Venture Into the Dark Fantasy World of Hunted: The Demon's Forge

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Dec 20, 2010 12:32 PM | Comment

We're not sure about your Christmas tree, but our Douglas fir has some pretty ridiculous ornaments -- none better than a miniature Elvis decked out in his Las Vegas cape. That said, we've got nothing on the decorations on Grayson Hunt's tree. See how the foul-mouthed protagonist from Bulletstorm decks the halls in this video Christmas card from developer People Can Fly. Read More »

Indie Spotlight #6: Detachable Rocket Boobs

By Nathan Meunier | Xbox 360 Articles | Dec 20, 2010 10:00 AM | Comment

Apparently, the view isn't always the best from the top of the mountain. While making it into a large game development studio and working on AAA titles is a dream for many budding game designers, the ideal gig doesn't always turn out to be the one they expected it to be. As a result, the indie game development scene isn't just a stomping ground for newcomers. Quite a few industry veterans who've spent years cranking out games in the big leagues are finding themselves drawn back to their roots. Nathan Fouts spent a decade working on high profile projects for studios like Running With Scissors and Insomniac Games, but it was his love of 2D games and the precision of old-school action titles that inevitably lured him to the indie side of the fence.

BioWare Details How Dragon Age II Can Be Played as a Tactical-RPG or an Action-RPG

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Dec 20, 2010 7:23 AM | Comment

Think like a general, fight like a Spartan. That's been BioWare's pitch for the reworked combat system in Dragon Age II -- but what the hell does that mean?

Choose Your Own Adventure: Classic Gaming Edition

By Evan Hoovler and Will Tuttle | Articles | Dec 17, 2010 1:30 PM | Comment

As your nemesis withdraws his blade from your midsection, a plume of blood sprays forth. It doesn't hurt... it never hurts. You fall on your knees, the world turns fuzzy and monochrome, like a 4-bit system. Could this be... the end? Your entire body disintegrates into a heap of computer-generated bits. Game Over. Black oblivion overcomes you as the game console is turned off.

You open your eyes. This is different. Read More »
