Hello dear readers and happy new year! It’s no surprise that last year was a healthy one for gaming fans and production companies alike, with presumably “standard” titles such as Far Cry 3, The Walking Dead and The Darkness II far outselling everyone’s expectations and rivalling blockbuster titles such as Halo 4, FIFA 13 and...

From the creator of the online comic Guinea Something Good comes a new retro platformer that takes a new perspective on the genre. I mean that literally, since the game will actually spin as you play through, giving the impression of a 3D world. In that regard, it’s a bit like Fez (although the two...

In all regards, Journey was a beautiful game. It stunned gamers everywhere with its breathtaking visuals, despite how simple the graphics and models were compared to other PS3 games and other games on the market.
