News::The Last Door: Collectors Edition Review - Pixel Related

Games with a Lovecraftian theme are somewhat rare, even with more and more independent games with a wider array of subject matter. When one comes out, it usually can be either a total disappointment or an absolutely excellent interpretation of the common elements found within H.P. Lovecrafts work. The Last Door, however, neither excels nor fails in its attempt. Rather, it ends up being a fairly innocuous experience that is over before it even begins.

News::Watch Dogs review - LogiaGamer

Let's leave it clear from the outset: Watch Dogs is NOT better than GTA V The comparison is valid because the title Rockstar is taken as a clear influence on many of its mechanical. since the button to steal vehicles, animations (like breaking glasses with the elbow), the music change, the command to use the phone, and even the passage of time and save when we are in a shelter. The result is somewhat different, as though unable to overcome the basis of their source of inspiration, if he can successfully take advantage of an intuitive mechanical hack. Watch Dogs is perhaps a victim of its own marketing campaign and excessive expectations of the players, resulting in a title that meets, but without being "next generation experience" might seem at first.

News::Shadowcrypt Mashes Zelda II and Castlevania into New PC Game

Carl Williams writes, "2D Side scrolling action games are an endangered species on consoles, arguably the birthplace of this genre. That is fact, for proof just look at the lack of this genre on the store shelves at the local game store. On PCs though, this genre is flourishing nicely, especially in the indie community- for proof just look at just about any digital store such as Steam or Desura. One such game, Shadowcrypt by One Bit Punch Games, is in the works and is squarely in this retro genre. Mixing Zelda IIs side scrolling motif with Castlevania challenge and austhetics, Shadowcrypt is coming along nicely."

News::Review: Wolfenstein: The New Order | Rely on Horror

Rely On Horror: The FPS genre has its fair share of mediocre, uninspired, and vanilla shooters where the act of shooting bad guys becomes tiresome and uninteresting. Having little experience with the Wolfenstein series, I feared that any redeemable aspects of the game would go over my head as feelings of nostalgia from referential content would be lost on me. Admittedly, there were a lot of pessimistic feelings entering the game. But I'm happy to say I underestimated Wolfenstein: The New Order - what I expected to be just another shooter turned out to be a very solid one with a surprisingly emotional and intelligent story.

News::Review of Watch Dogs [Kuma Kreations Ent]

Kuma Wrote: Who could imagine that one could have the power over a city from one little device, well that's the world we live in right now with everything controlled by computer chips. This is the paranoia most feared for years and technically we are in that age. It can be from your android or I-devices to get into the grid and just wreak havoc, but what if you wanted to make a difference and try to help those in need? Will you be okay with that notion even though your privacy is invaded? For Aiden Pearce is on the hunt for redemption for his niece he lost almost a year ago, because of his deeds, he put his family in danger. The problem is that they are still in danger and as long as the faceless voice is still out there, he can't rest until justice is served. Welcome all to this review of Watch Dogs, this will have two portions of a video and written. Please enjoy.

News::Titanfall Capture The Flag Mode Makes Return Based On Fan Feedback (But Not Their Gameplay History)

Hardcore Gamer: Good thing Respawn listened to their fans and brought back the highly innovative "sit around and wait for nothing to happen" game mode that was a big hit with people who loved Titanfall but also wanted to fall asleep. Fans of the mode were quick to point out, however, that if they wanted to sit around and wait for a match wasn't it their right to do so? And, more importantly, now that they identified a problem with the matchmaking for this mode couldn't they, oh, I don't know...fix it? Their solution to fixing the problem was to take the mode out behind a shed and beat it with a shovel, then drag its mangled body back out in front of its audience and proclaim, "Look! We fixed it!"
