‘Telling Lies’ and the new nonlinear narrative

[ad_1] Her Story‘s plaudits — including from The Game Awards, BAFTAs and numerous ‘best of the year’ lists — also framed Barlow as the brains behind a new form of non-linear, interactive narrative that’s more complex than the choose-your-own-adventure of Netflix’s Bandersnatch or Telltale Games titles. Barlow — who previously worked on games like Silent […]

‘Control’ is nearly a fantastic supernatural action game

[ad_1] Between aiming, shooting and telekinetically throwing big metal boxes at baddies, each room has plenty of action to offer. Jesse’s superpowers are dope, mostly because they’re not too finicky. Items that she can pick up — electrical boxes, metal panels, lights, concrete blocks — are outlined in white, but even if there’s no throwable […]

Jon Bernthal is your enemy in ‘Ghost Recon Breakpoint’

[ad_1] If you don’t want to play Breakpoint’s main story, there’s also going to be a PvP multiplayer mode that will let you play different “high-action” games with friends. I didn’t get to check out this mode, but similar to the story, you’ll be playing as a Ghost in Auroa, except here the goal will […]

Sega Genesis Mini hands-on: A faithfully clunky controller

[ad_1] This year’s E3 is the first time journalists and the public have got to play with the Genesis Mini, and there are some great games baked in. There’s a whole list of games right here, but highlights include Sonic 2, Castle of Illusion, Shinobi 3, Kid Chameleon and Streets of Rage 2. There are […]

Netflix is working on a ‘Stranger Things’ mobile RPG

[ad_1] The free-to-play game is location-based, said Chris Lee, Netflix’s director of interactive games, and it has Google Maps integration. You’ll battle against the evils of The Upside Down with other players. Lee added that the game adopts an ’80s Saturday morning cartoon art style rather than the 16-bit look of the other Stranger Things […]

‘Darksiders Genesis’ is more than a Diablo-like dungeon crawler

[ad_1] Darksiders Genesis introduces Strife as the fourth Horseman and primary protagonist, though players can instantly swap between him and War throughout the game to take advantage of their relative combat advantages. Strife relies on firearms while War fights with his sword, Chaos Eater. Together, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse must unravel a tangled web […]

‘Destroy All Humans!’ returns to finish the job in 2020

[ad_1] The first Destroy All Humans! was set in 1959 and followed Crypto’s exploits to take over the Earth, harvest human DNA and use it to rekindle his race while demolishing the US government. I was afforded a hands-on of a pre-alpha build during E3 and came away from it secretly hoping for the downfall […]

Things are looking up for ‘Pro Evolution Soccer 2020’

[ad_1] For starters, Konami has finally listened to players’ feedback and redesigned its entire menu system, making it more modern and easier to browse. If you’ve been playing PES for a while, you know how tedious and cumbersome the menus have been. Konami says it has enhanced its lighting engine, too, which will make stadiums, […]
