These were, however, playthroughs with a twist. Like speedrunning attempts or non-lethal clears of stealth games, they involved more challenging, entirely self-imposed rules. In the world of Pokémon, this particular variety is called a Nuzlocke, a kind of bond-strengthening challenge mode where knocked-out Pokémon are considered ‘dead’ and must be released or permanently locked away, where you can only catch the first Pokémon you find in each area, where having your whole party be defeated means a complete game over and where, crucially, each precious new addition to your team must be given a nickname....

Having never played a Need for Speed title before, I was a little anxious when I sat down to play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit at a preview event last Wednesday. Sure, I’d played Criterion’s Burnout series – heck, I’d even written a special edition of ‘What’s Game Rant Playing?’ about how much I enjoyed it – but would Hot Pursuit be too different for me to enjoy? Would my obscenely high expectations be thrown to the earth with a shattering thud?...

A Vampire Hunter D game was released on the original PlayStation in 1999 but was ill-received. Here are 10 things we’d love to see from a new one....

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare has introduced some changes to the way loadouts work, and while many are a welcome improvement, it can be a little overwhelming trying to understand how the new components complement and affect each other in this great game. That said, it still might end up being one of the best Call of Duty games of all time.
