A “man cave” is, in essence, a place where someone can go and escape from the world. It’s a room filled with all kinds of entertainment technology. It doesn’t matter whether it’s your dream to convert a bedroom into a man cave, or a spare room – either way, you’ll be impressed with the results. Some guys even have a bar where they can serve drinks for both themselves and their buddies! In a busy household, it’s important for people to have their own little bubble in the world. For a grown-up adult male, that place has to be, without a…

Happy Wheels took the internet by storm back in 2010-2011 with its realistic ragdoll physics amalgamated with hilarious animations. The game was later released on OS for Apple users to download and play for free. With over five million users, it has certainly garnered a vast fan base over time. At first, the game seems like any other racing game but it gets interesting (and dark) in an accelerated time frame. You would start off as a businessman on a Segway trying to get to the other end of the game map as soon as you can by circumventing various…

When we switch on our PCs or gaming devices, it’s hard to imagine that it’s a billion dollar industry. $18.4 billion in 2017 alone, to be exact. With graphics, sound, and storylines all equally important to serious gamers, it takes a small army of people to put a game together. Although one person can wear many hats when it comes to game designing and developing, it requires various departments to see it through to the end. The One-Man Show It’s hard to believe that some of the most iconic games of our time were the brainchild of mere individuals. Games such as…

Fishing games are certainly an unusual genre. Someone who isn’t acquainted with video games at all, or even someone who simply doesn’t tend to like fishing games, would look at them and simply think they were very, very boring. This would be missing the point entirely, however. If you want adrenalized, explosion-heavy action in your games, there are an untold number of options out there for you. Fishing games represent something different. Their often sedate pace can relax you, and sometimes provide an almost meditative experience. The lengthy buildup, courtesy of that slow pace, can result in enormously satisfying payoffs…

The tycoon genre is one of the longest-running and most storied in video games. This is particularly true of those concerned with transport, games like Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon and Chris Sawyer’s legendary Transport Tycoon having served as entry points into gaming for many people. Fortunately for us modern-day gamers, this genre is still going. The latest major release, which aims to follow in the footsteps of these former giants, is Railway Empire. Railway Empire focuses entirely on railroads, aiming to recreate the golden age of trains in the USA which began in the early nineteenth century. It takes great…

Grand Theft Auto is one of the most popular and iconic video games franchises in the history of gaming. In 2013, Grand Theft Auto V broke records by becoming the second most expensive video game ever developed as well the fastest selling entertainment product. Years after its release (not unlike its predecessors), the game is still massively popular amongst gamers. One thing people have wondered for a time is whether or not the game has a money cheat. Grand Theft Auto is known for having a wide variety of cheat codes for different things in different games. Some of the…

Workstations have made some amazing progress over the most recent couple of years, and great gaming PCs, which once seemed like an interesting expression, are presently more broadly accessible. In any case, it’s still hard to locate a reasonable gaming PC or even a shabby one; the levels of popularity on execution frequently struggle with the necessities of conveyability, and it implies work areas still may offer the best esteem. All things considered, top gaming workstations can be had in a scope of costs, from in any event $600, to effortlessly $2,000. Knowing the most vital highlights for an executioner…

Tycoon games are one of the oldest genres in gaming. If you’re anything like us (and are of a certain age or older), some of your earliest and fondest memories of gaming will have come from tycoon games; they were very much a gateway into gaming, throughout the 90s and early 2000s. We led amusement parks to utter disaster in Theme Park World and RollerCoaster Tycoon. Scores of poor patients died on our watch in Theme Hospital. Hordes of innocent creatures were neglected in Zoo Tycoon. But you know what… we had fun trying (and failing) to run these complex…

There’s absolutely no doubting that the Xbox One is a great console. The power of its hardware is unmatched, and it’s packed with as many features as you could possibly wish for. It is also, however, getting demolished by its competitors in terms of sales. Despite being released at roughly the same time as the PS4, it has sold less than half the number of units. The Nintendo Switch has been out for less than a year, at the time of writing, but has already sold half as many units as the Xbox One in a fraction of the time.…

Metroid Prime is one of my old favorites, a game that I cherish from my childhood. On playing it again, I find it just as good as I recall, one of those few games that holds up to the same feelings the player has when they first get the game. It hasn’t, at least in my opinion, aged at all. What I’m talking about today is one of the best examples of this; the very beginning. The game starts very minimally at first- with a simple text description about a distress beacon being tracked to a “derelict space vessel in…

As an article in the Guardian rightly states, the Football Manager video game has become something of a national obsession. First appearing on the PC under the guise of Championship Manager in 1992, the game is now so popular that you’ll find many dedicated forums where fans share tips for playing Football Manager 18 and discuss tactics and bargain youth players at length. Despite this, Football Manager remains an enigma to many outside observers and the bane of many wives’ and girlfriends’ lives. So just what is so special about the Football Manager series? Authenticity Before Championship Manager, football management…

Seems that Dragon Ball FighterZ producers want to give us even more content than they promised at the very beginning. While Dragon Ball FighterZ release is planned on 26 January 2018, Dragon Ball Super (a new anime series) gains constantly increasing popularity. Thus, Arc System Works decided to use it to their own advantage showing us three new characters. Dragon Ball FighterZ bigger roster equals more fun When first information about Dragon Ball FighterZ started to leak to the Internet it was mentioned, that roster is going to consists of about 20 characters. However, Arc System Works is using all…

Every Blizzard game has become an instant success since its release. Dota begun as a customized map for the Warcraft strategy game and started becoming more and more popular.

