News::The Talos Principle Review - DarkStation

DS: "I didnt know anything about The Talos Principle until last week. I hadnt even heard of it, and it was with only mild interest that I checked out the games Steam store page. Within a minute though, I noticed a magic word that immediately caught my attention. That word wasnt Puzzle, Indie, or Adventure. That word was Croteam. When I saw that the developer who gave us the Serious Sam series was boldly branching out into a different genre with a new idea, I was hooked instantly. Since that time, I put well over fifteen hours into this superb title, which is unlike anything that Croteam has ever done. The developer that gave us one of the best mindless first person shooters of all time has now given us one of the best puzzle games of all time. I could rave for hours about the games terrific puzzle design, its beautiful scenery, or its clever integration of philosophy into its story and design. The best service that I can do for you, however, is to simply tell y...

From GameWatcher.com: "In our recent interview with Dungeon Defenders creator Trendy Entertainment we learn the studio almost went down the MOBA route, but instead choose to 'reboot' with Dungeon Defenders 2. They had a "bunch of classes" ready but "threw that away" and instead wanted a "real spiritual sequel" to the original game - "quality over quantity." They're keeping four classes.".

From GameWatcher.com: "Its nearly Christmas. The Coca Cola advert has been on the telly for ages. And Santas on his way. All of which means the majority of us who havent already been force-fed this years annual instalment of the latest camo-laden, war-mongering, gun-toting, bayonet-bashing FPS shooter, can look forward through gritted teeth to that one mate wholl spend the entirety of Christmas Day bragging about the newest, bestest, tenuous-at-best update x to feature in their new shooty gun game that apparently justifies their purchase over last years series offering. Which leaves little room for games like Joe Devers Lone Wolf. This makes me a bit sad."

News::The Crew Review - Bit-Tech

Rick Lane of Bit-Tech writes "Within a couple of hours of launching The Crew I realised it wasn't going to click for me. It took considerably longer to figure out why. I like racing games, and I love open-world exploration games. Since The Crew brings these two genres together in a pretty spectacular fashion, it should have been a delight to my senses. Instead, within a few races I was growing bored, and spent much of the remaining time playing in a sort of numb trance. Then, as I entered Miami, the game's third area, it occurred to me what was wrong."

News::Shooting Through Space: First Impressions of Distant Star: Revenant Fleet - Blackman 'N Robin

Blackman 'N Robin: Im going to make one thing clear: Im a huge fan of FTL: Faster Than Light. Distant Star: Revenant Fleet (currently in alpha, recently greenlit to go up on Steam), the game Ill be talking about today, draws plenty of elements from the aforementioned- but Id not call it a rip-off of FTL. Its not a clone- even though it has rather similar systems, a story that from my first impressions seems a bit like it could serve as a prequel to FTL, but it differentiates itself with some unique mechanics, a different style and aesthetic, and its more of an RTS than FTL which is more along the lines of an RPG.

"Kids these days have it all; HD television, PS4, Xbox One, high-end PC's and games that are slowly but surely blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. If you were born after the year 2000 then the chances are that you've missed out on some of the greatest games ever created, the titles that redefined what it meant to 'play', the games that us older folks will cherish forever. Well, most of them, there's still a special rung in hell for those who developed and released Superman 64.

News::The Crew review: Breathtaking scope diminished by disappointing visuals - PostArcade

PA: "The Crews massive, sprawling map that spans the entire United States, is one of the most interesting technical achievements Ive experienced in gaming in the last few years. While The Crews U.S. isnt created to scale, driving from New York to Las Vegas can still take as long as an hour. Take this in for a second and try to compare The Crews humongous map to what was featured in racing games in the early 2000s. Its amazing to drive across the U.S., traveling The Crews intricate network of countryside roads and navigating through its approximately 15 major cities. Despite the fact that a large portions of the work to produce the world has been procedurally generated, it still feels hand-crafted and every city, from Miami to Las Vegas, is convincing and recognizable."

GI: "Lumino City is gorgeous. You could place a screenshot from the game next to an image from Laika Studios films like Coraline and ParaNorman and no one would question its place in the line-up. Playing with my young daughter prompted exaggerated, mouth-agape Ooohs and Ahhs as we moved from scene to scene, and I absolutely related to her excitement. Lumino City is meant to be more than just a beautiful series of images, but when it comes to puzzles, story, and characters, it plays things safe without offering quite the same inspiration as its visuals."

