In focus, today is a project from ElectronicsHub titled Self-aware and wonders what consoles would look like if they had to render themselves.
10 screenshots from the gorgeous Ori and the Will of the Wisps
In Ori and the Will of the Wisps, you will encounter puzzles and towering enemies as you progress through an emotional and story-driven adventure.
Make us whole: A Dead Space retrospective
If a thousand realities exist, ours is probably the lone one where this game made it to consoles. The series died a protracted death and survival horror moved on… but should it have?
Out of the Mouth’s of Outlaws: A Retrospective on the Dialog of Rockstar Games
Few game developers craft dialog that compares to the distinct voices of the residents of New Austin, Los Santos, and Liberty City. Bandits wax poetic about the changing times, gang bangers expel the virtues of capitalism, and hitmen talk politics. It’s loud, crude, and it’s all Rockstar. Rockstar Games distinct writing style wasn’t developed overnight. […]
Destiny’s Rise of Iron and eSports
I’ve recently come back to Destiny. I started playing when the game launched, going from a pre-order gamer on the xBox 360 to stopping just after The Dark Below was released. My return to the game is timed with the late arrival of a ‘next gen’ console in the form of the xBox One S. […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan looks motion comic cool
The newly announced game from Activision reminds me very much of the motion comic style; with thick black lines, bold colours and careful movement. The Turtles go up against the Foot Clan as Shredder and Krang make their move against NYC. The official site doesn’t say much except to confirm Platinum Games’ role and that […]

I’m lapsed player but this is tempting me to return when The Taken King becomes available world-wide September 15, 2015. The challenge Bungie faces is that those still deep in Destiny are playing around three hours […]

It’s enough to make you want another Back to the Future film. In this advert for LEGO Dimensions, Christopher Lloyd takes on the role of Doc Brown once again as he delivered a mysterious box. LEGO Dimensions is due out in September and has a Dark Knight, a Wizard and a LEGO Master Builder head […]
Reef Social leak for Destiny
Matt Martin over at VG247 has a good write up and video of what the leaked screens for the next Destiny upgrade might mean. In summary it looks like the House of Wolves will bring a new social area to Destiny. As roleplayers, Geek Native knows what this means – we’ll have two “headquarters” for […]
Will we find winter warmth in The Dark Below?
The game is dividing opinion and I find myself agreeing with points made by both sides. Destiny is both remarkable and evolutionary step while falling disappointingly short of the heights it could have reached and prone to being repetitive. The proof is in the pudding, or should that be in the pizza, and I find […]