Today, Dota 2 players have different opportunities for earning real money while playing their favorite game.

Seriously, this headline must be eye-candy to any die-hard Command and Conquer veteran, or any RTS fan, for that matter. Those who enjoy RTS titles are sure to have spent many hours delving into the gameplay of this very franchise. Back in the times when Westwood Studios were the masterminds behind the series, fans were happy and eager to experience the growing catalogue of games. However, EA’s purchase of Westwood Studios has proven to be a lacklustre affair since the buy-out in 1998. EA didn’t quite hit it off with Red Alert 3. Far from terrible, the title didn’t reach…

As Season 7 finishes and Season 8 begins in only a matter of weeks, players are already looking to the new changes coming to LoL. So far there have been several pre-season patches which have brought significant changes already. However, with Season 8 not starting until as late as January, there are still plenty of new changes to come.  To see how League of Legends will be changing over the upcoming season, we’re taking a look at all the major updates and changes coming to the Rift. From the small changes to the big changes, League of Legends is having…

Persona 5 is great, and frankly, that’s undeniable. Since its worldwide release in early 2017, critics and casual gamers alike have fallen in love with the next of an already acclaimed franchise. Being a serious game of the year contender for many people in a year that a new Zelda game was released is dumbfounding. Friends of mine who never play JRPG’s enjoyed navigating the fantastically orchestrated and meticulously crafted turn-based fighting. Those that argue they don’t have the time to play the 50-hour story of Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt found themselves partaking in the 80-hour role-playing, social simulating…

With L.A. Noire being rereleased on the PS4, it is time to take another look at the detective game that Rockstar Games created. L.A. Noire was originally released in 2011 and takes place in 1947 Los Angeles. Rockstar boasts that 90% of all buildings in L.A. Noire have been recreated from photographs and through visits to the historic Los Angeles. This means that you could navigate the world of L.A. Noire through landmarks alone if you were familiar enough with the history of the City of Angels.

Many online battle games are one-dimensional, pitting one class of players against another, with nothing but one weapon with which to fight. If the action is exciting enough, the game will earn a loyal audience. But, the simplest titles tend to be fads, burning out and disappearing as quickly as they came. Other games are far too complicated, with contrived leveling systems and multiple expansion branches (we’re talking about you, Diep.io). The best games lie in between, featuring an essential blend of simplicity and complexity. That’s the “sweet spot” of online entertainment—games that are easy to join and simple enough…

While I have heard that video games based on movies often have difficulties, or aren’t made well, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was certainly an exception. It is sort of a combination beat ‘em up and fighting game- the vast majority of the game is fighting droids and clone troopers as Anakin and Obi-Wan, but the bosses are able to face the heroes on equal footing, and help increase the roster for the versus mode, both of which I found quite fun. Obviously the normal enemies won’t stand much of a chance against our characters, and the controls certainly…

The Cities: Skylines game has always been environmentally promoted, but they’ve taken it to a whole new level with their newest expansion pack. Green Cities takes the ordinary Skylines game and makes it all about cleaning up polluted cities. Like you’ve come to expect from the Skylines expansion packs, the expansion doesn’t offer massive amounts of new content. What it does offer is new buildings you can create, new policies you can put into place to better manage your cities, and so much more. It even comes with a free update that includes things like electric cars and more options…

To some, each annual iteration of FIFA is met with a shrug, or a roll of the eyes. To the armies of ardent FIFA fans out there, however – ourselves included – the seemingly incremental changes which are introduced each year are more than enough to get genuinely excited about. On top of that, FIFA has made some more major changes in its past couple of editions, with the evolution of its career mode being the most eye-catching example. FIFA 17 saw the introduction of a fully-fledged story mode – The Journey – which was an immediate hit. FIFA 18…

Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise has experienced some ups and downs during the last decade. Between modern-day metaplot, lack of significant changes to the gameplay and annual releases, it seemed like the series got itself into a dead end. It is a good thing, then, that it took a gap year, because the upcoming Assassins’ Creed: Origins is looking like what our nostalgia thinks Assassin’s Creed used to be back in the days of Ezio. Let’s take a look at what awaits us in when AC:O launches later this year. Before the Templars and Assassins In a surprising twist, instead of…

FIFA 18 is finally upon us. The latest installment in the FIFA series has been out for almost a month now and is has already taken many hours from the lives of FIFA fans.

The Ultimate Team game mode has meant that FIFA and EA Sports, the games developers, have been able to step into the world of esports. Esports aka competitive gaming, has become a global phenomenon over the past several years. With…

There are very few series which can be described as gaming royalty, which inarguably changed the landscape of video games for everybody. The Halo series undoubtedly falls into that category. Part of that comes down to simple longevity. The first game in the series came out all the way back in 2001, and the most recent was released in 2017; sixteen years of smash hits is pretty impressive, however you look at it! Large parts of their success also come from their creativity and the quality of their execution, both of which we’ll look at in more detail later in…
