News::Fable: The Lost Chapters Retrospective Review

Continue Play: "In many ways, Fable: The Lost Chapters is a game built upon crushingly huge amounts of potential, and it shows. As it is, its a vibrant, lively, wonderful world of eccentricities and witticisms and people puking from too much alcohol. But its a game with the chance to be much more than that, and were not talking about oak trees growing in real time or everything changing to the world around you. No, were talking about the games willingness to play around with Monomythic tropes without ever challenging them."

News::Ittle Dew Review - PixlBit

PixlBit | "Its hard not to appreciate games like Ittle Dew. Rather than chart new territory, Ludosity has created a solid Zelda send-up that focuses on charm, humor, and inspired block puzzles. While Zelda games offer up plenty of block puzzles of their own, Ittle Dew puts together some more complex challenges that will flex your mental muscle until the very end. Though an enjoyable romp, Ittle Dews various technical issues and finicky controls put a damper on some of the fun. "

GameZone's Jake Valentine: "A reboot may just be what the doctor ordered for the DOOM franchise. DOOM 3 released in 2004. That's ten years ago, so don't be too surprised if people have stopped caring about the game. The FPS genre has shunned its grandfathers in favor of Halo or Call of Duty."

News::Shovel Knight Review (Wii U) | GamerSyndrome

GS Writes: "Everything considered, Shovel Knight is without a doubt one of the best retro-styled games released in the past few years. The team has taken all the best features of classic platform games, tweaking them so that they could work together, and added some more modern features that dont make the game just feel like a nostalgic experience, but a fresh and incredibly engaging platform game. Highly recommended to all platform games fans."

News::Space Engineers Preview | CanadianGamer

Steve Marchese of CanadianGamer writes : Over the past 2 weeks I have been taking part in the Steam Early Access release of a game called Space Engineers for the purpose of reviewing. I should mention that Early Access is a system I very much feel is broken at this stage and I generally dont trust games that go through development this way but I will leave that for another topic at another time. Space Engineers is a voxel sandbox type game in which you are an astronaut in the deep reaches of space and you are to mine asteroids for minerals in order to build tools, ships, and space stations. The game is being developed by an indie studio called Keen Software House which is based out of the Czech Republic. The game was released as an alpha in October of 2013 and is available as Ive mentioned on Steam Early Access for $19.99 USD or you can buy the 4 pack for you and 3 friends for $59.99 USD.
