I’ve been playing Shank 2 in anticipation of the release of Klei Entertainment’s Mark of the Ninja. I’m also wading my way through the much more kid-friendly Dust: An Elysian Tail. Neither game is huge, but I’ve been swamped with new releases, so I’m taking each slowly. It’s sort of wonderful to have all these 2D (or […]

Time to put my inner fanboy back in the closet and talk about something other than how awesome Dark Souls is… I’ve been a bit stuck in a Dark Souls coverage binge lately and some of you have told me you’d like to hear about something else. I agree. I have an obsessive streak, but From […]

I keep hearing the same lines over and over again: people refuse to support the “lazy” Dark Souls port; some are calling it the worst port in history.

YouTube user ShadowZack took the below footage playing at 1080P (with an internal 720P resolution) and although you can only tell so much from a YouTube video, I think it looks perfectly fine. I’ll know more once I have my hands on a copy, but the graphics look really good and I don’t see any […]

With each new gameplay video and screenshot I see of ‘s upcoming assassin game, Dishonored, I get a tiny bit more excited. Qualms about first-person perspective have begun to diminish, and the new Study in Stealth gameplay video (below) looks terrific. In the video, the developer discusses the elements of stealth you can use in […]

Pirating ‘Dark Souls’ will send the wrong message, and is the wrong way to treat one of the greatest action-RPGs ever made. Dark Souls for PC – the Prepare To Die Edition or Artorias of the Abyss Edition – unlocks on Steam in just under six hours. At least, that’s the case where I am, though it […]

I’ve been covering lots of grim and gritty action-RPGs lately – there’s no shortage these days. But perhaps the most highly anticipated non-Diablo game in the top-down genre is Runic ‘ Torchlight 2. The game has a decidedly more colorful and stylized feel than many of the competitors, with a painterly world more akin to Diablo III than […]
