Zombie Army Trilogy Review

March 16, 2015 Sebastian Young PC, PS4, Reviews, SY, Xbox One

The only good National Socialist is a dead National Socialist. Unless they’re the undead, in which case… Ah hell, there are no good National Socialists. But that being so, in Rebellion’s Zombie Army Trilogy, we’re given the tools needed to balance that equation right out.

Set in an alternate reality where Hitler, the fat handed twat, instead of blowing his brains out in his Berlin bunker, initiates “Plan C”, releasing a undead horror upon a dilapidated Germany. With the country now full of zombified Nazis, it’s time to break out the old Springfield and head for home.

Hold ‘X’ To Go FU*K Yourself

February 24, 2015 Sebastian Young Editorials, SY

If the release last week of The Order: 1886 taught us one thing, it’s that Quick Time Events (QTEs) suck. Except that we didn’t need the lesson, because we already knew that. I knew it. You knew it. Every developer out there knew it. And yet the trend of including them in every kind of game continues unabated. Read more …

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.

One of the early selling points that Sony used to differentiate their new machine from the competition was it’s ‘innovative’ sharing functions. The features promised us that now, with the simple click of a button, your screenshots and videos would be whisked away by the internet fairies to be deposited on the social media outlet of your choice. More than a year on from launch, I had began to ask myself, does anyone actually care?
