Six!

/in , /by

Six is one of those games which are really infuriating but also really really addictive and will keep you stuck to your phone for hours on end – it has that “one more time” addictiveness to it. You don’t know why you put yourself through it but you do – “Just one more time, I’ll break the record this time!” – We’ve all said that at one point!

Six’s description on the app store is as follows:

“There is a tower of blocks of various shapes, upon which sits another hexagonal block. The aim of the game is to move the hexagon down the screen to earn points. To do this, you tap the different blocks, which will make them disappear. The hexagon can then fall into the empty space left behind”

Sounds easy right?! Wrong! Because that tower wobbles like you do on a Friday night! So keeping that hexagon on that tower is more difficult than you think! But don’t take our word for it, download it now and try for yourself! *Just don’t break your phone in anger. Ok.

Deus Ex – Mankind Divided

/in , /by

The guys played Deus Ex: Mankind Divided recently and they loved it! Taking place in 2029, two years after the events of Human Revolution. Much like in previous games you will take on the role of Adam Jensen, now an experienced covert agent. Now much like the guys on the show you have to decide whether or not you can go all in guns blazing or take the softly softly sneaky sneaky approach. Whatever you decide to do, we thought that you will have a lot of fun with this as there is no right or wrong way to do it, just go save the world guys!

Kill A Bit: Stranger Things Point and Click

/in , /by

“99 out of a hundred times, the missing kid is with a parent or relative.This is about that one other time.”

Freely available demo available online inspired by Stranger Things you play as police chief Jim Hopper in the early parts of the series searching for clues about why Will Byers is missing! Its very short and is a one-room, point and click adventure game and is created by Steven Alexander, James Mulvale & Jon Taylor-Stoll of Infamous Quests.

We advise that you give this a go after you have watched the series as it really wouldn’t make sense if you were to just pick up and play the game. Funk Butcher described it as an accessory to the TV show, complementing the whole mood and vibe of the show well, yet not giving anything away from the main story. Even being produced in an 8-bit style it embellishes the whole 80’s retro setting that Stranger Things has.

Kill A Bit: Resident Evil Biohazard

/in , /by

You remember when we said we liked, even loved anything Zombies and horror based? Well what we didn’t mention is that not everyone likes horror. Funk Butcher downloaded the Resident Evil: BioHazard demo on PS4 this week. Let’s just say that he didn’t help himself and his fears when he waited until dusk to play this game in the dark.

Unlike the other Resident Evil games this installment is the first one in the series to be played in first person. It follows the same premise as you would usually expect from a Resident Evil game. Survive. The game is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, “in modern day”, you are a character called Ethan, Ethan does not have combat skills like past characters, but he is in search of his missing wife and as any typical horror fan would know, it leads him to a derelict plantation mansion. Well we all know what happens then…….

There’s a total of 7 Merits for you to get your teeth sunk into and more will be released over a period of weeks.

AND if that weren’t enough there’s a new ‘Hearts and Minds 101’ Featurette that’s been released (Video Above) which highlights how you guys can perform actions in the open world of Homefront®:The Revolution, which with a bit of luck will ignite a Revolution!!!!
