Open-world games have been the main genre of the video game industry for past several years. Once developers figured out there was a lot of money to be made in games that “allow players to do what they want,” more and more hopped on the train to create them. Now, it has become a cliché to make an open-world game, leading many to become disillusioned with most games in the genre....
A few weeks ago our resident ‘2 cowards’ sat down with Hektor and embarrassed us, themselves and their families. No one should ever be that scared of anything. The shame… So what do you do when such events take place? You throw them back in a room and tell them to keep playing. So, for your viewing pleasure, Simon and Dave return to Hektor, and make even bigger fools of themselves than they did before....
While Disney has been releasing much-loved animated movies for over 80 years now, the 1990s were a particularly special time in the studio’s history. Nicknamed the “Disney Renaissance,” this was the decade in which some of their best work came into our lives. Think The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin—to name but a few! We 90s kids were lucky enough to grow up with these incredible films, and many of them still occupy a special place in Disney fans’ hearts....
With the hype around Smash Bros. Ultimate, this has truly been the peak of Waluigi’s popularity. The tagline of Ultimate has been ’everyone is here’, referring to every character from every Smash Bros. and then some. However, one notable figure from Nintendo is conspicuously absent from the roster; our purple leggy boy Waluigi. Like Wario is to Mario, Waluigi is Luigi’s unpleasant counterpart in the Mario franchise. First introduced in Mario Tennis on N64, Waluigi’s character has always had a following, but this year has brought new fans into the fold....
With the coming modern console remake of Final Fantasy VII looking great, it brings to mind several things from Final Fantasy’s past that could be remade to great effect. With 15 mainline games in the Final Fantasy series so far, and even more in sequels and spin-offs, there’s plenty of classic material to go back and see beautiful renditions of. Many of the best games of Final Fantasy came from its 16-bit era, and even some of the more recent (but functionally classic) titles would be deserving of a remake....

Warning: This piece contains discussions of mortality. To play the current build of Birth, I go to my desktop and click on a small icon showing a picture of a tooth. This is important: it’s a whole tooth, with the parts seen and the parts that, traditionally, go unseen, since they exist beyond everyday thoughts and below the gumline. “Below the gumline” might be a nice way of thinking about Birth itself, as it happens, a whole game that exists below the gumline....
Trying to get the balance right in a horror-comedy can be a tricky balancing act. Lean too hard into the horror and you can potentially scare half of your audience away. Alternatively, lean too far into the comedy and the tone and the overall stakes pushing the narrative forward can take a nosedive. While classics in the sub-genre are few and far between, it’s fair to say that the Evil Dead series stands tall as the pinnacle of the form....
Even those who were around in the 80s might not remember The Mutilator, but it certainly lives deep in the hearts of horror fans that love gratuitous violence. While the acting and story took a backseat, the kills were absolutely creative and gory. Nearly 40 years later, The Mutilator is finally getting a sequel titled Mutilator 2, thanks to LRB Productions (Terror Trips, Final Cut). While the film was officially announced in late December, it wasn’t until a few weeks later that the first official trailer came out....
Crytek has today revealed that a new Crysis game is in development, the first mainline game since Crysis 3 in 2013. The announcement comes by way of an official press release, though images from today’s accompanying CGI trailer surfaced hours before the embargo which were then subsequently confirmed by the developer. The game is in the very early stages of development, with little in the way of firm details about its design and premise confirmed in today’s announcement....
A new game based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-Earth universe has been announced by Private Division and Weta Workshop. That being said, Weta Workshop are the special effects company best known for their work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They established a games division in 2014, so this could end up with a similar, if legally distinct, vibe. Amie Wolken, Head of Interactive at Weta, provides the following quote. ““It’s a privilege to create a new game set in Middle-earth, especially one that’s so different from what fans have played previously....

The first game I ever played on my PSP was Lumines. It surprised me just how much what was essentially a Tetris clone could be enhanced with some upbeat tunes. Chime Super Deluxe is an update to last year’s Xbox Live and PC music-based puzzler Chime, and manages to keep the game simple and fun, like Lumines, while adding some interesting features that increase the overall value and longevity of Zoë Mode’s puzzle game....
