I’m sure when most people think of Amnesia they think of creatures popping out at them, chasing them and constantly trying to kill them. Well Amnesia A Machine for Pigs takes a completely different approach to scary, and in my opinion it works. So expect more of a looming feeling of uneasiness then pure outright terror that comes across as you play. It is unfortunate the amount of bad feedback this title has received because expectations were that of the last Amnesia title. I feel AMFP was a short and creepy experience with some brilliant story work intertwined.

Black Mesa: Source, a fan project that remade the original Half-Life in high-definition, will soon be available to purchase on Steam. It’s currently available for free, but Valve was kind enough to let the developers sell the game on their digital-distribution service.  The icing on the cake was that Valve informed Black Mesa about this news on Half-Life’s 15th anniversary. Here’s project lead Carlos Montero’s forum post announcement:  HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY HALF-LIFE! We here at Black Mesa have some big…

The names of all four map packs for Call of Duty: Ghosts have apparently been revealed by Activision on accident. According to VG24/7, a gamer by the name of Fariko_Scorch, a member of the competitive gaming group Fariko, posted an email sent to him by Activision that detailed the upcoming DLC.  Here’s the tweet below:    @charlieINTEL i got a email from call of duty pic.twitter.com/urug90TKqE — Ryan (@Fariko_Scorch) November 21, 2013   This image is more than likely legit.…

Ubisoft's Sylvain Trottier gave a worrying statement recently that might just explain why PC gamers are so often screwed over with poor ports from the big publishers.

Last gen the action adventure genre evolved into something far more controller, more linear than it ever had been before. The likes of Uncharted and Tomb Raider put personality and story ahead of pitting you against a cave and tasking you with getting to the end. It's funny then that it's so easy to see Deadfall Adventures as a bad copy of these games when actually the developers have gone back to the source.

The nominees for Spike VGX awards have been announced, with Grand Theft Auto V receiving the most nominations. Formerly known as Spike Video Game Awards, VGX will take place on December 7th, this time giving the fans a chance to voice their opinion by voting for their favorites on the official website. Gamers will also be able to dictate the outcome of one category: “Most Anticipated Game.”  These Spike awards have always been hit and miss with the gaming crowd,…

According to an email from Microsoft, the Zune Marketplace will no longer be available on the Xbox 360 on November 22nd. This was a long time coming, but inevitable, especially with the Xbox One on the way, and Microsoft’s new direction for multimedia entertainment on their consoles. Here’s more from the email:  We recently notified you that with the Fall 2013 release of the Xbox 360 update, Microsoft Points are being retired. This email is a confirmation that as part…

Remember Myst, the PC game developed by Cyan? It was one of the first games that put CD-ROM gaming on the map. It became a household name when it launched in 1993, and spawned numerous sequels. It was an incredibly difficult adventure game that many feel is still one of the best in the genre, and a game that some developers cite as being a critical influence to their work. It's probably for these reasons that Cyan's new title called Obduction successfully met its 1.1 million dollar Kickstarter goal. In fact, it made 1.3 million.

Bioshock Infinite was one of the best received games of the last year, and it's no surprise that the DLC has caused something of a splash. Placing both Booker and Elizabeth in an alternate timeline in Rapture, the city beneath the sea from Bioshock and Bioshock 2, Burial At Sea is another slice of story that'll leave you open-mouthed, mostly for all the right reasons.

This generation is rapidly coming to a close, and unless you've got 26 hours to a day and eight days a week, it's unlikely you've been able to see everything on offer. The Batman Arkham franchise are three of the standout moments from the last eight years, and if you've yet to try them out, Warner Brothers have today announced that they have you covered.
