News::Steam Early Access Preview Endless Legend | PixelPerfectGaming

Endless Legend is a 4x strategy game by developer AMPLITUDE Studios. Still in the early stages of alpha on Steam Early Access, Endless Legend is very similar to other 4x strategy games. It shares some similarities with the Civilization series (i.e. building structures, expanding your race, etc.), but that is where the similarities end. The gameplay is so deeply entrenched in strategy that it places Endless Legend into a category all its own.

News::Paranerds>> Knightmare Tower Review

In many respects Knightmare Tower is very similar to our last review. Its straightforwards arcady action which gradually scales over time and rewards the player with ever increasing buffs. You slaughter your way through hordes of foes until final victory and at the end of the day its gaming distilled down to pure, raw, fun through relentless combat. However, theres a few things which clearly set it apart from Meltdown, the least of which is the visual style and setting.

News::Munin Review | 3rd-strike

Drydwen from 3rd-strike writes: "All-in-all the game is fine. It is not the most engaging and enjoyable puzzle game I have played to date due to the steep learning curve of the complex puzzles that is possibly slightly too steep and the tedious character control. The graphical style in Munin is visually striking and this is something that will pull many players in. Not to be feared, the soundtrack is just as brilliant as the visuals."

News::This Mayan-styled Mother Brain painting is amazing

Okay, this might very well be one of the most amazing pieces of video game art I've ever seen. It's a Mayan-styled painting by Redditor NotSureHowItGoes' wife, who is obviously quite the skilled artist.


I'm immediately drawn to how surreal she's made the Metroid Mother Brain fight, a pretty innocuous event in the game that doesn't normally affect me in the slightest. Looking at this gorgeous painting, however, I can see a disturbing side to the battle that I never even considered.


I think we can all agree she needs to make some prints of this bad boy so this work of art can be shared, am I right?

News::Transistor Review by The Black Panel

The Black Panel writes: Bastion was a wonderful debut from Supergiant Games, and could be difficult to live up to, but with Transistor theyve put in a solid attempt. Moody sound and visuals draw you into its rich dystopian world. The plots intriguing and doesnt insult your intelligence, and the combat is clever and interesting, even if it doesnt always flow smoothly.

News::Assassin's Creed: Unity's world tailor-built for co-op

GR-UK writes: While talking to mission director Bruno St-Andre about the expansion of the Assassins on new-gen (fun fact: now one in four buildings in Paris have accessible, playable interiors), he explained how all the focus was making the world work for four players at a time. "Early on we decided it'd be the shared experience. Every development part of Unity was made to favour the cooperation between players, to favour the systems of working together in cooperation and combination of players, different types of player, who have different types of skills and want to exploit them more within the progression system also."
