Fancy setting us a gaming challenge? Get in touch here!

Ever wondered how blending genres could create the ultimate gaming experience? This week, we tackle the disappointment surrounding the Lord of the Rings game, Gollum, and discuss how it could have been saved with more interactive choices and better user interfaces. We also debate the best ways to combine shooter, football manager tactics, and FPS style multiplayer to create a truly unique gaming experience.
We dive into our exciting real-time strategy shooter game concept, envisioning a blend of Total War and Call of Duty where players customize units and formations in thrilling scenarios. Get ready for the hilarious outcomes when plans don't go as expected and the satisfaction of watching your grand strategy unfold in real-time.
Lastly, we explore the idea of limiting information in war games to create a more realistic and challenging experience. Discover how combining the strategic elements of Total War with the action of Call of Duty can lead players to make heart-pounding decisions and rely on AI to make tactical decisions in real time. You won't want to miss this genre-blending episode of the Gaming Blender!
