By Darryn Bonthuys
June 6, 2019
in :  Features, Gaming, Reviews

Packed with features, more challenging than ever before thanks to its crafty new Neural AI and still a love letter to an adrenaline-charged sport, MotoGP 19 is an amazingly complete package that is just one spark short of being a motorcycle legend.

Batman 1989 thirty years later – How the Batsuit was designed to be iconic, intense and mythical

By Darryn Bonthuys

Dressing Michael Keaton up in a leotard and giving him circus trunks to wear on the outside would have ruined the illusion of the dark and Gothic world that Tim Burton was looking to create in his Batman film, forcing the director and his crew to come up with a more imaginative take on the idea of the caped crusader that didn’t just look good on camera, but also made sense within the context of that world.

Whispers of a machine review – Private AI

Clifftop Games’s point-and-click adventure flirts with big ideas, but comes off as a rather direct and self-contained detective yarn… and that’s quite all right.

Trials of Fire Interview -Early Access benefits, decisions that matter and building a world inside of a book

Imagine you’re in a fantasy universe that has already fallen to dark forces. The apocalypse has come, given a once vibrant land a proper spanking with its armies of chaos and everybody is downright miserable. You’d think that kicking off a game with a band of misfits who are all nursing some serious trauma wouldn’t be the best way to introduce audiences to a dark new fantasy universe, but you’d be wrong. Trials of Fire is that game, and it’s a refreshing twist on the usual formula of knocking around dungeons and possibly encountering dragons.

Unruly Heroes review – Journey West (by running east)

By Geoffrey Tim
June 4, 2019
in :  Features, Gaming, Reviews
4

The 16th century Chinese novel Journey to the West has been adapted to all manner of media over the years, but it’s a story that works particularly well in video games. There have been countless adaptions: from Capcom’s 1984 arcade game Son Son, to Ninja Theory’s Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (with many more between). The latest of the is …

Batman 1989 thirty years later – How Jack Nicholson’s casting as the Joker elevated the superhero film genre

By Darryn Bonthuys

in :  Entertainment, Features
5

Much like Superman had done back in 1978, 1989's Batman knew that it needed to cast a big name to give the project an air of legitimacy. Plenty of names may have been thrown into a casting hat, but from day one there was only one actor considered for the role: Jack Nicholson.

Here’s what makes Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s new purpose built engine exciting

The announcement of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare means that Infinity Ward won’t just have to deal with the pressure of living up to the benchmark of previous games, but they’ll also have to deliver on the demanding expectations of fans new and old. One way that they plan on doing this is via their brand new game engine, which …

Batman 1989 thirty years later – How Michael Keaton’s casting created a firestorm of controversy

Michael Keaton may be seen as the definitive Batman even 30 years after his feature film debut in Tim Burton's gothic masterpiece, but his casting before the movie even began rolling still made for one heck of a controversial decision at the time.

Team Sonic Racing review – Slipped stream

By Geoffrey Tim

While the game’s undoubtedly fun, especially in short bursts, there’s nothing about it that’s making me – or my family – want to play this more than we already have. Considering we spent weeks playing All Stars, I think it’s safe to say that things have gone backwards this time around.

Flamebait Friday Debate: Is pirating Telltale games okay now?

By Brad Lang
May 31, 2019
in :  Features, Opinion
22

Okay, so just to get this out the way right from the start, pirating games is a shitty thing to do. I used to laugh at those ads on old DVD’s that would equate stealing a movie to stealing a car, but as I’ve matured and become more ingrained in the culture of games and movies, pirating just sucks. People …

Consequence and ambiguous morality: How Modern Warfare has changed Call of Duty

By Nick Holden

Los Angeles, USA - The black van rumbled into the parking lot and stopped outside a building complex. The small group of us foreign representatives climbed out and looked up at the glass buildings surrounding us. With anticipation rising, I wondered which reflective window hid the creators of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, who were the primary source behind hours of my youth spent playing video games.

Conan Unconquered Review – They Are Barbarians

By Darryn Bonthuys
May 29, 2019
in :  Features, Gaming, Reviews
6

A scrappy and bloody brilliant strategy game that builds further upon the idea of survival strategy, Conan Unconquered doesn’t stray too far from its primary influence but it does offer plenty of unique substance that gives it its very own flavour. Now that, is what is best in life.
