Eurogamer Expo Interview: Dream Developer Hyper Sloth

October 10, 2012 by Mark Seymour

When Valve announced the first fistful of titles advancing through its contentious Steam Greenlight process, among the Black Mesas and Project Zomboids was a little known game called Dream. To many, Dream would have looked like a beguiling riff on the 3D explorative/adventure breed recently characterised by Dear Esther. Few would have been aware, however, that the team behind one of Greenlight’s earliest success stories had yet to make it out of university. Dream is their first game. It’s been in […]

Far Cry 3 6

Preview: Far Cry 3

October 8, 2012 by Mark Seymour

There are many pursuits one could busy themselves with during a 15-minute long session with Far Cry 3, and the demo on show at the Eurogamer Expo is clearly geared towards showcasing as many of those pursuits as possible. I know because the Ubisoft PR man told me so. So we’ve got vehicles. Lots of vehicles. A large island paradise. And lots of distractions. There are driveable jet skis, hand gliders, boats, quads, cars and trucks as well as a raft […]

Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed

Preview: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

October 5, 2012 by Mark Seymour

It’s speed and not Mario Kart that I come away pondering having played the multiplayer ingredient of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Transformed’s tracks – each of them grounded in a popular SEGA franchise, from Monkey Ball through Panzer Dragoon by way of NiGHTS and a fistful of others - whoosh by in a kaleidoscopic haze and while Sumo Digital promise a handful of different speed classes, this is precisely how I take my racers. Knife-edge frantic with a side order […]

Eurogamer 2012: In Review

October 4, 2012 by Mark Seymour

The Eurogamer Expo rumbled to a halt on Sunday evening leaving the yawning halls of Earls Court safe again from the din of gamers rapt with their Wii Us, Indie Games Arcades and booth babes. In a few short days the Expo not only brought the latest crop of pew-carnivals to the masses (there were many, many shooters on show), but demonstrated the whip hand Kinect holds over the classic controller: using Kinect might be about as much fun as wrestling […]

Mists of Pandaria

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Interview

September 26, 2012 by Mark Seymour

I had the chance to sit down with World of Warcraft Senior Designer Scott Mercer and Software Engineer Darren Williams on the eve of Mists of Pandaria’s release. We spoke about what it is about World of Warcraft aht still interests them after all this time, how they keep it interested to the diehard November 2004 guys and, of course, all things Mists of Pandaria. I’ve compiled a few of the question and answers here, and you can read the […]

Sleeping Dogs

Review: Sleeping Dogs

September 25, 2012 by Mark Seymour

The open-world sandbox genre is no longer characterised by Grand Theft Auto and its flock of drab, subservient admirers. Bad news for Sleeping Dogs.
