We’ve all heard the news by now. Nintendo’s next console is codenamed “NX”, it’ll be unveiled next year and it’s a dedicated gaming system with a “brand new concept”. But what does that all mean, and what does it mean for Nintendo going forward? First up, let’s look at the timetable. If the NX is …
The Nintendo Wii U is without question, the underdog of the console market, even if it is the best console on store shelves right now. For gamers like myself, the most important difference between the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U is the amount of exclusive games they offer. Sure, they have differences in …
A voice actor may have just pulled the rug out on Square-Enix and Disney as far as Kingdom Hearts III is concerned. Bill Farmer, who voices one of the franchises central characters, Goofy, tweeted earlier today that the game would have a 2015 release.
Aside from the extremely brief announcement trailer at E3 2014, Naughty Dog have kept quiet on Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the next (and final) outing for everyones favorite tomb raider (sorry Lara). Thankfully, all that changed over the weekend at Sony’s Playstation Experience in Las Vegas. Unleashing a mighty 15-minute video – which readers can check out below – viewers were treated to a fairly long sequence that gave some idea of what to expect when Drake finally lands on PS4.
Though the release date and any real plot details still remain shrouded in secrecy, Telltale’s upcoming Game of Thrones series purportedly leaked a few screenshots yesterday.

It has been over a month since the release of Destiny and much has changed since Bungie’s latest released. Several events have come and gone, particular weapons have risen to fame and faded into oblivion, and the Crucible has been tailored and balanced several times over. Now seems as ideal a time as ever to reevaluate the new title from the developers of Halo.

Unlike an actual review, this article will focus more on the qualities that I noticed within my own experience without gauging the overall quality of the title.
Even in the daring realm of indie titles, few games would have the gall to be as jarring and deliberately unpleasant as Hotline Miami. An ugly game, through and through, Hotline Miami is also insanely addictive and offers loads of hardcore fun. But the glaring question is why?
Released alongside the PlayStation 4, HouseMarque’s homage to classic shooters such as Defender and Datastorm was easily the best pick of the launch games (and in many ways is yet to be beaten). Casting you as a small ship on a large, curved cylinder, Resogun tasks you with moving left, right, up and down along the rotating background whilst shooting baddies, dodging projectiles and – most importantly – saving humans.
Before Rocksteady got a hold of the Batman franchise, the Dark Knight, like many of his superhero contemporaries, had only starred in games which were passable at best. That all changed in 2009 though, with the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum.
It made a certain kind of sense last generation.
