10 of the very best titles for PlayStation VR so far!

Does Outcast – Second Contact breathe new life into a cult classic or was this game better off left in the 90’s?

My completely opposite thoughts on Woofenstein II

Help, my hands are trapped inside a strange mechanical box and I can only get free if you click here now!
-
Could this be the game to cleanse the palate of the disappointing taste of EVE: Valkyrie, or will it make my space madness even worse?
-
Wolfenstein II is not only one of the best games of 2017, it’s also weirdly contemporary for a game set in an alternative, Nazi-run 1960s America.

Sonic returns in a warfare-themed 3D game that let’s players create their own avatar for the first time.

Telltale’s latest, but is it the greatest, or is it the lamest?

This week: cockroaches in a frickin’ PS4, Knight Terror, a troll-baiting Mario list, games we need on Switch and goodbye to Miiverse. AND COCKROACHES.
-
Numantia is a rare example of a hex-based war strategy game on consoles, in which plucky Celts face off against the Roman empire. Think Asterix without the laughs.

In space, no one can hear you apologize for accidentally firing your Gigaton Blast downwards and wiping out one of the cities you’re supposed to be protecting.

Observer is the latest game from Bloober Team, creators of the excellent horror game Layers of Fear. Layers of Fear would probably be best described as an extended tour through a heavily scripted, but very well-produced haunted house. It had amazing atmosphere, but very little interactivity, and was a very short experience. Still, it was a very enjoyable experience and…

Black – The Fall makes me realize that we really need to come up with a catchy new term to describe these games that follow in the footsteps of classic side-scrolling action-adventure-platformers like Out of This World (aka Another World) or Oddworld. Although if I had to compare it to any other single similar game,…
-
The Solus Project is probably best described as a survival/exploration/adventure game. You’re the last survivor of a crashed ship that was looking for a new habitable planet for humankind to relocate to, and you need to find a way to survive. Not only that, you need to communicate with your people so that you can get…

Well, this is a lovely surprise. Seemingly out of nowhere, Runic Games have come up with a title that’s easily one of the best of 2017. All I knew about Hob before I received the review code was that it was by the same developer as Torchlight. And after I booted up the game, I…

Not to be confused with other “Fall” games, like Black: The Fall, or apparently another completely unrelated game also called The Fall, this particular The Fall is more of a point and click adventure…sort of. The Fall is the fascinating story of a mysterious person future soldier who has crash landed on a mysterious planet. Mystery person seems to be injured…

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is finally here and if the internet is to be believed, it’s the latest Mass Effect: Andromeda-type controversy, because OMG TWO CHARACTER’S FACES LOOK WEIRD IN CUTSCENES! I admit, there really are precisely two characters who have weird faces in otherwise incredible looking cutscenes. I was so distraught when I gazed upon these two…

Wowwwww, where did this game come from? I had heard nice things about it, but it didn’t look or sound particularly amazing. It really just looks like Journey, but underwater, and while Journey also surprised me with it’s endearing simplicity, it’s got nothing on the sheer beauty of the world of Abzu. I grabbed this when it…

I have a confession to make. I’ve never played Night Trap before! It sure seems like something I’d have played, doesn’t it? I’ve always wanted to try it, but I never had a Sega CD and I just never got around to playing the later ports. On the plus side, this means I went into this…
