Silent Hill: Homecoming
Horror Show, Z1GPosted on Wednesday, June 19th, 2013 at 9:00 AM by Joseph Butler-HartleyPlaying this game, my expectations were moulded by bias. I had been informed reliably that this was the “worst Silent hill game ever” largely because of the developer shift. Many believed that American developers wouldn’t be able to replicate the subtle, transient nature of Japanese horror. Well, they were right, but does that mean that Homecoming is a bad game?

Kinect – I Trusted You!
Gaming Fail, Z1GPosted on Tuesday, June 18th, 2013 at 6:30 AM by Drew PontikisWhen I first heard about it, I’m sure that I wasn’t the only one who thought that Project Natal would be the biggest thing to happen to the gaming since the birth of the current generation of consoles. Rumours were flying around about its capabilities; voice commands, pop up keyboards, being able to tell what sort of mood you’re in, this was the future. I should explain, I have a very rigid and opinionated view on what I consider to be the future and what is just a gadget. For example, The Kindle is the future, because it is a giant leap forward that an entire library of books can be stored on something that fits in your (admittedly oversized) pocket. The smart phone however is a gadget; it’s tacking extra functionality on to pre-existing technology. That isn’t to say that this is a bad thing; without my HTC my life would grind to a shuddering and tearful halt whilst my Kindle sits on its now empty bookshelf gathering dust.
