Serious Sam 4
We live in a weird time. Maybe it’s always been weird, I can’t remember now. But I know that a lot of people are disappointed with… stuff. Environmental stuff, political stuff. Social stuff. I’ve noticed this effect not only on us consumers but also the creators of the world as well. You can tell they are disappointed with the times we live in because they smear it on the stories and t...
All aboard the Monster Train!
I’m going to be honest: I thought Monster Train wasn’t going to be very good. Weird trailer, and a silly name. “Monster Train” sounds like a useless toy one of those infomercials would be trying to sell during morning kids cartoons. *energetic infomercial voice* Collect monsters and fill your train! Stop heaven from destroying the last fire in hell! Five different factions...
Mavericks: Proving Grounds’ Developer Goes Under
It is with much sadness that I must announce the passing of Automation games, the makers of Deceit, and also the 1000-player battle royale game Mavericks: Proving Grounds. It was announced yesterday that they have been placed under administration for financial reasons. You can read the official announcement here. Apparently Deceit has already been bought by another developer, which is good news fo...
A Hat in Time is well worth your time
I’ve been wanting to play this game since before it came out, but I never got around to buying it. Then Di, my wonderful fellow PMGer, bought it for me for Christmas! And so I binged that bad boy over the next couple of days. Wow, it was a rollercoaster. A Hat in Time is obviously a kid’s game. It looks like a kid’s game, it sounds like a kid’s game, it plays like a kidR...
Survisland – The hardest survival game in 2018, they say
Imagine.. You wake up lying on a beach on a deserted island. All you have is a pair of jeans and a tshirt. Fortunately the sun is shining, but you see dark clouds looming. You’re hungry and night is approaching. You check your vitals, everything seems okay, but you’re tired. You see a coconut palm, and some banana trees. You don’t have the energy to climb a tree. You look around&...
SCUM
SCUM – a new survival game is coming to an internetz near you. Oh.. Emm.. Geeeeeee. What is SCUM? Well, the developer says: The world’s unquenchable need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as entertainment behemoth TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM. This new season moves the contest from the rugged, enclosed indoor arenas to the lush forests, rolling f...
The Making of Mavericks: Proving Grounds
Mavericks is a new and interesting looking battle royale-type game that is coming soon to a PC near you. I recently wrote an article for PMG with some information about how things are supposed to look. In that info was a suggestion that there would be a closed beta happening this month, which I had hoped to get access to. Whelp… bad news. There won’t be a closed beta, or an open beta, ...
New Trailer for No Man’s Sky NEXT Has Landed!
Well, it’s finally happened. Hello Games released their trailer for “NEXT” their “Massive new update” (according to the new Xbox game cover). Before you go – ahhh meh – No Man’s Lie, etc, have a look at this trailer (which appears to be actual server gameplay): Some of the changes they have announced follow. Be sure, this is not the No Man’s Sky people have been playing for 2 years. It bears...
LEGO Incredibles
Nothing will ever beat the experience that was the first LEGO Star Wars game. That’s why, though still good, every other LEGO game succeeding it was still somehow slightly disappointing. LEGO Incredibles is the same, however I reckon it comes the closest to the glory of LEGO Star Wars. The one thing I appreciated the most about LEGO Incredibles, was how they structured the story. All LEGO ga...
Far Cry 5
Far Cry 5 opens with a helicopter ride and an expositional spiel about how Joseph Seed, The Father, has taken over Hope County. A few US Marshalls have been sent in to arrest him, including you, the Rookie. A beginning so basic and (if I had to admit) a bit boring, meant things weren’t boding well for Far Cry 5. But then the helicopter landed. Queue an intense walk through a cultist camp com...
Why DotA 2 Eats N00bs for Breakfast
In considering a review for one of the most highly-successful (and possibly most hated) games in MOBA history, I scrapped that idea. Almost every gamer already has an opinion of DotA 2. And to be fair, no one is really wrong. Ask any gamer what DotA is and you’ll usually get one of the following responses: 1) “I tried it for awhile and just couldn’t get into it.” 2) “...
There’s Poop in My Soup Review
It’s got an intriguing title but is a turdfest enough to make a good game? That’s what I’m about to find out as I load it up, making sure that I’m offline on Steam to avoid snide messages from my gaming friends. The game is simple – so simple in fact that the developers don’t even bother telling you what the controls are before launching you into the first level...
