It is with great regret that we learnt today of the potential closure of the gaming website CVG. Having been announced in a statement the website’s owners, Future plc, are entering into a forty-five day consultation period which may see the selling off of the site’s brand and its eventual shutdown. Beginning in 1981 Computer & Video Games, as it was then known, started out life as the world’s first gaming-orientated magazine. While other publications were generally devoted to the hardware of computing, CVG declared itself fun and entertaining.

By Vanessa Hague Batman: Arkham Knight is the third and final installment in Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy and if this gameplay trailer is anything to go by, this game is going to be, for a lack of a better word, epic. Although not much is revealed about the game's storyline in this trailer we do get introduced to some key characters. By Paul Robert Scott For a person like me game trailers are rarely things to take notice of. This is usually down to the fact that most are simply used as a form of graphical 'one-upmanship' on the part of developers who simply wish to brag about how shiny looking their latest release is, with perhaps a line or two thrown in to give some idea of plot. By Anne Marie Beach 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! By Vanessa Hague Halo 5: Guardians has been announced by Microsoft today with a release date of Autumn 2015, exclusive for the Xbox One. It is unclear at this point whether or not Halo 5 will be split into multiple games, as was the case with 2009's Halo 3: ODST. According to Eurogamer, US TV and Film actor Mike Colter has been cast in an upcoming feature set within the Halo universe. Colter has had several on-screen parts before now, his most prominent of which was as Big Willie Little in Clint Eastwood's 2004 sports drama film, Million Dollar Baby, which starred Hilary Swank. Colter also famously portrayed Colonel James Darrell Edwards II, revealed to be the father of Agent J (Will Smith's character) in Men in Black 3. By Luke Kirby It’s somewhat of a harsh truth but the catalogue of games on the Wii U has been rather lacking, specifically with the popular/iconic franchises, since the release of the console in November 2012. So I gleefully look forward to the release of Mario Kart 8 released on the 30th of May because quite frankly my Wii U is gathering thicker layers of dust as the days go on. By Carla Hodge If you've been keeping updated with all things Westeros in the last month you'll remember that Telltale Games are turning their not inconsiderable talent to current fantasy behemoth, Game of Thrones. The digital world of Westeros will be delivered, as we might expect, in an episodic form, and like The Walking Dead will run concurrently with the the television show that is now in its fourth series. By Ben Mapp. Red Dwarf is a British sitcom set in space produced by the BBC, and features Craig Charles as Dave Lister, the last surviving human, who sets out to return to Earth after a prolonged sleep in cryo-stasis. The show also starred Chris Barrie as a hologram of Lister’s dead bunk-mate, a servant ‘mechanoid’ called Kryten played by Robert Llewellyn, and a rebellious life-form that evolved from Lister’s cat played by Danny John-Jules. The show originally ran from 1988 to 1999 before being discontinued in favour of a live-action film (which never transpired). The franchise eventually returned to British television on Dave in 2012 with a new series, entitled Red Dwarf X (the tenth series if we are to count the 2009 three-part-story ‘Back to Earth’ as Series IX). By Carla Hodge Well, the making-a-movie-based-on-a-video-game gauntlet has been picked up again, having been grasped and hastily dropped a number of times over the last two decades or so. The next game up for a celluloid makeover is World of Warcraft, directed by Duncan Jones (previously of Source Code and Moon, which have both been nominated for actual awards), and starring Paula Patton, Travis Fimmel, and Dominic Cooper amongst others. Empire magazine has even managed to secure some screenshots. |
