News::Dark Souls Review - Shrewd Gamer

If you play games you have probably heard of Dark Souls. You know, intriguing, atmospheric and devilishly hard, its the type of game that people like to admire from afar and not take the risk of losing their sanity (and a couple of controllers along the way) to it. However if you do decide to take those first tentative steps into From Softwares masterpiece, you will find a world of wonder, danger and death so much death.

News::Hearthstone deck building guide for newbies

GiA writes: With the Season 3 beta well underway, Ive decided to take a crack at playing Hearthstone. I had the awful experience of not winning a single match on the first day, to the point where I asked myself if I should just stick to playing Flappy Bird and wave the white flag of surrender. But I chose to keep playing. After some careful thought, a wee bit of soul-searching and tons of matches against other people, I ended up creating this five-step Hearthstone deck-building guide to help other newbies like myself make a proper competitive deck. Keep in mind that this is not a definitive guide on Heartstone deck building. The aim here is to help you in your early Hearthstone matches.

News::Echo Prime Review | WGTC

We Got This Covered wrote: Sci-fi entertainment properties have a tendency to borrow from one another (be it by design or entirely by accident), and Echo Prime is a game that takes no shame in borrowing. Its simple plot, seen-before setting, and mildly sapless art style are a clear amalgamation of anything and everything youd expect to find in your run-of-the-mill sci-fi caper. Despite this, Echo Prime finds a way to not only bring reasonably original ideas to the table, but actually lift two whole thirds of an existing games title: Metroid Prime Echoes. Since this is clearly a subliminal twist of predestined fate, I propose a new idea a grand collaboration between Nintendo and the fine folks at Robot Entertainment. It will be beautiful, and when its finally done, it will be called Metroid Prime Echoes: Echo Prime. Nintendo, Robot you guys can thank me later.

News::Titanfall, The Next Big Competitive Title?

Titanfall, The Next Big Competitive Title? Titanfall has had a lot of hype since 2013, it is believed that this title has the potential to be the next big competitive game. Due to its developer team background: Respawn Entertainment, who had worked on previous Call Of Duty titles, the community are hyped and hope to see a new competitive title. What is your thoughts? I believe that it has potential, however it is only released on PC and Xbox platforms. This could cause a lot of problems as there is a huge market for those who have a Playstation platform, this would cut sales compared to Call Of Duty, but does this even matter?

News::Top 5 Most Overrated Games Of The Last Decade

VideoGameDebate: "My top 5 series continues with a word in gaming that always comes under scrutiny. Overrated is usually a term used when a series or particular game is popular which is not to your own personal taste. Ive tried to separate my own thoughts and feelings and look at the facts when choosing this list. Did a game sell in its droves but was universally slated? Did people jump on a bandwagon? Was the game really just a steaming pile of crap? I asked myself these questions when choosing these games. Of course youre free to be offended if one of your faves makes this list, I still love you."

Explosion writes: " The Elder Scrolls Online is the most anticipated and largest scale MMORPG since Star Wars: The Old Republic was released in 2011. With the worlds of Skyrim, Morrowind, and Daggerfall already available in a single player format with varying forms of technical achievement, The Elder Scrolls Online seeks to make all of Tamriel available to playersfrom Hammerfell to the Black Marshes. It is a devilishly ambitious undertaking, and developer Zenimax Onlinenot Bethesda Game Studios, who have been responsible for all previous Elder Scroll outings provided its first taste last weekend of a mixed product that both exceeds expectations while failing to scratch that same itch the Elder Scrolls games have long been known for."
