News::Divinity: Original Sin Review | RGN
Chris of RGN writes, "Divinity: Original Sin is truly DIVINE! No, but seriously, it is a refreshing sign in a slow genre like old school RPGs. If you are looking for an Elder Scrolls type of RPG, then you will be disappointed. But, if you were lucky enough to enjoy Baldurs Gate 2 way back when (in 2000) then you should be pleasantly surprised, as this is a modern version of Baldurs Gate. Baldurs Gate and Divinity go hand in and hand with a lot of their mechanics and that isnt a flaw or a disadvantage for Divinity. While the character creation isnt too extensive it does its job well. The gameplay and overall mechanics of the game are what makes it truly great though."

News::Secret Ponchos Preview: A Spaghetti Western Deathmatch | GamerTell
From the preview, "Secret Ponchos is a top-down, spaghetti western, online shooter that brings elements from the fighting and MOBA genre to create some engaging and fun shoot-outs. Success in Secret Ponchos is dictated by how well you can master your character. At the start there are four choices, each with a varying level of difficulty to master: Kid Red, Phantom Poncho, The Killer, and The Deserter. Each class has its own unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited or taken advantage of during matches. Its good to note the speed of Kid Red, the close proximity The Deserter needs to fire his weapon, and so on."
