When State of Decay was first released back in 2013 for the Xbox 360 as a Live Arcade game it caused a bit of a stir. For starters, it was a pretty large-scale game amongst the usually bite-sized Arcade efforts and it was also rather good.
In Australia the game garnered itself an instant ban due to portraying the positive effects of taking drugs (i.e. painkillers and stimulants). Continue reading State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition Xbox One review
Square Enix and Avalanche Studios have released the first gameplay reveal trailer for Just Cause 3, the second sequel in their outrageous smash-hit series of action-adventure games.
Debuting in in 2006, Just Cause and its 2010 sequel took physics-based gaming to explosive new heights, enabling players to unleash mass destruction in new and inventive ways. Darkly comical fun could be had tethering bad guys to gas bottles and launching them skywards. Continue reading Just Cause 3 gameplay reveal trailer released

I once heard it said that riding a motorcycle is as close as you can get to piloting a jet fighter without actually piloting a jet fighter.
And I tend to agree.
For a motorcyclist, there’s absolutely no comparison to be made between driving a car at breakneck speed and the absolute thrill of riding a motorbike at full throttle.
They are two very different animals.
Whereas a driver simply controls his car using pedals and a steering wheel, a motorcycle becomes an extension of its rider. The motorcyclist’s whole body influences the machine not just his hands and feet.
It’s a strange symbiotic relationship between man and machine that is very hard to explain, and even harder to translate into a video game. Continue reading Ride PlayStation 4 review
Yet another last-gen game gets a scrubbed-up new-gen re-release. This time it’s the turn of Capcom’s DmC: Devil May Cry.
Since 2001 we have been following the button-mashing adventures of Dante, a brash young man with a shock of white hair, and a thing about outlandish weapons, on a mission to avenge the death of his mother.
Four games and an anime series later and publishers, Capcom, decided to take the cult character in a new direction for the fifth outing handing development duties over to Brit outfit, Ninja Theory. Continue reading DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition PlayStation 4 review

EA Games and Bioware have given me just the excuse that I needed to return to their beautiful fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition. The game is, without a doubt, my favourite of 2014 and to be honest I’ve not played a better game since.
Jaws of Hakkon is the game’s first premium DLC pack adding a new story arc set within a new area to the south of Feralden called the Frostback Basin. Continue reading Dragon Age: Inquisition Jaws of Hakkon DLC PC review
