"Stop praying. This is pathetic." Asura’s Wrath doesn't so much defy description as demand a lengthy one: The game, produced by CyberConnect2 (best known for the .hack and Naruto series’ as well as Solatorobo on the DS and Silent Bomber on the original PlayStation), is a pseudo-episodic Hindu/Buddhist cosmology and anime inspired revenge romp comprising of arena brawler, on-rails shooter and extended QTE sections!

2012/10/14

"Fascinating! I never suspected such things could be." In 1996 Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington founded Valve Corporation. Employing a team plucked from the cream of the Quake mod scene, they began work on a horror fps (inspired by Stephen King’s novel, The Mist) known as Quiver, along with a darker, more cerebral title (inspired by Cyan Worlds’ game, Myst), Prospero. Some way into development the two teams merged, taking what they had learned from their respective projects and built a single game

Mirror’s Edge – Cane and Rinse No.51

2012/10/07

It's still alive, and cannot apologise: Mirror's Edge We mantle into Volume Two by reflecting on the strange time of 2008, when Electronic Arts were championing new ideas, first-person shooters didn't need guns and freerunning was relatively new to videogames. How was erstwhile Battlefield developer Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment's experiment received? Should they have dropped guns altogether? Will they be allowed to flex the 'C' in their name again in a sequel? Thoughts on these

2012/09/09

We've finally reached the end (for now?) of our Metal Gear series retrospective. In the epic conclusion to our six part Metal Gear 25th Anniversary series Leon, Tony and Jay review 2008’s spectacular but polarising Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. A prematurely ageing Snake is sent by the UN to the war-torn Middle East in pursuit of Liquid who still plans to enslave the world. Cameos, Easter eggs, fan-service and inordinately long cut-scenes abound in what to some is Kojima's creative apex

Darksiders – Cane and Rinse No.48

2012/09/02

"You can look me in the eye when I kill you." Melding the comic book stylings of Joe Madureira with Hebrew mythology while lifting structure and mechanics wholesale from other popular franchises, Vigil’s assured 2010 debut Darksiders caught reviewers and gamers by surprise as the sleeper hit of the year. Going on to sell North of a million copies, a sequel would follow with Darksiders’ lead character War supplanted by one of his equestrian brothers, Death in 2012. Leon, Tony, Darren Forman and Karl

Superbrothers: A tale of Sword & Sworcery, eternally retold Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is a collaboration between designer Craig Adams, developer Capybara and musician Jim Guthrie. A ‘none more indie’, multiple high-concept piece which questions certain conventions of game design while paying homage to others. Released first in 2011 for iOS devices, this oblique title intrigues and charms many, but alienates others. Leon, Tony, James and Joshua discuss the game in full and there's also a

2012/08/19

“I don’t know about angels, but it’s fear that gives men wings.” Leon, Tony, James and Karl slo-mo dive - sideways - into their recording seats and review Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment’s second game, 2001’s Max Payne (published by 3D Realms/Rockstar). Mashing up film noir, Norse mythology, Hong Kong action movies and the bullet time made famous by The Wachowskis' Matrix, Max Payne was one of the most flashy, desirable, and resource-hungry games of the year. In 2002 Remedy sold all

"Don't get your hopes up... Not all humans... look as good as me!" Leon, Tony, Darren Gargette and Josh review Nintendo Software Planning and Development's (so far) trilogy of Rhythm Heaven/Paradise/Tengoku games for Game Boy Advance, DS and Wii. The rhythm action genre was born, to all intents and purposes, in 1996 with NanaOn-Sha’s delightful Parappa the Rapper. The so-called BeMani craze evolved with increasingly elaborate mechanics and peripherals, however in 2006 Nintendo took the genre 'back

2012/07/29

Cute and fluffy: that's the team talking Kirby's Epic Yarn. Leon, Tony, Darren Gargette and James get cute with Kirby's Epic Yarn. HAL Laboratories’ pink blob without attitude (unless you regard some of the US box art as canon) Kirby has starred in some twenty Nintendo games over the past two decades. 2010’s Epic Yarn (2011 in Europe, much to our chagrin) was developed by Good-Feel for HAL/Nintendo - a team previously best known for their educational titles on DS along with 2008’s moderately
