    Features open world component

    Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 developer MercurySteam’s clearly been spending too much time with Hideo Kojima.

    Could you put your life on the line?

    Sony’s pumped out some pretty poor commercials over the course of the PlayStation 3's lifespan, but we quite like the premise behind this live action advertisement for The Last of Us. Sure, the execution is a little bit cheesy, but we reckon that it conveys the themes of the title well. After all, survival in a...

    Who are you again?

    A game that has ironically slipped under the radar for many, Remember Me is something of a risk for Capcom, a brand new IP that borrows gameplay elements from numerous popular titles, and weaves them together within a futuristic world that’s perhaps not too far from our own reality.
