The Mad Max video game was developed by the same studio that brought us the Just Cause franchise - Avalanche Studios. After becoming obsessed with the movie, I just had to see if the game was on par. The game starts with Max fighting for his life - and car; unfortunately, the intro scene isn't playable at all and it leaves you a little bit jaded. I still don't understand why the developer didn't make it a quick-time event, but at least it was … [Read more...]
The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone Review – A Satisfying DLC

If you haven't played the base Witcher 3, stop what you're doing, read this review, and get the game NOW! It starts by introducing Geralt's main antagonist Olgierd von Everec, who is one of the most alluring characters you'll ever find in the game series.

Star Wars Battlefront Beta First Impressions
Back in June, we told you why Star Wars Battlefront is an absolute must buy (but don't preorder)! Well, we recently had the chance to play around with the beta. Here are our first impressions: Star Wars Battlefront beta exposed the game's biggest flaw - the fact that it doesn't have a single-player campaign. If you just want to jump in for some mindless fun, then the Star Wars Battlefront multiplayer counter-part would more than suffice. It's a … [Read more...]
Warhammer End of Times Vermintide Beta Impressions
Our Warhammer End of Times Vermintide Beta playthrough was fantastic. Even though it resembles Left 4 Dead in almost every way, it's an enjoyable co-op survival horde game. Hey, if it ain't broken why try to fix it? The team over at GameGuideWorld knew that it was going to have a ton of survival elements, but we had no idea that there was a loot and crafting mechanic involved. Yet, we didn't have enough time to experience what the crafting … [Read more...]
Crusader Kings 2 Review – A Politically Driven Feast
The Steam Paradox sale just ended yesterday and after five days of productivity-shattering deals I found myself owning the base collection of Crusader Kings 2, plus the majority of DLCs. Never have I thought that a grand strategy game could grip me in front of my PC with my eyes peeled open. As I'm writing this I'm itching to get back into CK2, wanting to delve deeper into the chaotic Europe of 769 - the game usually starts almost 300 years … [Read more...]
Skyshine’s Bedlam Review – Kill the King, Reach Aztec City!
While not unique in any way, Bedlam's art is just scrumptious, its story-line is addictive and game mechanics are infuriatingly fun. Skyshine's Bedlam is like XCOM meets FTL meets Fallout meets Mad Max. It will destroy your innocence. It will nuke you, call mutants to t-bag your soldiers and, in the end, it will laugh in your face - but it's so God damn fun. Furthermore, it's unforgiving with those that take Skyshine's Bedlam as a … [Read more...]
MGS 5: Phantom Pain Review – Everything Has to End
The MGS series has always been about complex plots and Shyamalan-like twists and turns. Every game in the series ends with a blast that either makes you think you didn't understood anything prior to the final chapter or a relentless feeling of utter confusion begins to overwhelm you. Basically, you need to really sink your teeth into a MGS title to actually figure things out. … [Read more...]
Volume Game Review – A Futuristic Robin Hood
The new Volume game has been developed and published by Bithell Games. Volume is a stealth game that employs puzzle elements. The game features 100 levels and a stage creator if you're keen on going full creative. It tells the story of Rob Locksley, a futuristic Robin Hood that has less facial expressions than Kristen Stewart. The epic theatrical score tries its best to give an elevated vibe, but it all seems so mundane. This Volume video game … [Read more...]
