Maid of Sker
Wales doesn’t get a lot of attention in the media. I know I’m speaking for a lot of Welsh people when I say that it still comes as a shock when people outside the UK recognize Wales as a country. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly proud of any part of...
As a gamer who has always owned both the Xbox and PlayStation consoles, I have felt bad for Xbox-only players for many years in one big respect: they couldn’t play the amazing Yakuza series of games. But now, it’s the opposite – I envy them. With Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami...
Think of a controversial game. Chances are, one of the first few you’re likely to name is Death Stranding. Mysterious since it’s initial reveal, not everyone was on board with what Kojima Productions went for in the final game. I loved it, and as a group COGconnected ended up naming...
Skater XL
Fast forward to 2020 and that need for a skating game has re-emerged. After flooding the market during the late 90s and early 2000s, fans of extreme sports have been living in a 10-year drought, yearning for a game that faithfully replicates the sport. Grinding its way to the Playstation...
I can’t help but think of that saying that talks about how time is a flat circle, and everything that’s happened or will ever happen is bound to repeat itself. I mean, how can I not be reminded of that? Time and time again, disappointing Switch port after disappointing Switch...
In the early 90s, arcade fighters were all the rage. Companies such as Capcom and SNK had built a reputation as masters of the genre and as a result, aficionados eagerly awaited releases from the Japanese giants. Although not as popular as Street Fighter or King of Fighters, Samurai Shodown...
Fairy Tail
Fairy Tail is a long-running, Japanese franchise that spans its manga, anime, figurines, and more. After a number of delays leading up to its release, the game is finally releasing worldwide. For the uninitiated, Fairy Tail revolves around a guild of mages, telling the members’ individual stories as well as...
Carrion
Carrion snuck out of nowhere, much like the monster you play in it. With such little marketing and fanfare, I didn’t know what to expect going in, but what I found was nothing short of incredible. From its aesthetics down to the core gameplay, there is little I could fault...
It’s hard to believe that the original Sword Art Online light novels first debuted in Japan over a decade ago and garnered mass popularity that eventually spawned a very successful anime. It was no surprise when games began following its path, as the concept of playing a fantasy MMO VR...
Rocket Arena
Rocket Arena is a 3v3 hero shooter developed by Final Strike Games and it’s an EA Originals title that will look to bring in fans of multiple genres. The colourful visuals and ten playable characters are reminiscent of Fortnite, while their abilities are more akin to Bleeding Edge and Overwatch....
Virtual Reality is both perfect for horror games and uniquely unsuited for the genre. You’re immediately immersed, with every stray noise and light flicker raising your heart rate. On the other hand, technical limitations can quickly pull you out of the simulation, reminding you that everything is going to be...
It’s no secret that Paper Mario has fallen on harsh times over the past ten years. Sticker Star and Paper Jam failed to capture the magic that Nintendo found with the series in the early 2000s. And while Colour Splash was more in-tune with Paper Mario’s roots, players didn’t entirely...
