  • Rayman Legends

    Ubisoft Montpellier’s gleeful latest instalment in Michel Ancel’s Rayman series may have had a long and difficult journey to the shop shelves, but even after playing it for just a few minutes you realise it was well worth the wait.

  • Rayman Legends Launch Trailer

    After the fantastically fun Rayman Origins, the announcement of Rayman Legends came as a high point of E3 2012.

  • Rayman Legends

    You know the Origins… now learn of the Legend. Rayman is back, again! As one of the few 90’s platformers to survive the 3D culling of the early 2000’s, Rayman brought back the beautiful, colourful, 2D platformer with Origins and the world embraced it.

Fortunately, however, a group…

  • Fear of the Dark

    Inspired by Emily‘s recent blog about her descent into Amnesia (I’m here all night), I feel obliged to mention that she’s not the only one who isn’t that keen on horror games. You guessed it: Duncan! Me! Then again, the games that have scared me in the past haven’t exactly been what you would call…
