Every single game publisher will advertise it’s products as “great”, “amazing” or “innovative”, but more often than not, that’s not the case. There’s an immense amount of video games that don’t live up to the hype, and I’m going to try to signal out five unreleased games that are very likely to underwhelm in 2014. Wolfenstein: The New Order The Wolfenstein series has been around forever. id Software basically invented First Person Shooters with the release of Wolfenstein 3D...

Why should Nintendo and the little Wii U-that-could be left out in the field? The system is more than capable to play the latest and greatest games; and there are obviously more people in ownership of a Wii U than an Xbox One. So why shouldn’t be on the system? Well, some gamers think that it should and that’s why they’ve created a petition to make it happen. Following all the hoopla over the upcoming betas and pre-order packages, games decided to take to Change.org to create a petition, ...

NPD group has released its figures for the best selling games of 2016 as well as the month of December with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare leading the way on both fronts. The biggest game of the year are what you might expect, with notable shooters and sports titles filling out the majority of the list with Final Fantasy XV being the latest released game to make the list.

The NPD Group’s research data has been made public, and the numbers are out.

If we take into account gaming hardware sales as well, the growth is actually 2%, mostly assisted by the launch of the Xbox One and Playstation 4. The trends show that m...

One of the main points of criticism coming away from the Nintendo Switch presentation last week was the pricing of upcoming software — and indeed peripherals — to the system. Or at least the pricing strategy Nintendo were adopting when it came to the UK. And with a non-bundled Switch requiring players to fork over £280 (which works out, at the time of writing, at around $346, nearly $50 more than its US price), it was certainly asking of some to pay an additional £60 ($74) for the likes o...

April is here (no joke, really), and with it come some new titles for Playstation Plus subscribers, as well as Xbox Games with Gold members. Up until now, the Playstation Plus offerings pretty much stomped anything Microsoft has been offering, but this month, both consoles give out some decent enough games. In fact, this month, Sony wasn’t generous at all, and the PS Plus line-up for April seems to be rather weak. Playstation 4 (PS Plus) – Mercenary Kings This is a side-scrolling shooter wit...
