GFN: Shadow of the Beast was an interesting title that we got the chance to see and play while at E3 2015. The game resembles Apotheon, and has a reminiscent feel to a fight scene in god of war. It’s a bloody good time in a metaphoric and literal sense of the word. The game is a gore fest with you controlling a demon-like character. You can pull off multiple combos, but as your rage meter fills up and is unleashed by you, you will enter into a state of pure gore, demolishing enemies left and right as your character has a qte (quick time event) that pops up to let you know what to press. It’s very fun and very bloody, it’s something your definitely going to enjoy.
While at E3, I met the very humble developer who had played the game as a child, and was now recreating it. The result is a promising game with exciting combat with a lots of potential that has yet to be realized. Shadow of the Beast may be one of the sleeper hits that make it on the Psn in the near future. I got my hands on with the game and really enjoyed the game so much that I had to sit down and ask more details about the game. We talk a lot about the combat, environmental aspects, as well as why this game was re-imagined.

Dragon Gaming recently published an article on Welsh representation in gaming. The article was comprehensive enough – covering big hitters such as Assassin’s Creed IV and Ni No Kuni, as well as some lesser-known games, people and companies. It seems, however, that they missed quite a few neat cases of Welshness in the industry. Many people in the community reached out to them on Twitter and Reddit, pointing them to check out some of the examples they missed, so check out they did. Here’s a little more representation of Wales and the Welsh in video games – straight from the community.
There’s a free dynamic PS4 theme on the PlayStation Store that UK residents can download at no cost. Lovely stuff, right? Now you can see it running in action - and it looks pretty damn fine.
The UK PlayStation crowd often gets some decent freebies that make their North American counter-parts green with envy.
I like what I see so far. I can't wait until this game is released.
If I had one complaint though, it's how Aarbron's face looks. I miss the deformed elongated almost-Lovecraftian face he had from the old games:
