News::Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons Review | GameCloud

William at GameCloud writes: "Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons is the sort of game that the industry needs. Its not indie, its not blockbuster, but instead, a small and expertly designed experience thats coming from the minds of established studios. Its arguably a bit steep with its pricing, costing around 20 dollars for just over three hours of gameplay. However, it is my opinion that this slightly higher cost is worth it. The narrative is simply outstanding and does not require dialogue to influence the player to heavily invest their emotions within such a short period of time. The puzzles are a little simple, but the satisfaction of the dual-controlled characters makes the general experience enjoyable as you traverse so many different and unique environments. Its also incredible the way the player will psychically attach themself to each stick, which is noticeably uncomfortable when one brother is missing. Its a little disappointing that the graphical design cant quite live up...

News::Assassins Creed Liberation HD Review | COIN-OP TV

Assassins Creed Liberation HD is a solid addition to the franchise. It is not a full Assassins Creed game, nor should be considered one. It is more like an appetizer of an Assassins Creed game that will tide you over until the next big slice of single-player DLC for AC4 arrives.

News::Is The Banner Saga A Bioware Plot In A Different Skin?

News::Wasteland 2 Pixel Judge preview

PJ: "There used to be a time when the term RPG did not conjure thoughts of being Biowares betrayal, Obsidians bugs, or Bethesdas rapidly declining complexity. Before that, the term would bring to mind stories with creative depth, the ability to change the world around you in meaningful and interesting ways without being hand-held all the way through and systems so complex that you needed the freaking paperback manual to wrap your head around them. Sure, they were all wrapped up in terrible UIs and dodgy controls, but it was the 80s and 90s, so we didnt know much better back then."

News::Are Game Development Costs Set to Spiral out of Control?

Dealspwn writes: Last week we learned via a Eurogamer interview, that 2013s Tomb Raider reboot only started to make a profit nine months after its March release date, despite selling 3.4 million copies in its first three weeks. If it takes that long for a game that good that sold that well to actually make money, how long can companies afford to make similar blockbuster big-budget games? Tomb Raiders budget was reportedly around £60 million ($100 million), which is probably why Square Enix set their sales targets so high (5 million units) in the first month, which would have seem them move into the black straight away.
