One of the common problems with co-op games is that few ever really make cooperation a necessity. Or when they do, it’s often rather clumsy and forced. The best co-op games always encourage teamwork gently and naturally. Super Dungeon Bros from Wired Productions aims to do just that. It’s a top-down dungeon crawler with rock…
Hearing that there’s a new XCOM game in development wasn’t a surprise, but it was welcome news regardless. As a gigantic fan of the original, I’m extremely hopeful and was very much looking forward to taking its appointment at this year’s E3. The demo presented at 2K’s booth, which since then has hit YouTube in its entirety,…
This year’s E3 could be considered one of the biggest showings for fan favorite franchises to make a return. In Mad Max‘s case, 2015 has been a fantastic year so far. Fury Road, the first film in the franchise in almost thirty years, has gotten an amazing reception that’s helped pump up interest for the upcoming game…
Out of the many games we got to see at E3 2015, the one I took the most for granted was LEGO Dimensions. Surely it would be yet another Skylanders-styled collectible figurine game, but this time with a LEGO license tied to it, right? To my surprise, LEGO Dimensions didn’t feel like just another rehash of the same…
Tucked away in one of the corners of the IndieCade booth was publisher Loot Interactive. The company’s been around for some time, toiling away at making items for the now defunct PlayStation Home, but they’ve just recently become a fully independent publisher. Their lineup this year consisted of ports of PlayStation 4 and Vita ports…
The Warhammer franchise was in force at E3 this year. Not only were there multiple games being shown coming in from Focus Interactive – which we’ll also be previewing – Creative Assembly, the makers of some of the finest and possibly the biggest real-time strategy games also had something to show. That something was Total…
I have to admit, so I’ll come out and just say it – I was never a big fan of Mirror’s Edge. Not even close to the level of adoration part of the public was in when it was released a few years ago. So much so that I wasn’t among the screaming crowd that was…
Worlds Adrift is a big departure from Bossa Studios’ recent works. Instead of comedy and unwieldy controls, Worlds Adrift is about exploration. Set in a world where floating islands dot the skies, you play as a nomad wandering the remnants of the world trying to figure out what happened that transformed the world into this…
Armello is a turn-based strategy game wherein you and three other players fight for control of the throne. It’s essentially a virtual tabletop game, as evident by its use of cards and dice and how they’re presented. It’s a bit formidable at first, what with all the systems and mechanics at play (especially as someone…
There has never been a time quite like my appointment with the fine folks at Frontier over at E3. It was so surprising that I had to come in for a second time just to play more of the game. But before we get into that, a little on what was actually shown during the…
