There has been a lot of rumours surrounding Microsoft’s next foray into the console market and, as it turns out, not many of them were true. But the dust has settled and Microsoft has officially pulled the curtain back on the Xbox One. Read More »
The surface remains an uninhabitable, scarred monstrosity; a testament to the scary power at man’s fingertips. The air is a toxic cocktail of radiation and despair, as the terrain is tread only by the brave and bold, as well as the creatures left above to be warped by the harsh vicissitudes of nuclear fallout. Sadly, Moscow’s body died long ago, and in Metro: Last Light, the spirit has begun to rot also. Read More »
While I was distracted registering an online account for Defiance, I failed to recognise the signs. Tells like a licensed tie-in, a nothing sci-fi series and Grant Bowler were all glanced over with rose-coloured glasses as I perused the cover art, all while waiting for patch after patch to download and install.

Fortunately, the Nagasaki and Hiroshima injustices are the only recorded nuclear detonations in the history of human warfare. A streak North Korea are keen to go all combo-breaker on, having just vowed to light Washington up like a Christmas tree. So, let’s see, can I list some of gaming’s most spectacular mushroom clouds before Korea manage to see a missile over the ocean? Okay, go. Read More »
It’s hard not to think back to Isaac’s wide-eyed terror when, as a simple blue-collared systems engineer, he went to war within his own mind. As powerful, unearthed artifacts introduced doubt, paranoia and apparitions to accompany his already present fear toward those that dwelled within the Ishimura’s derelict hull. Two sequels later, Isaac is hardly the same man. Read More »
