Winter has arrived in Mexico - and the world of Forza Horizon 5. And so the usual Weekly Challenges found in the Festival Playlist events have switched up.
It is supposed to be Spring outside my window, and yet the weather looks a lot more like Autumn. This is a handy link to the new season of Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges of Forza Horizon 5 - Series 31 Autumn.
Do video games cause violence? We shouldn't even be talking about this in 2019; it's a tired debunked argument. We talked about it in 1994 when Mortal Kombat's pixelated blood led to multiple controversies and even paved the way for the ESRB (the game rating system in the US). We talked about it in the 2000s when lawyer, Jack Thompson, repeatedly brought several lawsuits against GTA developer, Rockstar, claiming the series inspired violent crimes. And we're still talking about it now, in 2019.
It's a clever tactic used by publishers; there's no doubt about it. Using hype levels to convince gamers to purchase a more expensive version of a game...
Without further ado, here is my list of the best and worst Need For Speed games in the history of the world! I'll run worst to best, so if you want to know which is the best ever Need for Speed game, you’ll have to read on.
I’m not here to tell you about the variety of podcasts available. I’m here to tell you which podcasts you might like listening to when you’re finishing those last few side quests left over after you’re done with a game’s main story/campaign.
There's a reoccurring stereotype about the Xbox ecosystem. The stereotype that Xbox only appeals to people who like hyper-masculine shooters, sports games and racing games. While those games are great I thought I'd shine a light on a different breed of games. Games that focus on their stories.
It’s easy to make fun of fighting game revisions/expansions, but there’s no denying each entry bolstered the fighting roster and gameplay substantially, particularly with the swansong entry Ultra Street Fighter IV.
Can anyone even imagine one of the older Resident Evil titles without the relaxing save room theme? Or an early Silent hill title without Akira Yamaoka's disturbingly grating guitar tunes? With that in mind, we compiled a list of 5 best soundtracks for your listening pleasure.
Whether Playground brings back Fable or another studio does, instead of just drooling over the idea of Fable, let's take the time to go mad with speculation and talk about everything we want from the next entry in the franchise.
From the moment Dry Drowning was announced for a release on Xbox One in 2020, my inner investigator simply had to find out more about it. Waiting until 2020 seemed my only option, although I’d kill for the chance to check it out sooner. Fortunately, I’ve had the chance to sink a few hours into Dry Drowning on PC and, thankfully, no one has to die.
What if I were to tell you that the next batch of free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles coming our way thanks to the Games With Gold scheme for August 2019 may just be the best we've seen yet?
I was lucky enough to attend, and got to spend some quality time with Doom Eternal, id Software’s much anticipated sequel to the excellent 2016 release Doom. The demo was pretty generous and set around, and on, a besieged Mars and nearby space station.
SNK would then move on to the Atomiswave arcade board for a short while before making the jump to Taito’s then revolutionary Type X-2 Hardware, and it was on this platform where SNK were able to truly reinvent their graphics and art style in The King of Fighters XII. This reboot of sorts was joined by the likes of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and even Street Fighter IV on the very same arcade platform.
With recent releases such as Team Sonic Racing and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, now seems like the best time to count down our favourite kart racers, from the leftfield choices, to a definitive top three few would argue against. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight into it.
