The concluding part of BioShock Infinite’s Burial at Sea DLC is more than just a finale for this title. 2K’s decision to close Irrational Games means it’s also the studio’s swan song. And while many will rightly remember Irrational for 1999’s outstanding System Shock 2, BioShock is the series name that will remain on the […]
One simple question: do you want to play through a really lengthy episode of South Park? Yes? Then you’ll really, really like South Park: The Stick of Truth. Bear that in mind, because that really is the crux of whether or not you’ll enjoy this game. If you hate South Park, you should stay well […]
The Thief name is no longer a Garrett-ee of quality.
Back in the 90s, shooters were all the rage. They were fast and furious, with none of the slower, sneaky, stealthy, cover-based gameplay of today’s modern shooters. The days of Quake and Unreal Tournament were glorious times – but sadly, there have been very few fast-paced shooters of any real quality recently. But one developer […]
It’s fair to say I have a history with rhythm-action games. I rapped COOL with Parappa the Rapper, ruined my legs with Dance Dance Revolution, and played legendary songs with Gitaroo Man. I rocked out with the Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Rocksmith series. I tapped away with indie titles from Stepmania and Audiosurf through […]
Freedom Cry is the first (and perhaps only, if the Season Pass description is anything to go by) bit of single player DLC for the well-received Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. It’s a chance to play as Adéwalé, quartermaster on Kenway’s Jackdaw in the main game, and for the title to tell a tale in […]
Total War: Rome 2 was a major disappointment when it was released in what appeared to be a semi-completed state back in September 2013. There’s a reason it made it on to the IncGamers ‘Worst PC Launches of 2013’ list. Several reasons, actually. Serious performance issues, bugs, and baffling design decisions among them. It’s now […]
It took a fair while for State of Decay to make it over to the PC, but the slight benefit of this delay is that players haven’t had to wait especially long for Breakdown’s addition of a proper sandbox mode. The open world survival-fest has only been in Steam’s ‘official release’ catalogue since early November. […]
Deadfall Adventures bills itself as an homage to the pulp action-adventure stories found in the magazines of the 1920s to 1950s. ‘Pulp’ is often used as a pejorative term, but the publications spanned multiple genres and produced their fair share of definitive characters. The detective branch gave us Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe, while Indiana Jones […]
Let’s do a quick word association thing. I’m going to type out a few words, and we’ll see how you respond. Okay? Right, here we go: Mangekyou Sharingan. Konohagakure. Rasengan. Akatsuki. Ino-Shika-Cho. Edo Tensei. Kyuubi. If you know what all of those are, congratulations! Carry on reading. If you thought I was having some sort […]
