News::Project CARS Keeps Impressing Us With Its Visuals - New Community Screenshots

DSOGaming writes: "Ah, the beauty of Project CARS. Its not stretch to say that Slightly Mad Studios racer looks more impressive than all the upcoming next-gen racing games, meaning that it sports visuals better than those of Forza 5. Truth be told, Slightly Mad Studios will have more time to tweak, adjust and enhance its title as its planned for a mid 2014 release, but even in its current alpha state, this racer looks awesome."

Plus XP contributor CJ writes "A massively overlooked platformer, for kids of all ages, for under seven quid? Surely folks would be talking about such a thing? They should be. Superfrog HD. The game is cross-buy on PS3 and Vita, the latter of which is where Ive played the game exclusively [but both systems can share saves between them if needs be]. Moreover, its actually been my most played game on Sonys handheld since I purchased one a few weeks back, beating out many a higher profile title including the much vaunted Rayman Legends."

Bethesda is among those throwing their hat in the ring with The Evil Within.

News::ARMA 3 Review | RealGamerNewz

Josh of RealGamerNewz writes, "Arma 3 comes from Bohemia Entertainment and they are the people behind the whole Arma series so there is lots of progression coming into Arma 3. Bohemia has also made possible one of the most popular mods for Arma 2 and that is DayZ which was created by Dean Rocket Hall and took the PC gaming market by storm thanks to DayZ bringing a realistic zombie survival experience to the PC Gaming and Mod Community to Arma 2 and now Bohemia will move forward with that mod by publishing a more polished release of the mod called DayZ Standalone. But none of that would have been possible if it werent for the already critically acclaimed Arma series which is huge with military simulation crowds and is really just a great time for those who can appreciate the Real Virtuality 3 Game Engine."

With no competition at the moment, NBA 2K14 stands as the best you can do in terms of basketball games. The inclusion of great new modes and all the great gameplay we've come to love, it's a great way to spend a few hours. Still, some of the game feels dated and the visuals could've been improved in some ways, but none of this detracts from what is easily worth your $60.

Valve's specs have 3 GB of video memory, but retail GTX Titans only come in 6 GB models at the moment, which could represent a cost savings. The 1 TB hard drive is also a straight 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, not the Hybrid SSHD that Valve is calling for, meaning their drive is probably more expensive.

Boucher-Vidal: For gameplay, I'd say it's a mix of Ace Combat, Armored Core, Star Fox, good Star Wars games, Freelance, Star Control, Magic The Gathering, DotA and many others. I also had this idea that dogfighting was usually a little lackluster in most space sims and required to be faster and closer to be more satisfying."

The game is all about living life, making choices, and witnessing the consequences of those choices. This game is not afraid to make you feel uncomfortable, or question your sense of morals. Its goal is to get you to reflect on your own life, think about the choices you have made, and imagine how different everything in your life would be if you had made just one different choice. It looks like it could be a pretty incredible game, one that many people should be able to relate to.
