June 9, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

E3 is the big game expo. It’s Monday and Microsoft have been speaking. Let’s take a look at their announcements and have a go at sorting the games into roleplaying tiers.

Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded trailer

June 3, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Game developer Crytek is keeping busy announcing new titles. Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded caught my attention.

In addition, Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded will be part of Crytek’s “Games-as-a-Service” approach. Normally “as-a-Service” propositions are free […]

Sponsored Video: Spying on The Evil Within

June 3, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Early last year Geek Native showed The Evil Within trailer. The game is a partnership between Skyrim’s Bethesda and the creator of Resident Evil. Trailers are one way to get a feel for a game but in a way they undersell the sort of immersive horrors that Shinji Mikami is known for. We’re all pretty […]

Prepare for awesome: Super Mario Bros on 4 monitors

March 13, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is what Super Mario Bros looks like when it’s played on four wide screen computer monitors. It looks more than four times better than before. There must be tactical advantages too as you’re able to see what’s coming up. We can see more than World 1-1 in this way too. The Japanese engineer who […]
