There are many live action video games scattered across the market, with the full-motion video scene having picked up massively in recent years. But there's room for that genre to go beyond your everyday standard gaming fare and when The Gallery launches on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Switch and mobile devices in April 2022, it'll be found releasing in cinemas too, giving the audience the chance to play the game as one.
A beautifully designed 2D platformer on its own is not very unique these days, but a beautifully designed 2D platformer that requires you to sing into your microphone certainly is! Enter One Hand Clapping - a new indie title from Bad Dream Games - to put your vocals to the test.

Being born after the “end of days” event that plunges humanity into survival mode comes with some benefits. Namely being that you never knew life before the struggle, so are better prepared for surviving. If that end of days was a zombie invasion too, I imagine you are a better breed of zombie killer than those that have been before. But just how good are you at killing zombies? Find out today in The Walking Zombie 2 on Xbox.
Some have tried, and failed to mimic the brilliantly balanced gameplay of Crazy Taxi - most notably Taxi Chaos which released earlier in 2021. However, the original didn’t need to be expanded or evolved in subsequent releases because there is something special about the original that is lost even when slightly changed.
You'd be right to think that the FMV game has seen a bit of an injection of life in recent times. Much of that is down to the brilliance of Wales Interactive and their plethora of full-motion video affairs. But back in the 1990s, FMV was on the verge of going stratospheric and American Hero promised to take it to the next level. Until it was cancelled. That was then though, and this is now - a time when American Hero is back!
Full-motion video games have come into their own in the last few years, with those at Wales Interactive pretty much behind the very best of them. Today though it's time for a slightly different idea to come to the fore as Bloodshore rolls out onto Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC and iOS as an interactive FMV that is fully focused on the Battle Royale world.
There might not be any actual ghosts in Ghostrunner, but that doesn’t mean they can’t celebrate spooky season with some new DLC. Not only that though, this new DLC marks the start of the one-year anniversary of Ghostrunner, with some more new stuff coming just around the corner. The Ghostrunner: Halloween pack is available now on Xbox, PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and Amazon Luna.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex deserves a re-appraisal. It’s a game that seems to be only viewed in comparison to the original trilogy. If you were to judge it on its individual merits, you’d find a game that whilst not great, is not completely irredeemable like some seem to imply. In fact, you’d find a game that actually really excels in some areas.
After Ghost Recon Breakpoint failed to ignite the franchise in the ways Ubisoft were looking for, it's time for a new strategic and tactical plan - to go free-to-play. And that is where Ghost Recon Frontline will come in.

If you were unable to play DOOM Eternal during its latest Series Four event – Hack to the Future – then worry no more as the unlockables are now available for purchase in a neat little bundle.
Whenever we hear that Wales Interactive are preparing to dish up another gaming experience, it's obvious that it'll be an FMV of sorts; a narrative driven tale which works as nothing more than an interactive movie. They are great at it too, having dropped the likes of Maid of Sker, Don't Knock Twice and more to many formats. Next up for Wales though is a deadly battle royale - kinda - as they confirm that Bloodshore will be released this November.
Sometimes it’s the really simple ideas that are the best. How does controlling a transparent sphere with a monkey suspended inside it grab you? Now imagine you have to cross various maze-like floors against the clock, which are floating miles high up above the ground. Sounds fun right? Indeed it was, and it was here that the now very well established arcade platform series of Super Monkey Ball was born.
