Caravan SandWitch is a game in which the qualifiers really matter. It's the post-apocalypse, but it's also gentle and dreamy and kind of lovely. You're looking for your missing sister, but in an unhurried, holidaying sort of way. The game's futuristic landscape is based on Provence, and maybe it's hard to get too serious about things in Provence. The rocks and mountains are the colour of milky coffee. The sky... Read more ›

Believe it or not, Mass Effect 1 has the same faux-sprint effect in play - where your... Read more ›

There's something reassuringly old-school about the meaty punchups of OutRage: Fight Fest, a straightforward but satisfying beat 'em-up that also manages to blend in some smart new ideas. The more hits you land amidst OutRage's constant flurry of action - using melee weapons, pieces of scenery or just your good ol' fashioned fists - the bigger your on-screen character becomes, and the closer you get to unleashing an Over Rage...

Another year, another Ubisoft Forward livestream without any reference to Beyond Good & Evil 2, the long, long-awaited sci-fi sequel that Ubisoft still says it has in the works.
