A Way Out Review – Witnessing Gaming Evolution

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when I saw A Way Out at E3 2017. Not only did it look amazing with its appealing story-line, but also because I could actually FINALLY play a game with another physical person…. on…the…same…sofa! I haven’t done this properly since the Left 4 Dead series, but being able to play an actual story-based game with someone in the same room was, without question, a must-buy for me. A Way Out is a new co-op adventure from the director of the critically acclaimed Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Josef Fares (Yes, the Fuck the Oscars guy, my hero!) It’s developed by Hazelight Studios and published by Electronic Arts under their EA Originals program, but to make it clear, EA do not profit at all from this game. All proceeds go to the studio, who also retain ...

We Sing Pop! by THQ Nordic and Le Cortex is the latest karaoke game in the We Sing series to come to PS4 and Xbox One and features "the hottest sounds from the world's biggest artists", so long as you are in agreement with the track listing.  Available as either a stand alone game singing into your smart phone or as a bundle with 2 gold topped microphones, let the drunken sing offs commence!

AereA Review – Musical Hit or Musical Tragedy?

AereA is a music themed action RPG (ARPG) developed by Triangle Studios and published by SOEDESCO.  Presented in 4K resolution, you are to play as one of the Great Maestro Guido's disciples as you explore the mysterious floating island of Aezir.  Your quest? to find 9 primordial instruments in order to restore balance and peace to the world. With a fair amount of ARPGs currently currently on the market such as Victor Vran and Super Dungeon Bros, I was wondering how AereA would squeeze itself into the genre and set it apart from the others. Gameplay The intro kicks in and a simple menu appears set to a background containing Aezir broken into a number of smaller islands and a floating airship.  Selecting "start game" I embark on choosing my save slot and selecting my character. ...
