One Angry Gamer "Despite all the tomfoolery going on in the gaming industry at the moment, with Doritos and Mountain Dew bloggers posing as game journalists while alienating and attacking their own audience, theres still gaming news to cover. One of the more recent releases thats sort of been skipped over as of late is The Evil Within, the latest action-survival game from the grandfather of horror-survival titles, Shinji Mikami."

Technology Tell writes, "Alien: Isolation is an attempt to redeem the franchise, partially by reproducing the tension of the original Alien, and partially by incorporating the lessons in building immersive worlds that video games have been imparting for the last generation. Alien: Isolation is just as much Bioshock as it is Alien, Sevastopol Station arriving by way of Rapture. Alien: Isolation exchanges underwater for space and the past for the future, but the result is similar: an immense enclosed system thats in a state of tumultuous decay. Both games create coherent, fully-formed worlds that rigorously adhere to a particular design aesthetic."

A preview for Dragon Age: Inquisition via EGMR. Quote: "Dragon Age: Inquisition could well be BioWares apology letter for the failings of Dragon Age II and even Mass Effect 3; it looks like a strong and solid offering thus far and is honestly the only (read: the only) game that Ive looked forward to this year. The only one. That might be because Im a fan of BioWare games but surely theres reason for that given how much I get accused of being tough on everything else right? Maybe theyre a great series of games or something? Time will tell and very soon well see if Inquisition stands up to the test."

Marcus Estrada writes: "The puzzle platforming genre is packed full of games and I for one have enjoyed many of them. With that said, it's hard to recall too many games that offer gameplay mechanics of the same style that Youropa presents. In this game, you play as a tiny little Youropean in a floating Paris-inspired city named Youropa. For whatever reason, these people have suction cups instead of feet."

Just getting over the PTSD of your last visit to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza? Well too damn bad, because it's time to get spooked again.

Normally I'd roll my eyes at the idea of a sequel being announced barely three months since the release of the original, but in this case I don't mind a bit. I have an irrational love for those animatronic monsters and can't wait to be horribly mutilated by them again. Given the massive cult following for the first one, it's practically guaranteed that Five Nights 2 will break out of Greenlight and into our nightmares soon.

Details hinted at by the release teaser trailer suggest a few changes to the core mechanics. You'll still be trying to track and stave off the malfunctioning cast members of Freddy Fazbear's by spying on them with security cameras and strategically turning lights on and off, but this time there won't be any doors to hide behind. Instead, you'll be playing possum by wearing a fake Freddy head, trying to bluff your way out of sticky situations. Sounds tense for sure.

Technology Tell writes, "Costume Quest 2 is at its comedic best when it uses the costumes themselves for gags. The team at Double Fine did a great job trying to thread humor into the mechanics themselves, and are, for the most part, very successful. Saying too much would spoil the fun, but a few of the costumes not only produce recurring gags, but recurring gags that are instrumental in advancing the story. Respect."

To have created something that is sure to live on in gaming eternity with reverence and love, such as is the case with Resident Evil, is always going to provide any future games you create to have an increased sense of anticipation and scrutiny. While the Resident Evil series has convulsed between the brilliant and the poor there has been a real belief that with The Evil Within Shinji Mikami would reanimate the corpse of the survival-horror genre.

Earlier this week, on Monday, a federal judge ruled against EA shareholders Ryan Kelly and Louis Mastro who both filed a class-action lawsuit against the company, claiming that Electronic Arts (and associated executives) made false claims about Battlefield 4s quality before the games official release. United States District Judge Susan Illston ruled that EA chief executive officer Andrew Wilson and chief financial officer Blake Jorgensons pre-release comments about Battlefield 4 amounted to nothing more than corporate optimism or puffery. Ultimately, Illston stated that shareholders Kelly and Mastro cannot further pursue securities fraud claims against EA.

Kirk Hamilton (Kotaku) writes: Titanfall is a lot of fun, but there's no denying that it feels a little thin. The game's exclusive focus on player-vs.-player combat left many of us wishing for a bit more variety. Good news: The game's latest update will add a cooperative mode to the game, and it looks pretty cool.

Brian Munjoma from The Koalition writes: "Ive been gaming on PC for some time now and Ive come across plenty of arguments both for and against PC gaming. These have ranged from reasonable issues to downright lies so I thought Id take a somewhat objective look at some of the reasons. Before I continue, I must say that this is not about the age old debate of PCs versus consoles. This is purely about shedding light on the truths and myths of gaming on PC. This is something which the co-creator of the Warzone, Torrence Davis, has been trying to do for sometime now."

The makers of Strike Suit Zero are increasing the scale of their space battles with a new game, Fractured Space , which features 5 vs 5 matches between massive ships.

"Above all else we want to transmit a sense of scale to the player - the feeling of participating in a massive space battle inside their own titanic capital ship, blasting apart enemy ships and working together with other players to achieve a common objective."

It should pair well with Dreadnought .

Fractured Space is coming to Early Access this year with a 2015 free-to-play release planned.
