News::Contrast review | CheatMasters

By avoiderdragon:The good thing about puzzle adventure games is that you get the balance between subdued but interesting gameplay and storytelling. There are some good ones that have no story at all, but they make up for it with the sense of wonderment that one feels upon discovering something new along the way. This game though does have a story, and its coupled with a visual style that could turn quite a few heads. Its called Contrast, and it looks pretty good, but plays just alright.

The dialogue in Nowhere Boys: The 5th Boy is a little cheesy, especially compared to the TV show which is well written and has some great acting. But it's a minor problem, and overall this was a fun title.

News::Explore the stars in Hello Games' No Man's Sky

The makers of Joe Danger are back with a completely different type of game. No Man's Sky is a procedural exploration title that debuted at the Spike VGX awards. It looks freakin' incredible.

Hello Games' Sean Murray dropped by to chat about the project. It will always be presented in first-person, and if you see a mountain, you can go to it. Kind of neat. But if you see another planet, you can hop in your ship and go to that too, and the same goes for stars in the sky at nighttime -- those are real and can be traveled to.

Murray says there's combat in space and on individual planets, and although No Man's Sky is being described as exploratory, it's not just wandering about passively. Planets have an ecosystem and you're not necessarily at the top of the food chain. Also, it would seem that players are "in the same universe and there is persistence there." Crazy!

News::Telltale, Gearbox team up for Tales from the Borderlands

For the first reveal of this year's VGX, a Telltale logo showed up on a vending machine, with very Telltale-esque cel-shading. Not so Telltale was the music, which was clearly a Borderlands guitar riff. Yep, Telltale is making an adventure game set in the Borderlands universe.

Considering the great work that Telltale has done recently with The Walking Dead and A Wolf Among Us, this could turn out to be a pretty fitting collaboration. The goofy, brutal world of Pandora could be a great fit for an adventure game.

In the reveal trailer, two new characters were shown, but all we know about them is that they are not Vault Hunters like the typical Borderlands protagonists. That, and that Handsome Jack wants to kill them, of course.
