Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion Introduces Friar Krap

NEWS 10 Hours Ago - 6:40 AM on 5/23/2013 by Sam Tyler

Poo, plop, doodoo, fart, stink, stench; just some names that must have gone through developer Casual Brothers' mind when thinking of names for characters in Orc Attack: Flatulent Rebellion.  None of these options cut the mustard, or the cheese, so they instead settled on Friar Krap.  Check out the biog trailer for this man of the touching cloth.

Orc Attack: Now with Added Flatulent Rebellion

NEWS 5:36 AM on 5/20/2013 by Sam Tyler

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.  Unless that rose was called Flatulent Rebellion, the new subtitle for the 4 player Hack 'n' Slash 'n' Fart game Orc Attack.  The going hasn't been easy for Orc Attack, but developers Casual Brothers are still planning to release the game on PC and other platforms.  To celebrate the new name, The Casual Brothers Grim have released a gas-centric trailer.

Go Under the Sea with the Latest Rayman Legends Trailer

NEWS 5:02 AM on 5/15/2013 by Sam Tyler

Mario has had some classic levels throughout his games; some of them great fun, but some of them spooky.  I always found the underwater levels the most worrisome and in homage to these, the developer behind Rayman Legends has produced their own.  In this latest trailer for the 4/5 player co-op, out August 30th, Rayman and two friends go underwater for some fishy slaughter.

Psycho, Propane, Crazy - New Borderlands 2 DLC Character Trailer

NEWS 6:44 AM on 5/13/2013 by Sam Tyler

It is only one day until any Borderlands 2 player willing to drop $9.99/800MSPs will get to meet the new Psycho character, Krieg.  He is lean, mean and ultra-keen to cleave you in two.  This new video highlights some of the skills that Krieg brings to the band of Vault Hunters - they mostly consist of the ability to run straight at the enemy and take a Bullymong of damage.

Seriously, Sam is back on XBLA Sale Again

NEWS 6:09 AM on 5/8/2013 by Sam Tyler

The weekly XBLA sale is the place I like to go to pick up a co-op bargain once in a while.  However, it sometimes feels like the same games appear over and over again, seriously what is the problem?  There is no problem, as long as it’s the Serious Sam games getting reduced.  The man's back catalogue is all reduced by 50% until May 13th.  Check out read more for the Serious Sam offers and the rest of the XBLA content incoming.

SimCity Patch 3.0 Detailed and Hopefully does not Destroy

NEWS 6:21 AM on 5/7/2013 by Sam Tyler

The SimCity launch was the bumpiest ride I have been on since trying to chase a wheel of cheese down the side of a Gloucester hill.  Patches have been and gone; some fixes made, but new bugs created.  The game is more stable now, but fixes are still required.  Therefore, hooray for Patch 3.0, the latest update that hopes to improve Traffic and Transit in particular.

Rayman Legends Gets Musical Mariachi Style

NEWS 7:23 AM on 5/3/2013 by Sam Tyler

Rayman Legends was coming out on Wii U, then it disappeared, only to re-announce across several platforms.  What is going on and who really cares?  I do, if the game contains more levels like the latest trailer.  In Mariachi Madness you must complete a level whilst producing sweet music in the style of a Mariachi Band.  The trailer shows off 'Eye of the Tiger'.

Terraria XBLA Patched and Detailed

NEWS 6:51 AM on 5/2/2013 by Sam Tyler

World building used to be easy, you would simply become the biggest bloke in the tribe and go and invade a neighbouring village.  For some reason this is now frowned upon, so we must play games like Terraria to get our megalomaniac hit.  The game launched March 27 on XBLA and we gave it an iffy 2.5 out of 5, some bugs needed to be fixed.  Attempts have been made to improve the experience so check out the full list of fixes and updates that will hit next time you boot up the game.

A Stonewall Character Bio for Scourge: Outbreak

NEWS 6:30 AM on 4/29/2013 by Sam Tyler

Another day, another character bio trailer for Scourge: Outbreak.  This time it is the very Olde English sounding character called Stonewall.  You may think that his power is a detailed knowledge of Hadrian's Wall, but you would be wrong.  He is in fact a rounded Biotech character that you can use in this 4 player co-op shooter coming soon to PC, PSN and XBLA.

The New D'n'D: Chronicles of Mystara Trailers Show Their Class(es)

NEWS 6:15 AM on 4/25/2013 by Sam Tyler

I was always more of a Warhammer fan growing up, but that does not stop me from having a soft spot for Dungeons and Dragons, especially in the form of 4 player co-op D&D: Chronicles of Mystara.  This combo pack of D&D games is coming in June across PC, XBLA, PSN and Wii U.  For any RPG game to work you need to know what class to play - hence these new Fighter and Cleric trailers.

ARTICLES BY Sam Tyler


When he finally managed to get a go on his older brother’s brand new ZX Spectrum, unbeknownst to Sam he was embarking on a lifetime love of games and being British. When Sir Clive Sinclair stopped making computers Sam had to admit that he needed to buy some consoles made further afield and he has not looked back since; owning every single console since the Super Nintendo.

As one of four, he learned fast to share a multi-tap and play games such as ‘Bomberman’ and ‘Snowboard Kids’. Now as a Librarian he believes in world peace and harmony, shunning the world of competitive gaming in favour of co-op. You can find him online in a variety of places from shooting terrorists in ‘Rainbow 6 Vegas’ to tending his garden in ‘Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise’.

As a Librarian, Sam is also an avid reader and would encourage you all to try a book once in a while (and keep him in a job).
