Following on last month’s theme, I’ll be tackling another ghostly game. This time we’re taking a look at Ghost Master from 2003.

This article is about giving a tint of the limelight to a few games that aren’t all that ingrained into the public consciousness. It may be helpful to think of this as a belated review collection, or an engagement between you and I of shared experiences that may well resurface over the course of reading, and I will indeed invite comments on this, or similar games that I have not mentioned, that have lent themselves to the scrapheap of video game history.

Wait for More Games Before Jumping Next-Gen

As I sit down and boot up Netflix for the third time today on my PS4 to watch House of Cards, a thought hits me. Recently, my PS4 has basically been relegated to a £370 (I bought mine secondhand) glorified Netflix machine. £370 of my hard earnt salary, a minimum-wage and part-time paid salary has gone towards this and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Remember how most of us scoffed when Microsoft revealed their plans to make the One a more TV and media related console all those months ago? "Gaming consoles should be about the games!" We all cried and rightly so, they indeed should be.

Sir Terry Pratchett's life will always be celebrated for his creation and development of the infamous Discworld novels. But one thing many of his fans don't know is that Pratchett was very fond of gaming, having enjoyed playthroughs of Prince of Persia, Wing Commander and X-Wing. He, like many of us, had a particular fondness for Tetris. His daughter, Rhianna, ultimately ended up forging a career in gaming through journalism and then later in scripting story-driven games, such as both the critically acclaimed BioShock Infinite and the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise.

The Video Game BAFTAs were held last night and finally the winners were announced. The nominees this year were an extremely varied bunch, as were the winners, as not one game seemed to make a grand sweep across the board.

ICYMI - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Delayed until Spring 2016

by Luke Kirby

The highly anticipated Uncharted 4 has been delayed to a 2016 release despite Sony and Naughty Dog hyping the game for several months cementing it as a must have title for this holiday season. This means that Rise of the Tomb Raider, a timed exclusive for Xbox One, will likely be ruling the sales of the festive period.

There’s a lot of good stuff on the way in this year, there’s no doubt about that. Most of it, however, you’re going to see on the consoles, as the next-gen pissing contest between Microsoft and Sony perpetuates into 2015. What of the PC? I’ve pooled together a handful of intriguing titles for the budding Steam aficionado to keep an eye out for while they chase the dragon that is Grand Theft Auto V.

Can Valve Break into the Console Market?

3/9/2015

by Luke Kirby

Since their announcement back in 2014 not much has been heard about the Steam Machine, the self-described 'living room PC' superior to the home consoles. The original price tag seemed a bit ludicrous, and then it all went rather quiet.
