Gamescom is one of the most exciting events on the gamer calendar. It’s often the home of massive reveals akin to those found at other huge gaming events like E3 or the Tokyo Game Show and is Europe’s biggest gaming event by far. That means that whenever a Gamescom show happens, you can bank on some seriously exciting stuff being revealed for the gaming year ahead, and this year’s presentation was no exception. Here are the 10 games revealed at this year’s Gamescom that we’re most excited to play. Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part One We’re absolutely massive fans…

Did it ever happen to you to get hungry while watching others prepare delicious food in TV shows or movies? We are sure that when you see those carefully chosen ingredients that always look like a carefully curated Instagram photo, you can’t help yourself. Going to the fridge is the logical next destination. Or here’s another fun and creative direction – cooking a 5-star meal and becoming a master chef. In this alternate reality, you can prepare exotic food in a fancy restaurant, and you won’t even have to deal with washing the dishes. Okay. There might be some activities…

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…

One of the most satisfying feelings is finally getting what you waited for so long. Now it’s officially true. PlayStation 5 is no longer a mystery. Sony has put an end to our painful waiting, and it’s safe to say that we got more than what we expected. We all had a certain vision of how the consoles will look like, but Sony still managed to surprise us. 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…

Hunting games have come a long way since Duck Hunt first hit the arcades in 1984. The fundamentals of a good hunting game have not changed much but the gameplay experience has vastly improved from that first coin-operated machine.  Next time you get the itch to stalk a buck or take down big game, take a look at our top Hunting games for Console or PC. Pro Deer Hunting 2 If you are looking for a realistic deer hunting simulator, then Pro Deer Hunting 2 is worth a consideration. It advances from the original game with improved visuals, and extras…

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…

Do you want to know what surprises PlayStation prepared for you in 2020? We will tell you about the best and most expected PlayStation 4 exclusives, and you will surely find some of your favorites in this list. Some of them surprised us a lot. Almost every PlayStation exclusive is a big event, a lot of work, and a fair amount of innovation that the company offers its customers. In recent years, a considerable number of amazing PlayStation 4 exclusives have been released – Horizon Zero Dawn, Marvel’s Spider-Man, God of War, and other amazing games have already become classics of the gaming…

Mobile gaming has been on the rise over the past few years and with PC, PS4 etc. titles like PUBG tapping into the game, the obvious competition has tried to make their mark on the space as well. Due to the current trend of convenience in our culture, the big players in the gaming industry are moving in to take their share of the £50 billion mobile gaming market.  What are we talking about exactly? If you couldn’t tell by the first paragraph’s heavy focus on mobile gaming, this week’s Game of the Week has to be none other than…

Playing online is one of the great joys of gaming. Whether you’re playing browser games by yourself or engaging in an exciting raid with your buddies, online gaming is arguably the best innovation of the Xbox 360-PlayStation 3 era. With that said, some games are definitely better than others; not all online games are created equal. Here, we present for you the 15 best online games you can currently play on any platform, in no particular order. Without further ado, let’s get started! Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) Though it wasn’t the first game to…

With Christmas just around the corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to play some holiday-themed games to get you in the Christmas spirit.

Don’t skip over the gaming festivities this year, we have a lot of funky titles for you to choose from. So grab your Gramps, a snack, and prepare for an epically funny gaming session that’ll become your Christmas tradition every year.  Christmas Wonderland 6 I…

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. We’d be remiss not to mention that it also won Game of the Year and…

Every video lover must have noticed the slow progression of video games in 2019. While this might seem a little bit of concern, it might interest you to know that something great still came out of this dearth. There are more than enough fun games on gamesgames.com, including new releases this year that you should jump on.  Below is a list of some of the best fun games that rocked 2019 that you should not miss out on: 1. Apex Legends This game was released in February and has since been one of the most played games this year. Apex…

In the history of gaming, racing games have been consistent since the first video game was released in 1974. However, it has improved over the years and happens to be the favorite genre of many video game lovers, whether as a novice or a professional gamer.  Selecting the best racing games isn’t an easy fit as it involves a lot, including the graphical content, sound, and virtual reality, like some of the car games on agame.com. The best racing game feels just right and keeps you glued longer than you expect while you have a great experience. Below are some…

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. The strategy in BattleTech is deep, complex, and interwoven; every system interlocks perfectly, and…

Nintendo is absolutely killing it in the gaming industry right now. The on-again-off-again pattern of the company’s console releases means each console is alternately successful and a disappointment. The N64 did great business, but the GameCube was underwhelming. The Wii put Nintendo back on track, but the Wii U was a disaster. Now we’ve got the Switch, a great idea with excellent execution that fills a niche we didn’t know we needed to be filled until it was. It stands to reason that a console like the Switch would be absolutely rammed with great games. There are, of course, some…

