With the year coming to a close, people are reflecting on the best games they have played in the past year. There have been some incredible new releases, from adventure games like Sea of Thieves to giant action games like Shadow of the Colossus. Here are some of the top-rated games from 2018:

• Into the Breach. This popular game from Subset Games sees the player fighting off giant monsters, fighting for the good of the planet. It’s addictive and compelling playing.
• Monster Hunter: World. This series has come into the mainstream more recently, and with this latest addition, you will continue the fun with monster hunting. It is more polished and more slick, with plenty of wide appeal.
• Iconoclasts. If your thing is pixel art and a sense of nostalgia for games gone by, this could be the perfect option for you. It has a more thought out storyline now, and combines games, puzzles and combat.

After years of complaining, Shenmue fans will finally get their wish. Yu Suzuki has confirmed that Shenmue 3 is definitely happening, with the announcement being made last night at Sony’s E3 conference.

It was revealed in an interesting way, with Suzuki also starting up a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the making of the game. Asking for $2 million worth of pledges, which was achieved within a few hours.

“I have dreamed of making this sequel for 14 years. “It is time to bring Shenmue back! And to make it come true, it will need the love and support from each and every one of you!” (Yu Suzuki)

Although the $2 million target has already been met, fans are still advised to continue donating with more targets if the figure reaches $3.5 million and then $4 million.

Shock, horror, another PS4 game is experiencing issues since its release, today’s victim – Ultra Street Fighter 4. Gamers so far, have confirmed about lag, graphical glitches, a slowdown in menu and also sound bugs.

Developers of the game Capcom, issued the following statement;

“SCEA and Capcom are currently looking into the issues that some users may be experiencing and are working to resolve them as quickly as possible. A lot of our more competitive players have wondered how the USFIV version of PS4 will affect them and the tour. 
To that we’d like to advise that the integrity of the Capcom Pro Tour is a top priority for us and we will continue to work with tournament organisers worldwide to ensure that the highest quality event will be run. Each region will maintain its current hardware standard for the remainder of the 2015 Capcom Pro Tour until otherwise announced. 

We will keep you updated as to when the PS4 version of USFIV will be integrated into the Pro Tour.”

It seems as if no game is released nowadays without a glitch. Guess it’s something we’re just going to have to get used to.

Many people love playing video games at home or at work for one reason or the other. The main reasons for playing computer games include to have fun, as a hobby or even to refresh the mind. This is a computer game designed to be a centric hub than can be integrated well with TV, movie and internet services all in a single location. Buy cheap Xbox one games and play them to experience the wonderful gaming features that comes with Xbox one.

Kinect 2

The game has Kinect 2, but it is not needed for the system to function. It is incorporated into the system of the computer and permits the customers or users to surf by making use of gesture and voice commands with the aid of user interface. A player can try some of the available voice commands such as saying “Xbox on”, which plays an important role to activate the system. Note that the console is important in the sense that it remembers what a player was doing earlier and return that screen instantly. (more…)

Former CEO of Sega’s American division – Tom Kalinske, has slated former gaming giants Sega for it’s current state in the industry, claiming that the company has been making ‘wrong decisions’ for 20 years.

Discussing the relocation of Sega’s San Francisco offices, Kalinske said the following;

“It could have been avoided if they had made the right decisions going back literally 20 years ago. But they seem to have made the wrong decisions for 20 years. You have to really make a lot of mistakes to kill a strong brand. I do think some great brands obviously have been destroyed, Atari being one of them. Why didn’t that survive? I think there’s a lot of bad decision making involved in killing brands like that. I hope Sega isn’t the same thing.”

The scathing words will come as no surprise to gamers who grew up with Sega. How they managed to go from one of the biggest gaming companies to what they are now, makes absolutely no sense. Even Sonic can’t save them.
