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 […]
The Gareth Bale Appreciation Society takes a look at FIFA 14‘s balls
It’s got an appropriate name, I’ll give it that. It’s definitely aliens that you’re firing at, so that’s half of the title taken care of, and I certainly felt rage while playing it. As a name, then, Alien Rage is fitting. Alien Smash Your Keyboard Into Tiny Bits Out Of Sheer Synapse-Burning Frustration would be […]
I have a new Xbox 360 controller. My old wired controller served me well – ever since I first bought a 360, in fact, which means probably about six or seven years – but it was getting a bit… broken. The analogue sticks had been worn down to nubs. The A button stuck almost every […]
Meet Kari Noble. She’s an athletic, friendly, punky type who loves water so much she would probably marry it if there were any chance that at least one religion wouldn’t deem it a mortal sin. She moved to Isla Paradiso on the basis that a tropical archipelago was probably going to be more fun and […]
It’s been a long and bumpy road for Borderlands 2 DLC. Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty was a bit bland. Mr Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage was pretty damn good, but with some atrocious boss fights and a number of rather rubbish quests. Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt was tedious, and featured horrible new enemies. […]
Outside of cut-scenes, nobody ever rides a horse in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. For a game that otherwise seems so intent on hitting every key ‘Western’ theme (bank heist, train robbery, Native Americans, gold mines, six-shooters,) this is a pretty odd omission. The horses are there, usually standing around in stables or in need of […]
I like Ace Combat: Assault Horizon – Enhanced Edition, I really do (and no, I’m never calling it that again). The problem is I suspect I’m going to damn it with faint praise and then complain about a lot of things while constantly adding “but it’s fun anyway” so I want to get this out […]
