The last couple of days have given rise to a good talking point in the gaming community. Just yesterday, Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki came out and admitted that he was considering adding an Easy mode to the game that’s considered one of the toughest of its generation.

Transformers games of recent times have felt like one enormous packet of Rowntrees Fruit Randoms – a mixed bag. While Activison’s “War for Cybertron” more than satisfied fans of the Transformers franchise, it blasted casual gamers with regular and frustrating bouts of bugs, texture popping and general control issues. With the plot advancing further and emotion growing...

I remember owning a Street Fighter title on the Gameboy Advance when I was younger – and one thing I immediately appreciated...

Downloadable content obviously has its downsides, and I myself have repeatedly pointed to it as a huge problem for the industry. It seems like a way for developers to quickly cash in or milk a successful game to death—and that’s all true, in most cases. However, DLC is nothing new, and we’ll probably never see...

Slender. God-damn Slender. When I first heard of this game I was so very intrigued, then excited and finally horrified. I frigging well love the Survival Horror genre and to the best of my knowledge have played all the best games that the genre has to offer, be it the classic PS2 era Silent Hill...

Two Brothers is an exciting Kickstarter game that emulates series like Legend of Zelda and the original Pokémon games (judging from that Missing No screenshot, at least). The game looks like it uses the same four-shades-of-gray color scheme that the Gameboy used, although as you progress you encounter more colors that the main characters hope...
