It has been a few years since World of Warcraft has rekindled that magic that had me logging in every night, rotating between my different characters and doing my best to maximise each of the available professions, but so far Legion has once again helped me to find that spark....
Hue is a very special experience. Imagine taking some of the best bits of Braid and Thomas Was Alone and intertwining them into an equally amazing package and you get Hue. Hue deserves everyone’s attention and it also deserves a collector’s edition release.
For all it’s worth, Verdun is a fantastically developed game with a firm grounding in history, from developers who clearly love their subject material. It’s also quite a tough game to recommend. Not only is the lack of tutorial and unfamiliar gameplay going to scare off casual FPS fans, but...
Unrelentingly simple and yet uncontrollably addictive, Absolute Drift is a comfort game in every sense of the term. As soon as you become accustomed to the loose controls, it’s easy to lose yourself in the fantasy of driving down a path, gently spinning the steering wheel and feeling weightless from...
Of course, these games are of minimal value to those without twitch reflexes and an aptitude for prediction or pattern memorisation.

While I’d find this game hard to recommend to a casual racing fan, those looking for a challenge will certainly find it in Codemasters’ latest foray into the racing genre. The meticulously researched and replicated F1 scene will be a delight to gamers searching for a realistic experience, and who...
While Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X isn’t as brilliant as Future Tone, nothing is, and the core rhythm game action is faultless. An inspiring, entertaining soundtrack, coupled with stunning characters, costumes, and choreography makes this essential. Not just for Miku fans, but for anyone who enjoys fun. And you enjoy...
Really the appeal of Assetto Corsa is in taking control of Lamborghinis and Ferraris and racing around tracks that are really beautiful for high precision cars that have good acceleration built into them. It’s far more focused on what it does well than many other racing games, and unfortunately the...
W.M.D is a fun game, loaded with tons of content that should keep Worm fans and newcomers alike very busy. The series still has that sense of humour that it is so well known, while constantly adding in new features to deepen the gameplay experience. This one, in particular, is...

Mind you it does make me wonder – is there any reason someone can’t simply port Nethack to the PlayStation 4? Open source project as it is, that would make me incredidbly happy indeed.
No game, film, book or otherwise has been more effective in capturing what the experience of exploring the universe must be. Lonely, hostile and unforgiving, Hello Games’ effort works so hard to reject the convention on how games are made that it’s easy to understand why people expecting something more...
