Spider-Man may do whatever a spider can, but will he ever do it on the Xbox? Insomniac Games’ highly-anticipated sequel, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, has been gaining a lot of traction lately. The first look at the iconic black suit, Curt Connors’ Lizard personality, and Kraven the Hunter was just a small taste of what’s to come in Peter Parker and Miles Morales’ next adventure. With Venom and many more still in the shadows, Spider-Man 2 is shaping up to be […]

In years past, the summer months have seen the gaming industry go into a game release hibernation of sorts, as developers and publishers are either saving their games for the inevitable Black Friday/Christmas rush, or they’re too busy marketing their upcoming games through events like Summer Game Fest and Gamescom. In more recent years, the industry has just decided to burn the candle at both ends, inundating players with both news and new releases, meaning any plans you might have […]

While a lot of people initially wrote it off when it was revealed with so many clamouring for an Isolation sequel, Aliens: Dark Descent really is shaping up to be something a lot more than some fans are giving it credit for, as its recent gameplay overview trailer suggests. The new trailer showcases more of the real-time strategy, cinematic cutscenes (which already helps it stand out against Fireteam Elite), and mechanics that feel like a cross between The Thing and […]

The legacy of the Kinect is a complicated one. The Nintendo Wii proved so successful at bringing motion control “fun” to literally millions of homes, other companies tried to follow suit. Microsoft at least aspired to take this concept further, creating a peripheral that would utilize complete motion control and even speech recognition features. The resulting Kinect came with a lot of promise and anticipation, and a raft of Kinect games. Although the device would sell quite well initially, with […]

Competitive Fortnite players are finally getting their wish with the arrival of a proper ranked mode for the massive multiplayer hit. While Arena was a good alternative, it just didn’t feel like a true ranked mode for the game, but that’s now what we’re getting. From v24.40, Fortnite will be getting a Ranked mode for both Battle Royale and Zero Build that is replacing Arena, one that is very imaginatively called Fortnite Ranked. From the different ranks you can strive […]

Dead By Daylight is a multiplayer horror sensation that’s still got years of fun to come, but it can also be very grindy when it comes to unlocks. Everything is governed by Bloodpoints, which you can earn from doing well in matches, though with how skilled the playerbase is and how long it takes to complete the average match, as well as how many different characters there are to upgrade, it might take quite a while. Luckily for you, there […]

The Medieval period in human history is, curiously, one of the least covered eras in the strategy genre, with the vast majority of Medieval strategy games that do explore the Middle Ages centering around either Europe’s High Middle Ages or the Japanese Sengoku Jidai (Warring States) period. The Medieval aesthetic has found massive success in fantasy strategy gaming, but that’s a conversation for a different time. The dearth of strategy games covering the Medieval period does mean that there’s a […]

Heavily inspired by classic Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley invites players to the countryside for a bit of farming, fishing, and chit chat with the locals. Not one for the quiet life? Well, Stardew also offers players the chance to go off on heroic adventures and slay monsters, as all farmers do. Stardew Valley was something of an indie revelation when it released in 2016, and 20 million copies sold and countless imitators later, it’s fair to say that there is […]

The term “arcade racer” might have come from the brick and mortar establishments, where players would stick money down to compete against AI or friends in brightly coloured racing games, but the term has evolved in the years since. Arcade racers have now come to mean racing games that focus more stylised graphics, physics and overall gameplay, creating a larger-than-life experience unlike anything you’d play in a realistic racing game. Even though racing games have moved out of the arcades […]
