We always knew Eidos Montreal’s revival of Thief was headed to whatever next-gen consoles Sony and Microsoft would be bringing. Now that Xbox One is out of the bag the [...]

Ah, the love life. Most gamers are lucky in this department while some of us struggle. I blame being a gaming snob on my lack of luck. (I have to [...]

The Xbox Reveal is now well in the past. We know what Microsoft had hidden under its covers and we’ve seen what it can do. But now that all is [...]

I love binary. Not just because it is the language of a PC but because it can be represented as exponentials of the number 2. This week we record episode [...]

Wasn’t that a little sigh of relief during the reveal last night? Not a single word about the Xbox One always having to be online, that’s at least one thing [...]

Oh Microsoft, you nearly had me. I was ecstatic after the Xbox One reveal last night, a reveal that started receiving a lot of negative feedback very quickly after it [...]

If you’ve been around the internet lately, or happened to watch the live stream of Microsoft’s newly announced Xbox One, you’d know of the massively polarized reaction to it. Microsoft [...]

What’s a reveal event without a little controversy. Although nothing was mentioned regarding used games during the Xbox One reveal itself, rumours and somewhat of a confirmation by Microsoft after [...]

Probably one of the most exciting features announced during the Xbox One reveal this evening was made right at the beginning. While breaking down the Xbox One in terms of [...]

In 2012, Electronic Arts purchased the licence for the UFC from THQ. Since then, we have not seen or heard anything about the franchise. Nothing has happened. A year later, [...]

Welcome to my playthrough of Ildefonse! This is a free indie horror game developed by a4ndr3c that has you explore an ancient house in order to find a will. The [...]

Thus far we’ve only seen Sam Fisher acting solo in Blacklist but here’s a little look into the game’s co-op with Sam’s CIA buddy Isaac Briggs. The mode gives players [...]

We haven’t seen much of Killzone Mercenary but Guerilla has assured us that anything we see will be the real deal. So here are some new screenshots for the game [...]

Games are not supposed to be realistic as we all know. Sure, some games strive to have a more “realistic” setting and mechanics, but in the end it always comes [...]

If you don’t know who Kevin Conroy is, then you must not be that exposed to Batman content. Conroy has been the voice actor for Batman in video games and [...]

I have to be honest and say that it’s not often I feel I was a little off in my verdict of a game. Most of the reviews I’ve done [...]

Tension. It is one of those feelings some gamers adore. We transfer ourselves into these worlds that gaming provides us and we WANT to be hunted. We want to be [...]

We’ll probably know by the end of the day, whether or not this shall actually be a thing, but on the brink of the Xbox Reveal which takes place later [...]

I’ve never been the biggest Star Trek fan, or Trekkie as they’re often called, but I’ve always had a certain liking for the franchise, and I especially loved the 2009 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Ah, the love life. Most gamers are lucky in this department while some of us struggle. I blame being a gaming snob on my lack of luck. (I have to [...]

Another day is almost done and my activities of the past hours since waking up form a blur of gaming news, gaming media, Game of Thrones and gaming lust… you [...]

Last week we shared the news with you of Electronic Arts finally doing away with its silly online pass system. This came on something of a rollercoaster day of good [...]

The heading of this article might be redundant to some, but I’m pretty stoked about the appearance of these little jests put into our present games. (Or rather the general [...]

As Microsoft finalises its new-Xbox launch, for Tuesday evening, one can only wonder what the software giant has in store. A couple of months ago we saw the PlayStation 4 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]
