Wildfire Is 2D Stealth, Only With Loads Of Fireballs
Wildfire is a 2D stealth game from a small four-man team, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the more interesting takes on sneaking around that I’ve seen in a while. There’s something about 2D stealth that makes me enjoy it more than its 3D cousins. The way the perspective plays out makes…

UncategorizedSkilled Dishonored Player Is A Relentless Murder Machine
There are few things in video games as hypnotic as watching a very good Dishonored player go about their business. In this clip, StealthGamerBR laughs at the notion of completing this mission the quiet/peaceful way, flying through the level like some white-hot invisible knife tornado. It’s a sight to behold.

UncategorizedReal-Life Batsuit Finished, Can Take A Beating
Industrial design student Jackson Gordon, who we saw in February putting his actual armoured batsuit through testing, hasnow finished. And it doesn’t just look the part, the thing actually works. While it’s not bullet-proof, the suit does show off its ability in this video to save you from loads of stuff less instantly hazardous, like…

UncategorizedI Love Games That Use Licensed Pop Music
One of my most enduring game memories is getting into a car in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and tearing down the road to Two Tribes on Wave 103. Pop is the perfect gaming accompaniment – why can’t we have more of it? Wave 103 is the greatest. It helps make Vice City into a…

UncategorizedThis Family Really Makes Me Want To Play Farming Simulator 2015
I was idly contemplating what playing a Farming Simulator game for the first time would be like, because Farming Simulator 2015 is coming out on consoles in May. This family playing it together just made me super excited about it. I’ve written about how I’ve tried to get into Farming Simulator 15 before, when they…

The Beauty Of The Game Instruction Manual
Kikopa Games has just released a game called Minkomora. It’s an exploratory game, a soft floaty little thing – but the best thing about it is the game manual. Kikopa Games is half Joni Kittaka and half Merritt Kopas – Merritt and I did a talk together at Indiecade East about our work recently, and…

UncategorizedA Drake-Themed Game Doesn’t Have To Be Terrible
I’ll admit it, I’ll admit it. I downloaded Runnin Through The 6, a free iOS endless runner made by Nico Uribe, because I’m a huge Drake fan. But it is rubbish. The reason I was so into the idea of a Drake game is that Drake’s a rapper who occupies a liminal space. He’s halfway…

UncategorizedGood Morning, Here Are The Terrible Raps From Trials Evolution
Yesterday I gave you the terrible yet awesome Mickey Rourke raps from Rogue Warrior to lull you through your Saturday. Sunday is a much worse deal. The intro raps from (very good) motorcycle balancer game Trials Evolution are a lot like if a drunk middle-aged beardy guy crashed your eighteenth birthday party thinking he was…

This Game About Being A Parent Is The Most Irritating Game I’ve Played
There aren’t any games that can give you the authentic experience of what it’s like to be a parent. But I am willing to reckon free game Jostle Parent is one of the best attempts at it. Jostle Parent is a little browser based game made by Pippin Barr, a developer whose work I am…

A Comic Where Joanna Dark And James Bond Meet
Me and my partner in crime Irene Koh (the artist on Batgirl Secret Origins #10 for DC) made a comic together about what would happen if the two heavyweights of the N64 Jo Dark and James Bond met. This game critique in comic form was originally published on my website, and funded by the subscribers…

UncategorizedOne Game That Actually Learns The Right Things From Movies
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (1992) has a part where you can play the initial titles or credits sequence at the beginning of the game. I find myself wishing that way more narrative-based games would do this adorable moviesque thing. I write a column over at Rock Paper Shotgun called ‘S.EXE’ which is…

The PC gamer in me is being TWANGED by the look of this lovely first person shooter/Revolution Management hybrid Bunker Punks, probably because it appears to be a bit Doom II but in roguelike form. Developers Ninja Robot Dinosaur say that this shoot-and-loot will have randomly generated levels so no one game will be the…
