The Dark Souls Trilogy just got a whole lot more ‘Dark Soulsier’.

Hands on Disco Elysium – An Absolute Mindfunk (preview)
Funnily enough, I find it hard to know where to start when presented with 150 playable games. And as I wandered up and down the isles of the indie section of this year’s EGX showfloor, that’s exactly what happened. Then, a neon glow.

The Surge – The Good, The Bad, and The Augmented DLC Review (PS4)
Hours of exciting playable content … thrilling showdowns with brand new enemies … an interesting story that enriches the narrative of the base game – this latest DLC for The Surge has none of that. And what The Good, The Bad, and The Augmented does offer is pointless, repetitive, and even broken in some places. Essentially, The Good, TheContinue reading “The Surge – The Good, The Bad, and The Augmented DLC Review (PS4)”
Hands on with Metro Exodus – Less Dark, More Larks (Preview)
Metro 2033 has to be one of my favorite games of all time. And one of the most underrated, in my opinion. No other title has quite been able to match the same levels of immersion that Metro provides. The extreme claustrophobia of the subterranean train tunnels, the gruesome beasts twisted by radiation, the almost occultContinue reading “Hands on with Metro Exodus – Less Dark, More Larks (Preview)”

Now Turtle Rock, co-creators of the original Left 4 Dead (under the nameContinue reading “Studio Behind Left 4 Dead Working on New Title in “Globally Known Game Franchise””
No, Microsoft Did Not ‘Win’ E3 2018 – Their Conference Was a Massive Let Down
And no, I’m not exaggerating. Microsoft have once again let gamers down with their underwhelming press conference at E3 2018. But that didn’t stop Phil Spencer weaving some lexical magic to try and convince us that ZERO new IPs was a good thing.

It’s a direct continuation of JD and the gang’s story, following on from the events of Gears of War 4.
