| | Moosa’s Musings: What’s the point of game reviews? | 
Tauriq Moosa - May 14th, 2012 | Gavin recently noted that games that receive almost universal dislike from professional reviewers still sometimes sell better than ones highly praised. For example, Sniper Elite V2 sold better at one point than Mass Effect 3. Ignoring for the moment that sales don’t indicate quality – Twilight, anyone? – it is still interesting to wonder about game reviews’ purpose, in general. After all, if reviews that universally hated a game do nothing to reduce a game’s sales, then what ... [»] |

| How bad is this Ghost Recon Advert? | 
Gavin Mannion - May 14th, 2012 | I’m seriously excited for Ghost Recon Future Soldier, my time with the game at rAge last year was an incredible experience and I really do think this game is going to be one of the best games of the year.
Which is why this advert is such a massive disappointment, it’s not clever or interesting or even sexy.It’s just trashy ... [»] |

| Dishonored’s coming in October | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 11th, 2012 | Last month, the debut trailer for Dishonored, the neo-victorian stealthy, stabby and magical first-person action adventure captured a lot of people’s imaginations. From the studio behind Arx Fatalis - and with people who’ve worked on games Half-Life 2, BioShock and Deus Ex - Dishonored oozes atmopshere. You’ll play as a supernatural assassin who’s trying to clear his name of murder charges (so you’ll...uhh…be killing people to not take the rap for killing ... [»] |

| Mid Wars – bringing more anger issues to Heroes of Newerth players | 
Matthew Figueira - May 11th, 2012 | So after my last article, it turns out that not many of you are really into Heroes of Newerth that much. It's perfectly understandable considering that the community can be unforgiving, whether you are new to the game or have been playing for your entire life.
Nonetheless, it is the 2 year anniversary of the now F2P game. I remember the good old beta days ... [»] |

| Ass-kicking kung-fu action with Sleeping Dogs combat trailer | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 11th, 2012 | Last month, I had a little hands-on time with Sleeping Dogs, the new Hong-Kong based open-world sandbox crime and probably a few other adjectives action game from Square Enix and United Front Games. In it, I detailed how the hand-to-hand, melee combat was fluid and fantastic - and far removed from the simple hand-to-hand combat you’d find in similar games. It’s also pretty damned brutal - allowing you to ... [»] |

| Amazing Assassin’s Creed 3 gameplay premier | 
Gavin Mannion - May 11th, 2012 | Earlier this week we posted up the news about Ubisoft wanting 1 776 000 people to talk about the gameplay premier of Assassin’s Creed 3 before they’d release the footage.
Well apparently that mark has been reached as the world premier of the Assassin’s 3 gameplay footage is out and I have ... [»] |

| Check out the new multiplayer mode in MW3 | 
Gavin Mannion - May 10th, 2012 | Two of the biggest complaints in this generation of gaming is that Call of Duty is a generic shooter year on year with no innovation and that map packs are just a rip off.
Well it looks like Infinity Ward may be about to refute both those accusations with one single move. ... [»] |

| So why was BioShock Infinite delayed? | 
Geoffrey Tim - May 10th, 2012 | Yesterday came the crushing news that my most anticipated release for this year, Bioshock Infinite from Ken Levine’s Irrational Games would be delayed until next year. After sobbing for a few hours, I started wondering why the delay was necessary; everything we’ve seen from the game so far points to it already being incredibly polished, and nearly ready for prime time - but it’s coming a third of a ...

| Go to a BT Games Diablo III launch to win an amazing Diablo 3 hamper |
Darryn Bonthuys - May 9th, 2012 | Guys, calm down. Put away the siege towers, battering rams and trebuchets. Even though BT Games has stock of Diablo 3 and a poorly-defended rear entrance, you’re not going to be able to break through to get your eager hands on a copy.
You’re going to have to wait until Tuesday night to secure yourself one, but doing so, means ... [»] |
