Overly Sexualised Gaming #3 - Just do it already!

7/14/2014

By Anne Marie Beach and Ben Mapp

If you play games as much as we do then you know all too well the tactics game developers deploy to make sales. Scantily clad babes in armour aside, there is another way to sell sex to audiences without being too upfront about it. Since the dawn of story driven gaming (or you know, good stories in general) there has always been a hero who falls for a heroine and the two have undeniable sexual tension that have us screaming “Do it already!”

Sony at E3 - Destiny, Sackboy and Zombies!

6/9/2014

If you tuned in to watch Sony's E3 conference then you probably heard the many buzz words and phrases thrown around during a presentation that was wholly underwhelming. While there were quite a few games that actually caught my attention, the rest of it as a unit was boring and I continually longed for it to end. Having been raised on Sony products I found this to be massively disappointing. This is no Xbox/Nintendo fangirl hate I'm dishing out. The presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't up to the standard set by last year’s E3 presentation, although to be fair how can anyone measure up to an E3 with two console release announcements?

This weekend I got down to play the newly released Qbeh-1 The Atlas Cube,. It is the prequel to Qbeh, a short puzzle-platformer developed by Liquid Flower and inspired by popular titles such as Portal and Minecraft. This prequel, which promises to expand on the gameplay introduced in the original game, has been hotly-anticipated as a consequence. Let's find out why!

Child of Light is the newest release from Ubisoft Montreal, and is a platforming role-playing game set within a fantasy world. This studio is particularly known for developing renowned gaming franchises such as Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia and - as of later this month - Watch Dogs, so this title was highly anticipated. Ubisoft crafts a unique experience in this fairytale-inspired story with bold artistic style, using the same in-house engine as their most recent and critically-acclaimed Rayman games.
