It’s not hard to remember a time when Call of Duty was king of the video game world. Each successive instalment after 2007’s groundbreaking Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was received rapturously by both critics and audiences alike, and the game’s ubiquitous multiplayer mode was an unimpeachable titan, the go-to method of entertainment for couch

Sometimes there’s just no beating the classics. New games may shock and astound us with increasingly fancy graphics and features, but there’s a simple pleasure in revisiting the games of yesteryear, in going back to a simpler time before online multiplayer and loot box controversies. Of course, the optimal way to do this is to

When Red Dead Redemption was released way back in 2010, it was an instant classic. Transposing the free-form open-world formula pioneered by the 3D Grand Theft Auto games to a Wild West setting proved to be inspired, as did replacing that series’ traditional madcap crime capering with a surprisingly sombre and heartfelt tale of, well,

Did you know it’s been 9 years since the advent of Codemasters’ F1 series? That’s right – this series has been chugging along since way back in 2009, when British company Sumo Digital created F1 2009 for the Wii and PSP, of all platforms. Fastforward to 2018, and the F1 series has gone from strength

After a sacrilegious hiatus of thirteen years, the TimeSplitters franchise could be set to make a long-awaited and warm-welcomed return. Koch Media, a THQ Nordic-owned company, announced they had acquired the rights to the infamous arcade shooter franchise just a few days ago. The TimeSplitters franchise, originally created by Free Radical Design (later known as

Consider, if you will, a perfectly constructed piece of furniture. Ornate and exquisitely carved, with minute designs etched into high-quality wood, this chair, this wardrobe, this bed hasn’t been created to break new ground, but to serve a specific purpose extremely well, and to look great doing it. In many ways, that’s analogous to the

Everybody loves a good fight. Whether it’s physical or a battle of words, we all gather around the aggravated parties, picking our sides and wondering who’s going to win. The major gaming services are no different in this regard. A lot of people in our storied community have preferences, and pretty strong ones at that.

1. The Last of Us Part II After the emotional rollercoaster that was the first instalment of The Last of Us, the highly anticipated second part of the story seems to follow Ellie on a revenge-a-thon through the post-apocalyptic, shroom-ridden United States. We’re not sure yet who she’s avenging but with those graphics and those

007 GoldenEye was a masterpiece, helping to define the Nintendo 64’s success. After all, it was such exclusive games that delivered the ultimate entertainment experience. In fact, it is for this very reason that I’d like to see the next Bond game be an exclusive once again – otherwise, I doubt we will see an

Hell imagery isn’t anything new in culture in general, or in video games specifically. It takes a singular vision to stand out in this field, and it appears that Madmind Studio’s upcoming game Agony is up to the challenge. What does it have on offer and what kind of infernal cookie is it specifically? Let’s

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

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.
