If you've heard of Game Dev Tycoon, there's a good chance it's for one of two reasons. Either you've seen the story of their day one anti-piracy stunt, in which developer Greenheart Games uploaded a version of their game to torrent websites, a version in which your games are violently pirated and never make any money, or because of the accusation that Game Dev Tycoon is basically Game Dev Story slightly reworked. Either way, you're probably starting your little garage-based development studio with an opinion on how things are going to go already. You're ...

Made by a team led by Tomasz Gop, the senior producer on The Witcher 2, Lords of the Fallen is a new next-gen action RPG due in 2014. Described in the press release with words like “challenging” and “demanding,” this might be one to watch for fans of Dark Souls and its ilk. With rich RPG elements and a focus on a rich fantasy world in which humans have been abandoned by their gods, aficionados of the genre can expect…

Square Enix have today released a fresh batch of screens for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Showing off some beautiful landscapes, you can tell XIV is a Final Fantasy game regardless of its MMO-status. If nothing else comes of A Realm Reborn and it releases to another round of "meh," at least those who enjoyed the original release and are looking to continue supporting Square will have some nice things to look at.

Cyberpunk RPGs aren't very common in gaming, so I'm always intrigued when I hear about a developer taking the genre for a spin. Mars: War Logs is the most recent post-apocalyptic RPG to surface, but the game's developer, Spiders, decided to throw a future Mars colony into catastrophe instead of Earth civilizations. This gives War Logs some unique qualities compared to most other games of its ilk, and the change is refreshing. However, despite all of this, it's held back by some unfortunate flaws.

With one of the funniest trailers of 2013 behind it, Leviathan: Warships was perhaps something that initially caught people off guard. Armed with an abso-boat load of terrible puns, people took to this game like a... well... a boat to water. The downside of this was that as soon as they'd bought and downloaded their new purchase, they realized that the voice in the trailer had been just that: a voice for the trailer. The jokes had been written to lure people in, and those same people didn't actually watch the trailer for the game they were so desperate to buy.

Dungeons & Dragons Neverwinter is one of the biggest free-to-play MMO games of the year, offering classic RPG elements within a massively multiplayer action environment. Developed by Cryptic games, the team that built Champions Online and Star Trek Online, and published by Perfect World, the beta received a lot of attention and impressed thousands of new fans. Whether you loved Dungeons & Dragons, dungeon running, online gaming or just classic RPGs, the balance between the different aspects of Neverwinter is superbly done.

The highly anticipated Battlefield 4 is due within the next six months and is no doubt going to be a must-buy for early adopters of next-gen consoles. It's understandable that people are getting more than a little excited about the whole thing, and DICE have released two new screenshots as a reward for their ever-obsessed community.

SEGA have announced the release date for the next entry in the hugely popular Total War franchise. Total War: Rome II will be available to players all around the world in September this year. Both digital and physical versions of Rome II will be available from its global release date on September 9th, 2013. There’s also going to be a collector edition which includes a working catapult, although since it’s self-assembly something tells me that you’ll be unable to conquer…

EA and Maxis unveiled The Sims 4, a new game in the massively successful Sims franchise. They were quick to confirm that this would, indeed, be offline and that the mistakes made by the SimCity release have been well learnt from.

The stand-alone expansion to Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, has only just come out, but are Ubisoft already considering a sequel? This is according to Michael Biehn, the actor lending his voice to the character of Rex Colt. Speaking on Major Nelson Radio, Biehn said that the game's creative director, Dean Evans, is in discussions to develop a sequel.
