Abstract: What a year! With the long awaited releases of both Final Fantasy XV and now The Last Guardian it seems that only Half-Life 3 is left in the ‘for-God's-sake-will-you-please-just-release-it-already' category. And after such long waits the first question is...

The Last Guardian uses the characters' vast differences in size and abilities to set up some ingenious spatial puzzles. Trico often acts as a mobile platform. Your character can climb onto his back and access areas that are otherwise impossible to reach...
The Last Guardian is beset by performance problems, camera complaints, and feline frustrations, and your enjoyment of the game will to a large extent hinge on how much these bother you. Some will probably find that these flaws get in the way of the game a...

The Last Guardian has old school roots but is a very modern game. In an age where the top titles are effectively action movies you control, this is an indie classic that you'd happily sit in a trendy London cinema to see.The 12-hours of play time are frau...

Abstract: The worst moments are sometimes the greatest moments. For 20 minutes last Wednesday I stood by an expanse of cold water, in an ancient hall that had become home to a vast, lapping pool, and I tried to get my companion, a three-storey motley of house cat...

No. Though Team Ico's fans have been waiting a long time for The Last Guardian, the game just does not live up to their enthusiasm. There are some gamers — people who have kept up with the long story of The Last Guardian's development — who may get a kick...

Abstract: “I awoke to find myself in a strange cave.”This is the fairy tale opening of Fumito Ueda's heavily anticipated game, 10 years in the making and only the forty-six year old Japanese director's third major work. But then, of course, the first two – Ico and...
