Microsoft @ E3 2014 – Stage Show Impressions

June 09, 2014 / lucasc

Earlier today Microsoft took the stage to open E3 2014 with a bang. As promised, their focus was “games, games, games.” Some were not exclusively Xbox properties, but the dominant theme of the show was definitely (re)building the Xbox brand. Just take a look at the list of titles Microsoft put on display, and you’ll see what I mean: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Forza Horizon 2 Evolve Assassin’s Creed: Unity Dragon Age: Inquisition Sunset Overdrive Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper ...

NVIDIA GameStream to any Android Device with Limelight

May 21, 2014 / lucasc

Game streaming. It’s still an anomaly in the gaming world, certainly more novelty than habit for gamers (and we know where that leads). Tech companies desperately want us to do it, simply because it’s an easy out for them—they can produce low-performance hardware capable of playing the latest PC titles, and there’s no porting effort spent on the part of game developers. OnLive was the first exposure many gamers had to the idea of playing games remotely, but as enticing as the idea of every game out ...

Steins;Gate Visual Novel Localization Hits March 31

It’s not every day fans of Japanese entertainment get a treat like this. Though the idea of animated, interactive books somewhat caught on in the west in the ’80s and ’90s, for the most part the visual novel trend that’s so popular in Japan never took off, stateside.

With time the internet has given rise to more and more translations made by ...

Crysis 3 – What Crysis was Meant to Be (Review)

March 06, 2014 / lucasc

While Crysis has been a staple of the gaming industry since the first series title hit back in 2007, most of its popularity has stemmed from being famously taxing for gaming machines to run due to its intense, realistic visuals, not for actually being remarkably fun to play.

The Final Days of Final Fantasy?

February 13, 2014 / lucasc

Well, it took 30 years, but it finally happened: Final Fantasy got a trilogy. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is out now in the states and on its way to Europe over the next few days. Should you care? Probably not. While Square Enix made a lot of changes mid-development to try and make the game more appealing, in the end we’re still left with a bizarre-o storyline and a glorified dressup figure. Not everything Lightning Returns does is bad, but its legacy will not be the few things it does right. ...
