News::Staff Personal Picks | Biggest Surprises of 2014

Dealspwn writes: With our Biggest Disappointments of 2014 out of the way, it's on to more positive things once more, namely our biggest surprises of 2014. There's nothing better than a game surprising you, and no finer moments than when previous scepticism is utterly blown away by excellence. if new-gen got off to a bit of a slow start, at least in 2014 there were several titles that really got it right, not to mention some industry changes that blazed trails of redemption and resurgence.

News::The Sunday Seven: How Assassins Creed Rogue smashes Unity

Dealspwn writes: Assassins Creed Rogue has been living under the shadow of Assassins Creed Unity since it was announced that both games would be sharing a release window. When both were moved to the very same day, faithful and eager new-gen fans of course opted for Unity. Sadly, that loyalty was rewarded by a broken and oddly dull entry. But now that weve had time to play through both games, its clear that Ubisoft has released a fantastic Assassins title this year, but one youll have to dust off the PS3 or 360 for. So then, here are seven reasons why Rogue has absolutely smashed Unity.

News::Buzz Aldrins Space Program Manager Review - Softpedia

Softpedia: "Buzz Aldrins Space Program Manager might be the best and the worst way for a video game lover to learn about the space programs that both the United States and Communist Russia launched after World War II in order to explore space and reach the Moon and to make sure that their ballistic missiles were superior to the ones fielded by enemy forces. The experience does have moments when it manages to evoke the complexity involved in designing even the simplest of space-bound payloads, but it often devolves into simple resource management, and the theme, generous as it is, does not manage to shine through."

Polygon: "Games are often better at conveying horror than most other mediums, due to our direct and real-time responses. This year, we've experienced the constant dread of Alien: Isolation and the grotesque physicality of The Evil Within. Overlooked, however, is the cosmic horror in BioWare games. "We impose order on the chaos of organic life. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it." These are the words of Sovereign, the first Reaper you encounter in Mass Effect. At this point, you discover that all life has been essentially created and guided by these godlike creatures. Now the Reapers are coming to end what they created."

News::Football Manager 2015: 10 Challenging Teams You Must Consider Managing

WC: Some players follow the money and take control of the sugar daddy clubs, whether theyre already dining at Europes top table or have aspirations to. Its also tempting to re-awake a sleeping giant like Saint-Etienne, Eintracht Frankfurt or Nottingham Forest clubs with great history who have declined to varying levels. One of the more popular Football Manager challenges is to be a club with great youth facilities that owns a fantastic collection of youngsters (think Southampton 2014, with Shaw, Ward-Prowse, Chambers). By adding all the games wonderkids to that cluster, there lies a team to dominate Europe for 10 years. So which one are you? Is there a desire to find a new challenge? If so, here are 10 clubs, from different levels, who bring an appeal to FM15 players.
