News::Enemy Front Marks The Return Of The WW2 Shooter- Published By Namco Bandai.

While, Enemy Front isnt exactly treading new ground seeing as though its another military first person shooter touting pretty realistic graphics.yippe. The only thing that kind of sets it apart from the slew of shooters is that it takes place in World War 2..again. Releasing out for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the spring of this year. The game features close quarters combat; class-driven, cover-based enemy behavior; vehicular bosses; destructible environments; multiple mission types such as sabotage, espionage, assassination and assault; gameplay customization; authentic weaponry as well as exaggerated, over-the-top weapon effects; and faithfully recreated theatres of conflict including France, Norway, Greece and Poland.

News::PC Tech Comparison: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

EuroGamer - After little more than the odd, teasing tweet from Hideo Kojima to show for its vital signs, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance arrives as a competent, if not entirely awe-inspiring port to PC. It's been almost a year since the PS3 and 360 releases, and so expectations are high for the esteemed Platinum Games to deliver more than just a barebones port of its latest hack-and-slash success. However, the lack of previous PC releases from the company over the last generation makes this a daring first attempt at the practise - with a mixture of results that mostly point to the positive.

News::Broken Age (Act 1) Review | Hardcore Gamer

Hardcore Gamer: Its official. We can now count Double Fine among the developers who have stolen from Broken Sword wholesale or half-sale, if you want to be fair and also accurate. With Broken Age Act 1, Tim Schafer has unapologetically copied exactly half of Charles Cecils title, half of his two-part episodic structure (and Id wager hell copy the other half soon enough), and the entire concept of selling a traditional point and click adventure that was funded through Kickstarter. Some might argue that Schafer launched his campaign half a year before Cecil, and that in fact Revolution might not have tried to Kickstart at all if not for Double Fines success, but this is balderdash. Revolution Software went to market a whole two months ago, and since a game only exists once its being sold, all who followed them must be imitators. QED.

News::Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (PC) Review | Saving Content

Excerpt: "The game is an Ultimate Edition of sorts, seen with the recent PC release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. As it includes all DLC such as: Blade Wolf, Jetstream, and VR Missions. It also includes pre-order DLC and costumes for Raiden: White Armor, Inferno Armor, Commando Armor, Raidens MGS4 body, and even the Cyborg Ninja using the in-game currency, BP (Battle Points). Graphics are sharper, the game still runs at 60fps (seemingly locked, and unless theres a hack, wont go above this framerate). There are some new options to allow for more cuts when slicing up enemies. The end result is a prettier game, but the textures in many areas do not look good both in motion, or up-close. But this can be easily overlooked."
