The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 (or BOTW 2, for short) is in development for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo has confirmed that we should expect to see it sometime in 2022.Our last update on the game came during Nintendo’s E3 2021 presentation when a new trailer gave us a much better look at the world of Breath of the Wild 2. It seems to be similar to that of the 2017 game, but with a sky-high difference. The new trailer below shows that floating cities are back, as is jumping through, and even paragliding past, clouds, seemingly…
BioShock 4 is the unofficial title for the new BioShock game that’s been officially confirmed by games publisher 2K Games and its new studio Cloud Chamber Studios as being in development. We first heard about BioShock 4 back in 2019. The official announcement followed months of rumors that the game was in development and had been for some time. But 2K games has made it clear that the next BioShock will be “in development for the next several years,” so even if it’s well on its way, we’ll have to wait a little longer before its launch. Although official details are scarce,…
GAME INFOLawn Mowing Simulator10th August, 2021Platform PC, Xbox Series S/XPublisher Curve DigitalDeveloper Skyhook Games I’ve got to admit that I’ve never been interested in cutting grass. Would I like to ride one of those monstrous mowers, recreating a scene from the classic film Caligula? (the link isn’t wholly SFW, the film is highly NSFW) Yes, I would like to do that.

Simulator games will always be a strange breed, but they are certainly ones that have come into their…

Virtua Fighter 2 – a milestone in gaming (pic: Sega)A reader recalls the most important milestones in his gaming life and worries that the new generation hasn’t produced anything similar yet. I’ve found myself somewhat disillusioned with gaming for the last couple of years. I have no interest in getting a PlayStation 5 and most games I try on my PlayStation 4 don’t seem to click. There have been two constants in my life: films (which I went on to study and work in) and gaming. I thought this would be the perfect time to reminisce about the biggest gaming…
Two Point Hospital – it manages to work well on consoles (pic: Sega)A reader recommends four of his favourite console management games, including Two Point Hospital, Planet Coaster, and Aven Colony. There was a time during the 90s when the video game market was saturated with management games: Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper, SimCity, Championship Manager, and even SimAnt to name a few (seriously, google 90s management games!). But with the rise of consoles came a shift in gamer habits, gone were these slower paced management sims in favour of more fast-paced action orientated titles. Until the last few…
