Review Pier Solar and the Great Architects (Xbox One)
Built with love
You've gotta hand it to the folks over at Watermelon. Taking on a project as ambitious as Pier Solar and the Great Architects is by no means an easy task. Originally conceived in 2004 as a small homebrew project known as Tavern RPG for the Sega Genesis, development swiftly transformed into something much bigger. As the team puts it,...
News The Witcher 3 Dev Says 'No' to Season Pass, Free DLC for Everyone
Free DLC Program giving back to gamers
CD Projekt Red, developer of upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, has a bone to pick with the gaming industry and it's one that most gamers will have no problem siding with: paid downloadable content and season passes. In an open letter on the game's official website, the developer has confirmed that 16 pieces of...
Review The Evil Within (Xbox One)
Survival horror revival
The Evil Within is the best Resident Evil 4 imitation to date, and in no way is that a bad thing. The similarities are nearly endless — zombie-like creatures, chainsaw-wielding maniacs — but the most common thread is that both games are created by survival horror mastermind, Shinji Mikami. With the bar raised so high, you...
Review Watch_Dogs: Bad Blood (Xbox One)
Teaching an old dog new tricks
It should come as no surprise, but Watch Dogs’ first piece of single player DLC is essentially more Watch Dogs. That means if you enjoyed cruising around the beautiful virtual Chicago hacking every little thing in sight, then you’ll know exactly what to expect out of Bad Blood. There are times when it treads that...
Review Stick it To The Man (Xbox One)
Where the sun don't shine
You know you have a great game on your hands when you start a new game immediately after the end credits have rolled. That’s exactly what happened after experiencing the weirdness and strangeness of Stick it To The Man, the latest from Swedish developer Zoink! Games. The weird and the strange is what makes Stick it To The...
Into the darkness
Outlast is a game you can brag to your friends about when finished. It’s also a survival horror adventure that probably shouldn’t be played by those with weak hearts. The tension scales so sporadically that even a half-hour session can leave you exhausted. But rather more importantly, Outlast is a finely crafted, well-paced...
News Games With Gold Gets Refreshed Today With Two Free Games
Let's fight, shall we?
What's better than getting a free game? TWO free games, of course! Microsoft has refreshed Games With Gold on Xbox 360 today, replacing the punishing and challenging Dark Souls with two brawlers — Charlie Murder and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition. Charlie Murder is a 4 player beat-em-up with a punk rock aesthetic,...
Connected chaos
To be blunt, Watch Dogs’ lead anti-hero Aiden Pearce is a straight up smartphone addict. For most of the game, Aiden can barely take his eyes away from his device. And who can blame him really, especially with all the cool things one can do? No, he isn’t checking to see what’s trending on Twitter or playing a round of Candy...
News Games With Gold On Xbox One Has Officially Begun
Don't pass these up
Xbox 360 gamers have been enjoying their two free games every month courtesy of Microsoft's Games With Gold program ever since it launched a year ago. As of today, that program has now extended to Xbox One. As previously reported, Halo: Spartan Assault and Max: The Curse of Brotherhood can be downloaded free of charge as long as...
Rumour Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Collection Spotted for Xbox One, PS4
Modern-gen Warfare
The recent trend of porting last generation games to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 doesn't look to be ending anytime soon. If a recent image from Reddit is to be believed, all three Modern Warefare games will be getting the high resolution treatment on November 25th. The unconfirmed release date means this collection will...
Review Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Xbox One)
There and back again
When Square Enix announced late last year that an updated version of the Tomb Raider reboot would be “re-built specifically for next-gen consoles,” we couldn’t help but scoff. For a game that we already called “adrenaline-filled” and “aesthetically superb,” — let alone only being on the market for 10 months —...
Review The LEGO Movie Videogame (Xbox One)
Everything is (not so) awesome
The LEGO Movie Videogame is already the second LEGO game to be released on the next generation of consoles, and with the upcoming awkwardly-titled LEGO The Hobbit just on the horizon, this series has no intention of letting up. Based off the excellent movie, The LEGO Movie Videogame takes the honours of being one of...
Review Max: The Curse of Brotherhood (Xbox One)
Artful or awful?
Let’s get this out of the way first: prepare to die a lot in Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. Press Play’s latest puzzle platformer will test your patience with its “trial-and-error” approach and finicky controls — which often led to Max plunging to his death more times than we could count. With that being said, Max’s...
News Expect Multiplayer and Party Chat Improvements in March Xbox One Update
Coming right before Titanfall launch
As much as we love our fancy new Xbox One's, it's clear that there are some areas that can be improved upon— mostly software related. Thankfully, a major update in March will help improve some of the nitpicks people have been complaining about surrounding multiplayer and party chat. Releasing sometime before...
Psi-what?
You can safely bet from the cover art and screenshots to Girl Fight what sort of game you're getting yourself in to. Kung Fu Factory shows no shame in taking what gamers secretly wanted in Dead or Alive all along: remove all of the male fighters and put a strong emphasis on beautiful, digital vixens with odd fashion senses and a refusal to...
Review Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (Xbox 360)
Brotherly Love
The very definition of a “video game” has changed in recent years – evolved even – from the uprise and mass acceptance of indie development. We're seeing developers use video games as a new medium to tell evocative and intelligent narratives without normal, traditional gaming conventions. That exact sentiment can easily be...
Doom and gloom or a perfect storm?
Storm tries so desperately hard to be that soothing, relaxing gameplay experience. Something that can be picked up and played at someone's leisure after a stressful day at work. On paper, Storm has the makings of an indie hit and the folks at IndiePub do convey some rather interesting ideas. Unfortunately,...
News New Online Petition Wants Controversial Xbox One Policies To Return
A full 360?
Here we go. Back and forth and back and forth. A discovered petition over at change.org is hoping to gain enough supporters for Microsoft to take notice and to reinstate the original policies the Xbox One had before reversing them last month. Over 1,000 people have backed the petition after reading the paragraph that greets those who...
News Your Xbox Live Gold Membership Will Transfer to Xbox One
You won't have to buy a second membership
In case you are wondering whether your current Xbox Live Gold membership can be transferred from your Xbox 360 to the new Xbox One, you can now breathe a sigh of relief because yes, it will. Speaking with the folks at Polygon, Microsoft confirmed that Xbox One owners won't have to cough up the cash for a...
