News::Dragon Age: Inquisition freecam mod allows for some truly gorgeous screenshots

Over the weekend, Gamer Headlines reported on a recent Dragon Age: Inquisition mod (technically a hack via CheatEngine table) that allowed for total freecam control of the camera, allowing PC gamers to play the game from a perspective akin to Dragon Age: Origins isometric/tactical view. While that is perfectly fine and dandy, it appears that some more artistically inclined Dragon Age: Inquisition players are utilizing the aforementioned freecam mod to capture some truly captivating screenshots of the game. In particular, a reddit and Flickr user by the name of Berduu has employed the aforementioned Dragon Age: Inquisition mod in his game and taken some gorgeous screen captures from the game. Honestly, it's tough to shake the fact that they were taken directly in-game seeing as they look more like concept art or paintings.

Far Cry 4 is "wronged" by the existence of Far Cry 3, and this is because it is identical in too many places. This is not necessarily bad and despite some shortcomings, it is worth making the trip to the Himalayas.

VRFocus - We want virtual reality (VR) to take us to beautiful, fantastical, surreal, unimaginable places.

News::Far Cry 4 Review - Hookedgamers

Hookedgamers: "I'm just going to lay this out in the open since I know it's the answer for the question everyone is asking. Yes, Far Cry 4 is very much like Far Cry 3. However, Far Cry 3 was a very good game so this is far from a bad thing. What reason is there then to look into Far Cry 4? Several, as a matter of fact. Far Cry 4 takes us out of the warm tropics and far away from pirates and mercenaries to take on something far more sinister, in a much more enthralling setting."

News::Far Cry 4 Review - Gamesxtreme

GE: "I loved Far Cry 3, not for the story or the NPCs that hung around the protagonist like dead-weights around his neck, not even for Vaas who was a delightfully twisted mad-man and became the very definition of insanity - I loved it for the sheer openness and the sense of organic driven gameplay it provided when you weren't rolling from mission A to B for the storyline. What, back then, I said would make this game even better is more of everything. Ubisoft must have heard me, and every other Far Cry player out there because Far Cry 4 is stuffed to the gills with things to do, see, shoot, explore, explode, burn and hunt."

News::Review: Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 1 Zer0 Sum - HardcoreGamer

HG: "Comedy and drama seem to exist on opposite ends of the narrative spectrum. Often times, purposely injecting humor into a dramatic tale, or vise versa, feels inorganic and forced. The most talented writers find a way to teeter along the proverbial fence separating the two extremes, masterfully blending suspense and absurdity. In recent years, Telltale Games has shown us that it has the capability of penning spectacular dramatic stories, as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us consistently keep players on the edges of their seats. With Tales from the Borderlands first episode Zer0 Sum, a series set in the Borderlands universe that actually requires no investment in the original shooters, the heralded narrative development studio has shown that their writing chops extend far further than mere drama. Whats more, when youre not laughing at one of the numerous chuckle-inspiring moments, youll find yourself actually caring about the fate of your lovable group of galactic misf...

News::Far Cry 4 Review - XBA

XBA: "Sequels dont get much more sequelly than Far Cry 4. Where Far Cry 3 took the bare bones of Far Cry 2 (open world, exotic location, outposts, deranged bad dudes) and turned it into something altogether more crowd-pleasing, Far Cry 4 builds on its predecessor by essentially adding loads more of the same. And I do mean loads. Expect more animals, more outposts, fortresses, a larger world, more toys, more trippy diversions, co-op, countless side quests and a baddie thats possibly the most outlandish, over-the-top, howl-at-the-moon kook to have ever graced the series. Its a classic video game industry move: give em more of what they want. And for the most part, its bloody fantastic."

News::Tales from the Borderlands review - Financial Post

Financialpost: "Borderlands may seem a bit of an odd fit for a Telltale Games project, at least a first glance. Gearboxs sci-fi RPGs are packed with first-person shooting action, thrive on looting and exploration, and are best enjoyed with a group of friends. None of these things call to mind Telltales most popular titles such as their Walking Dead games which are driven by story rather than action, focus on lengthy conversations between characters, and are thoroughly solitary experiences."

News::Never Alone Game Guide

Marcus Estrada writes: "Never Alone may not be a crowdfunded game, but it sure has a ton of heart. With great visuals, a story told from a unique perspective, and neat documentary features interspersed, this is one game worth completing. As a puzzle platformer, there are some tough spots though! If youre looking for help then youve come to the right place. This game guide should serve as a walkthrough of the entire game, which takes around 4 to 6 hours to complete. Of course, it will only really discuss moments of actual puzzle (that way, I dont have to type walk right a million times over)."

"Is it Telltale? Or is it Borderlands? Its always an exciting opportunity to get to see a crossover between two titans such as these, but its even more ineffable when the lines between that crossover are so finely blurred that you cant tell where one stops and the other begins. Telltale is a narrative powerhouse, telling excellent stories and offering player driven anecdotes that are guided by choice. Borderlands is a modern gaming staple that has made a massive impact on the industry with its noteworthy graphical style and shoot-and-loot style gameplay. Is Borderlands ripe with narrative fruit, or are Telltale in over their heads?" - PSLS

News::Tales From The Borderlands: Zer0 Sum Review I Hey Poor Player

Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes- When Tales from the Borderlands was first announced it was easy to feel a bit skeptical as to whether or not Telltale Games could deliver as far as spinning a yarn as grand as The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us. Dont get me wrong; while the Borderlands titles have always featured some enjoyable writing, the narrative itself is usually buried under mountains of bullet-riddled bodies and shimmering loot. In the dangerous, bandit-filled wastelands of Pandora, the story has always taken backseat to wholesale destruction, the pursuit of bigger, badder guns and even bigger, badder psychopaths to blast into mountains of twitching meat.

Reminiscing was an initial reaction in this instance, as I couldnt help but recall a simpler time on the Internet while playing Mission Critical Studios new game, Crab Cakes Rescue, a cutesy puzzle platformer that transports us back across the ages to an era when video games held onto the basic principle that fun and simple should be top priorities.
