I’m not going to blame you if you haven’t paid much attention to Insomniac’s brand spanking new multiplatform IP, Fuse. After first being revealed under the title ‘Overstrike’ way back at E3 2011, and then becoming rebranded in Augst 2012 as Fuse, the game has kept a fairly low profile. Upon its reveal, I almost immediately classed it as “another generic third person shooter I’ll never play”. Read More »
Star Trek betrayed the benefit of the doubt I extended to it by getting worse level by level, which in itself is a marvel. After each introduction to every inane segment, my initial thought was “This just has to be the worst part of this game. There’s no way it can go downhill from here.” 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.

For the first time since The Sprawl, I was kind of afraid. It didn’t quite measure up to the “darkest chapter of the franchise” tagline EA had been parading about, but it makes the handful of hours preceding it look like a basket of kittens. 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 »
Insomniac Games has certainly been through some drama with Fuse. Originally being unveiled as Overstrike, only to change its name and core mechanics soon after, it’s been a pretty eventful ride for all to watch. But now with the release of Fuse finally drawing near, there was no better time to sit with the game’s Creative Director, Brian Allgeier and chat about all things Insomniac, game design and just what he thinks about becoming first-party.

Booting up Hybrid for the first time is certainly an eyebrow raising experience. It’s almost like being lost in the woods, ready to be found and viciously mauled by a bear, only to stumble upon a leprechaun instead. Except there are no leprechauns in Hybrid, but that’s beside the point. Read More »
If there’s one genre gamers don’t have a shortage of, it’s military shooters. With as many yearly releases as there are wince worthy Adam Sandler films, the biggest concern for publishers and developers alike is that you blink and miss their latest effort. Yager Development’s Spec Ops: The Line does not have that issue. Read More »
