Chasm 1

Having written 1 article for Beta Rater I decided to claim to be a real journalist and contacted Discord Games after seeing them on Indie Statik. The Indie Statik video showed a sweet little platformer that promised Diablo elements and I knew I had to

Energy drinks are plentiful in a gamers life. Used to stay awake and aware during a gaming marathon or just for the heck of it. Few are effective . Most taste like trash. Don’t waste your valuable cash you could use towards Steam sales. Let

Ramble Reviews are not supposed to be score driven, they are a stumbling, disjointed and thought lead overview of a game. They are more opinion piece than purchasing advice and should be taken with the bias and hatred towards all ZX Spectrum games the 1up-Island

Neverwinterbeta

With Neverwinter Nights being a game I was never overly fond of, I wasn’t too excited about the new Neverwinter beta, but I dove right in and gave it my best shot. It was a pleasant Sunday afternoon, I was talking to my girlfriend over

Looks like the Princess didn’t get kidnapped this time! During Nintendo’s Wii U live event we were given some new details on New Super Mario Bros. U. One being a new Challenge Mode and another being Boost Rush Mode. Challenge mode is objective based such

ZombiU

This game looks like it gets better and better with more trailers that I see. Survival is what it’s all about in this trailer. That and showcasing more of what the Wii U Gamepad is used for. Let’s just hope we don’t all become Zombies.

ZombiU

Project P100

  Project P-100….How do I explain a game that cannot be explained? I walked up to the Project P-100 Wii U booth during PAX Prime 2012 ready to play this game. After watching a few people be confused and bewildered, I too was finally able

CryEngine 3 This looks pretty and all but what about the AI? We seem to only further games by adding more bloom and pixels per square inch but how about we excel in creating a world full of intelligent computer control characters? Most of the
