L.A. Noire HD for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and more

There are some video games that are so good you'd buy them twice. One of my all-time favourite games is Rockstar Game's "L.A. Noire", originally released back in 2011 where you get to play as a detective in a film noir inspired mystery game set in Los Angeles, 1947. The city itself looks amazing and is almost the main character of the game. I love just driving around, exploring the gigantic open world.

The remastered HD version will be released for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on November 14th, along with "L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files" for HTC Vive, which features seven select cases rebuilt for VR.

Whatever you do, don't miss out on this masterpiece of a game. It's truly a must for all fans of old Hollywood and film noir. It's like living in an old movie. Pre-order your copy now from Amazon.

Outlast Trinity - The horror returns

One of the best horror video games released in the past few years is "Outlast" from 2013, developed by Red Barrels. On April 28, the sequel "Outlast 2" is finally coming out and I can't wait to play it... if I dare.

The game comes in a physical bundle called "Outlast Trinity" for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. Not only is "Outlast 2" included, the original game and its bonus chapter "Whistleblower" are included as well. You can pre-order the game now from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

"You are Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with your wife, Lynn. The two of you are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch. You're following a trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of a pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe. The investigation has led you miles into the Arizona desert, to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do."

Miss Fisher And The Deathly Maze - Digital gamebook

I adore the mystery TV series "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" starring the brilliant Essie Davis as the title role. I just watched the final episode on TV. Sadly, it seems like there won't be any more seasons. Instead they are planning to make a couple of movies about a younger Miss Fisher.

While waiting for the movies, we can enjoy the newly released gamebook "Miss Fisher And The Deathly Maze" where you can take part in solving the mystery. The first episode is available to buy for iOS. More episodes will follow soon and the gamebook will also be released for more platforms.

Eurotix - The Best Of Times (EP and video)

Artwork by Jimmy Dyrebrant.

Mine and Larry Forsberg's synthpop project Eurotix just released the new EP "The Best Of Times". The title track received the highest number of votes in a poll where our listeners got to choose the next single. The song means a lot to me since I wrote the lyrics myself and because the sound is inspired by my favourite genre: italo disco.

The EP includes a new radio edit of the title track and the bonus tracks "Face Down" – an homage to my favourite Kim Wilde track – and "You Won't See Me Dancing". Finally, we've included a Hi-NRG remix of the album track "Su-Su-Superman", inspired by the sound of iconic producer Bobby Orlando.

Check out the gay themed video down below. It was made using "The Sims 4". The EP is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US.

"The Best Of Times" tracklist:

1. The Best Of Times (Radio Edit)
2. Face Down
3. You Won't See Me Dancing
4. Hi-NRG Superman

Brothers - A Tale Of Two Sons

I recently finished playing "Brothers - A Tale Of Two Sons", a beautiful adventure game developed by Starbreeze Studios and directed by Swedish movie director Josef Fares. The game was originally released back in 2013, but in 2015, a new version was released for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, featuring enhanced graphics and bonus content. I've been playing the PS4 version and I really enjoyed it.

The game follows two brothers on a quest to find a cure for their dying father. You control both brothers at the same time, solving puzzels and travelling through the beautiful and sometimes frightening world, inspired by Nordic folklore. The story is very touching and stays with you long after you've finished playing the game.

You can order the enhanced edition of "Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons" from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection

I recently bought myself a belated Christmas gift: "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection" for the Playstation 4. I love the original games so it was great to revisit them all in full HD quality.

The collection includes newly remastered versions of "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" (2007), "Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" (2009) and "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" (2011). They are a must for any fan of action-adventures in the style of "Indiana Jones" and "Tomb Raider".

The fourth and final instalment of the series, "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End", is released later this year. While waiting for it, check out "Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection", available on Amazon UK and Amazon US.

Check out the video down below, made using the video game "The Sims 4".

Friday The 13th: The Game (Announcement Trailer)

This is the horror game you've been waiting for, brought to you by Gun Media, IllFonic, Tom Savini, Sean Cunningham, Kane Hodder and Harry Manfredini!"

Full Throttle 20th Anniversary

Wow! I can't believe the 1995 video game "Full Throttle" turned twenty the other day. I used to love it as a kid and I still enjoy going back to the game from time to time.

The environments are cool and the characters so likable. Especially Ben the biker, voiced by Roy Conrad, and my personal favourite: Maureen "Mo" Corley, voiced by Kath Soucie.

I have so many great memories playing this classic LucasArts game. Check out this new video from IGN where they revisit the game in all its glory. I agree with them, this game needs to be remastered and reissued, like "Broken Sword" and "Monkey Island".

Please make it happen, Tim Schafer!

Check out the trailer for "The Evil Witin", the new horror video game developed by Shinji Mikami, creator of the "Resident Evil" series.

"While investigating the scene of a gruesome mass murder, Detective Sebastian Castellanos and his partners encounter a mysterious and powerful force.

Facing unimaginable terror, and fighting for survival, Sebastian embarks on a frightening journey to unravel what's behind this evil force."

Until Dawn - Teen slasher video game

Check out the trailer for the upcoming video game "Until Dawn". It will be released in 2015 for the Playstation 4. Being a fan of both adventure games and horror movies, I'm very excited about this title. It looks really good. A big plus is that one of the characters is voiced by Hayden Panettiere, known from TV series such as "Heroes" and "Nashville". The game also stars Brett Dalton and Rami Malek.

"Until Dawn" tells the story of eight friends who spend the night in a mountain cabin on the anniversary of the death of one of their friends. They soon realise that they are being stalked by a clown-masked killer. The player's choices will help decide who lives and dies.

If you like teen slasher movies like "Scream" and "Friday The 13th", I'm sure you'll enjoy this game. Stay tuned for more information!

The Sims 4 - Build Mode Trailer

Last week we got to see how to create sims in the upcoming "The Sims 4". Today, another cool trailer arrived, finally showing how the new build mode works. It looks amazing, if you ask me. I guess I shouldn't be watching these trailers because they make me long for the release even more ha ha!

Pre-order "The Sims 4" from Amazon UK and Amazon US.
