Impire Review By Leif Johnson | PC Reviews | Feb 20, 2013 12:16 PM | 0 Comments You know things are bad when you start to sympathize with hellspawn. At first I acknowledged my in-game avatar, demon lord of the depths Baal-Abaddon, only with the intended smirks and half-laughs warranted by his dialog. But in time I came to feel a kinship with him as we braved Impire's clumsy micromanagement in search of hard-won glory. "Tedious," he'd exclaim, and I'd find myself mouthing the words along with him. "Life: what's the point, anyway?" he'd ask, and I found myself asking the same question about our progress. By the sixth hour, I was sure we were both in a place where we didn't want to be, but no matter how repetitive or boring the circumstances became, I could take comfort in the knowledge that my new scaly friend and I were in this mess together. ReadMore Here s What Obsidian s Cancelled RPG Aliens: Crucible Looked Like By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 12:03 PM | 0 Comments So, we didn't like Aliens: Colonial Marines. Nor did most other people. But what if there had been another Aliens game entirely? What if Obsidian had made an RPG in the Aliens universe? Well, thanks to this leaked footage of a very early prototype of Aliens: Crucible, we're lucky enough to see more or less what that would have looked like. ReadMore Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Due Out This Summer By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 11:09 AM | 0 Comments For me, summertime is about one thing: Grillin' up some delicious, delicious meat. Pork is among my favorites. However, I suspect that Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs won't exactly whet my appetite for BBQ. The sequel to the amazing Amnesia: The Dark Descent is officially due out this summer. ReadMore Rewrite! How Aliens: Colonial Marines Seriously Screws Up Alien Lore By Mike Sharkey | PC Articles | Feb 20, 2013 10:29 AM | 0 Comments According to 20th Century Fox and Gearbox, Aliens: Colonial Marines is part of the official Alien series canon. That means the disastrously bad shooter, which takes place shortly after the end of 1986's Aliens, has ramifications on 1992's Alien 3 and 1997's Alien Resurrection (which didn't do the lore any favors either). Major ones. Aliens: Colonial Marines' storyline features some lore-breaking elements that directly contradict major events from the films and makes me wonder if Fox and Gearbox (or TimeGate, or whoever actually developed the campaign) even understand what "canon" means. Here are my three biggest problems with this incredibly damaging new version of the Alien lore. Note: We're about to delve into MAJOR SPOILER territory. ReadMore Mojang, Humble Bundle Launch Mojam Game Jam By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 9:10 AM | 0 Comments Commence game jam! Commence Mojam! Minecraft studio Mojang, a group of indie studios, and the folks behind the Humble Bundle have teamed up for Mojam 2, a 78-hour game jam that starts right now. Watch along via TwitchTV and be prepared to pay what you want for any new pixelated creations that catch your eye. ReadMore Square Enix Teases New Mystery Game, Murdered: Soul Suspect By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 7:28 AM | 0 Comments Oh, hello there, new game from Square Enix. Didn't see you lurking in the shadows back there. Love the name of your website, "www.murdered.com," but based on your quick CGI teaser trailer, I have no clue what you are, exactly. An unromantic videogame spin on Patrick Swayze's seminal work, Ghost, perhaps? Whatever it is, I'm interested in learning more about Murdered: Soul Suspect. ReadMore Battlefield 4 Reveal Today? By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 6:50 AM | 0 Comments EA and DICE kinda sorta announced Battlefield 4 back in July when they were shilling for Medal of Honor Warfighter. Preorder Warfighter, get access to the BF4 beta, the deal went. Seven months later, it appears we're finally about to learn more about the next installment in the shooter franchise, because EA and DICE are now showing off Battlefield 4 behind closed doors and an official reveal appears imminent. ReadMore Space Combat Goes Hardcore By Andy Mahood | PC Articles | Feb 19, 2013 2:44 PM | 0 Comments Despite the popularity of '90s classics like Wing Commander, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, and Freespace, the combat space sim genre has been as dormant as a white dwarf for more than a decade. Thanks to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, however, there may be some light at the end of the wormhole for Luke Skywalker and Buck Rogers wannabes. ReadMore Port Authority: Crysis 3 By Matthew Rorie | PC Articles | Feb 19, 2013 1:40 PM | 0 Comments The original Crysis was one of the most graphically intensive games ever released on the PC, pushing the boundaries of what most graphics cards could handle even years after it arrived. Crytek's continuing to live on the edge with the release of Crysis 3, which thankfully ships with a much broader suite of graphical options than Crysis 2 originally possessed. ReadMore The First Chapter of the Tyranny of King Washington DLC Available Now By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 12:36 PM | 0 Comments Like any red-blooded American, I am genetically required to hate anyone who takes the label of "King" for themselves. We like to call those folks "tyrants" around these parts. As such, I've found myself clicking my way over to Steam to pick up the new Assassin's Creed 3 DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington Episode 1: The Infamy. