Wot I Think: Murdered – Soul Suspect

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:00:30 +0000

Murdered: Soul Suspect is the tale of a silly man solving his own stupid murder. It’s an insubstantial game that won’t haunt your hard drive or your memory for long, but before I hammer the nails into its coffin, I’m going to talk about the good times and the merriment we enjoyed together. Despite the [...]

Holden Boyles’ Spirit Becomes Qora, Releases New Demo

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 19:00:36 +0000

It’s been all change since Adam had a good ol’ muse about Spirit back in March. All the Kickstarter stretch goals for the exploratory wanderer were smashed, with a final total of a little over ten thousand dollars. That added a whole other half to the game and guaranteed a sequel. Since then it’s been [...]

Spaceship Diplomacy: Spies And Information In EVE Online

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 18:00:22 +0000

In this, the last of our reports from EVE Fanfest 2014, Rich Stanton sits down with one of the MMOs’ enigmatic space diplomats. One of the most curious aspects of EVE Online is that the more influential the player, the less time they spend in the game. Or claim to, at least – The Mittani [...]

Civilization – Embracing Spanish Confucianism

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:00:07 +0000

Three of us, myself, Potshot, and Loghound, got into the game about on time on Friday. Mattman had something going on and expected to be late. Just a couple of turns into this round, I got what I considered a bit of an ill omen. There on the edge of my lands was an Assyrian […]

That’s Quite A Lot, Isn’t It? 1001 Spikes Released

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:00:05 +0000

I worry that if the trend of games which repeatedly kick you in the nethers continues, the Daily Mail and your mum might start to have a point. Between Dark Souls, Binding of Isaac and any number of roguelikes and retro-remakes, the next generation is being turned into failure-lovers. Still, not our fault that it’s [...]

Wildstar is no Threat to World of Warcraft

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:07:19 +0000

I’m about five days into Wildstar now. I’ve advanced my Esper to level 24. Managed to complete an adventure and a dungeon. Most importantly, I participated in two world boss raid events to get a glimmer of what actual raiding will be like at max level. Wildstar does bill itself as Hardcore and there may […]

The RPS Verdict – Wolfenstein: The New Order

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 16:00:40 +0000

In a bunker deep beneath the blighted surface of The United Blokes Of Great Britain For 100% British Blokes Only, at the halfway point between Brighton and Manchester, Alec and Adam shelter from Farage’s dread Lager Sentinels and think of an alternate reality where Osborne hadn’t privatised oxygen to the highest bidder at Bilderberg and [...]

Legend Of Grimrock 2 Out This Year, No Early Access

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:00:53 +0000

It’s been a long time since yesterday, so here’s a quick refresher: Legend of Grimrock 2 is already deep in alpha testing and well on its way to beta. Hurrah! I can’t wait to peel myself off the business end of an ogre’s club only to get re-crushed by a wicked tough puzzle. All of [...]

Last Manchester Standing: Beyond – Flesh And Blood

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 14:00:19 +0000

It begins as few Wednesday afternoons do – Alice is sounding the news klaxon and I haven’t even managed to chip through the flinty film that shudders like a tenebrous membrane atop the canteen gruel. This is usually a quiet time, the hivemind sighing into synchronised sleep, but something has excited the nerve centre of [...]

Another Goat Simulator Update, Another Incredible Trailer

NoWhErE — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 13:00:57 +0000

Goat Simulator really is just the dumbest thing, isn’t it? Naturally, that’s why everyone in the whole world loves it and I have a pet goat now. I was surprised (and let’s face it: a bit saddened) to find that real goats have functional neck bones and lack tongues that stretch like elastic and stick [...]
