Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers – The Verdict

Magic 2015: Duels of the Planeswalkers – The Verdict

I still remember accidentally discovering Magic a few years back whilst trawling the latest videos on YouTube. After a couple minutes of sheer bewilderment I had skipped onto the next video thinking to myself “That doesn’t look like something I would enjoy”.

Little did I know how wrong I was.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Bioware and the Future of RPGS

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Bioware and the Future of RPGS

Today The Reticule’s (not at) E3 Speculate-athon comes to an end as I take a look at Bioware’s sacrifices to the great gods of hype. With the possible exception of Robot Chicken Reggie at Nintendo Direct, Bioware’s trailers, demos and interviews stoked my excitement glands to the point where I’m considering actually investing in a PC capable of playing their games.

Watch_Dogs – The Verdict

Spider-tank, Spider-tank, does whatever a spider-tank does…

I’ve somehow managed to open this piece without even mentioning dogs or the watching thereof; welcome to a brave new world people! Find out what I think about Watch_Dogs after the cut.

Early Access – The Forest

Early Access – The Forest

Buying games that are in Open Access on Steam can sometimes prove to be a risky decision. Some can be surprisingly pleasant, and offer countless hours of enjoyment (Starbound springs to mind), while others can leave you wondering why you even considered buying them in the first place (War Z for one).

I was met with a game with significant potential, and although it’s only v.0.02, it’s a hell of a lot more enjoyable than some fully released titles.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2

While E3 has come to an end, and many a British journalist is facing a long-slog home to face the jet-lag, we here at The Reticule are still going to have some thoughts to share on what was revealed in Los Angeles. Right now I want to take a moment to talk briefly about two games which unexpectedly caught my attention, Rainbow Six: Siege and Dead Island 2.

Non-E3 News – Euro Truck Sim 2 Going Nordic

Non-E3 News – Euro Truck Sim 2 Going Nordic

In our continued attempts here at Reticule Towers to be perceived as a legitimate emporium of games journalism, we are again eschewing the notion that E3 is all anyone cares about when the big show is taking place. I mean, don’t people want to know a little bit about the latest European Truck Simulator 2 news? I for one, most certainly do. Hit the break for the low-down.

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Zelda (!)

The Reticule (Not at) E3 – Zelda (!)

One of the biggest items to come out of the Nintendo event at E3 was something I didn’t cover yesterday. That is, of course, all things Zelda with both Hyrule Warriors and the all new, open world, The Legend of Zelda being shown off. What else do you need to know? Hit the jump for the videos and some words…
