Reuben Williams-Smith writes: "Video games are expensive. This is an obvious and unavoidable fact. Anyone with even a cursory understanding of gaming will tell you that prices only ever seem to increase. The release of a new console generation has only hiked the price up even further; the cost of the new hardware and all the fancy next generation games making the barrier to enjoyment even less surmountable. Unless youre a PC gamer of course, in which case the prevalence of digital distribution across a variety of sales platforms mean that savings are regular and significant. However PC gaming comes with an even higher cost for initial hardware, which makes it even less appealing. But its expensive for the publishers and developers too, as the so called AAA video game market insists on graphical quality and set piece bombast, development budgets skyrocket and marketing budgets quickly follow."

Inspired by the developers’ childhood memories of moving from the countryside to urban Istanbul and the “Gezi Protests” of 2013, the most violently oppressed protest in modern Turkey, players discover the environment and follow the story through a carefully constructed black-and-white palette with splashes of red. As a result, the story is instantly understandable by players of all nationalities – without any localization required. Spread over four chapters, discover vast ghettos built upon thousands of tenement buildings that reach into the clouds, a labyrinth of sewer tunnels, factories bellowing out industrial smoke and a city sized zeppelin hovering in the sky. The puzzles encountered in Monochroma are realistic and use physics to naturally blend with the environment. Another Monochroma trademark is the relationship between the two brothers. Early in the game, the younger brother injures his leg after an accident, and must be supported by his older sibling. At times, the player needs to temporarily stop carrying him in order to solve puzzles. However he can only be placed near safe, bright areas—because like most kids, he’s scared of the dark. This gameplay mechanic defines Monochroma as a cerebral, methodical puzzle game that rewards players who are caring and brave at the same time. Being a responsible older sibling is mandatory—just as in real life.

Several years ago we, the gaming masses, were treated to a smidgen of The Last Guardian. However since then, news of this game has been naught but whispers on the wind. Is Sony treating the Last Guardian like Duke Nukem Forever? (Satire) (Humor)

Random Man from Plus XP writes: "I recently had the chance to look at some of the latest games from indie developer Curve Studios. The first game I played was Titans Attacks, a game that is a lot like a modern version of Galaga or Space Invaders. However unlike its these arcade classics there are more game play elements, such ship upgrades and new weapons. The story of Titan Attacks is very simple. Aliens have invaded and you are the one to defend the solar system. Simple and yet filled with feelings of nostalgia. For those who do not remember the the likes of Galaga or Space Invaders, you will still have fun with this game as it has quite a bit to offer. Whilst playing the game I was told that the initial starting levels, so elegantly called Earth are in fact based on Basingstoke. This was because the games lead developer worked there and said that, if aliens invaded Earth that he would think Basingstoke would be where they would start."
