News::The Witcher 3 - Fans Claim 'Downgrade-ation' Is In Full Effect After Latest Trailer, Devs Comment

It seems the latest trailer of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt disappointed a number of PC gamers. While this trailer remains epic, its visuals seem to have taken a noticeable hit in various areas, as there were a lot of low-resolution textures on various environmental objects, the terrain itself, and some characters. And since the game is advertised as one of the most graphically intense games, these graphical compromises let down a lot of PC gamers.

News::DSOGaming - Dragon Age: Inquisition PC Performance Analysis

DSOGaming writes: "Dragon Age: Inquisition was perhaps the most highly anticipated RPG of 2014. Originally meant to go toe to toe with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Biowares RPG was lucky enough to earn everyones attention after CD Projekt decided to delay its own RPG to 2015. So, time now to see whether Bioware dropped the ball on this one, or whether we have in our hands a proper PC version of a highly addictive RPG."

Hardcore Gamer: I hate relying on others in video games more than I hate losing, and losing has cost me more than a handful of mice, keyboards and controllers. This is part of the reason why League of Legends is an incredibly frustrating undertaking for me in most cases: without a group of five people to play with seriously, Im forced to rely on others to have a deep knowledge of the games mechanics as well as awareness of the minute-to-minute changes on the battlefield.

News::Lumino City Review (PC) - TSA

TSA: "The most important thing to say about Lumino City is that its beautiful. Its not often I pay that much attention to this element of a game, usually favouring addictive gameplay or a compelling narrative, but its really hard to look past just how wonderful Lumino City is visually. Its not beautiful in the standard Look how much more realistic our facial textures are kind of way though, if it were then it wouldnt be the headline element of this indie title. No, Lumino City isnt about the standard beautification of modern gaming, instead its about environments that are, quite literally, hand-crafted."

Whilst I enjoyed exploring the gorgeously hand-crafted world, I couldnt help but feel that the gameplay just wasnt up to snuff at times and should have been better in a number of areas. If you love the look of Lumino City in the images accompanying this review and arent looking for much more than a visual feast then I strongly recommend you delve into all that Lumino City has to offer, but if youre looking for a deep adventure title then you might want to give it a miss."

JeuxActu - In a pretty nice, even pretty sexy appearance, The Crew spreads its nice achievement and huge open world in the forlorn hope to make you forget a long list of deficiencies such as the arm.

From GamesReviews: "HBO's Game of Thrones is what a character drama should be: tense interpersonal relationships, heartwrenching twists and a man that inexplicably can only say his name over and over again. There's only one developer capable of making that sort of thing interactive, and that's Telltale. With their first long-awaited episode now available on PS4, does it live up to the hit TV show?"

News::Telltale's Game of Thrones Episode 1 review (PC): A strong start - Digitalspy

Digitalspy: "In Telltale's past few efforts, the studio has carefully plotted its episodic adventure games in a balance between keeping long-time fans engaged with new stories in familiar worlds, while still making those stories accessible to newcomers. Both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us expand the mythos of their respective licences, but they also serve as valid entry points to their worlds for someone who never picked up an issue of either comic or watched The Walking Dead on television."

They come in a wide variety of different flavors, ranging from the Zombie Foot Soldier's ZPG to the Peashooter's Chili Bean Bomb, and everything in-between. What they sometimes lack in accuracy however, they more than make up for in strength. A well placed Chili Bean Bomb can decimate a throng of Zombies around a garden. Lining up a Rocket Launcher shot can wipe out that pesky Cactus which has been shooting you for the whole game. The trick is to use them wisely."

However, this exciting event didnt conclude without delivering a bit of much-needed information about some of next years most anticipated titles. While games like The Order: 1886 and Dying Light unveiled new trailers, and studios like Fullbright (Gone Home) released brand-new game details, it was the world premiere first-look at developer Robotokis up-and-coming title, Human Element, that left the most memorable impact on me."

News::This War of Mine Review Medal of Horror - Thejimquisition

Thejimquisition: "When one mentions war and videogames in the same breath, a distinct common image is brought to mind. That image is shaped like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Medal of Honor, a shape that brings with it intense feelings of empowerment, of taking down insurgents with a flick of the wrist, knifing friends in the back with wanton glee, and summoning helicopters to cut fools in twain. Most videogames are about the acquisition of strength, of feeling like a mighty hero, and military shooters have come out on top as the most popular power fantasy of them all. This is by no means a bad thing, of course, but the market is undeniably stuffed with the same old guts n glory experiences. This War of Mine takes a wildly different approach, presenting a war game with the gravity its deserved for a long time, and giving us something distinctly human in the process. Depressing, paranoid, and thoroughly morbid but all too human."

It's all open world, all of it is driveable, and there's dozens of great cars, all customizable with multiple variants specialized for different terrain. Had The Crew stopped there, we would be comparing it favorably to Need For Speed: Most Wanted.