It’s finally getting colder. Temperatures are dropping, the leaves are falling from the trees, and the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back on sale. It’s almost time for Halloween. Almost. But if you just can’t wait for the spooky season to kick in, how about playing some terrifying video games to tide you over? We’ve compiled a list of some of the best around and some of the more obscure titles you might want to check out if you’re in the mood for a scare! In no particular order, here are our top 20 horror games. 1. Silent Hill Often regarded…

Gamescom 2019 is finally over, and we’ve had some time to sit and think about everything we saw. It’s been a few days since the show ended, and since its conclusion, we’ve been mulling over what we thought were the best bits. It was a pretty epic show this year, and many of the major video game companies had enviable showings. Still, crown winners we must. Here are the most impressive games we saw at Gamescom 2019. Marvel’s Avengers If you said to us “live-service version of The Avengers with loot and progression systems”, we’d have wondered if it could…

Whether you’re making your getaway in single-player mode or in GTA Online, the importance of a fast car in Grand Theft Auto V can’t be overstated. Speeding through the streets of Los Santos becomes all the more satisfying when you’re doing it in a vehicle that’s been designed to reach dizzying speeds, as any GTA race fan can attest. With that in mind, then, you’ll probably be looking for the fastest cars GTA V and GTA Online can muster, and it likely won’t surprise you to learn that there’s a ton of choice when it comes to speed demons. Let’s…

Those who were a fan of the movie series, which began back in 1980, are sure to have garnered excitement when hearing about this title. I was one of those fans. However, it is fairly common knowledge within the gaming community that movie-tie in games are rarely successful. With that said, could Friday the 13th: The Game buck this trend? Continue to read on to find out. Once the game was installed on my PS4, I attempted to join an online game. Sadly, the servers were down, a real issue that many have experienced within the first week or so of…

When it comes to first-person-shooters, Activision’s Call of Duty franchise has attracted a huge following. With the first release arriving in 2003, the series has continued to progress gradually, partly thanks to innovative features of which were often introduced on an annual basis. However, the approach to forwarding a futuristic era setting has come under fire from many veterans. We don’t need to look towards EA’s Battlefield 1 masterpiece to realise that a return to a previous setting would be highly welcomed. Here we delve into an article that explores why Call of Duty WW2 will be hugely appreciated and…

Great business simulation games are in short supply and there is always a long wait before a great title releases. Whilst this genre doesn’t entertain the same following as that of the mainstream options, the audience is still large and growing. Chris Sawyer is the person we should look to when thinking about business simulation within the world of gaming. After all, he is the creator behind some of the best titles, these include Rollercoaster Tycoon and Transport Tycoon. A recent gem, Planet Coaster, is close to perfect, but what could make it even better? This article explores. Weather Effects…

Once upon a time you’d have probably looked to Apple for striking innovations within the smartphone market. Each new announcement was filled with new ideas, features and excitement. However, since Steve Jobs passed, we’ve seen a lacklustre approach from the US. tech giant. Perhaps as Apple’s logo suggests, there was always going to be a competitor who wanted a bite from what was once a brand who dominated the smartphone and tablet market. I’m not afraid to admit that previously I was fond of Apple’s iPhone and iPad brand. I’d take one look at the competition and quickly see that…

I’m not sure about you, but there isn’t nearly enough World War 2 themed games available, and it is always refreshing to return to this very theme. Thus, If sneaking around a map, planning and preparing the perfect executions, one by one, sounds like your type of game, then Sniper Elite 4 might just be for you. Of course, as the name suggests, your main weapon of choice is a sniper, allowing you to zone in on enemies well into the distance. However, you also have access to an arsenal of other goodies, such as a machine gun, revolver, TNT,…

Amazing, isn’t it? We have two long-standing console players left within the home-console market, they being Nintendo and PlayStation. How history can pass us by with a flick of an eye. After all, we have seen SEGA fall victim, showing how a few bad decisions can really mean “Game Over” for a console manufacture. This article looks over which direction the Nintendo Switch could take. Let’s begin. It’s now Nintendo’s turn to risk entering a market that is rather uncertain – certainly risky, and it could quite be make or break for the juggernaut Japanese based company. If it could…

This year is quickly coming to a close, and it’s certainly been an eventful calendar full of great game releases. Furthermore, we’ve had the announcement of Nintendo’s next console, the Switch. That’s not to mention Sony’s PS4 Pro and PSVR. Microsoft’s announcement of the Scorpio was also another major highlight. Yes, it seems fair to say that this year was amazing, but we have far more to look forward to over the next 12 months. This article takes a look over some of the titles I’d like to see announced. Let’s begin. The Last of Us 2 As the PS4…

With Nintendo’s new console becoming available from March 2017, I thought it would be ideal to list some of the games I hope to see release. Whilst Sony’s PlayStation 4 has dominated the 8th-gen scene to date, it will be somewhat refreshing to see what Nintendo can actually do with their Switch. The exciting part to any console release is the games that will become available, so let’s go ahead and ponder some possible gems. Golden Eye Remastered What an absolute diamond this was for the Nintendo 64, we’ve even seen fans attempt to re-make the title in glorious HD,…
