News::Far Cry 4 Review | GameCloud Australia

Nick Ballantyne at GameCloud Australia writes: "Far Cry 4 adds plenty of good things into the series, including a richer environment and streamlining the game experience. Its a sandbox game for sandbox gamers, and every play style is accommodated for. While the plot is a hunk of something youd find on the side of a Kyrat dirt road, the writing is still sensational, and the performances within the game are top notch. The ante has been upped, and Pagan Mins light, benevolent and fulfilling, truly shines upon us all."

News::Dragon Age: Inquisition Review - Darkstation

DS: "Before we get into the thick of this, allow me an admission: I liked Dragon Age 2. While it didnt reach the heights that Dragon Age: Origins did in getting back to Biowares CRPG roots, it really wasnt trying to, which I thought a bold move, and one that panned out exceedingly well for me. Why am I starting things out this way? Well, at the risk of this turning this into some weird meta review of that game instead of new release Dragon Age: Inquisition, I think its good that you understand where Im coming from when I tell you that Inquisition is the culmination of everything Bioware did in both of those games. Like a perfect child born to a couple of comely parents, Inquisition overcomes both the glossy shine of the first and the critical panning of the second to become something not unique, but evolved."

News::Ubisoft Dominates Canadian Videogame Awards... Again

Vince from Awesome Games writes: 'If you havent already noticed, Canada gets games. Its the third largest producer of video games in the world after the U.S. and Japan, and is by far the strongest performer per capita. Studios flourish across the country from the bustling bricked headquarters of Ubisoft in Montreal to the quiet creative retreat of Hinterland Studios on Vancouver Island. In between, on Canadas vast prairies, BioWare are still killing it in Edmonton and a thriving indie gaming community has been steadily growing in Winnipeg.'

News::Why I have a problem with The Crew trailer, and so should you

Mike Miller writes - "Normally Im excited for new game trailers that give me a glimpse into what my next time sink on the couch will look like. Today, I watched an 11 minute gameplay trailer for The Crew on IGN. In it, they refered to the game genre as an MMO caRPG. All joking aside, in the wake of a recent post on Ubisofts official blog detailing the many reasons why gamers should not trust early reviews of their upcoming social racing sim, this trailer hit me wrong. All wrong."

News::BioWare wants your Dragon Age: Inquisition saves to help squash silent bug

As many gamers already know, BioWare's latest entry into the Dragon Age franchise, Dragon Age: Inquisition, was recently released to critical acclaim. However, many players of the semi-open-world role-playing game have noticed something a bit odd during their forays into Ferelden or Orlais. It seems as though an obscure bug within Dragon Age: Inquisition's code is causing party companions to remain silent, rather than engaging in the beloved banter many gamers have come to expect from BioWare games. According to various discussions on both Dragon Age: Inquisition's and EA's forums, BioWare is having quite a difficult time trying to find the aforementioned unknown glitch in the game's code, however that isn't keeping the development team from doing their best to discover its source. In order to help expedite the process of finding the bug causing party members to remain silent, Allan Schumacher, a quality assurance analyst at BioWare, is asking gamers who have played Dragon...
