News::Dragon Age Inquisition: My Story Part 2

Matt from Gamers Sphere says: "By the time we wrapped up Part 1 to my Dragon Age Inquisition Journey, I had liberated the mages from the Venatori, but to do so, I had to endure time travel, find my way back, and take out one of the Venatori leaders. Now, with a view of the bleak future fresh in my mind, I face the world so that doesnt become a reality."

News::Thimbleweed Park: Interview With Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick

Mangotron interviews creators of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick on Thimbleweed Park. "In a lot of ways Thimbleweed Park is that. The art looks like Maniac Mansion, but I think youll find the design and story structure to be a lot like Monkey Island." "At that point we realized why not have these individual stories all take place in the same place and tie them back into one overriding story arc."

The country of Kyrat is under the dictatorship of Pagan Min, a ruthless madman who is on a first name basis with Ajay. Pagan Min dispatches a soldier and says a quote that just seems absolutely fitting. Ajay has a bag slapped over his head and is whisked away to Pagans modest home. He is saved by a group of freedom fighters known as the Golden Path who seeks the downfall of Pagan Min and bring peace to this torn land. Upon Ajays arrival, it is clear that virtually everyone and everything is angry with him and want nothing more than to snuff out his existence.

News::Dragon Age: Inquisition Review | Attack On Gaming

"The player in Dragon Age: Inquisition assumes the role of The Inquisitor, a character given rule to the newly appointed Inquisition after a giant rift opens up in Ferelden. The player starts their journey off as a prisoner in one of the most poorly written parts of the Dragon Age universe. After about 10-15minutes of more bad writing, the player goes from being a prisoner to the leader of a military organisation, The Inquisition, for little to no reason. A villain named Corypheus, returning from previous games, has killed The Divine, a saint appointed by the Chantry as a messenger of The Maker. The game is spent trying to kill Corypheus, building the power of the Inquisition and romancing companions." - Attack On Gaming

News::This War of Mine Review | GES

GES writes: "This war of mine is an innovative and new take on being someone in a war, however, the twist is that youre not a soldier, but taking the reigns over average citizens trying to survive in a war-torn country. As your game begins, you are given a range of survivors who have chosen to take refuge in this house portrayed above. Not only do you have to try to keep your characters fed, you are also meant to keep them healthy and well rested. The characters you are normally given at the start is random, and you can house even more with a random event, however, keep in mind that it is an extra mouth to feed, and food isnt all that easy to come by. The game is very realistic when it comes to the decisions you have to make, as such that they impact your characters to quite the extent. Killing another person, who may or may not be hostile towards you, will not only have an effect on the shooter, but on the rest of the group as well. They will be wary of said character as well...

News::Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault (PC) Review - Cubed3

Cubed3: "Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault is a real-time strategy game that injects some much needed innovation into the genre. This game is completely separate from the Company of Heroes 2 release, which is an online strategy title, with SEGA this time focusing on being only a single-player experience. This decision might be a surprise to many fans hoping for an expansion because, despite the title of this game, it is an independent experience, not requiring the base game to play. How does this innovative focus hold up in what is otherwise known as a multiplayer franchise?"

News::A Brief History of Native American Representation in Video Games

Julie Morley writes: "The introduction of Upper One Games's Never Alone, concentrating on the history and legends of the Iñupiat Alaskan Native people, piqued my interest, and the interest of others i'm sure, in the presence of Native American people in video games and how they are portrayed. Interestingly enough, the search results were varied, including dark, racist, inaccurate historical portrayals to thorough research and respectful tribute. Indigenous people have been represented/portrayed in video games in just about every role in the stories and gameplay, some as protagonists, some as antagonists, and in some cases just as a supporting element in the setting of the game altogether. Here's a mere fraction of what I found.

News::Virtual Reality How Far Can We Go

SteamFirst: Its no secret that while our beautiful medium continues to grow in years, the means to which we may connect to these artificial worlds continues to become more and more powerful and fulfilling. Virtual reality has long been a dream of many, both gamer and non-gamer alike. The very idea of being able to take a step into an entirely new reality, to crush the autumn leaves under your feet and feel the bright rays of virtual-sunlight on your face, fills many with a sense of excitement and wonder. Though we have yet to achieve any such extreme immersion with the VR technology that is currently available to us, It is certainly a first step. The problem lies in what, I feel, is the means to proceed.

There certainly are for me, and for many, there seems to be almost no information available online even today. I have a feeling that many young people played games from Theresa Duncan, but have since been unable to rediscover those now obscure classics. The Theresa Duncan CD-ROM Kickstarter campaign is looking to change that. The rest of the project title proclaims these to be "visionary video games for girls." Not only is this true, but these are games which deserve to be played by a new generation as well."
