Gears of War isn't just about partaking in cover shooting and beating back the swarm. It's about immersing yourself into the entire universe. And away from the games, what better way of doing that than by spending time with the written form? After seeing Titan Books and Jason M.

Once more we just had to find out more, so we sat down with Jason in order to learn a little more about the thought processes involved in creating the book.

Hitman Go took the core gameplay focus of Hitman - that of killing specific targets either through imaginative ‘accidents’ or stealthily sneaking up behind them – and put it into a board game situation. Hold up, I hear you say, how does that work?
When The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time hit the gaming market, it no doubt made a cultural impact which ripples through the gaming scene to this very day. Zelda, to some, is the pinnacle of gaming and the entry point to many enthusiasts. Building upon that idea was no doubt a very hard task that would ultimately be built around a lot of hype. Coming off the heat of Ocarina of Time was the broodier, big brother known as Majora’s Mask. It was a sequel that had impossible odds to contend with, but emerged victorious in paving its way.

Luckily, it's intriguing enough for scared old me to sink hours into it.
