How can I best sum this week up? All the series finales, the new Xbox may have a name, online passes die, our podcast officially goes weekly and some other [...]

I’d like to dedicate this week in comments to nobody in particular. Live long and prosper. Actually I’d like to dedicate it to whoever doesn’t win a title because that [...]

I very nearly mentioned how I rarely ever log onto Facebook anymore or interact with people on it. That would’ve been a bad idea, right? I’m so glad I didn’t. [...]

Rainbow 6: Patriots has been gone for a long, long time, which is never a good sign for upcoming title. Many believed that Ubisoft were simply waiting for next-gen console [...]

Members of LulzSec, the organisation that claimed to have hacked Sony, Nintendo, Electronic Arts, the CIA and FBI, have been arrested and sentenced in the United Kingdom. The four members [...]

Welcome to my playthrough of Luminesca. This is an indie underwater exploration game, currently in development by CrowbarSka and Matt Glanville. The game is in alpha, and the developer is [...]

A new trailer for the upcoming MMO, The Elder Scrolls online, has been released, showing off gathering and exploration. You know, if you’re into that sort of thing and all [...]

DriveClub is Sony’s very good looking driving simulator for the PS4. We don’t much about it but here are some screenshots of it. If the game looks this good and [...]

One of the more interesting features announced for the PS4 is the fact that you can start playing a game while it downloads. Pretty cool, right? Although if your connection [...]

Welcome to another edition of This Week In Indie, there’s not much in the way of news this week largely due to a shortage of actual newsworthy topics. However, this [...]

Nintendo, today you have lost my respect. To all gamers, the corporates just love you and care about you so much hey? Let’s defend them more. I hope you realised the above [...]

I spent a few hours earlier this week, between reading academic articles and Moby Dick, playing a browser-based game with a concept that caught my eye. As I often do [...]

Surprise, surprise… If you ask the ESA about game piracy, it will claim that there are some ten million illegal downloads of over two hundred games per month. However a [...]

All we have to do is mention “Grand Theft Auto V” and I’m sure many will instantly begin foaming at the mouth. To those that do, I hope you have [...]

Sony might want to steal some of Microsoft’s thunder come the 21st of May. Sony Japan has revealed a new IP, Panopticon, via a rather lengthy teaser trailer. The official [...]

I’ve joked many times about what a failure the Wii U has been, and how I feel for anyone who bought the console that was clearly a weak attempt by [...]

Here’s a teaser for the first trailer of Batman: Arkham Origins. In case you just got back to Earth here’s the deal. The game follows Batman early on in his [...]

Recorded: 14 May 2013 Now a weekly occurrence! Welcome to episode thirty one of the eGamer Podcast, certifiably the only podcast in the known universe which has Dean in it. [...]

Welcome to my playthrough of SCP 087-B, a free indie horror game found on the SCP Game website. This complements other such SCP titles such as SCP Containment Breach. It’s [...]

A new trailer for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has been released, called “Under The Black Flag”, and it shows you what is under the black flag indeed. I really [...]

I love Soviet Russia jokes and I actually have no idea why but when you think about it, Soviet Russia during the Cold War was a pretty shitty place. Living [...]

There are two things in that title which I really like – Just Cause 2 and the Steampunk design aesthetic. Possibly also the letter A. I loved the crazy over the [...]

Games have tough lifetimes if you really think about it. First, they have to be meticulously crafted by people using bits of code and some colours. Then they have to be printed [...]

Of gamers in the world, there are many different types. Some play games casually; some play games more than anything else that they do, including sleep; some call themselves hardcore [...]

> You are in a large room. Drawers line three of the four walls, extending up the ceiling. The door on the last wall is covered with a dark brown [...]

Most gamers that I know despise online passes. Some more than most. EA has been using them for a long time as a scheme to make money off used sales, [...]

The official announcement for Gran Turismo 6 dropped in late yesterday, practically at early evening. The game will be out this holiday on PlayStation 3. That makes me wonder. Where’s [...]

Is it just me, or has no one noticed how weird the name “Gran Turismo” is up until now? Like think about it; do you actually know what it means? [...]

The middle of the year is always the worst time for most gamers. Well, gamers who live on new releases at least. Most new and exciting titles are released in [...]

The rumours were true (then again, when aren’t they recently?). Gran Turismo 6 has been officially unveiled and is currently in development for the PlayStation 3. The prestigious racing title [...]

Dead Island: Riptide is Techland’s sequel to their 2011 title Dead Island, which was actually a pretty decent but technically faulted game. In fact many would have called the original [...]

There are only so many military shooters you can stomach before something like Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon happens. In this rather lengthy and extremely enjoyable DLC, Ubisoft has accomplished [...]

My recently mended PS3 took strain, the five year old but still quite functional Sixaxis controller in my hands creaked with each furious barrage of button mashing, the plastic casing [...]

The Behemoth is a game company that many gamers love. At first they brought us Alien Hominid, a side-scrolling shooting game that was immensely hard, but was loved by many. Then [...]

