Shotgun wielding Revenant: Doom trailer
Bethesda Softworks’ Doom trailer is just a heartbeat or two long. That’s still probably enough time to die in the hands of this shotgun wielding Revenant. The game has had some delays, is no longer known as Doom 4 but is expected out for the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 some time in the […]
Updating Half-Life 2 with modern graphics
There’s some chat that this impressive update of Half-Life 2 to a better level of graphics isn’t impressive enough. Some gamers suggest the Cinematic Mod for the game is better. There’s a debate though. Half-Life 2 isn’t just about visuals; it’s about the mood and atmosphere. I think this mod does a good job at […]
Sponsored Video: The war on crime becomes the Battlefield
The Battlefield series until now has been a military action game. That changes with Visceral and DICE’s latest and cooperative effort: Battlefield Hardline.

Fancy a look at what Fatshark and Games Workshop are putting together? Warhammer: End Times Vermintide is a first person shooter-meets-melee combat game.

Black Shell Games have put an ASCII-based RPG on Steam. If you don’t know what this is then you’re lucky; you’re young. This is an old skool computer RPG made up of text driven choices and illustrations composed of characters and symbols. The genre was born when traditional tabletop gamers started to take their hobby […]
Sunless Sea looks scary and very different
Failbetter Games has produced interactive books like Fallen London for the Storynexus platform. Their latest game is on Steam and GOG. The video gives the impression of Call of Cthulhu meets boat simulation. There’s more to it than that. There’s some 200,000+ words in this game – it’s another take on modern storytelling. I’m tempted […]
2K teases Sid Meier’s Starships
The trailer for Sid Meier’s Starships sets the scene. We’re a space level civilization which has just set off to, perhaps, rescue another. The game is officially described as a turn-based, adventure-driven strategy game. Developed by Firaxis Games, the PC and iOS versions are both due in Spring 2015. You can find out more over […]
