SWTOR Servers Down For Emergency Maintenance

By Mitchell Bowman | PC News | Apr 13, 2012 11:05 AM | Comment

In a twist of bad Friday the 13th luck for Star Wars: The Old Republic players, servers are offline and will be down until around 4pm PDT today for what BioWare is calling "emergency maintenance." The big 1.2 update went live yesterday with no obvious issues, but it has since pulled SWTOR to the dark side. Read More »

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Devs Eyeing Icewind Dale

By Mitchell Bowman | PC News | Apr 13, 2012 10:28 AM | Comment

In a tweet yesterday evening, the chief of Beamdog - the developer behind Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition - made it clear he has his eye on Icewind Dale. Many have been wondering if some of the other Dungeons & Dragons games of that era would be candidates for a facelift. Beamdog's response? "We are interested, but first we need [Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition] to succeed." Read More »

The Earth Takes a Hit in the Firefall Story Trailer

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 13, 2012 9:08 AM | Comment

A few big takeaways from the stunning Firefall CGI story trailer: 1) All space ships should be designed with a nod to the Space Battleship Argo from Star Blazers. Let's get to work on that, Virgin Galactic, shall we? 2) We're on Earth! Never realized Firefall wasn't set in a sci-fi world far, far away. 3) Faster Than Light travel isn't anywhere near as easy as the crew of the Enterprise makes it out to be. Read More »

Valve Creating All New Gaming Hardware

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 13, 2012 7:40 AM | Comment

Valve may not be developing a console-like Steambox, but, as evidenced by fresh job postings, it is certainly hard at work in the lab, Black Mesa-like, trying to create new hardware that will transform the gaming experience. Sure, the potential to rip open a dimensional seam the Xen will pour through is there, but that's what crowbars are for. Read More »

Sleeping Dogs Gets a Release Date, UFC Bodyguard

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 13, 2012 7:10 AM | Comment

Square Enix has called upon a professional face puncher to wear a Sleeping Dogs t-shirt and stare menacingly at gamers. Alright, alright, I'm exaggerating slightly. Slightly. Georges St. Pierre, the ass-kicking UFC champ, has partnered with Square on Sleeping Dogs to help the devs design realistic martial arts combat. He's also lending his name to pre-order bonus packs -- bonus packs announced today along with Sleeping Dogs' release date. Read More »

Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai Review

By Rob Zacny | PC Reviews | Apr 12, 2012 5:00 PM | Comment

I've never controlled this kind of firepower in a Total War game before. I could feel it when delivering a point-blank broadside with a Warrior-class ironclad, all 20 guns reducing an enemy corvette to a fireball, while hostile return fire plinks harmlessly off my ship's armored hull. I see it when I take direct, first-person control of an artillery battery and start arcing shells into the midst of dense formations of enemy troops, the explosive shells wiping out 20 men at a time. And I know it when I check the post-battle report and see that my unit of 90 veteran marksmen quietly murdered over 400 of the enemy from the trees where I hid them. Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai takes the Total War series to a whole new setting with an arsenal of amazing new killing machines, and the result is some of the most awe-inspiring combat in the series' long history.

By Mike Nelson | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 1:42 PM | Comment

If you've been living under a rock for most of this week you may have missed the news that the big 1.2 patch for Star Wars: The Old Republic dropped today across a galaxy far, far away. And you may have already heard about all of the Legacy features, customizable interface options, and the new PvP warzone. However, I bet you didn't hear about this: tauntaun pets. Read More »

Command Your Demo Fleet in Naval War: Arctic Circle

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 12:59 PM | Comment

Naval War: Arctic Circle is upon us, and like a once bitten, twice shy PC gamer, we carefully moused around it on Steam. We're all for a modern warfare RTS on the high seas, but we're still smarting from Paradox's last bug-filled launch of Gettysburg: Armored Warfare. But what's this? It appears Naval War is more stable than its Paradox predecessor, how else can you explain the demo now available on Steam? Try before we buy? Yes, we think that's a fair deal. Quite. Time to take Naval War: Arctic Circle for a spin. Read More »

Nice Shootin', Techs: Rockstar Shows Off Max Payne 3's Bullet Time, Animation

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 12:46 PM | Comment

Remember when Bullet Time wasn't in every single action game/movie? John Woo popularized it in film, but the first Max Payne game had the most influential version of the slow-motion shootout in the gaming world. Since then, everything from the FEAR series to Fallout 3 has used some variation on the mechanic. So, now Rockstar has to figure out some way to make it special again. That's where their new video comes in. Read More »

Fieldrunners is Coming to Steam, Want a Beta Code?

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 11:22 AM | Comment

When Fieldrunners came out in 2008, I didn't have an iOS device, but oh boy did I run down my buddy's iPhone battery defending my towers. The super simple, stylish game hits all the right buttons without getting bogged down in the complexity that some of its peers can exhibit. Read More »

Snip-Snip, Cut-Cut: StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm's Multiplayer Changes Laid Out

By Taylor Cocke | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 10:37 AM | Comment

Changes to StarCraft II's multiplayer aren't something to be taken lightly. At even the slightest hint of imbalance, fans are likely to freak out and burn down the Internet in their search for justice. Fortunately for Blizzard, they're Blizzard, and as such can take as much time as damn well please to get things just right. Read More »

No Skyrim DLC on PC Until Late May at the Earliest

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 10:03 AM | Comment

Bethesda promised big Skyrim surprises are coming in April, conjuring images of DLC adventures to dance in this Dovahkiin's head. Alas, adding today's announcement of Kinect support (why push buttons for Dragon Shouts when you can actually scream them at your telly?) with the unfortunate Xbox 360 exclusivity agreement I'd forgotten all about, it appears PC gamers won't get their first Skyrim DLC until late May at the earliest.

Take a Gander at Medal of Honor: Warfighter

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 12, 2012 7:24 AM | Comment

When I think of Medal of Honor, I don't think of last year's Modern Warfare wannabe with the odd, small-scale Battlefield multiplayer attached like a makeshift appendage. And I choose to look past the handful of PC and the deluge of console games that have shipped over the past decade. No, when I think of Medal of Honor, my thoughts go all the way back to 2002 and Allied Assault, a benchmark in online gaming and one of my favorite shooters of all time. Oh, Omaha Beach, how I miss your shell-cratered battlefield. Can the latest addition to the franchise, Medal of Honor Warfighter, recapture the magic? Time will tell. For now, we've got the first gameplay trailer that indicates, if nothing else, Warfighter will be easy on the eyes. Read More »
