News::Evolve Gamescom Preview : This Is The Shooter To Be Excited About In 2015 [IBTimes UK]

When Evolve won Best of Show at E3 it came as something of a surprise. Turtle Rock Studios' Left 4 Dead follow-up wasn't the most prominent title at the LA show and it didn't make any huge announcements but it was clearly a game which made a big impression on those who played it. Perhaps publisher's 2K Games have not done enough to get people excited, but speak to those who have played the game and they'll tell you that Evolve is well worth looking forward to. IBTimes UK is one of them, having played it a few months back shortly after the game's announcement and again at Gamescom 2014.

News::New Ghost of a Tale trailer from Gamescom, shows stealth, amazing detail, and giant enemy crab

You don't know cute until you've seen a mouse in a suit of armour running away from an angry crab. Ghost of a Taleour last mention was over a year ago, when it was looking for fundingis almost too adorable to process, but I'll bravely give it a go. It's an action-adventure-stealth type thing starring a mouse with a lute on its back, and it's one that appears to be coming along exceptionally well. The following trailer was shown at Gamescom this week during Microsoft's press thingy, but rest assured that it's "primarily a PC game". It's been a long time since we covered Ghost of a Tale, so here's a quick reminder: it's a game about a mouse in a rat-eat-rat world, blending elements of action, adventure, stealth, and most of the things that lie in-between. Developer Seith wrote a few words about what we can expect, in a recent blog post talking about the trailer:

News::Music, And How It Reminds Us Of Video-Games

IM PLAYIN looks at music in video-games and how they can spark memories of the games we love. "We recently put out an article on sound in video-games, and how it was an underrated sense in the industry. The article really inspired me to think back to some of the soundtracks that I loved whilst growing up, and how they made me feel about the video-games I used to play when I was a kid. But I quickly noticed that, when I thought of certain songs they made me think of specific games; even if they werent directly related. Often, all I had to do was listen to an album whilst playing a certain game and from then on, the album and the game were forever linked. So it got me thinking about the games that I used to play, and the music that I associated with them."

What I wasn't expecting, however, was to feel sympathy for the Clickers.

What is intended to be the creepiest creature in The Last of Us ended up earning my pity. They are monsters, sure. But in my mind they are misunderstood monsters. Below, I will explain why I feel this way, and also share my thoughts on some other creatures that I believe deserve a second chance.