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got shackles to throw off. ReadMore Outstanding: StarCraft Universe Launches By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 10:22 AM | 0 Comments Remember World of StarCraft? How about StarCraft Universe? If you remember one of those, you remember them both, because they're the same game, just renamed after some legal disputes with Blizzard. Even if you don't, you may be excited to know that an early version of the "MMO-style RPG" mod for StarCraft 2 is out on Battle.net, as Kotaku reports. ReadMore March of the Eagles Enters the Battlefield By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 9:58 AM | 0 Comments Here's one thing I won't be doing in March of the Eagles, which launches today: invading Russia. I remember my history classes, and that never ends well. There's way too many people there, it's way too cold, and my Napoleonic-era soldiers aren't anywhere near ready for that sort of fight. I think I'll go ahead and let them do their own thing while I take the rest of Europe. ReadMore BlizzCon 2013 Set for November By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 7:11 AM | 0 Comments BlizzCon is back. Blizzard unexpectedly canceled its annual show last year to focus on actually making games, much to the chagrin of purple-painted night elves everywhere. The convention hiatus will end in November when Blizzard opens the doors to the Anaheim Convention Center for the seventh BlizzCon. ReadMore Crysis 3 Review By Matthew Rorie | PC Reviews | Feb 19, 2013 6:00 AM | 0 Comments Let's get this clear up front: Crysis 3 is a better first-person shooter than Crysis 2 in almost every way. Gameplay is more robust and varied, the storytelling is more mature, and it's often visually stunning. Unfortunately, it's also not very ambitious: it leans heavily on ideas already established by better games, and as such isn't an especially remarkable experience. Its reach might exceed its grasp in a few key areas, but Crysis 3 is still a largely enjoyable excuse to take a trip to post-apocalyptic New York. ReadMore BioShock Infinite s Elizabeth Gets Stormy By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 5:39 AM | 0 Comments Gamers have learned not to expect much from co-op AI companions. Keep up, don't block doorways, and throw out the occasional one-liner is about the best we can hope for. Irrational Games will attempt to raise the co-op AI bar with its time-and-space-tearing partner, Elizabeth, in BioShock Infinite, and as the latest trailer demonstrates, she will, at the very least, pack a powerful punch. And by "punch" I mean "tornado controlling super power." ReadMore Players Demanded These Changes to Far Cry 3 By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 18, 2013 2:10 PM | 0 Comments One of my biggest problems with Far Cry 3 is the complete disappearance of enemies in areas where I've cleared outposts. I really like the sense of constant danger their presence provides. It seems that others feel the same way, as Ubisoft is implementing a patch that will allow us to reset every last one of them, a feature apparently requested heavily by players. Oh, and there's some other stuff too. ReadMore Blade Symphony Hacking and Slashing onto Steam By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 18, 2013 1:05 PM | 0 Comments It's a good time to be a fan of sword fighting in games. We've got Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, War of the Roses, and now Blade Symphony, as spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun. While the former two are first-person "shooters," Blade Symphony seems to take the Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast route to sword fighting goodness. That means flips, dives, and flying slashes. Soon, all that goodness will be on Steam. ReadMore Save Money: GOG Puts Classics on Sale By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 18, 2013 11:31 AM | 0 Comments When I was but a young child, my father tried to make me understand the value of a dollar. I'll cut out the middle of the story, but the result of the lesson is my ability to wait until games are on sale before I buy them. This week, GOG.com makes that waiting really pay off, because they're dropping the prices on a ton of classic games like Myst: Masterpiece Edition, The Incredible Machine, and Outcast. ReadMore Everything Has Been Redone for DayZ Standalone By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 18, 2013 10:22 AM | 0 Comments Look, Dean "Rocket" Hall. We love DayZ. We appreciate the mod, and think it's pretty great. You really didn't have to go through all this trouble of making the standalone product so darn awesome. The fact that you've been completely remaking the zombie survival shooter from the ground up is completely unnecessary. Oh, you went ahead and did it anyway? Well, you're just the best. ReadMore Show Your Metal: A New Glimpse of GRID 2 By Katie Williams | PC News | Feb 17, 2013 6:44 PM | 0 Comments Gosh -- the cars in the upcoming GRID 2 are so exquisitely curved and shiny that I kind of want to stick my weathered old Honda Civic in there for "character." Then again, I'm guessing my humble sedan can't rev quite like the babies in this new gameplay trailer do. ReadMore Total War: Rome 2 s Next Faction is the Suebi Tribe By Katie Williams | PC News | Feb 17, 2013 3:57 PM | 0 Comments I like how this faction-by-faction reveal of Total War: Rome 2 gets a little more barbaric each time. We've seen plush feathered headdresses devolve into ankle-tattoos-on-shields and now? People are totally wearing dogs on their heads. Say hello to the Suebi, a tribe so barbaric that they seem a-okay with sauntering into battle shirtless. ReadMore A Curious Indie Game Has Docked at Pirate Bay By Katie Williams | PC News | Feb 17, 2013 12:27 PM | 0 Comments Huggable-looking 16-bit critters? Yeah, that's not what I'd have expected to find on the front page of a certain famed torrent website either. Yes, it's a videogame promo for Zelda-esque indie adventure Anodyne, but it's also sort of an interesting remark on the state of videogame piracy. ReadMore
