News::Titanfall hands-on - PCGamesN

PCGamesN: The best bit of Titanfall is losing. The game doesnt just end, you see. Instead, you have to flee to an evac point in the corner of the map without getting killed by the winners. Your team get bonus experience for every member that makes it to safety, and the opposition get experience for every one of you they can kill. What makes it so good is that every player has a jetpack-powered double jump and can wallrun. When the game ends your whole team turns around and begins leaping into the air, looking to get out of the fight they were eager to dive into a moment before. Players are springing through windows, running along walls, and generally making like Mirrors Edge. Its a wicked sight to behold. But theres so much else to love about Titanfall.

News::The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt impressions | PCGamesN

PCGamesN: "After seeing The Witcher 3 I have a suspicion its something special. Its much more than a prettier looking, more open version of The Witcher 2. It looks like a game by developers who finally have the experience and resources to make what theyve always wanted: an open world RPG, full of choices with no right answers, the consequences of which can be brutal and far reaching. It also has exploding crows."

News::Shadow play: first look at Dragon Age: Inquisition in action | OXM UK

OXM UK: "Who expects the Spanish Inquisition? Pretty much everybody, as it turns out. BioWare's third Dragon Age is a predictable response to widespread disappointment over the second - it's the first game again, but shot full of horse testosterone and with the benefit of more recent thinking on open world RPG design. The developer has a slightly gentler way of putting this, of course. Inquisition is 'the game we've been striving to make since the series began', producer Cameron Lee explains when I stop by to see his latest work in action."

GR:Poor Crestwood. We wanted to save it from the burning fires of the Templars, we really did--but they were also attacking one of our Keeps, a valuable strategic resource. As the Inquisitor, we had to make a tough choice, and seeing as we needed to build and maintain an organization to take on the demonic forces of the Fade, that choice was obvious.

News::Destructoid- Dragon Age: Inquisition Preview

DT:As much as I love Bioware's style of creating compelling companions and giving the player agency to make choices that ultimately affect the overarching narrative, I have never been able to get into the Dragon Age series, no matter how much I've tried. This might be because I started with Dragon Age 2, and ended when I tossed my controller in disgust at the combat that seemed at turns frustrating and tiresome. I knew that beyond the repetitive battles there existed a truly interesting story with well developed companion characters, but the spawning waves of enemies seemed like such a lazy design choice and I couldn't forgive the game for wasting my time in that way.

Heres a rundown of my first impressions of the game which, although its more than a year from release, is looking far more fleshed out than I expected."

News::Dragon Age: Inquisition brings playable Qunari, keeps and greater control | Polygon

Polygon: "BioWare calls Inquisition its biggest Dragon Age game to date. That's a common video game sequel claim, but at PAX Prime, the developer showed off a section of the game set in an area called Crestwood, a location that executive producer Mark Darrah said is bigger than the entirety of Dragon Age 2. As a result, BioWare has added mounts that helps speed up the travel across Inquisition's vast land. While not quite an open world, the areas of Dragon Age: Inquisition are massive and sprawling, and, based on the demo of Crestwood that BioWare showed at PAX, offer memorable moments of cresting a vista and seeing the vastness of Dragon Age's fantasy land."

14 years is a long time for a series to lie dormant, but there must be something in the air this year with both Rise of the Triad and Shadow Warrior getting rebuilt from scratch. The new Shadow Warrior de-ages Lo Wang a few decades, turning him into a smart-assed employee of Zilla Corporation, trying to broker a deal between Zilla and the possessor of a unique sword. Things go bad, demons attack, Lo Wang merges with a helpful demon and starts learning new skills and Ki powers, and a whole load of monsters get vivisected into their component parts. Shadow Warrior is bloody, brutal, violent, and surprisingly pretty.

News::Review: Open Me!

Augmented Reality games tend to be very hit or miss, with the majority falling squarely in the "miss" category. Either they don't quite fit well within the reality setting, or they don't do enough to capture your attention to keep you playing for very long -- and all of them seem to have issues with their core gameplay design of augmenting your reality.

Open Me!, however, hopes to eschew those hindrances with a unique take on the AR theme, while offering some truly challenging puzzles. Be warned though: playing this game can end up being more of a workout than you bargained for.

News::Guns of Icarus Online (PC) | FTG Review

FTG Writes: And we went down in flames. Guns of Icarus Online has moments of that level of intensity in the team-based airship combat game. The airships themselves look like a cross between the first vessels that were sailing around the world and a dirigible. Players pick one of three roles to play on the airship either captain, engineer, or gunner, and enter the fray against enemy airships. The match options are the standard fare of deathmatch, capture the flag, or resource run. The matchmaking is well defined and easy to navigate, which is good because this is an online versus-only game. Guns of Icarus Online has a community of what youd expect, ranging from the really cool players to the people youd Falcon Punch in the throat if they ever spoke to you like that face to face. Oh, internet, you and your anonymity.

After a series of improbable events, the protagonist (referred to as The Boss or The Playa throughout the game) finds himself/herself as the president of the United States. The presidential cabinet is filled with the main crew of the last game and other old faces stop by that fans of the series will remember. Oh and Keith David is the vice president.
