One of the most successful Japanese hack-and-slash franchises in history, Devil May Cry is back with its latest installment, Devil May Cry 5. Known for its style-focused combat and cutting edge graphics, the DMC series has long been a staple of console gaming. Can its most recent title find success in a gaming market that has largely moved away from the genre? Let’s take a closer look!

A number of people are dropped on an island with varying terrain that is strewn with a random assortment of weapons. Their goal is simple – be the last one alive. What comes to mind when you read this? I highly doubt that many of you are picturing a book released in Japan 20 years ago. Perhaps there are few of us left who remember the iconic novel, Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru in the original Japanese version), published back in…

For a game that received so much hype upon its release, with a large number of big-name streamers playing it, we have heard very little about World War 3 in the months following. I decided to take a follow-up look at the game to see the state of play in 2019. Can it shake the pre-launch hype curse, or will it be just another victim of over-excitement and under-performance? Let’s take a look!

Our friends at PDP have one of the most impressive and underrated lineups of accessories in the entire world of gaming. Seriously, I had hardly even heard of PDP before I began reviewing their products and now I frequently peruse their site looking for any new and exciting products. So, when I got the opportunity to review their new line of Level 50 stereo headsets, I could hardly wait to set them up and start playing!

The latest from HandyGames is a remastered version of their medieval city-builder; Townsmen: A Kingdom Rebuilt. This title aims to completely overhaul the original with a port to PC. The original game existed as a freemium game for mobile devices, and as we know, there are many games who have attempted to leave mobile platforms for PC or console and have failed miserably. Will this wildly successful app make the transition to PC smoothly and manage to win over ...

Google is moving into the video game marketplace, but not necessarily in a way gamers might expect. During the Google keynote at GDC, the tech company unveiled their new video game streaming service, Stadia. Stadia is the future of gaming, and how well it works is yet to be seen, but the idea is fascinating!

In an age of early access games and update-driven releases, it is a rarity indeed to find a game that, upon release, truly feels like a finished product. Too often are developers pressured into pushing their games out too quickly, leading to outrage from the community and an overall poor experience. The lesson to be learned here is that quality cannot be rushed, and that developers need to remind gamers of this fact and not allow themselves to make compromises ...

There are a LOT of casino sites out there. I mean, just an outrageous number. In the 21st century, online casinos are a thriving market, and there is no shortage of companies looking for your business. With the multitude of options out there, it can be quite difficult to discern which are the best, or even which are legitimate. This can be a daunting prospect, especially since you have to trust these sites with your financial information. In their efforts…

Right from the get-go, looking at the cover graphics of Ubisoft’s Trials Rising, you can make a good guess of what you are going to see when you first fire this game up. Cool graphics, lots of loops, jumps and racing adventure. As this game comes from a publisher which has given us epics like the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed series, I had high expectations right out of the gate. Yes, the opening cinematic and music told me there was fun and adventure to come – ...

Striving to dominate the MMO console-shooter world, EA's newest title, Anthem, has landed. Anthem puts you in the driver's seat of 'Iron Man' style mech suits that you fly around in to dispatch hordes of enemies. However, as tends to happen when a game receives an abundance of pre-release hype (did you too receive dozens of ads on Twitch and YouTube for this game? I sure did!), the community has quickly revolted on Anthem and its creators. This begs the ...
