As an audience, gamers demand more than they ever have before. We hold developers to a higher standard – and rightly so, when each game is sixty to seventy quid a pop on release day. So when Naughty Dog decided to do a zombie apocalypse game, I thought the decision was a little…odd. They don’t […]

One can certainly see the logic of the current trend of timed-exclusives with the console market the way it is.
