Despite some questionable use of characters, the narrative in Batman: Arkam Knight is engrossing. The city of Gotham is appropriately sprawling with a great deal to do. Combat is smooth and fluid, even if driving the Batmobile is not, and there are several good hooks for progressing Batman’s character that...
Sadly there’s not too much more to the game than that. Adventures of Pip is a solid platformer with a clever little gameplay mechanic, but ultimately doesn’t do all that much with it. That being said, away from the mechanics, it was also good to see one of these retro-themed...
While it seemed a bit weird that Capcom had not originally included Devil May Cry 4 into its HD Collection a few years back, the Special Edition is worth a look for fans of the series on the PlayStation 4 as a stand alone game, thanks to the visual upgrades...
Coupled with the bright, colourful art style and cheery soundtrack, I honestly struggle to see how anyone could play one of these games and not enjoy their time with it. And, with each new game (or remake) showing an enhanced understanding of gameplay balance and depth, it’s easy to see...
Payday itself has become a very influential game, with other titles, such as Ubisoft’s upcoming Tom Clancy’s The Siege clearly cribbing ideas from it. I’d be cautiously interested in seeing a third Payday somewhere down the track, as I do think there’s room for the developers to build a greater...
These complaints might seem petty, but Capcom have copied and pasted a game from one system to another, and done so knowing that people really will shell out for this on the basis that it is a Street Fighter game. There’s something quite mesmerising as to how such complexity can...
The sun is setting outside Vault 333 as it sets outside my own apartment. My performance report in Fallout Shelter says I’ve earned a B. Not bad for day two. As I prepare for bed, I set an alarm. Not for morning, but for the middle of the night when...
Overall Kholat is an atmospheric adventure game that is creepy but really should not be labeled as a horror game. With a wonderful art style and amazing sound effects, Kholat should still please horror fans and adventure game fans alike.
It’s quite a long visual novel, but Steins;Gate is, like a good book, hard to put down. It’s subtle, but it plays into all the strengths of the interactive game medium and uses them to enhance its narrative in such a way that the story it tells wouldn’t be possible...
The Swapper is a great title both graphically, gameplay, and in concept. There might well be too many of these indie puzzle/ platformers these days, but when they’re as good as this one, it hardly matters.
Despite these irritants, The Escapist remains light-hearted fun. It’s not an especially meaningful or rich gaming experience (and of course, it doesn’t try to be either), and it won’t be remembered a decade from now as a classic, but it’s honest entertainment that does on some level tap into one...
There clearly is a market for games like Sparkle Unleashed, but what’s sad to see is that there was a lot of effort put into the game. There are animated cut scenes and visually appealing visuals, but the raw lack of innovation in a kind of game that is rapidly...
