Rico Rodriguez has caused a lot of problems for oppressive dictators since he first arrived in 2006. This morning, Square Enix and Avalanche gave us our first look at his third go-around at destroying everything in sight. Take your first look at Just Cause 3: Just Cause 3 is the third game in the franchise, starting with the premier title in 2006 and the sequel in 2010. Renowned for it’s sandbox style game play, Just Cause allows players to freely roam a large...
Halo’s fictional universe is vast and detailed, with stories filling in the gaps between the games and more. In the build up for the series’ next release, Halo 5: Guardians, Microsoft and 343 Industries has once again taken to viral advertising to fill in more of these gaps. This time, using audio diaries and images, we are invited to join fictional reporter Benjamin Giraud as he recounts the history of Halo’s hero: The Master Chief. Join us as we examine...
Crypt of the NecroDancer is the first rougelike game I’ve played in a long time that I felt like I was always on the cusp of victory, instead of always on the brink of defeat. That was by design though. Vancouver based developer Brace Yourself Games intended their title to be approachable and fair, while still encouraging players to learn the nuances of the game and raise their skill level high enough to see continued success. The idea is clearly working for them, as...
Parallax scrolling. The technique is a time old tradition in gaming. Multiple background images are layered behind one another and scroll at different speeds to give the illusion of depth. In the 8 and 16-bit era of games, this was almost ubiquitous for what was arguably the most popular genre around: platforming. You don’t see this technique used much these days, at least in the truest sense. 3D graphics and gaming engines allow more detailed and interactive...

It’s amazing what a small team of developers and fans can do when they truly believe in a product or idea. Never was it more apparent to me than when I was first exposed to Undead Labs and “State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition” at PAX East 2015. Having never played the 2013 release on the Xbox 360, the entire concept of the game was first shown to me right on the show floor. The enthusiastic personal walkthrough I received from an Undead Labs representative was...

Much like yesterday, the folks at Star Wars Celebration are getting another big trailer reveal. Today, it is for the highly anticipated Star Wars Battlefront, from EA/DICE. This is the third major entry in the series, but it may as well be a reboot. It’s been 10 years since the last installment, and this will be the first from EA/DICE following their pickup of the series. DICE is the developer behind the hugely popular Battlefield series, known for its huge combat...
During the opening keynote of Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, California we were treated to a number of glimpses into December’s release of Star Wars Episode VII – The Force Awakens. From droids to Stormtroopers, Skywalker twins, new faces, everyone’s favorite Wookie, and some spectacularly bad Star Wars themed dubstep, you could say we got to see quite a bit short of seeing the movie itself. Then, right at the end of the broadcast, Director J.J. Abrams...
