News::Geek Citadel - Dragon Age Inquisition Review

Kevin Jones - "The breach appears in the sky of Thedas and spills demons and ghosts into the world to terrorize the citizens. You wake up with the only weapon that could seal the breach attached to your hand. The breach may be the main problem, but there are other troubles to deal with across Ferelden and Orlais. The Templars and Mages are fighting to a standstill, The Wardens are missing, and the world is in general disarray with political indecision. Its time to form an Inquisition and take the troubles of the world in the palm of your hand literally."

News::This War of Mine outselling CoD: AW on Steam, new update details

As many gamers already know, 11 bit studios' (of Anomaly franchise fame) war survival PC game, This War of Mine, has released to critical acclaim, with the title being among the highest rated games on Valve's Steam service. However, what some gamers may be unaware of is that, in delightfully ironic contrast, This War of Mine is outselling another certain popular war-themed game - Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - according to Steam's "Top Sellers" list. Furthermore, the development team over at 11 bit has detailed This War of Mine's latest update, which includes three tracks from the Polish punk band, Cool Kids of Death, along with new character setups, enhanced locations, new animations and various bug fixes.

News::'Dragon Age Inquisition' Review [Game Rant]

Andrew Dyce of Game Rant writes: "Boasting an open world that could only have been possible with brand new hardware (and years of work) and a story that illustrates the strengths and eccentricities BioWare has made their trademark, Inquisition is not only the most cohesive expression of the Dragon Age series to date, but without question one of the best games of this year, and one of (if not the) best open world RPGs in years."

News::Ur-Quan Masters Now Available in HD

Carl Williams writes, "Okay, who remembers the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console? The one from the early to mid-90s that was going to revolutionize gaming with all kinds of things that didnt come true. One thing did come true on Trip Hawkens little console that he got everyone else to manufacture- we got one hell of a great game in Star Control II, brought over by Crystal Dynamics (the people behind many 3DO classics). This was space exploration/battles at its best and it was only on the 3DO (as far as consoles are concerned). Eventually the 3DO port was opened to the community and ported BACK to PC and called The Ur-Quan Masters. This port is now available in HD thanks to even more dedicated fans."

News::New Arkham Knight Trailer Breakdown

A new gameplay trailer has surfaced for Rocksteadys eagerly anticipated conclusion to their Arkham trilogy, Batman Arkham Knight, and it looks nothing sort of incredible. Check out the trailer here. Within the trailer are a multitude of new details regarding what we can expect when we finally get our hands on Arkham Knight. First of all, this new trailer just reiterates the fact that the game looks stunning, the lighting, fidelity and particle effects truly look next-generation. The fluidity and seamlessness is very much on show in the trailer, getting though vents is much quicker as weve previously seen and the transition for vehicle combat to the Arkham gameplay we know is impressively instantaneous. The biggest thing we can take away from this new trailer is how cinematic the game looks, the camera angles in combat move around and are focused much more on those critical finishing moves you can use against your foes. In terms of the foes, it seems Rocksteady has taken some...

News::5 F2P Games That Should be on Consoles

Free-to-play games are a godsend for the gaming community: not only do they allow for a larger established userbase, they also allow players to become as invested as they want to be. While this system is well-established on PCs, developers are still experimenting with the formula on consoles. However, if these five F2P games receive a transplant, they could very well flourish.

BioWares recently released open-world RPG, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is an undoubtedly huge game with a seemingly infinite amount of content to explore and discover. Many curious gamers are sure to utilize various online sources such as /r/dragonage or GameFAQs.com for help with getting the most out of the already-critically acclaimed title. Some will probably purchase a physical copy of Primas strategy guide for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which retails for about $25 dollars. However, those desiring a more efficient second screen experience that can be accessed whilst playing the game may opt for the digital edition of Primas Dragon Age: Inquisition strategy guide. Normally, Primas Dragon Age: Inqusition eGuide would cost you $10, which honestly isnt too shabby as the digital version is chock-full of the same content found in the physical edition, but using the promotional code, SAVE50, gamers can purchase it for $4.99.
