I should probably start by saying that this game can, on one extreme, bring the absolute best out of me while on the other it possesses the power to bring out my deepest, darkest nerd rages which probably make playing with me very unpleasant. On a good night of successful killing I can turn off [...]

Free Game Friday: Star Trek Online
It’s free game Friday once again here on Game Craic, and we’ve got a great heads up for you today. Developer Cryptic Studios released their MMO-RPG title Star Trek Online (STO) back in February 2010, and I had the game on pre-order because it looked like a promising effort indeed. It was not going to [...]
Steam App Coming To Android And iOS
I’ve wondered before why something like this hasn’t been available, particularly when there has been a sale on, but soon you will be able to access Steam through its own app on Android and iOS devices. Valve boss Gabe Newell said some things: Seeing which of your friends are online and playing a game, sending [...]
Awesomenauts
Romino Games, developers of Swords and Soldiers, are back with a brand new and absolutely mental 2D platform game titled Awesomenauts, a title that’s just as genius as Time Ducks. Awesomenauts is loosely similar to League of Legends but on a 2D platform scale in terms of game play, and is also a Multiplayer Online [...]
Blizzard Cancels Blizzcon 2012
Blizzard has blamed a packed schedule working on Mists of Pandaria, Diablo III and Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm for the delay of their fan convention Blizzcon until 2013. The usually annual gathering has missed a year before in 2006 after the first convention in 2005 attracted only 8,000 attendees. Since returning in 2007 [...]
Game Craic’s 2012 Shopping List: Part 2
Mass Effect 3: My favourite thing to do in the Mass Effect games is to speak to people. I like wandering around the Citadel chatting it up with the various aliens species that are milling about, investigating stuff or just flirting with my crew mates. Basically, everything that isn’t hiding behind crates and shooting guns [...]
Monaco
Monaco is a heist game being made by Pocketwatch Games which scooped the grand prize at the 2010 IGF Awards. It’s like Pac-Man in the slick style of Ocean’s Eleven where up to four players can work cooperatively to steal other people’s stuff and get away with it. Monaco is still very much under development, [...]
Bargain Buy: The Binding Of Isaac
I would like to bring to your attention Steam’s daily deal today. The Binding Of Isaac is available for a mere £1.99. The Binding Of Isaac is a 2D adventure game with randomised dungeons, items and enemies so the game is never the same twice. Playing as the baby Isaac you have to fight your way [...]
SOPA Stopped For Now
It should please you to know that last weeks Internet blackout worked wonders on the United States Congress as both SOPA and PIPA were put on hold on Friday. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced that a planned ballot on PIPA was to be postponed in light of the protests and shortly after Lamar Smith, the House Judiciary [...]
