Maize Review

Maize Review

, , , , , 0

Maize is one of the most difficult games to explain to someone else who has never played it. It is essentially a first-person adventure game with a touch of Monty Python-inspired comedy. Following a misunderstanding between a group of researchers and government officials, a crop of sentient corn is created and it is your job to discover exactly how this happened and what the now intelligent plant-life might be planning. To help you along the way, you are assisted by a talking teddy bear that has a heavy Russian accent. If all of this seems a bit surreal that is entirely by design. Maize is a game that focuses on humor more than anything else. Vladdy, your teddy companion, has some incredibly witty dialogue and the rest of the rather absurd humor hits the mark more than it misses throughout the three to four hours that it will take you to complete it. Although described as an adventure game, it would be perhaps more accurate to classify this title as

Telltale Games Reveals New Batman, Walking Dead, and Wolf Among Us Games

Following up from their Twitter tease that they had some significant news to share at San Diego Comic-Con, Telltale Games has announced they are working on three brand new games. They include the fourth and final season of The Walking Dead, a second season of Batman, and a second series of The Wolf Among Us. Most surprising of the announcements was the reveal that the company is working in a new game in the Fables franchise. The team’s communications officer, Job Stauffer, had recently moved to dampen fans excitement at a possible The Wolf Among Us sequel, suggesting that the studio would love to work with the series again at some point in the future. The new game will once again focus on the exploits of Bigby Wolf and Snow White from Bill Willingham Fables comic series. However, it won’t be a traditional sequel and will not resolve the ending of the first game that was intentionally left open-ended. The game will instead see the same cast of characters return

Her Majesty’s Spiffing (Xbox One) Review

Her Majesty’s Spiffing (Xbox One) Review

, , , , 0

Considering current world events, it might seem like a good idea to blast off into space in search of a new home. This is the case in Her Majesty’s Spiffing, a graphic adventure game that sees the Queen become tired with Politicians in Westminster and decide to launch a new Empire in the infinite possibilities of space. You take on the role of Captain English, who is joined by the Welsh Sub-Lieutenant Jones, as they try to find some new planets to colonize in the name of Her Majesty. First off, it is important to note that this title is unashamedly British. Those who don’t get the humor of the UK and aren’t familiar with many of the tropes and eccentricities of its people might struggle to understand exactly what is going on. This is made abundantly clear from the very first mission, which tasks you with making two cups of tea. Much of the fun of Her Majesty’s Spiffing comes from the witty dialogue and satire of Britain in

The graphic adventure game Life Is Strange is set to be adapted into a live-action digital series. The project will be a collaboration between publisher Square Enix, Legendary Digital Studios, and production company DJ2 Entertainment, according to a press release from all three companies. Life Is Strange was chosen because it “lends itself perfectly to live-action imaginings.” “We’re proud and excited to be working alongside Legendary to realise a new version of Arcadia Bay and Blackwell Academy complete with our rich cast of realistic, believable characters and memorable events,” said Jon Brooke, vice president for brand and European marketing at Square Enix. While no writers, cast or crew have so far been signed onto the series, it would appear to be in good hands with the two studios who are working on adapting the game. Legendary Digital Studios have already worked on a collection of Dead Rising films while DJ2 Entertainment are also helping Sony Pictures to produce a Sonic the hedgehog movie. Life Is Strange is an episodic adventure

Marvel and Telltale Games have officially announced in an event at San Francisco that it has signed an agreement with Telltale Games to create graphic adventure games based on the properties it owns. The first title will be available in 2017 for several platforms, but neither Marvel nor the developer has stated what the game is and what characters it will include. Although the timing suggests it may tie-in with the Infinity Wars movies that are set to release in 2018 and 2019. The move comes as Marvel attempts to release games that focus more on storytelling rather than simply action. The partnership with Telltale Games will allow the Disney owned company to release games that are authentic, with gripping plots and an experience that fits in with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Telltale Games was founded in 2004 by a number of ex-LucasArts employees who had previous experience in creating graphic adventure games such as the Monkey Island series. Although they have released other games from different genres, such as Poker Night,
