Recently I have become rather obsessed with the idea of self improvement. I’ve started running. I’ve started eating breakfast. I’ve stopped being a vegetarian. I also got myself into thinking that games could help me achieve my dreams of being a better person. Since Brain Training sold approximately 67 billion copies, self improvement games have …
The fact that the greatest Xbox Indie games are buried under tat like Baby Maker Extreme and Dont B Nervous Talking 2 Girls [sic] makes their discovery seem all that more special. Some damning praise for the way Microsoft manages the service, there. Perhaps we should be glad that Microsoft has never really shown any …
Released on PlayStation 2 back in 2005, SEGA Classics Collection is a small part of gaming history. Not so much in terms of the collection’s content, but rather a display of Sony’s seldom seen authority. Over in Japan the games in the eight-strong compilation were released individually as part of the SEGA Ages 2500 series. …
Usually our annual lookback at the worst console games of the year is in conjunction with Metacritic. As in, we use the site as a source. But with Metacritic’s worst rated games of the year mostly consisting of PC and iOS games we’ve never even heard of, it doesn’t seem particularly right to go chopping …
Over the past few months alone we’ve seen the release of two new consoles, revamps of both the PS Vita and 3DS, plus some much needed big-name titles for the Wii U. That’s before we’ve even taken into account the release of GTA V, a game proclaimed to be not just the best game of …
Kristian Fosh aims to continue the current point ‘n’ click adventure revival with Jason The Greek: The Ladies of Lemnos, a colourful and light-hearted caper inspired by Monkey Island, Discworld and other adventure games of yore. There’s also an influence behind it that you may not expect – Star Trek. Kristian is no stranger to …
With next-gen consoles about to be released to the masses, now seems to be the perfect time to talk about one of my favourite games of the current generation: Deadly Premonition. I came to Deadly Premonition the same way most people did, after being directed to YouTube videos of it’s craziest scenes. Expectations were of …
We’re all guilty of something, but rather than fill these hallowed pages with our sinful confessions we’re instead going to share our top five gaming guilty pleasures. All of the games below faced a harsh critical reception upon release, but despite their faults they aren’t entirely without merit…no matter how dubious those merits actually are. …
With game budgets forever rising and big name franchises more important than ever, the days of versatile development studios are slowly coming to an end.

One of the more unusual stories to break after the Xbox One reveal was that Microsoft has patented the ability to unlock achievements by watching TV. One obvious use is as an incentive to tune into certain shows and films. It’s not an idea that’s massively new – there have been movie trailers on Xbox …
We could start this article by sharing our views on the morality of luring children into fast food resultants via free toys, but then we remembered our tagline: “finding the fun”. That subject would be precisely no fun at all to discuss. One, believe it or not, allowed you to mould a moustache out of …
The 3DS was released in Europe two years ago today. If it were a child it would be entering the notorious ‘terrible twos’, sporadically having tantrums in public and throwing bits of mashed up banana at passers by.
