The much awaited, critically acclaimed Sniper: Ghost Warrior has finally received a release date. After the game’s original 2016 release was pushed back to 2017, the fans were a little disappointed. But you will be glad to know that the game is set to release worldwide on 27th January, 2017, adding it to the list of highly anticipated upcoming games. The game is developed by CI Games, a Polish studio, and will be showcased at Gamescom this year. It has also received an official launch trailer, which is the latest footage of the game available since the E3 2015. Check out the trailer below. The trailer looks pretty kickass, with more action, and new weapons and items. Framerate, however, seemed like it could be a little better. But maybe that’s just there in the trailer, ...
Epic Games’ co-founder Tim Sweeney is known for openly speaking against Microsoft’s Universal Windows Platform, describing it as a “Microsoft-controlled distribution and commerce monopoly”. He clearly is not a fan of what Microsoft may have in store for us with Windows 10. In a recent interview with Edge Magazine, Sweeney has directly targeted his criticisms, saying that future updates in Windows 10 may make third party applications and stores like Steam progressively worse. Here is his official statement: “There are two programming interfaces for Windows and every app has to choose one of them. Every Steam app – every PC game for the past few decades – has used Win32. It’s been both responsible for the vibrant software market we have now, but also for malware. Any progra...

No Man’s Sky sure can’t seem to get enough time in the news. After being the target of a “stupid” lawsuit and multiple life threatening delays (literally), the game finally went gold this month. And even after that there was a claim where Hello Games was accused of a patent formula theft. However, fans continue to jump in joy as the game nears its August release. One big question that surrounded No Man’s Sky and its 18 tetra-hexa-zillion (who knows how many?) planets was that whether the game would have an online component, and whether the PS Plus Subscription would be needed to access it. It’s been known for a while that the game can easily be played offline as the vast world is not generated on server side, but in the game itself, but online access wi...
System Shock remaster, originally announced as an Xbox and PC exclusive, is now said to release for the PS 4 as well, as announced by developer Nightdive Studios on the Playstation blog. Sony has partnered up with the studio in order to bring the game to their beloved platform. The game was announced as a Kickstarter project last month, with a crowdfunding target of USD 900,000. Since then, old and new fans alike have pledged more than $1 million at time of writing, with people who’ve put in $50 and more getting closed beta access. For the Xbox and PC, the game is targeting a December 2017 launch. The project directorm Jason Fader, wrote in a kickstarter update, “After we saw the overwhelming demand for PS4, we reshuffled our priorities and focused on talking to Sony about mak...
Think The Butterfly Effect. Then mix it with a little bit of PT and add a dab of The Stanley Parable, and you’ve gotten yourself the mind boggling psychological horror that is Asemblance. According to Nilo Studio’s official website, their first game is “the pilot episode of a mind-bending franchise inspired by The Twilight Zone, The X-Files and the Black Mirror Television series.” As exciting as it may sound, the game feels forgettable at the best. Mind you, there are plenty of great things about the game, but the execution feels a little sloppy, making the entire experience unfulfilling. Now you can’t talk much about the game without spoiling some of it, so we’ll try not to mention the story too much. Your aim is to enter numerous memories using a simulation, in order to...
Simple Spy is a precision platformer by an Indian studio called Kodari Games. It is available on the PC (Steam), iOS and Android platforms. Developed by a two member team, this game is easy to get into, hard to master and sometimes straight up frustrating. Don’t get us wrong, that’s what we like about the game. The game combines excellent music, simple menu designs with minimalist aesthetics and hardcore gameplay. There are over 60 levels to master, each more difficult that the previous one, and you can choose from different characters. But there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye. Once you actually get into the game, you realize that it is harder than it seems to be. As you jump, roll and climb walls making your way around the obstacles, the precision element of the g...
In a statement issued to Eurogamer, Capcom announced that the original Dead Rising will be making its way to the PC, Xbox One and PS4. If you’re into taking selfies, this gives you an opportunity to take as many selfies as you want with the undead. Additionally, Capcom will also release Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record for the Xbox One and PS4. These announcements were made paving way for the Christmas release of Dead Rising 4, which is supposed to be a Windows and Xbox One exclusive for an entire year following its release. Check out the trailer for the much awaited game. The original Dead Rising was released exclusively for the Xbox 360 in 2006, and only the Wii got the taste of the game with a scaled down, motion controlled port. It will be interesting, not to menti...
Here we go again, someone is offended. This time, it is the Universal Society of Hinduism, whose President Rajan Zed is asking Blizzard to take down Symmetra’s new Devi skin from Overwatch, as it “trivializes Hinduism’s highly revered goddesses. Read his complete statement here. Rajan Zed said “that in a video game set-up, the player controlled the movements of Devi, while in reality the devotees put the destinies of themselves in the hands of their goddesses. Moreover, Devi and its movements depicted in Overwatch did not match with characterization of the goddesses in the scriptures.” Talk about shoving your religion down other people’s throats. Need we remind you that there is a game where you can actually play as different Gods? We’re talking ab...
A few years ago, if someone had said that you should play football with rocket fueled cars in a thunderdome style environment, they would’ve been quickly dismissed as a crazy, maybe psychotic person. But this is exactly what gave birth to something that almost everyone has come to love – Rocket League. The game has the players engulfed in a frenzy, and it’s hard to think of any reasons of why it shouldn’t. Psyonix’s new game on the block is a perfect blend of strategy and speed, requiring the players to make split-second decisions, while acrobatically flying across a football arena, trying to score against the opponents. The approach is pretty simple. You’re placed in a football field in a 1v1 / 2v2/ 4v4 match, and all you need to do is get past the defe...
Microsoft won quite a lot of hearts when they announced the “Xbox Play Anywhere” feature coming to future titles, which would allow the user to play a Microsoft Studio title on both the Xbox One and their Windows 10 PC, while purchasing the game only on one platform. They would get access to the game on the other platform for free. Now, as the original announcement said, “Every upcoming Microsoft Studio title will have the Xbox Play Anywhere feature”. But recently, Microsoft made a stealthy edit to their announcement post, which now says,”Every new title published from Microsoft Studios that we showed onstage at E3 this year will support Xbox Play Anywhere.” Way to be subtle, Microsoft. Now this may some sense from the company’s point of view. If t...
We’re there guys. The wait is over, it’s finally here. In a recent twitter post, Sean Murray, the Creative Director at Hello Games that No Man’s Sky has “gone gold”. For those who don’t know, “gone gold” refers to creating a gold mastercopy of a title once it is out of the development phase and deemed fit for release. That’s correct, in other words, no more delays. The game is complete and we can finally get our hands on it soon. What makes this so special is that No Man’s Sky has been in the news ever since it was first showcased at E3 2014. The game was delayed numerous times, fans were angry and the developers received death threats. But now it’s all over. Everything is right with the gaming world again. The game is set ...
