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 […]
Forget all the local derbies, ‘clasicos’ and rivalries for a second. In its last few installments, Words vs Numbers has been Football Manager’s most fascinating match. It’s a dichotomy born of the game’s near-impossible need to provide an objective, statistical framework to recreate a world of chance, psychology and human error. The degree to which […]
We get inundated with PC review code here at IncGamers, and the sad fact is that we can’t look at all of it. If our writing staff were to be described by a dubious estate agent, they would probably toss around terms like “boutique” and “compact.” In other words, small. That means no matter how […]
I don’t know whether to call it the Curse of Ubisoft (because – while catchy – that name implies it’s a bad thing), but Rocksmith 2014 is the latest game to feature whatever I decide to name it. This is Ubisoft’s habit of releasing a game with a whole lot of potential, and then releasing […]
