Summertime usually brings with it beer gardens, (the occasional day of) sunshine and music festivals. The latter being the chance to forget troubles of the real-world and just exist in a several day long party. But what if you annual pilgrimage to your festival of choice turns sour when say, the uninvited undead come and crash the party? Find out how you would cope in Dead Island 2: SoLA DLC, out now for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
The race between siblings DeMarco and Lesedi for their fathers’ treasure finally comes to a head in this, the final issue of Titan Comics’ Sea of Thieves tie-in comic series! They’ve fought skeletons, the weather, and other pirates but more commonly, with each other. Now, in the final issue, can the crews put their differences aside to find the treasure they are both looking for? But even then, do they have the decency to share it equally amongst themselves?
Not meaning to sound pessimistic – that is the actual name of the game – but Yet Another Zombie Defense HD is out now, allowing Xbox One gamers to annihilate a ton of zombies.
The team at Three Fields Entertainment have been going from strength to strength since Fiona Sperry and Alex Ward left Criterion, releasing Dangerous Golf in 2016 and Danger Zone a year later on Xbox One. But since the Xbox One X update for Danger Zone, things went quiet. Until recently that is, when Three Fields announced not one, but two games to make up for their radio silence.
The Gate of Memories re-opens once more, this time to tell the story of Nameless in Anima: Gate of Memories – The Nameless Chronicles. And alongside that we also see the Arcane Edition arrive!
As if the prospect of finally being able to play through the remastered trilogy on Xbox come 29th June was not enough, the team at Vicarious Visions have announced there will be a brand spanking new level to play in the Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped section of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy.
Let’s just settle something right off the bat; I now own Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on Sega Mega Drive 2, PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, Android, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 (and backwards compatible on Xbox One already), the fridge, hoover, kettle, egg timer, bathroom scales and at this stage I’m pretty sure it comes pre-loaded on my rabbit’s microchip as well.
And yet, when Sega announced another collection of classic Mega Drive games for the Xbox One, I still got excited. Why? Because this version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 comes with 52 other games thrown in with it.
After a lull in Issue 2, things pick up again in the third issue of Titan Comics’ Sea of Thieves series as the rival pirates’ crew must deal with a small army of skeletons, and another crew of pirates doing what pirates do best. Stealing.
Normally when a car or vehicle leaves a trail of something behind it, drivers would do well to stay as far away as possible. Whatever it is, it doesn’t look good.
Trailblazers flips that idea on its head and says, “Driving through this slurry the car in front has just deposited actually speeds your car up!” It’s a great concept in theory, but sometimes I wish it was thick black smoke emanating from the engine, just so I could steer well clear... of both it and this game.
There are plenty of examples of games recently being pushed as a form of ‘art’. But how about a game where every detail is meticulously hand-drawn? Surely something that is designed via the more traditional method of ‘art’ using pen and paper proves the point and must be used as a prime example?

A few years ago, a group of friends and I embarked on the tabletop RPG game known as HeroQuest, Games Workshop’s and Milton Bradley’s answer to Dungeons and Dragons. It’s a turn-based dungeon romp that pits players against the evil wizard Morcar. Our group had a climactic battle against the wizard that went down to the very last dice roll, and it will be something I remember for the rest of my days. There were tears and tantrums, and the kind of camaraderie that only four blokes in their 20’s and 30’s could have by playing a board game and eating copious amounts of Haribo.
Knights of Pen and Paper attempts to recreate that experience, and that of other tabletop RPGs, in a single player turn-based RPG. And it does a pretty good job of it too.
Ever fancied playing tabletop RPG but don’t have the imagination/space/time/friends/patience to do so? Thankfully there is help at hand in the form of Knights of Pen and Paper +1 Deluxier Edition on Xbox One - the latest version of the game that first featured on mobiles back in 2012.
The Sniper Elite franchise is set to continue in paper fashion as the team at Rebellion have announced a tie-in comic series called Sniper Elite: Resistance.
After reaching their initial target of $30,000, the team at Ink Stains Games are delighted to announce that Stoneshard will be arriving on Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC in 2019.
Once available at a rate of ten a penny, side scrolling fighting games have virtually disappeared in more recent years, as gaming budgets increase and trends die away. Raging Justice is here to remind everyone that these games can still pack a hefty punch when it comes to whittling away an afternoon or two.
