Sony blesses PC owners with another of its former PlayStation exclusives, the follow-up to Insomniac’s acclaimed web-slinging Spider-Man game, Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales.
Back in 2018 the PlayStation 4 game, Marvel’s Spider-Man finally allowed me to live a childhood dream of swinging around New York City as The Amazing Spider-Man. Other games had come close like Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man (2005), but most since those two titles just never managed to capture the thrill of swinging on a web across the Manhattan skyline.

Homeseek is a real-time strategy game from developer Traptics that has more than a tinge of Fallout about it. We were given preview access to the upcoming game scheduled to release sometime later this year. Continue reading Homeseek PC preview→
For Need for Speed Unbound EA Games and UK studio Criterion have mixed cel-shaded animation and a photoreal environment to give the latest instalment of the franchise a unique look.
Back in the day, Criterion single-handedly revitalised arcade console racing with their Burnout games. Dramatic takedowns and bone-crushing slow-motion crashes made playing the games exhilarating. Continue reading Need for Speed Unbound PlayStation 5 review→

Striking Distance Studios, led by Dead Space veteran Glen Schofield, and PUBG’s Krafton invite players to the fourth Galilean moon of Jupiter to experience the survival horror game, The Callisto Protocol.
The premise is simple enough. Whilst ferrying an unknown cargo between the Jovian moons of Europa and Callisto the space freighter UJC Charon is attacked by terrorists. After crashing on Callisto’s surface, the surviving pilot, Jacob Lee, is apparently mistaken for one of the terrorists and finds himself locked up in the moon’s Black Iron Prison. Then everything goes to shit. Continue reading The Callisto Protocol Xbox Series X|S review→
Firaxis, master of the turn-based strategy game refocuses its efforts away from civilisations and alien invasions and instead towards the Marvel Universe with Marvel’s Midnight Suns.
Adapting Marvel Comics to other media is fraught with risk. Decades of complex, and often contradictory, continuity makes for quite the creative minefield. Whilst everything Marvel Studios touches in the cinema turns to gold; others have not fared so well when it comes to video games. Continue reading Marvel’s Midnight Suns PC review→
Supermassive Games rounds off the first season of The Dark Pictures Anthology with The Devil in Me, a sinister tale set in a hotel based on the crimes of America’s first serial killer.
Like an interactive TV show, season one of The Dark Pictures Anthology has had us exploring a creepy ghost ship, revisiting the witch trials, and running from vampires in a subterranean vault. Each bite-sized game has players guiding characters and interacting with an ensemble cast trying to get them all out alive. Decisions not only affect each character’s fate but also how they react to one another. The result is an edge-of-seat experience that is different with every playthrough.
