News::Guacamelee! Pixel Judge review

PJ: "Platformers of the Metroidvania style are few and far between in this day and age, with even the original games having moved away from the style years ago. Fortunately for fans of the platforming style, the indie developers are here to fill the gap. And therefore, I present you Guacamelee!"

News::Get a load of this capital ship combat in Elite Dangerous

Typical, you wait for a great space sim to arrive, then two get successfully crowdfunded. Elite: Dangerous (which is still a funny title) didn't manage to pull in the $20 million that Chris Robert's Star Citizen crowdfunding campaign did but if this trailer is anything to go by, the game is looking pretty good.

This trailer is showing off combat between capital ships whilst fighters swarm over each vessel. It doesn't appear this footage is in-game, however the description on the YouTube page says that making the video has informed things like GUI, ship materials, and special effects.

Let's hope the game plays just like this trailer as I've been wanting to fly through a big capital ship again, just like you could in X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter.

News::Close encounters of the explosive kind - Daily Spelunk

I played like a proper maniac during this installment of The Daily Spelunk, as you'll come to see within the first few levels. I couldn't help myself from flying through levels at dangerous speeds. Somehow, I made it to the Mothership again and, well, curse that infernal place.

As for Conrad's run, I'm hoping he will start to see that the ghost can be just as dangerous if not more so than taking on the shopkeepers. (Actually, I just don't want him to score more money than me while playing nice with the local business community.)

News::Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Review | Games Fiends

Games Fiends writes: " Fans of the original will have this in their Steam library already and Im sure theyll be just about satisfied with the outcome. Those new to the genre and the game will have a solid place to start from. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs tells a mature, horrific and at times engrossing tale via a simple set of game mechanics whether this is at a detriment is purely down to what you want out of the game. Its a chilling house of horrors ride nonetheless! "

News::FPSGuru: PAX Prime - Rekoil Preview

FPSGuru, "The days of the old school shooter may be making a return. It's not always about killstreaks or having the highest level with the best equipment. Sometimes it's truly time to focus on getting in the game and just shooting up enemies without having to worry about someone on their third prestige. Rekoil is a FPS in development by Plastic Piranha that seeks to pit all players into the game starting with everything as balanced as possible. You won't have that extra advantage through killstreaks or be stuck with barely any weapons you want in the beginning. This isn't Battlefield where you won't start out with a defibrillator as a medic, cough cough. This is Rekoil where it's all about getting in and having fun."

SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. SUPER. HOT. Its safe to say that Blue Bricks new project SUPERHOT is something you have not quite seen before. Blue Brick, a Poland-based studio, has created SUPERHOT, an FPS game where time only moves when you move. As you can see in the trailer and screenshots below, this means that when youre taking on a barrage of bullets, side-stepping and standing still will let the bullets whiz by while you take on the slow-falling enemies left behind. With a limited amount of ammunition and unforgiving foes, SUPERHOT is looking to give players a game full of intense action scenes that makes them combine grace, style and brutality to survive.

"When some mobster dude has your mobster dad killed, you seek justice by becoming a mobster and killing all the other mobsters starting with that bastard who orphaned you. His name is Ward Bullseye Cole and hes one mean mother. Your name is Joey Bane and you have a sneer like an anus sucking a lemon." Reject Reviews rips apart games from the bottom of the bargain-barrel. This week, Veni Vidi Velcro presents Gangsters 2: Vendetta. "The game strings you along for about half a level before you off the bloke, at which point it tells you that yes, you killed the rapscallion who shot dear papa, but said rapscallion was given his murderous orders by an even more ghastly fellow. So would you terribly mind toddling along and killing him too? Theres a good chap."

This is the feeling that drives Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. It's a stark reminder that developer Frictional Games understands the essence of fear, and that series creator The Chinese Room can write a compelling story."
