News::Turning A Cold Shoulder Never Alone Review | GIZORAMA

Tyler Mitchell, GIZORAMA - "The video game industry has, for a long time, been pretty bad about representing any culture outside of the heterosexual male (mostly Caucasian) experience. Women, people of color, and the LGBT community and cultures have largely been relegated to the sidelines, and when a game comes along to feature a character from one of these communities, its hard not to take notice. Never Alone comes from Upper One Games, who worked alongside Cook Inlet Tribal Council an organization that works with native groups in Alaska and places an indigenous tribal tale at the center of its game. Its an effort that should be applauded, if only because its such a unique and fun story that feels appropriately respectful of its source material. Unfortunately, most of the fun is drained from the gameplay experience due to floaty controls and several frustrating technical issues."

News::Divine Souls Beta Preview

Divine Souls may not be not the best action MMORPG to come out this year, but it could certainly be a contender. In closed beta it had a number of bugs, none entirely game breaking, but those have been mostly addressed and corrected just in time for the impending open beta. So what is Divine Souls? Does it have anything that sets it apart from the current grind of MMORPGs on the market? There are a few bad things about it, Ill admit, but overall, the game does deliver some overwhelmingly good elements.

News::The Marvellous Miss Take Review | RyattaReviews

The Marvellous Miss Take does what few games are currently doing, putting a strong female in the lead roll. Though youll see a fair few inspirations from Lara Croft and the gameplay is clearly inspired by the early Metal Gear Solid games. The Marvellous Miss Take is a stunning little game that plays well, though perhaps under-developed on the story side as well as perhaps taking a marvelous miss step in not having a much humor as they perhaps could have in a game such as this it could have easily been an amazing parody game.

News::Endless Legend Review | WGTC

Chaz from We Got This Covered wrote: Looks can be deceiving. At a quick glance, Endless Legend appears to be just another run of the mill 4X game with a fantasy aesthetic. However, it really only takes a few turns with the game before you realize that Amplitude Studios really set out to make something special here. Old ideas are given a fresh coat of paint and enough polish to keep you coming back, and theres enough ingenuity here to keep you on your toes. Its definitely not a perfect game, but its a fantastic experience offered by a company determined to leave their mark on the genre.

News::Far Cry 4: The Kotaku Review

Kotaku: I love the idea of another Far Cry game that doesn't have to settle for wanton destruction in service of silly funone that can explore complex issues about terrorism, military rule, and political upheaval. But that's not really what Far Cry 4 is right now, despite its efforts. It's a game that speaks a very specific languageone of violence in service of no greater purpose than being able to produce bombastic, explosive, hilarious moments. And it's exceedingly well-versed in that language.

Tropico 5 puts you in the position of a dictator, but in a humorous fashion. Whereas SimCity is built on competently implementing stable infrastructure, Tropico 5 is more focused towards unholy politics and power-play. You are in charge of a small banana republic and your family is responsible for getting it through various memorable times in history. This means that world politics have a heavy influence on your community. Evolving is mostly based on very unethical tactics.

News::Randals Monday Review: A Case of the Mondays - Pixel Related

Randals Monday is, if nothing else, a weird game. Clearly inspired by Kevin Smith, the game uses characters and voice actors from the View Askewniverse, yet at the same time is clearly not taking place in that same world. The game uses a lot of referential humor, while at the same time it often avoids outright saying what the references are from. But strangest, and perhaps most frustrating of all, is that its a point and click adventure game with what feels like the same amount of dialog as a Bioware game.

Dominic Sheard: "More often than not petitions are usually worthless in trying to convince someone, or in this case, a publisher, to do something that you feel would be worthwhile for yourself and everyone else who supports that notion. Since January 2014, there has been a petition floating online that is trying to get Sega to bring some of their well-known titles to the PC. These include such hits as Bayonetta, Vanquish and Virtua Fighter 5, but tucked away on this list was a beautiful strategy RPG called Valkyria Chronicles, a title that would feel welcomed to the PC, since that platform is known for having hardcore strategy fans."
