Creating A First Gaming PC On A Budget

March 2, 2015 Jareth Anstey Archive, JA, PC

I have always been interested in the differences between consoles capabilities, I like to see which games look better on which consoles and I’m addicted to watching graphics comparisons on newly released games.

Often these graphics comparison videos show footage from Xbox, Playstation and PC, though I paid closest attention to the consoles I was also jealously watching the PC footage in awe of how it was always ahead of the competition by a long way. So I have decided to stop fretting about differences between consoles and just dive into the complex pool of PC parts, heat sinks, CPU’s GPU’s memory and RAM (“memory IS RAM!”) and this is my experience.

Grim Fandango Remastered Review

February 25, 2015 Joseph Butler-Hartley JB-H, PC, PS4, PSVita, Reviews

In a past editorial, I riled against the fact that most video game developers seem to consider ‘story’ to be one of the least important factors of a game. However, back in the 90s when adventure games were riding high, games were valued on the strength of their narratives, and few have been as acclaimed as Grim Fandango, which was recently remastered and released on PS4, PS Vita and Steam.

The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 Review

February 22, 2015 Sebastian Young PC, Reviews, SY

Point-and-click games have been experiencing something of a resurgence in recent years, spearheaded by games such as Telltale’s The Walking Dead. The Book of Unwritten Tales 2, by German developer KING Art, however falls in-line with the point-and-clicks of old. It’s much more Monkey Island than it is The Wolf Among Us.

Evolve

February 18, 2015 Drew Pontikis Archive, DP, PC, PS4, Reviews, Xbox One

Evolve is a difficult review for me, as I can’t help but view it through the prism of my own weighty expectations. For a long time, Evolve has looked like the game that was finally going to kick start the age of PS4 and XBone, using the grunt to power something different and innovative rather than something that’s the same but prettier. Regardless, any new franchise is always going to invoke adulation and derision in equal measure, either for finally being something different to the existing fare or for being too different to what we’re used to. Either way, it was very much a sense of anticipation that washed over me as the disc went into the Xbox and I sat back to see how it all panned out. Read more …

Decay: The Mare

February 18, 2015 Joseph Butler-Hartley Horror Show, Mobile, PC

There’s been a good precedent of horror games flourishing on mobile devices before making the inevitable step up to Steam. The superb Year Walk led the way, and now Decay: The Mare is following in its footsteps. Read more …

The Escapists Review

February 15, 2015 Michael Dalgleish MD, PC, Reviews, TeamZ1G, Xbox One

Don’t be fooled by The Escapists cutesy graphics and quirky charm. Underneath its modest exterior lies a devilishly punishing prison escape game that will have you tearing your hair out at times and punching the air in celebration at others.

Developed by Mouldy Toof Studios, which is predominantly one man Chris Davis, and published by Team 17 of the Worms franchise, The Escapists sees you thrown into gradually more complex and demanding prisons and tasked with, as the name suggests, escaping.
