After a week or two of speculation and rumours floating around the internet that Microsoft was in talks to buy Mojang, the company behind hit video game Minecraft, we can now put those rumours to rest as it's now been made official. The IWG Games Team As the last generation of gaming moves sluggishly towards its ultimate end and allows the eras of the PlayStation 4, Wii U and Xbox One to truly begin, some of our writers have banded together to provide you their thoughts on some of our most anticipated games across all platforms. Check 'em out! 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!” By Luke Kirby As I sat here and look at my current setup I have my Wii U, PS4 and beneath both of them is the beast that is my gaming PC. Honestly, it’s my favourite platform to game on. I’m going to list my reasons why I believe it trumps the console counterparts. I also promise to try and avoid a “PC Master Race” standpoint. So let's take a look at the glorious world of PC gaming! The IWG Games Team Last week we asked you to narrow down just one of your favourite characters from gaming, and whilst it's certainly not easy to settle on just one character out of a whole managerie, you attempted it anyway! We singled some of the most interesting. Only ten made the cut! Did yours? By Daniel Lamb In the beginning, there was Hironobu Sakaguchi. And he said, ‘Let there be Light Warriors!’ And thus began one of the most critically acclaimed, influential, and best-selling video game franchises of all time. The beginning in this case was 1987, the year that the very first Final Fantasy game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is no exaggeration to say that gaming would never be the same again. Spanning generations, consoles, and a host of fantastical worlds, the story of Final Fantasy and its remarkable evolution is a story well worth recounting. By John Philip Jennings and Ben Mapp Where is this franchise going to take us next? Before I begin to divulge on the possibilities, let's take a brief look at the settings we've visited so far. For those off you who haven't yet played a Bioshock game, I highly recommend you go pick up yourself a copy of the first game and give it a play because you're missing out on what could be a vital part of your life. By Paul Robert Scott Hello. I’m the Doctor. Well… OK. I’m not. But I really wish I was. I can actually class it as a major ambition of mine. I dress somewhat eccentrically with scarves and cravats, I have a tendency to wave my hands about when I speak and I don’t like screwdrivers that aren’t sonic. By John Philip Jennings The next Mass Effect game was teased during EA's E3 conference last week. The game itself was in very early development stages, but we did get a glimpse of a new protagonist, new worlds and we got to listen to some of the team at Bioware discuss their ambitions and desires for creating the game. But what do the fans want? By Reece Merryweather-Brown This year’s E3 has been an explosion of video game content, from gameplay of Mortal Kombat X, to a cinematic trailer of upcoming third-person MMO game, The Division. There’s been such a wide variety of content that it’s hard to pick out the truly amazing releases that stand out from the rest. However, IWGers are some of the most determined folk on these here internets. And you can sure as hell bet we're going to try! |
