Impire Review

By Leif Johnson | PC Reviews | Feb 20, 2013 12:16 PM | 0 Comments

You know things are bad when you start to sympathize with hellspawn. At first I acknowledged my in-game avatar, demon lord of the depths Baal-Abaddon, only with the intended smirks and half-laughs warranted by his dialog. But in time I came to feel a kinship with him as we braved Impire's clumsy micromanagement in search of hard-won glory. "Tedious," he'd exclaim, and I'd find myself mouthing the words along with him. "Life: what's the point, anyway?" he'd ask, and I found myself asking the same question about our progress. By the sixth hour, I was sure we were both in a place where we didn't want to be, but no matter how repetitive or boring the circumstances became, I could take comfort in the knowledge that my new scaly friend and I were in this mess together.

Here's What Obsidian's Cancelled RPG Aliens: Crucible Looked Like

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 12:03 PM | 0 Comments

So, we didn't like Aliens: Colonial Marines. Nor did most other people. But what if there had been another Aliens game entirely? What if Obsidian had made an RPG in the Aliens universe? Well, thanks to this leaked footage of a very early prototype of Aliens: Crucible, we're lucky enough to see more or less what that would have looked like. Read More »

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs Due Out This Summer

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 11:09 AM | 0 Comments

For me, summertime is about one thing: Grillin' up some delicious, delicious meat. Pork is among my favorites. However, I suspect that Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs won't exactly whet my appetite for BBQ. The sequel to the amazing Amnesia: The Dark Descent is officially due out this summer. Read More »

Firefall Trailer, Open Beta Take to the Sky

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 10:43 AM | 0 Comments

R. Kelly would be proud of Firefall. Rather than just accept that the shooter's players would be stuck to the ground, they believed they could fly. With jetpacks. Those tend to help. This new trailer shows off a bit of what's possible with the things strapped to your back. Read More »

Rewrite! How Aliens: Colonial Marines Seriously Screws Up Alien Lore

By Mike Sharkey | PC Articles | Feb 20, 2013 10:29 AM | 0 Comments

According to 20th Century Fox and Gearbox, Aliens: Colonial Marines is part of the official Alien series canon. That means the disastrously bad shooter, which takes place shortly after the end of 1986's Aliens, has ramifications on 1992's Alien 3 and 1997's Alien Resurrection (which didn't do the lore any favors either). Major ones. Aliens: Colonial Marines' storyline features some lore-breaking elements that directly contradict major events from the films and makes me wonder if Fox and Gearbox (or TimeGate, or whoever actually developed the campaign) even understand what "canon" means. Here are my three biggest problems with this incredibly damaging new version of the Alien lore. Note: We're about to delve into MAJOR SPOILER territory. Read More »

Square Enix Teases New Mystery Game, Murdered: Soul Suspect

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Feb 20, 2013 7:28 AM | 0 Comments

Oh, hello there, new game from Square Enix. Didn't see you lurking in the shadows back there. Love the name of your website, "www.murdered.com," but based on your quick CGI teaser trailer, I have no clue what you are, exactly. An unromantic videogame spin on Patrick Swayze's seminal work, Ghost, perhaps? Whatever it is, I'm interested in learning more about Murdered: Soul Suspect. Read More »

Space Combat Goes Hardcore

By Andy Mahood | PC Articles | Feb 19, 2013 2:44 PM | 0 Comments

Despite the popularity of '90s classics like Wing Commander, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, and Freespace, the combat space sim genre has been as dormant as a white dwarf for more than a decade. Thanks to crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter, however, there may be some light at the end of the wormhole for Luke Skywalker and Buck Rogers wannabes. Read More »

Port Authority: Crysis 3

By Matthew Rorie | PC Articles | Feb 19, 2013 1:40 PM | 0 Comments

The original Crysis was one of the most graphically intensive games ever released on the PC, pushing the boundaries of what most graphics cards could handle even years after it arrived. Crytek's continuing to live on the edge with the release of Crysis 3, which thankfully ships with a much broader suite of graphical options than Crysis 2 originally possessed. Read More »

The First Chapter of the Tyranny of King Washington DLC Available Now

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Feb 19, 2013 12:36 PM | 0 Comments

Like any red-blooded American, I am genetically required to hate anyone who takes the label of "King" for themselves. We like to call those folks "tyrants" around these parts. As such, I've found myself clicking my way over to Steam to pick up the new Assassin's Creed 3 DLC, The Tyranny of King Washington Episode 1: The Infamy. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got shackles to throw off. Read More »
