Following last night’s tease to “Stand By” Bethesda has finally released the first full trailer for the game, confirming its actual existence in the process. Check it out below: The trailer leaves us with vaults full of questions, but for now we can discern that it is another post-apocalyptic RPG experience, like its predecessors. Fallout 4 will be released on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4, and we are sure to hear and see more about it at E3 in a few...
The Escapists has just launched on the PlayStation 4, following their original release on Steam’s Early Access (August 2014) and Xbox One (February 2015). Developed by Mouldy Toof Studios and Team17 Digital, The Escapists is a game about one thing: getting out of prison. The idea of a jailbreak may sound tough to begin with, but this top-down puzzler tasks you with mundane activities within the prison, all slowly building to your eventual escape. From trade quests...
Review: 3D Realms Anthology – Part I: 3D Realms (or Apogee Software, LTD as it was known officially) is a company that needs little introduction. Anyone who played games on the PC in the 80s and 90s has most likely played a game from 3D Realms at some point, be it intentionally or by virtue of their friends. They were champions of the shareware style of game distribution, allowing users to try out their many titles for free (on a limited basis) before buying. Often...
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...

If you were anywhere last PAX East, you were at the Star Citizen live event, or at least watching it. No, I’m not talking about this years expo, I am talking about PAX East 2014. You know the one, loud drunk guys yelling at Chris Roberts to fly into the earth mining lasers. Yeah, that live event! How could you forget? If you are anything into the idea of space simulators and the fact you can explore space like I am, you are super stoked for this game. If you are super...
This weeks 20 Questions will be with Dan Mitre (Community Manager Battlefield EA) @dan_mitre As I write this over 159,456 players are playing Battlefield 4 online, just about half the amount who bought the first console Battlefield back in 2005. Compare that to the 11.5 million copies of Battlefield 4 sold across the world you can see that the series has become a giant in the FPS world— if not the giant. While the Battlefield player count will always grow, is the...
Battlefield Hardline, the controversial crime slathered take on EA’s Battlefield series, is looking to set the bar on creating a truly immersive storyline. One that pulls the gamer in and toys with the feels. Of course it takes a great team of writers, visuals, and relatable characters— but when it gets down to what your mood is during a certain scene in the game, the music is what gets you engaged. The team at Visceral Games has teamed up with...
