Total War: Warhammer 40,000 feels like one of those games where you think to yourself, "wait, how doesn't this exist already?" There have been previous Total War: Warhammer games, three of them in fact, but all set in the original, fantasy setting, not the far flung futuristic…

Under Microsoft's ownership, it was probably a safe bet that Double Fine would never get to make a Brutal Legend 2, even in this IP-obsessed world we find ourselves in. However! Microsoft don't own Double Fine anymore, and so the once again indie developer can more or less do…

Rebellion might well be the Ronseal-iest of British game developers. Sniper Elite? You’re an elite sniper in WW2. Zombie Army? You shoot your way through an army of undead. Alien Deathstorm? Well, there’s a storm so bad it’ll probably kill you if the aliens…

Onimusha has come a long way since the days of being “Resident Evil but with Swords”. There are still nods to the series’ horror roots — Japan has never shied away from body horror — but as the first new game in two decades, Onimusha: Way of the Sword adopts a more modern…
