tom Clancy’s The Division

by

Mike Mc Grath with some first impressions of Tom Clancy’s The Division… Tom Clancy’s: The Division is Ubisoft’s second attempt at an MMO style game and after playing around with the beta all weekend, I can safely say its their best although it does still have its issues. The video below has the same content […]
