Screen Savers: The Room

Last year, the PBS Idea Channel put out a video posing the question “can you make a movie that’s so bad it’s good on purpose?”, citing films like Sharknado and Ghost Shark by The Asylum as attempts at just that, while contrasting them against films that are terrible but don’t know they’re bad, such as […]

Deus Ex Pre-Order Program Cancelled After Negative Feedback

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided‘s ‘Augment Your Pre-Order’ system received a significant backlash after its announcement, having been widely criticized by well-known critics including Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit. In essence, the system was that the more people who pre-ordered, the more content would be unlocked for those who pre-ordered. So, for example, if enough people pre-ordered […]

RePlay: TimeSplitters 2

You can play as a humanoid duck and blast a life-sized gingerbread man with a plasma rifle. I could go on about the game in detail but really that’s all you need to know. Grab some mates and go be plasma ducks for a night. Job done. …Actually, I think the editors are looking at […]

Boss Rush: Bravely Default (3DS)

In all honesty, the title ‘ Boss Rush’ could actually serve as an adequate description of Bravely Default‘s second half. The first half was absolutely brilliant, proving that despite how old and overplayed the idea is, travelling around the world to purify the four crystals of the elements can actually still work. The only problem […]

Rewatch: Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

It’s really no wonder that Scott Pilgrim became such a cult hit. Directed by Edgar Wright of Spaced, Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame, based on a series of successful graphic novels, a soundtrack from some of the world’s most acclaimed indie musicians and stellar performances from a mix of well-known names and […]

Forgotten Childhood: The Legend Of Zelda – The Minish Cap

There’s an adage amongst gamers that when it comes to long-running series, the first one any given person plays will always be their favourite. I don’t necessarily think that’s true in my case – the oft-cited example is the Final Fantasy series, and my favourite game in that series isn’t the first one I played. […]

First Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst Gameplay Trailer Released

We were huge fans of the first Mirror’s Edge, counting it as one of our favourite and most underrated games of the previous console generation. When we heard it was getting a prequel, we were ecstatic, and EA have released a brand new gameplay trailer for our enjoyment. EA initially said that the game would […]

ESL To Randomly Screen For Drugs After Adderall Scandal

Now that it’s had its very own doping scandal, eSports can consider itself that little bit closer to mainstream professional athletics, but in this case that’s hardly a good thing. Just over a week ago, Cory ‘Semphis’ Friesen of Cloud 9’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team admitted that he and his team abused the performance-enhancing drug […]

Fallout 4 Companion Information Revealed At QuakeCon

As revealed by Bethesda at QuakeCon, Fallout 4 will contain 12 companions for players, and you can romance all of them. Except the dog and the robot, obviously. Initially revealing the news by saying that you can romance any companion regardless of gender, the internet soon caught the wrong end of the stick and asked […]
