News::Not Every Video Game Trailer Is A Giant Lie

We live in a crazy, perverted world. A world where, in many ways, a video game's trailer is more important than the game itself, since it's the former that can often be solely responsible for sales of the latter.

News::Xbox boss on Rare in a post-Kinect Sports world

Rare's time in the sun may be a distant memory, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer still feels the developer has bright days ahead. Speaking with CVG, Spencer said the British studio "should, can and will be" an important part of Microsoft's future in gaming.

Once one of the most prolific studios in the medium, Rare has seen its currency fade since ending its partnership with Nintendo to become a Microsoft subsidiary. The developer is most recently responsible for the Kinct Sports franchise, which is no longer viewed as a priority, given poor sales and Microsoft's recent decision to de-emphasize Kinect.

"Right now with Rare we're at a point where I don't want the Rare brand to mean Kinect Sports," Spencer said. "The Rare brand can be more valuable to them, to us and to gamers than that.

"I think it's about them thinking about the next game that's going to be the next 'Rare game' and really stand for what they are," Spencer continued. "I know they've got some great ideas."

Rare 'will be an important part of our future', says Xbox boss [CVG]

News::Risen 3: Titan Lords (PC) Review | 411mania

411mania For as much as I liked Risen 2, I felt at odds with Risen 3. Functionally, they appear to be the same game, but Risen 3 just feels like its a sloppily made expansion, not a full-fledged sequel. There are some good elements to it, and if you really loved Risen 2, then this game offers more of that to you, but it didnt feel as unique as Risen 2 ultimately did, and it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Gameinformer: "One of the biggest disappointments coming out of E3 was the lack of any Nintendo news regarding the company's popular Metroid series.

Over the years there have been a number of great releases that have emulated Metroid's exploration-based gameplay in a variety of original ways. Here are some of the best non-Metroid, Metroid-like games that any fan of the series should make a point of adding to their gaming catalog. "

One Angry Gamer "One of the upcoming games set to release exclusively on Steam this summer is a remake of the classic multiplayer dungeon-crawler, Gauntlet. The game comes courtesy of Arrowhead Game Studios and Warner Bros. Entertainment. It takes the four classic heroes of legend and puts them back into the loot-and-grind dungeon setting as up to four players, either locally or via online play, can dive into the game and earn new armor, items and weapons while killing countless foes. Its like the original Diablo before there even was a Diablo."

News::Clockwork Empires Does Not Yet Run Like the Obvious Simile | Hardcore Gamer

HG: One cant help feel a bit like a frontiersman when they boot up an early access game. Along with the promise of new discovery, early adopters are faced with threats from all sides. Not threats on their lives, mind you (unless they're epileptic I suppose), but threats of wasted time. Crashes, bugs, and even the updates designed to fix them can all wipe away precious progress. That in mind, it was with trepidation that I stepped into the world of Clockwork Empires.
