“The Unfinished Swan is a game about exploring the unknown.

The player is a young boy (Monroe) chasing after a swan who has wandered off into a surreal, unfinished kingdom. The game begins in a completely white space where players can throw paint to splatter their surroundings and reveal the world around them.”

The game was released on October 23, 2012, and is available exclusively for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and the PlayStation Vita. It's a downloadable game so to buy it you'll need to visit Sony's online store.” ---- http://www.giantsparrow.com/games/swan/

The Intro:

Back in the day, ID Software came out with a game called Heretic. It was a 3-D fantasy shooter and developers Raven Software used a modified version of the excellent Doom engine.

The Intro:

The Witcher series has always been somewhat of an outlier in the RPG genre. Not because the games aren’t great (they are) or because the setting is completely different from every other RPG (it isn’t.)

The Intro:

The McGuffin. At once a potentially infuriating and amazing plot device. Usually, the purpose of the McGuffin is to drive a larger story. Cinema has given us some great McGuffins like the Pulp Fiction briefcase and the Maltese Falcon.

The Intro:

In 2011, Mortal Kombat finally grew up. Yes, a game that featured more mutilations and blood spatter than ever before, grew up. Our beloved gory fighter took a step up and finally became a game that was worthy of professional competitions.

Skateboarding is a Blast:

Last year, an unassuming 2D skating game made its way onto PlayStations worldwide. It was called OlliOlli. Almost instantaneously, the game became a smash-hit.

My Rant:

Oh, the sweet, sweet fps (frames per second). Most people will probably give you looks of scorn when you talk about how 30 frames per second just aren’t enough. Some of them might call you a snob or an elitist.

The Intro:

Two characters stand on a barren wasteland. An intense staredown. Gradually, the screen and the ground begins to shake. Debris starts to float up into the air as the two characters charge up their attacks. They growl and grunt and shout.

The Intro:

The executives at Sony have probably been breathing easier the past couple of weeks, because with Bloodborne, they finally have their first true system-seller for the PS4. This is the must-have game that The Order: 1886 failed so spectacularly to be.

Say what you will about a brilliant narrative and fantastic visuals. When it comes to pure fun, the co-operative shooter genre stands above most. Think about the best gaming stories you have with your friends.

When the first gameplay trailers for The Order: 1886 came out, gamers worldwide were thrilled. Here was a cool-looking game which had werewolves, fantastic weapons and immortal knights!

The Intro:

Much like George R. R. Martin’s wildly popular series of books, Telltale started off its Game of Thrones franchise with an instalment that was essentially a slow burn.

Why are we so fascinated by monsters? We’re afraid of them, and yet we can’t help but be excited every time we hear a great monster story or watch a fantastic creature film. Throughout most of our lives, our fascination with monsters remains.

The Intro:

“Zombies, zombies everywhere!” is something you might have muttered to yourself about the state of pop culture, or of the world in general. Even though we can pretty much agree that too many movies and games run to the zombie well for content, there’s still hope.

One of the blurbs which Loadout ran with described it as “Looney tunes as directed by Quentin Tarantino.” That quote is incredibly accurate. If you’ve never heard of Loadout before, think of it as Team Fortress meets Borderlands meets Quake III.

Has there ever been a TV adaptation based on a series of books that has become as much of a juggernaut as Game of Thrones has? The answer, my dear reader, is no.

Do you remember playing Diablo III or Tomb Raider and thinking “Wow, it would be so amazing if they could make an isometric Lara Croft game!”? No? Well, you’re not alone.
