News::Fully playable mode found hidden on GoW: Judgment
Some clever little birds went snooping around in Gears of War: Judgment 's code, and ended up finding a fully playable, locked mode called Warzone.
Naturally the assumption is that the mode is another case of on-disc DLC, but Epic denied this, saying it was simply a remnant of code that should not be there at all. Microsoft has since confirmed this as well, adding that the mode is not intended to be released in the future as paid or free downloadable content.
It's not the most common sight to see these days. Stories such as this are usually relegated to tales of game development in years passed, when tech limitations forced you to bury code rather than remove it.

News::Video Games That Make You Feel Like Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones is not the only one solving annoying ancient puzzles in haunted caves, armed with a whip and dynamites, far from civilization. A setting like this is perfect for video games, so it is no surprise that many were influenced by the character, and the similarities in some cases are amazing.

News::GDC: Activision showcases its new ugly man tech
This week at the Game Developers Conference, Activision shared images and a real-time video demonstration of character tech during a talk about rendering realistic people without dipping into the uncanny valley.
While not all of the individual pieces are there quite yet -- technical director Jorge Jimenez himself admits that hair, teeth, and eyebrows are areas for improvement -- this is admittedly impressive work. In particular, the eyes (check out further images on GameSpot) look remarkable.
Ball is in your court, Quantic Dream.

These might be the most important words in comics: "Hey, have you read that?" The medium's lifeblood has always been the word-of-mouth that passes from one reader to another. The only query that might surpass the above is "So, what'd you think?"

News::The Swapper deserves your attention
PAX East had a ton of indie games on display this year, and while many of them looked great, only a handful stopped me dead in my tracks as I became mesmerized by what was happening on-screen.
The Swapper was one such game, a Metroidvania-style platformer with a mechanic that reminded me somewhat of The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom where you have to create multiple versions of yourself in order solve puzzles.

News::Injustice: Gods Among Us demo drops next week
NetherRealm Studios has shared its plan to put out a demo for Injustice: Gods Among Us on April 2 on North American PlayStation Network and a day later on European PSN and Xbox Live.
Naturally, the first thing that we'd want to know is who's playable and we've got that list, though it's unfortunately far from extensive: Batman, Wonder Woman, and Lex Luthor will be featured. As for the map, it's the Gotham City arena.
These days, it's rare from me to bother grabbing a demo unless it's of a genre that I'm not particularly into but think might be up my alley regardless. In the case of Injustice, that sounds about right. Definitely curious to give this a try.

News::Creative Assembly announces free-to-play Total War: Arena
Announced at a Game Developers Conference talk by lead designer James Russel, Creative Assembly will be trying its hand at free-to-play gaming with Total War: Arena . Going in a slightly different direction, this new title is said to be entirely multiplayer-based and a mix of elements from real-time strategy and MOBA gameplay.
The press release mentions that players will "pitch history's greatest commanders and their armies against each other in massive team-based battles," suggesting that Arena won't be tied down to one specific historical period. At the aforementioned link you'll find sign-ups for an upcoming closed beta. I'm hopeful Creative Assembly can tackle F2P in a relatively consumer-friendly way, but failing that, we've still got Total War: Rome II to anticipate.