The Army of Two franchise’s strength lies in its name. It’s a game designed for two players and synchronized teamwork. Previous iterations had you fill the shoes of either Rios or Salem. [...]

Heart of the Swarm is the first expansion to be released for Blizzard’s StarCraft II, unless you’re one of those people who considers Wings of Liberty itself an expansion – [...]

God of War: Ascension is the seventh entry in the franchise, and a prequel to the entire series. I’ll be honest here. I’m a huge fan of God of War, and [...]

BioShock Infinite is a unique game. Not for the reasons you may think and presume. But for the simplicity in which it takes the medium of the videogame far beyond [...]

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, from developer Terminal Reality and publisher Activision, is a first person survival game set as a prequel to AMC’s massively popular and fantastic TV series, The [...]

We enter yet another crazy Naruto game with cel-shaded graphics at work to recreate the feeling of a game that appears to be hand drawn, with over the top characters, [...]

One of my favourite remarks regarding the Gears of War series is that playing the games is like riding a bike, in that you can not play the games for [...]

Over the years, Dead Space has ignited more than just a few conversations across the gaming landscape. Whether it is positive or negative, there was no denying of the fact [...]

Lara Croft and her dual pistols (not a sexual reference) have been a gaming icon since her debut close to two decades ago. More of her modern outings have been [...]

Cutting stuff is fun. Cutting stuff into many tiny pieces is even more fun. But can you really base a game around that idea alone? Metal Gear Rising certainly tries [...]

I don’t hide the fact that the original Crysis is one of my favourite games. I’ve practically gone back to play it on an annual basis, and even today I [...]

With Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch, Level-5 have gone in the complete opposite direction to the current trend of JRPGs. Thankfully so, because with Ni No Kuni [...]

Deadpool isn’t the type of hero you’d think could star in his own video game. In fact, Deadpool isn’t exactly the hero you’d expect to star anywhere. Why? Well Deadpool [...]

GRID 2, the follow on from 2008′s Race Driver: Grid, is scheduled to release on the 31st of May. Developed by Codemasters Racing, the game is an arcade racer which [...]

When someone mentions that their dog had been digging five separate holes in their garden after having deliberately tried to find a lost treasure that will be destined to ruin [...]

Fuse is game about 4 unique characters that have their own unique powers that they can do unique things with. The word unique has been thrown around quite a bit, [...]

Remember Me is the first big release from Dontnod Entertainment and is an Action Adventure title with elements of stealth and platforming. The game boasts a unique fighting and combat [...]

As I sit here at my PC I look out the window and see a grey sky, rain scattering across the glass and wind bending the trees. To me this [...]

There are three reasons why this preview is completely superfluous given our coverage of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen so far, and will therefore go completely unread. The first reason is [...]

In 2011 NetherRealms showed us that there was still something worthwhile in the Mortal Kombat series after a long spell of hit-and-miss titles. It took the franchise back to its roots and [...]

The Walking Dead for me is one of the best shows currently on television right now alongside Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. Its meticulously and brilliantly crafted narrative, strong [...]

Considering I got the chance to play through a rather significant amount of BioShock Infinite, you should be warned that there are potential spoilers below, especially if you want to [...]

Judgment. Or as we say in the proper parts of the world, Judgement. It’s quite ironic that since its announcement, I have been judging the upcoming Gears of War prequel. [...]

Boom! Headshot. I am the the ultimate predator. That is the fantasy of sniping, at least to me. I get the Agent 47 and the Sam Fischer stuff as well. [...]

BioShock ascends from the murky depths of the dark-blue ocean to a complete opposite end of the spectrum. Ladies and gentlemen, let’s all have a big Vigor-infused round of applause [...]

If you had to ask me a year ago whether I’d be interested in playing a Tomb Raider game I’d have probably said no. The series was just so dead [...]

Set twenty-four years after the events of Crysis 2, Prophet returns on a revenge mission to New York City and finds it encased in a huge Nanodome, engineered by the [...]

While January was somewhat of a drag in terms of new releases, February is shaping up to once again make us question what is more important; food or games? One [...]

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky. I don’t remember the last time I walked into a gaming retailer, looked at a pretty box, and thought, [...]

In between all the debates regarding politics, economics and pretty much all the things I’m not quite fond of, I’ve wondered about games and their difficulty settings. I do like [...]

There are few things in the gaming industry that anger me more than bad publisher practices, especially when they hurt us as consumers and damage the industry. I suppose what [...]

I’ve never been one for nostalgia because I didn’t grow up with the games that are now considered nostalgic. If the majority of gamers think nostalgia they think Mario, Zelda, [...]

Not many people have played Batman: Arkham City as much as I have. Now that’s not some declaration of my totally actual gamer superiority or anything, but rather, I need [...]

The amounts of YouTube videos out there are staggering. I’m sure that’s like saying that grass is green and books are filled with words. (Although, come to think of it, [...]
