It’s hardly a secret that Miyazaki and his team at From Software have made some difficult games in the past. The reputations of Demons and Dark Souls as being some of the toughest titles in the business are well known; and most gamers will at some point, have played one of

All the way back in 1992, the entertainment world was shook by the arrival of the very first ‘Mortal Kombat’. A controversial take on the fighting-game genre, where you could win a match by literally killing your opponent. Cue the screams of angry parents around the world as they tried

It’s been a whole five months already since Shinji Mikami unleashed his mind-bending, psychological thriller, ‘The Evil Within’ onto the gaming community.

One of the most critically acclaimed sandbox titles of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, 2012’s ‘Sleeping Dogs’ seemed to take everyone by surprise with its compelling narrative and immensely enjoyable gameplay.
