If you aren’t already aware, or perhaps unable to tell by the screenshots alone, Q.U.B.E has a lot in common with Valve’s much celebrated Portal. This too is a first-person puzzler which sees a mute protagonist journeying from one white walled testing arena to the next, harnessing the power of a far-flung technology. In this …
For what looks at first glance like a simple word game with cute bears, Alphabear is surprisingly complex. They had me at cute bears though, especially as they’re reminiscent of the chaps from Triple Town – which is because the game is from the same chaps, Spry Fox. And it’s a free download, so what’s …
The summer drought appears to have hit the retail sector – no physical releases are due out this week, just Nordic Games’ Legend of Kay Anniversary next week, and if Amazon’s release schedule is accurate (which it usually is) the next major release isn’t until 7th August – the anticipated Rare Replay. A barrage of …
SEGA is on something of an unexpected roll at the moment – digital release Tembo the Badass Elephant launches on the download services tomorrow and has arrived to decent reviews while legendary brawler Streets of Rage 2 hits 3DS on Thursday. Unless SEGA has somehow managed to mess this 3D revamp up (which is unlikely …
Another week, another new number one. This time it’s EA turn with Rory McIlroy PGA Tour. It’s their first golf game to head straight to the top of the chart since 2008’s Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09. Chart-Track reports that sales figures between the two aren’t dissimilar. F1 2015 – last week’s chart topper – …
Just like fellow PlayStation exclusive Hohokum, Entwined pushes the definition of the word ‘game’ somewhat – a form of competitive activity or sport played according to rules. The only penalty for failure in Entwined is that it takes longer to reach the level’s end. Try, try again and eventually you’ll get there. It’s a testament …
Surprise! Not one but two unexpected arrivals have turned up this week. Tuesday saw the rumoured but never officially confirmed Prototype Biohazard Bundle head to Xbox One while Rockstar’s shoddy Xbox 360 conversion of GTA: San Andreas arrives at retail as a ‘Xbox Classics’ release. The Prototype Biohazard Bundle appears to have been given the …
Even racers from as far back as the 32-bit era were known to feature car/soccer hybrid mini-games tucked away somewhere on the game disc. We’re pretty sure that one of the Psygnosis PSone racers had one, and we’re even more confident in saying that Monster Truck Madness and Test Drive: Eve of Destruction did as …
Gamers across the globe woke to saddening news this morning – Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has died at the age of 55 after losing a battle with cancer. A former programmer at HAL Laboratories, Iwata was appointed director of Nintendo in 2000 and became President two years later. He was the first person outside the …
Codemasters’ F1 2015 is the UK’s new number one, dislodging Batman: Arkham Knight from the top spot. The only thing more desirable to drive than the Batmobile is a Formula One car, it would seem. Launch sales were up 367% over the last-gen only F1 2014. It’s also the first in the series to become …
Reviews of F1 2015 are slowly starting to surface online. Critics are pretty much in agreement that the lack of content is disappointing but the foundations are sturdy enough. Two seasons for the price of one is a nice bonus too. GamesRadar however were so disgruntled by the amount of obvious omissions that their review …
F1 2015 isn’t just the first iteration of the motorsport to appear on current-gen consoles – it’s Codemasters’ first current-gen game period. They simply didn’t want to rush a product out, resulting in something that felt like a last-gen game but with slightly shinier exterior. It’s somewhat frustrating to read, then, that Codemasters are already …
EMAP’s Official SEGA Saturn Magazine ceased publication in November 1998, with the last few issues featuring the likes of Godzilla Generations, Sonic Adventure, and other early Dreamcast titles on the cover. It spelled the end of SEGA’s relationship with EMAP – who also held the official Nintendo license at the time – and with SEGA …
After knocking around on other systems for many months, Never Alone and Funk of Titans finally arrive on Wii U this Thursday. Never Alone we’re pleased to see. Funk of Titans? Not so much. Those who missed Never Alone (£12.99) on PS4 and Xbox One are in for a short but sweet treat. This snow …
Last week’s UK chart was rife with activity – there were five new entries in the top 20 alone. This week? Not a single new arrival and the top three remains unchanged. This means Batman: Arkham Knight takes the top spot for a second week running, and is followed by LEGO Jurassic World and The …
