PAX East 2014: Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake Hands-On Preview

When I was preparing for PAX East a few weeks ago and deciding what games I would want to cover I received an e-mail from Cartoon Network Games listing the various releases they would be displaying. My eyes immediately jumped to Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake which I knew absolutely nothing about except that the name made me smile. Well, I can happily report that sometimes you can judge a game by its title, as Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is one of the most charming video...

Podcast – This Game is Broken Episode 17

Hohokum! In this strange episode Barry and Chris are joined By James Redmond and we talk about games. OK, so it’s maybe not that strange. You may notice a bit of weird editing at the end.

Review: Hitman GO – GO Buy This Game

Hitman is known notoriously for unforgiving stealth combat that punishes the most brazen of players until they either learn how to be properly quiet in their approach or just say “eff it” and go guns blazing. How, then, would you ever expect a game with a formula like this to translate to mobile? Square Enix Montreal has taken this question to heart, and decided to offer us a stern answer: welcome Hitman GO. GO is not your usual Hitman game. Players control Agent...

Now, two years later fans will get to revisit the brutally violent world that Dennaton has created.

PAX East 2014: Hands on with Wolfenstein: The New Order – Zukünftige Spiel des Jahres

It’s 7 at night and the cold, windy streets of Downtown south Boston are unusually empty. While I’d been used to seeing blue behemoth-clad lanyards dangling around everyone’s neck, this area was different… it was more, normal. Not a single gamer was in site as LevelSave editor Matt Curione and I strolled in to Boston’s Royale Nightclub for Neumond Recording’s Pop Muzik Showcase. Something is weird about this place, though; as we enter the room our ears fill with...

Review: Secrets of Rætikon – A new angle on acute bird watching

While drafting this review I continually hit a wall in the form of the question “How do you review a game that is all about secrets?” Secrets, by their nature, are supposed to be hidden. So by explaining why Secrets of Rætikon is good I could easily ruin it. With that in mind, I have attempted to pen this review in a such a way as to withhold the secrets while also exploring the Secrets of Rætikon. Secrets of Rætikon places you in control of a man-bird-thing. You are...
