Ever since the omni-shambles that was SimCity, we’ve yearned for a city building simulation that wasn’t a hot mess. We even hoped and dreamed that Maxis might salvage the wreckage of their game and actually deliver on the illusions / tricks we had been sold. Sadly, that will never be now that the famed developer […]
Our verdict on Cities: Skylines has been delivered, and overall we were impressed with Colossal Order’s take on the city building sim genre. However, to be a top mayor you need to know how to work the system, how to balance the books, and how not to have corpses everywhere (no, really. That can happen.) […]
While I apologise to our readership for what is probably going to be surmised as an “off-topic rant,” I also don’t apologise, because it is a topic close to my heart. You see, I’ve been agonising over it for weeks. Indecision has surrounded me and I’ve been unable to reach an internal consensus with the […]
After a few months of teasing the community with tidbits of information, all of which looked promising, MMORPG Crowfall has begun its Kickstarter campaign. The hype train for this one was already building up a fair bit of steam for a new project, largely thanks to the veteran developers leading the charge, but the fact […]
After putting the game through its paces at a press event last week, I spoke to Tim Jones, creative director at Rebellion Developments, about Zombie Army Trilogy. Topics include the community’s response to Sniper Elite 3, the improvements made for ZAT, the inclusion of new characters, and just how fiendish the new Horde mode will […]
I quite like co-op games. There’s something about working together with your friends and overcoming the challenges thrown at you that that just can’t be beat. Then again, I quite like showing that I’m better than everyone else. Thankfully, the upcoming Zombie Army Trilogy from Rebellion Developments looks to cover both of those aspects, something […]
I had been wandering through the Hinterlands – the first open zone of the game – for over 3 hours. The vast area filled with things to find, quests to complete, and places to discover had absolutely consumed me. As I ran around, Varric and Cassandra would bicker about the latter’s interrogation of the former, […]
Let’s begin with a bit of housekeeping – those of you that have bought or played Rocksmith 2014 Edition on PS3 or Xbox 360 will find an almost identical experience with the current-gen version. All the new modes and functionality used to improve the experience returns, as does the ability to access any song bought […]
A range of emotions flowed over me on Monday morning. You see, after an eight-year wait with a damn cliffhanger, the next instalment of The Longest Journey saga was finally here. The stories of April Ryan and Zoe Castillo, of Stark and Arcadia, of order and chaos, are ones that have resonated with me ever […]
[Article originally published for Dealspwn] When we head over to Gamescom each year it’s usually the done thing to go and check out all the games. After all, there’s more than a few of them there, and here at Dealspwn we do like our games. However, we were presented with an opportunity to chat with […]
