Mere hours before the big Microsoft announcements begin, Sony have given us our first fleeting glimpse of the new PS4. This fast and furious collection of blurred images may not at first seem to give much away, and that is why I have taken the liberty of slowing things down and capturing a few of the close up images of the new console. Yes, we now know its a black box. I leave the rest up to you to decide, Enjoy! You can [...]

Contributed by HelenBaby The Curiosity Cube will need no introduction to many of you. To those of you who don’t know, it is the first game/project by independent gaming company 22Cans. An addictive tap-athon, players earn virtual currency by tapping/breaking the tiny little cubes that, together, make up a massive cube. Players score extra for combo-chains which are generated through tapping the cubes accurately. But the ultimate goal of the project isn’t to be the one to amass the most [...]

As a child, one of my biggest dreams was that of Virtual Reality – or VR. Growing up watching the cast of Red Dwarf enter lifelike video game scenarios in Better Than Life and Gunmen of the Apocalypse, and later seeing The Matrix – where the world was a VR construction within which Neo was able to defy the laws of physics, it doesn’t take much imagination to see that a passionate gamer like myself could want to see similar technology [...]

Instead my gut reaction smacked of Capcom trying hard to capture the Western gaming market. Skyrim was building popularity, both Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls had attained a cult following, and that’s even before you factor in the universal success of the likes of World Of Warcraft. Little [...]

Contributed By HelenBaby So in March I launched a new website called 3DSBlessed with my friends Tareq (aka Cyburn) and Lucy (and we now have Cyrus on board too). Among the services we offer on there (such as news and review pertaining to the 3DS, as you might imagine) is an Events page where we have a list of upcoming UK-based gaming events. We find out about which events are going on when and where from various sources and word-of-mouth, [...]

Appynation are a developer-led game publisher who believe that video game developers should own 100% of the game that they create. I caught up with Andrew Smith from Appynation to discuss the company and how publishing games for mobile platforms has seen a boom in the Indie games market. How did the idea for a developer-led publisher like Appynation come about? It came from an observed need. The rise of digital platforms meant that developers were able to soar to [...]

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…Superman trying to take over the world? Even if you are not a big comic book fan, everyone knows that Superman’s main objective is to save anyone who is in danger and keep planet earth safe. This however is not the case for Injustice: Gods Among us, the latest fighting game to come from the Mortal Kombat creators; NetherRealm studios. After the Joker murders a pregnant Lois Lane and destroys Superman’s home city of [...]