The result has been released and it has not disappointed. The story revolves around a young girl who goes in search of her grandfather, who apparently gets eldernapped right at the storys inception while shes downstairs preparing some paper tea. What follows is a trip through multiple handmade locations, each with its own theme and puzzle."

With over 120 new cards to play with, the expansion embraces the chaotic nature of goblins and the tinkering tactics of gnomes, along with adding some flavorful new legendaries. Whether youre crushing the competition under the weight of an enormous Gahzrilla or assembling V-07-TR-0N from assorted mech pieces, youre probably going to be having a lot of fun. Many of the elements in this expansion embrace random effects, but dont detract from the skill-based elements of the game. Goblins vs Gnomes is all about controlling the chaos youre dealt."

This version was created for the PewDiePie Jam where developers only have 72 hours, or so, to develop their game from start to finish. What sets Super Wolfenstein 3D from the original is the addition of ragdoll physics, which lead to some hilarious animations.

News::How Alien: Isolation Can Change the Way You Play Games

GamesRadar - I'll admit it: the only Alien movie I've seen involves Bill Paxton. Oh sure, I've picked up plenty about the legendary franchise from pop culture osmosis - facehuggers, chestbursters, how much everyone seems to despise Prometheus. But until I played Alien: Isolation, I'd never experienced the intimate terror of being trapped with a single xenomorph, as in the original movie. Unlike fellow editor Dave Houghton, I can't yet appreciate how Isolation so perfectly captures the look and feel of Ridley Scott's film, elevating the standards for licensed games to new heights (though I promise to remedy this with the power of Netflix). But even without a cinephile's perspective, I still find myself loving Alien: Isolation from purely a gamer's point of view.

News::Character Growth Dragon Age: Leliana and Morrigan

Crystal Mills from The Koalition writes: "My love for the Dragon Age series is undoubtedly fueled by the characters. Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 both introduced and fleshed out amazing, complex characters that transcended the usual supporting role in RPGs. Because of this, its really interesting to me to follow them through their growth. In Dragon Age: Origins, we saw two clashing images between the faith-driven Leliana and the cynical Morrigan. While these traits werent the only existing characteristics (especially if you romanced one or the other) in them, they each had a very defining image that didnt shift too much through the Blight. But now in Dragon Age: Inquisition, a decade after the events of Origins, these two characters have made some pretty major shifts in their thoughts and actions."

As a celebration of the Great American Road Trip, The Crew offers something wonderful and memorable. Its open world, a compressed but awe-inspiringly ambitious version of the United States, is unlike anything I've ever seen in a game. Exploring its every nook and cranny, and racing across its wildly varying biomes is a hugely rewarding, and oddly zen-like activity. I'd safely count one coast-to-coast drive I took among one of my favorite gaming moments of the year."

While gamers wait on Bioware to fix a series of audio bugs that are currently forcing some users to play Dragon Age: Inquisition in relative silence, the developer has released a detailed description for how party banter and music are designed to function in the game. The team has now provided an in-depth analysis of how often fans should be hearing the various sound files of Dragon Age: Inquisition when everything is functioning properly. Bioware wanted to be as transparent as possible about how party banter and music works within Dragon Age: Inquisition because there seems to be confusion amongst fans about whether they are experiences the bug or simply witnessing the game as intended. For example, the developer believes that many who think that they are affected by the well-documented party banter bug are actually confused about the issue and how the game is meant to work.

Gamespot: "The Crew tries to be a driving game with something for everyone. You can team up with a group of friends for an epic road trip filled with fast-paced illegal activities, and seamlessly explore a massive map of the U.S., from the tip of Maine, all the way down to Miami, over to Los Angeles and back again, passing through other iconic cities along the way. Though it's true that all of this is possible, the experience isn't all that it's made out to be. The Crew tries to do a lot, and while it technically delivers the features it promises, it frequently stumbles over itself. There are brief moments of joy within, but just when you start to think the game's turned a corner, a bump in the road sends your joyride careening off course. When the best thing a racing game has going for it is the variety of environments it has to offer, you know something's amiss."

Previously they did a lot of other games that werent nearly as big and the moderately successful Wolfenstein 3D. The point is, everything prior to Doom was nowhere near as popular. Doom expanded upon the graphics conveyed in Wolfenstein 3D and added more detail, more weapons and of course enemies that came straight out of Hell (literally). Transgressing the name itself, Doom also became the moniker of the genre itself when fans would discuss First Person Shooters in general- Doom clones."
