Just when we thought this game could not get anymore awesome! They had to go and upload this. The trailer, which I have embedded (hopefully) down below shows the sheer power of the upcoming Batmobile which players can drift around the streets of Gotham in Arkham Knight.
Crysis creators Crytek have just announced their take on the Left4Dead style 4 player shoot-em up with HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age. Whilst this seems to be a generic thing in games nowadays I have high hopes for this addition to the genre. Giving Crytek’s already sterling reputation for high quality games there is a lot on the line for them with this announcement.
According to Twitter it seems that rapper Wiz Khalifa and Mortal Kombat Creator Ed Boon have teamed up to being the news to the fans in an ever so subtle way.
We here at Akroview try to be diverse in the games that we play, it can be boring being tied down to a specific genre. So I decided to hunt down some games that don’t really fit in with the usual norm that is the current landscape, and I stumbled upon possibly one of the most beautiful rhythm games that I have played so far, Deemo!
Deemo is a very simple game but with a very complex story, I’m still not 100% in it but this is what I’ve gathered so far. Deemo is a slendermanesque figure who is destined to a life of solitude and loneliness, with his only companion being an old piano to which he makes the most beautiful music! Then all of a sudden, a young girl falls from the sky beside Deemo, not knowing what to do with this new-found companion. He decides to help the girl get back to wherever she came from. Whenever the piano is played a tree starts to grow from the top of it, and by playing songs on the piano maybe he can send the girl back home! (more…)

Ever felt the need to bash the joker to near death as Wonder Woman whilst on the bus to work and then remember that you only have an android device?! Well if you did then you will be relieved to find out that it is now possible to do that now that Injustice: Gods Among Us has arrived on the Google Play Store and will be on Amazon App Store soon! This trailer was just released and shows off the sheer power of the Android OS. Using swipes and taps to pull off special moves this seems to be a must have for all fans of the game, which is already out on current gen consoles and according to the press release we recieved it will also be available from November 29th on the Playstation 4.

The Xbox One World Tour has graced the emerald Isle for the weekend and lucky Xbox enthusiasts will be able to test out their favourite games before the official launch next week. I got to go to a special preview and got hands on with the Xbox One. I walk into the hall and there it was, the future of gaming, sitting there in front of me. I never would’ve thought that I would be able to get to play this console until sometime next year but there it was and the staff member hands me the controller and asks will I play him in a vs. match of the new Killer Instinct. How could I refuse!
This event was mainly showcasing the launch titles that the Xbox One has to offer and didn’t really touch on the hardware side of things. But I will say this, the controller feels so much better than the previous 360 pad. It feels lighter, more streamlined and fits to your hands so damn perfectly it’s insane. Eliminating the bulky battery back to make it lighter and giving the player more freedom to rest their fingers on the back of the controller was a great touch. I did feel that the bumper buttons (LB & RB) felt quite stiff at times and during a game of COD: Ghosts i really had to search for the buttons and press down very sharply to get them to throw the grenade.

Rockets have just announced that they will release a secondary trailer for GTA V in just under a fortnight.
This is a welcome break after a very long stretch of no information, only just a quick screening of the game to the press in October, which sadly we couldnt attend (maybe one day!) However we should get some news about the screening sometime this week.
Rockstar seems to be very excited about this new addition to the series and plan to make it the best GTA so far claiming that they will use everything they’ve learned about open world game mechanics to make it that much more enjoyable!
So keep your eyes peeled for the trailer here on November 14th, hopefully you won’t be too busy playing Black Ops 2!
