It’s fairly rare that older titles break records and continue to bring in new players. So, when a now 6 year old game rakes in huge numbers and becomes newsworthy so late in life – it’s an impressive feat. Rainbow Six Siege did exactly that this week hitting over 200,000 concurrent players on Steam. 201,503 …

Fallout 4’s Commonwealth in a wonderfully varied and enthralling place to explore and exist in, yet after a hundred-plus hours, the ruined cityscape of post-war Boston and the surrounding countryside soon start to become stale. Even an occasional weekend jaunt to the Glowing Sea does little to stem the tide of mundanity that encroaches after …

Let’s begin in a very straightforward way: Rocket League is awesome. Not “good” or “great”: it plays, looks and feels just awesome. In case you’ve been living inside a shelter (maybe Fallout’s) for the last two months, here’s a short recap: Rocket League is an action/arcade game in which you’re playing a kind of football by driving a rocket-powered remote-controlled …
Imagine a world with sprawling grasslands, lush forests, uninhabitable deserts, cliff edges that oversee an ocean that extends far out into a picturesque horizon. Now, imagine yourself on a trek to wander through these lands, alone or with your friends, to witness this beautifully crafted world, in a simple tale of how a group of …
Fallout Shelter is something of an anomaly when it comes to mobile games. It says a lot about the current marketplace when the first things that pop into my head when I hear ‘mobile games’ are ‘low quality’ and ‘money grabbing’. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the game, produced by Bethesda, has …
