No Man’s Sky Review: A Universe of Moments
No Man’s Sky, from the comparatively small team at Hello Games, is a game balancing on a tightrope. It is both indie and mainstream, confoundingly huge and yet incredibly personal. The game is straddling the lines of two of the biggest genres that exist in modern gaming, and not quite managing to exemplify either.
Metal Gear Survive: Konami Zombifies Metal Gear
Well this feels appropriate. Announced today, Konami presents Metal Gear Survive for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The game represents a turnaround for Konami, who had been very reticent to commit to any major games releases on the traditional consoles and were thought to be focusing heavily on Pachinko games. The lack of the “Solid” subtitle betrays the fact that series protagonist Snake will not be featuring, so check out your new heroes below.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?: Overwatch gets a new map!
Today Blizzard unveiled the newest content for Overwatch, a brand new map for all versions of the game on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Set in Germany, and therefore linked to Reinhardt’s storyline, the map is set to be properly unveiled at Gamescom. With Season One of competitive ending, and another set of patches coming shortly, now is the perfect time to hop back in and hopefully change the dynamic up on the whole game.
Final Fantasy XV: Final Release Date
Square Enix today confirmed the rumors swirling over the weekend, Final Fantasy XV has in fact been delayed till November 29th.
What’s Going on in the Week Ahead? Clumsy Robots, Sarcastic Cats and Professional Farming.
So what will be coming up the week starting Sunday 14th? Read on to find out!
Rome: Total War: Portable War
Announced today for iPad (and probably following to Android and Windows with enough response) Rome: Total War. The game, first released in 2004, has been adapted for use on modern tablets. Feral Interactive handle lots of positive Mac and Linux ports, so they’re taking the lead on this one. So with a new UI, you too can play the fourteen year old game wherever and whenever you’d like.
Luke Cage: Man of Steel
“Sometimes if you want Justice, You have to get it yourself.” [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytkjQvSk2VA&w=560&h=315] Well this looks fantastic. The first full trailer for Luke Cage has been unleashed by Marvel and Netflix, and it looks like it gives us a pretty good taste of what’s in store on September 30th.
