How many times have you been playing a game and thought to yourself “I could do better than this”? It’s a statement that, for most of us, almost certainly isn’t true; while we like to fantasise about making our own games, the fact is that we don’t have even the most rudimentary knowledge about how to start doing so. Luckily, we don’t need it, because we have games like Game Dev Tycoon to help us get started. If you don’t know it, Game Dev Tycoon is exactly what it sounds like: it’s an indie game that places you in charge…

Here’s a staggering statistic: every year, there can be anywhere from seven thousand to ten thousand games released on Steam. With that many games pouring in (although many of them will, of course, be shovelware to a degree), it’s impossible to play everything, and so the huge, high-profile games often push their way to the fore. However, this means that many gamers miss out on a lot of hidden gems that they may end up loving. Nowhere is this more true than in the PC gaming market, so here are 10 underrated PC gaming gems you need to check out.…

It’s been a difficult year for the gaming industry. The coronavirus pandemic has forced many upcoming titles to be cancelled or delayed, and even those whose production is forging ahead will have encountered myriad unforeseen difficulties. With that in mind, the return of E3 this year will have been a welcome balm for the worries of many gamers and industry heads alike. It was a somewhat muted show this year, likely impacted by the lack of genuine blockbuster games to show off, but that doesn’t mean E3 2021 didn’t have plenty of great games to see. Here are the best…

Sega games are classic form of gaming that have been around for years. Although many believe they had their moment in the early 2000’s, never to be seen again, they’re making a major comeback. The Genesis Mini was released in September of this year, but the younger generation wouldn’t have a clue about the best classic games that we loved to play in the 90s and early 2000s. For those who are not familiar with the Sega gaming world, Sega games are games made by a Japanese multinational video game developer and publisher called Sega Corporation. Their headquarters are in…

After an unbelievably long 7 year wait and a handful of other hiccups, Naughty Dog launched their highly anticipated sequel to the Last of Us; the Last of Us 2 on the 19th of June. Following the launch, the game received very split reviews with a majority of the Playstation community labeling the project as an epic flop.  I certainly won’t go so far as to say that, though I will note that there are several aspects of the game that let it down  a bit in terms of initial expectations. Let me clarify, that’s not all we are here…

This week’s ‘Game of the Week’ is a fun one. After spending hours every day delving into CoD Warzone, I was growing mildly bored with the repetition. That’s when I decided to try out Riot Games’ new competitive FPS, Valorant. To put it in plain speak, think Counter-Strike with hero elements. After one game, I was completely hooked. Valorant is fun, challenging, and exciting, even if you feel like you’re losing, you’ll always have the chance to redeem yourself and your team. In epic 5×5 battles, strategy and aim is everything. Rounds start with a Buy Phase where you…

The official reveal was kept until the tail end of the live stream, but what we saw justified the wait. The aesthetic of this sleek hardware is unique, and it resembles the…

There is no arguing. Football is the most popular sport ever and, naturally, so many spend countless hours playing it. While there is nothing like the smell of fresh grass, the tense air, and the feeling one experiences at the stadium, playing football on your PC, PlayStation, or Sega is the closest it gets. It is a game that makes your heart jump a bit and get insanely competitive while also feeling the connection with other players. Well, it’s possible to say that football is more than a game. It is a powerful force that brings people together, no matter…

It’s that time of the season where we get to talk and make our list for which games we anticipate the most, from the games that are already confirmed to arrive on the next-gen consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X. Starting off, with one of the first games confirmed to be released for the PS5, Godfall We all are familiar with Gearbox and their successful game series, Borderlands, and they are back to cause all sorts of chaos and mayhem in the next-generation consoles, with another looter-slasher game. This time, unlike Borderlands, which was first-person shooter with cartoony graphics and…

Ah, Britain. Land of tea, the King, and other associated stereotypes.  Of course, modern Britain is just as cosmopolitan and diverse as anywhere else in the world. Anything the developed world can do, Britain can do as well, and that includes streaming on Twitch. The UK is a nation of gamers, just as the USA and other countries are. It might be a small island nation off the coast of mainland Europe, but don’t count it out when it comes to Twitch. Yes, many of the most interesting and content-rich streamers on Twitch actually hail from this sceptered isle. The…

As a fan and player of the MOBA game Dota 2, I was intrigued when the announcement of Dota Underlords hit the internet in early 2019. Released as an open-beta, the team at Valve has been making consistent improvements to this fun, strategic game over the course of the past (almost) year, prepping for the release of the full version on the 25th of February 2020.  I’ve put about 600 hours on the Underlords clock (yes, I know that means 25 days of my year were just spent playing the game) and I’ll say that it’s been a wonderful, frustrating…

It’s that time again and we’re heading into the second week of December with an exciting feature we’re sure you’ll love. Yes, we know it’s an oldie, but oh is it a goodie. Maybe the best open-world PC game ever? You read and decide for yourself.  What is this week’s spotlight? Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.  Released in 2015 by CD Projekt Red, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt soon became one of the highest-rated PC games (10/10) according to Steam and we seriously can’t argue with that.

After lots of nail-biting and brain blanking, it’s been decided that the Game of the Week should go to none other than the up and coming contender for top battle royale game; Apex Legends. No collective groan from the audience? We didn’t think so.  This mildly infuriating, team-oriented BR game hit the charts on launch in February with a peak 25 million players. While that figure has died down considerably, from the mouth of EA, they still bring in an average of 8-10 million per week, that figure obviously includes me.  Best features: Teamplay, unique weapons, ping system, character classes,…

Military strategy is a pretty popular genre, and for obvious reasons. The appeal of watching troops execute a perfectly-planned strategy and take down their enemy with ruthless efficiency isn’t one that needs to be explained. Nevertheless, this crowded genre has hundreds of games, some better than others. Here are the top 20 military strategy games you can play in 2019. BattleTech (PC) While BattleTech doesn’t technically feature the real-life military, it does revolve around a group of mercenaries piloting mechs, so it is military in spirit.
