Meanwhile in Heroes of Newerth

I applaud the initiative, and creativity it must have taken to do this. But the fighting looks boring. There's still clearly a significant limit placed on movement/speed/range-of-motion though what they have been able to get out of the suit is impressive.

Was excited when I thought this was a sequel to Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Then I realized it was another movie tie-in Transformers game with a few assets borrowed. All of the Transformers movie tie-in games to date have been awful. Zero reason to think this will be any different, especially with few, if any, of…

On first glance the differences between the originals and the enhanced versions are noticeable but don't seem huge. It's when you are about 6 hours in that you really start to notice that all those little annoyances, broken dialogue trees, casting loops, perma-spawning etc that were major issues with the originals are…

I'm glad to see this article. These kind of games and these kind of stories don't get much attention. It's actually pretty incredible to think about some of the places and people making games now despite all their obstacles. Even more so when you consider these games are not being made just to be profitable, but also…

His Tom Cruise example does not work for me. Do thousands of people say they want to kill Tom Cruise if he stars in something they don't like? Umm, yes, yes they do. I'm sure there's someone online right now telling Tom Cruise to kill himself. If you work in entertainment you are perpetually at the mercy of the…

This just makes me miss my old Falcon NW FragBox.

Ubisoft makes great games. It's just too bad they attach them to a crappy service riddled with problems. Assassins Creed Black Flag's Uplay attached Fleet options not working for PS4 players who have more than 99 friends is just the latest. Don't even get me started on how they handle game patching on PC. Steam,…

Some of these more accurately fall under "The best photoshop enhanced Cosplay of 2013." That second Final Fantasy? Tomb Raider? Darkstalkers? Borderlands? Not even trying to be subtle about it either.

Why should they market to the mainstream? Hell, I'd argue this IS the new mainstream. 50+ million people is hardly underground. I bet you anything Pro Gaming will start appearing alongside traditional sports in the next ten years on TV and mainstream streaming services.

The real question is does he own 4 PS4's?

I don't understand why tournaments so rarely take a hard stance against this and enforce some sort of decorum. Lets use fighting game tournaments as an example since they have a pretty rough rep. I hear youngins say it has ALWAYS been a rough scene. Back when Mortal Kombat 2 hit arcades there were a number of big…

"Smells like the Predator's dreadlocks." - I feel like this line made watching this video worth it.

After challenge and story, boss fights are pretty much my favorite thing about gaming. You can sell me on a game easily by saying "this game has great boss fights." Perhaps this is an indicator of my age, seeing as how boss fights were an almost guaranteed element back in the day. (Mega Man, Contra etc)

Every time I've had occasion to make a choice between AMD or NVIDIA I inevitably went with AMD simply because it did what I needed it to do for less money. Mind you that is just the last 8 years or so. Like a lot of people who've been PC gamers for years there was a time when I would have just said NVIDIA by default.…

Having a blast when GTA Online is actually working. Finally made it into a full deathmatch with friends/crew-mates and it was incredibly fun. The verticality changes things a lot and the very nature of fighting in a chunk of a fully realized world makes the maps a nice step up from the usual third-person shooter fair.…

I'm glad GTA Online is almost here because GTA V is spoiled for me until the bug that stops you from using the phone or computer to access the internet and removes the HUD has stopped me cold. Only option is to backtrack to a save 20+ hours and 30% behind. Word to the wise spread out your saves. On the Online side I…

The problem with Wonder Woman is she is ridiculous as a live action character. Any live action version of her would just boil down to some super thin brunette supermodel looking woman, with no muscle to speak of, in a short tight outfit bouncing around the screen. With some cheesy stunts glossed over with a body…

A F2P multiplayer Legacy of Kain inspired game is far from ideal. My love of the series makes me hopeful but the warning bells that are sounding are not few. The big draws for the series were always the dark, expansive world, rich characters and great writing. Can a multiplayer slug fest tap into that enough to make…
