  • How Do You Solve A Problem Like Virginia?

    Another great article from guest author Duncan Parsons. Read on for his thoughts on Virginia, and find out how you can reach him at the end! Be warned, this article contains spoilers, which we have marked up later in the piece. I played through Virginia a few days ago....
  • A Serious Skill Shortage

    Unless you are 12 years old, have no actual responsibilities and no desire to go outside – you will have experienced this phenomenon. Marathon runners refer to “The Wall” as a point during the race, ¾’s of the way through, where your body has used all its energy and...
  • Fighting to The Top

    I spent the last weekend sulking about not receiving a Gwent Beta Code when everyone else at Out of Lives did. As you do. Fortunately, salvation for me came in the form of a brand-new game: Dragonball XenoVerse 2.   I’m a big fan of the Dragonball franchise; it...
  • Court Them if You Dare!

    You know what I’m now realising? Dating and romancing someone is super-duper easy in real life. Hear me out. After my experiences with Stardew Valley, which was originally released in February 2016, it’s become clear that trying to woo a man/woman in-game is like trying to rob a bank...

    This week it was announced that Mafia would not be getting any pre-release copies for review ahead of its October 7th release date, but with no reason cited we were wondering if this embargo would leave us in a situation where the game has not lived up to standards expected,...
  • Hands On With The Nosulus Rift & South Park: The Fractured But Whole

    This weekend saw EGX return to Birmingham and with it came a slew of new games for us to get our grubby mitts on. My most anticipated of which being the follow up to 2014’s excellent RPG ‘South Park: The Stick Of Truth’. The promising sequel has been pushed back...
  • The Interactive Theatre of Hitman

    Io-interactive’s latest Hitman title, released episodically over this year for reasons, is expertly designed to revolve around repetition. Through playing its massive, open levels over and over again, you’ll not just have got your money’s worth, but be so good at murder you’ll be able to do it in...
