Arkham City Ditching its GFWL DRM?
Some major changes to the Batman: Arkham City Steam entry seems to imply that the second Rocksteady-developed Batman game will soon lose its DRM. If you own a copy of Arkham City on Steam, your purchase just might end up being a lot more "yours."
Company of Heroes 2 an “Insult to Russian History”
Americans "saving the world" during World War II isn't a new thing in entertainment. If you believed the Hollywood version of events, the bravest of the brave all came from the US and everybody else died rather embarrassingly or wouldn't have saved the day without the help of said US soldiers. Even games like Company of Heroes 2, which hints at something vaguely fact-based, isn't above painting certain people in a very good light.
Ubisoft follows up with hard hitting Watch_Dogs trailer
A new trailer for Ubisoft's Watch_Dogs was released today, mere 24 hours since the last trailer got slammed by the internet for its poor quality.
Target Wii U Ad isn’t quite Right
Target have released an advertisement for the Wii U in which the console on show is anything but. If you haven't yet bought one, you'd be forgiven for not knowing what a Wii U console actually looks like. Nintendo spent most of their time advertising focussing on the pad and on the improved visuals over the Wii. If you're a major company trying to sell a bunch of these devices, however, it might make a little sense to actually check your advertisements before you send them out.
Next-Gen Tomb Raider “well into development”
The next Tomb Raider game (Tomb Raider 2 presumably, although it seems a little late in the day for that) is already "well into development" and will be available for next-generation consoles. Although nothing specific has been said, it's fair to presume it'll at least end up on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
3DS Flashcart Available Soon
The 3DS has been out for over two years now, and has yet to succumb to the wave of piracy that the R4 and similar devices brought to the DS. That, however, is about to change very shortly, as a new 3DS flashcart is about to be released that will allow users to play 3DS roms on their system.
New Watch Dogs trailer fails to impress
The recently released short trailer of the highly anticipated Watch Dogs was met with much critisism from gamers.
Film producer gets trolled by Super Meat Boy creators
Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, also known as Team Meat, creators of the indie game Super Meat Boy, were contacted by a Film Producer looking to make a movie based on the 2010 platformer. They recorded the conversation and uploaded it for our viewing pleasure.
Trials Evolution Broken for Some Nvidia Users, No Fix Announced
If you're a Trials fan who has yet to buy the rather excellent Trials Evolution, and if you're sporting a Nvidia graphics cards, you might want to hold off for a little while longer. The latest graphics drivers don't much like the motorbike-based bone breaking sim, with plenty of people claiming they can't even boot it up.
Sonic Lost World May be the Darkest Sonic Yet
The ERSB have released their rating for upcoming Wii U exclusive Sonic Lost World, and it's almost surprising what they found. Although it still managed to get a 10+ E for Everyone rating, it's in the description that things seem to take a turn for the more adult. While some of these phrases might not have batted an eyelid in a kid's product thirty years ago (and even then, it'd be pushing it), by today's standards they're positively vulgar.
