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 […]
Of all the action-RPGs I played in 2012, Drox Operative was by far the most interesting. Since those twelve months also saw the much-hyped Diablo 3 and underdog favourite Torchlight 2 cross my hard-drive, that’s not bad going. Especially for a game that lists just seven people in its credits. As it turns out, Steven […]
Seduce Me is an erotic game. Let’s get that out of the way, for three reasons. Firstly: if you’re a kiddywink or find erotica morally or ethically objectionable, stop reading now. Secondly: I don’t have any real objection to erotica. Most “adult” games available in the west are shit at best, and at their worst […]
My sins must be heard: I have not finished Dark Souls. The task was simply too great. It’s my first time playing the game crowned by fellow IncGamers staff as the best of 2011, and the review code only unlocked late on Thursday. I’m writing this on Sunday. Even if I’d debased myself by perusing […]
Developer: Eat Sleep Play Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Platform: PS3 Reviewed by: Brendan Kelly Twisted Metal Review I never understood clowns. Had I ever felt the need to observe a red-cheeked, goonish creature making honking noises and falling over, I’d spend more time at my grandparents’ house (whoa, ok, it was a joke, my grandparents […]
For years, now, I’ve been operating under the impression that Zuma is the result of a fever dream. Bear with me: “So, when I was sick, I had this dream. There was this frog, okay? And he was on this tile, and he couldn’t move, and there was this row of multi-coloured beads that were […]
Review: Trader of Stories: Bell’s Heart and Grain of Truth by Toddziak Indie games are just everywhere these days. You can easily grab some brand-new titles on Steam, GOG or directly from the page of a developer of your liking. What’s even better, some of indie gems are totally free to download or play in […]
The Train Giant (otherwise known as A-Train 9) is … wait a second, A-Train NINE? I can remember playing the original A-Train on the Amiga, but until I was given this game to review I had no idea it had run to so many editions. In fact I’ve since learned that ‘original’ A-Train was actually […]
