A couple of months ago I got involved in a somewhat heated debate with a chap at the local pub. I’m ashamed to say it even got a little out of hand and (in an inebriated state) I may have said some things that I am not all too proud of. I may have even wagged my finger in his general direction once or twice.

A couple of months ago I got involved in a somewhat heated debate with a chap at the local pub. I’m ashamed to say it even got a little out of hand and (in an inebriated state) I may have said some things that I am not all too proud of. I may have even wagged my finger in his general direction once or twice. By Ben Mapp If our recent review of Watch_Dogs didn't convince you that Ubisoft are anything but the expert craftsmen we describe them to be when it comes to putting together lively, visual and utterly immersive gaming worlds, then perhaps this will make you see reason. But of course, the open sea is a treacherous place, so make ready the sails and man those cannons as we continue our in-depth reflection into last year's swashbuckling epic, Assassin's Creed IV - Black Flag. By Ben Mapp We can all agree that war is a terrible, terrible thing. Yet we pour it into our fiction too as a means of escapism, alongside other popular genres such as adventure, fighting and puzzle games. How do we distract ourselves from the horrors of war? ...Well, by playing war-themed video games of course! By Vanessa Hague Gearbox seem to be ramping things up for their latest installment in the Borderlands franchise, having just released a new trailer only hours ago, "The Pre-Sequel Moon Dance" trailer, hot off the heels of the Handsome Jack Pre-Sequel trailer they released a few weeks back. Things for the Pre-Sequel look very promising if the latest trailer is anything to go by. By the IWG Games Team Dying Light is an upcoming first-person, story-driven survival game set in a post-apocalyptic setting filled with hordes of the undead. It is developed by Techland will be published by Warner Bros. Interactive when it arrives on both current and next-gen systems early next year. By Chris Crompton For twenty-two years that happy-go-lucky mustached plumber (and the various anthropomorphic creatures of the Mushroom Kingdom) have been writing and rewriting the playbook on how to correctly do a racing game, and this latest installment has its sights set on adding its own special chapter to this infamous genre-defining series. Nintendo pulls out all the stops in this regard, and I’m going to try and keep the twelve-year-old fanboy in me at bay to tell you about the good, the bad and the downright nit-picky about Mario Kart 8. By Vanessa Hague We all remember when Watch_Dogs was first showcased to the world at E3 back in 2012 and completely took everyone by surprise. The standards were set inexplicably high during that first reveal, with so many hoping that the promised game was truly going to herald the next gaming generation. Two years later and the game has finally been released, so the question is - does Watch_Dogs live up to hype? By John Philip Jennings For all you Batman fans out there who were looking forward to playing Batman: Arkham Knight, which was initially due for release in October for next-gen systems and PC, has unfortunately been pushed back till 2015, developer Rocksteady has confirmed. Whilst no reason was given for the delay it's possible the extra time is being used to polish the game more and give each fan a Batman game they deserve. As of this announcement however, WB Games and Rocksteady Have released a new teaser to make up for the delay that gives us a good look at the new Batmobile, with all of its fancy looking high tech weapons to boot. The IWG Games Team Last week we asked you, the readers, to tell us about your most favourite game of all-time. We received such an overwhelming response via our social networking channels afterwards and have narrowed down to just a select few we found to be the most compelling. So did your favourite make the cut? Find out here! By Mahesh Subramaniam 'In Sheep's Clothing.' Telltale Games is a studio dedicated to making episodic experiences that are highly-interactive, character-driven stories. The latest such release is the fourth episode of The Wolf Among Us which, unfortunately, was not the best example of their work. I won't go into too much detail to avoid spoilers if you haven't played the first three episodes. Wolf Among Us is a prequel to the comic book series Fables, which uses famous fairy-tale characters as their main characters. |
