Indies Kick Off 7DFPS Challenge

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 10, 2012 1:42 PM | Comment

So the world is one day into this 7DFPS thing - it's essentially a week-long game jam, with the theme being that each participant must make an FPS within a week. I know, I know, them indies are flinging about their sweetened mashed fruit practically every weekend –- but I'm finding this jam particularly entertaining because we're watching them venture into a genre they wouldn't ordinarily consider. Let's take a look at what notable indie devs are cooking up for the competition so far. Read More »

Black Mesa Source Is Not Dead

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 10, 2012 12:41 PM | Comment

Good grief, Black Mesa Source has been in development almost as long as an actual Valve project. You'd be forgiven for thinking it had been given up on, pretty much like all prospects for Half-Life 3. It seems the Black Mesa guys have noticed the slump, though, and they want everyone to know: we are still alive! They've come out of nowhere with an announcement that they'll be unveiling some "exciting new media" soon – but only if you can help them out with a little something first. Read More »

Leap And Bound Through Lifeless Planet Screens

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 10, 2012 12:04 PM | Comment

Hello there, lifeless world. You suggest it's been decades since anyone last treaded your surface, but that sure looks like a lot of conveniently placed jumping puzzles you've set up for us, huh? Following yesterday's Lifeless Planet teaser, a handful of screenshots have been made available to further open our window on this unique-looking space exploration game.

Maxis Explains SimCity's Always-On Requirement

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 10, 2012 11:05 AM | Comment

It kind of kills me to be so excited about SimCity. On one hand, it is looking adorable. On the other, its always-online requirement is probably sentient and going to try and strangle us as we slumber. While I was at E3 this week, I dropped by EA's booth to check out SimCity and ask its devs just why they opted for the always-on thing, anyway. Are we going to have to learn to sleep with an eye open? Here's what they had to say. Read More »

Lifeless Planet Is Intriguing Psychological Sci-Fi

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 9, 2012 5:08 PM | Comment

I've been known to wake up at ridiculous hours of the morning to watch NASA launch livestreams. There's just something subtly, deliciously terrifying about the blackness of space, and especially the psychological implications of venturing out there. It stands to reason, then, that this trailer for a new in-development space game, Lifeless Planet, has launched it to the dense upper atmosphere of my hype-o-meter. Read More »

Rumor: Mass Effect 3 DLC And Extended Cut Details

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 9, 2012 3:10 PM | Comment

The Nostradamus of gaming goes by the unassuming nick of derptemp6698, apparently. A Reddit user with a history of credibility has leaked details on two new pieces of Mass Effect 3 DLC: it's going to contain new guns and maps and stuff! I know, I'd never have predicted that either. The other chunk is the long-awaited extended epilogue that might finally give some dissatisfied fans the closure they've been after. Click onwards to read up on the details. Read More »

Author Neal Stephenson Kickstarts CLANG

By Dan Stapleton | PC News | Jun 9, 2012 2:09 PM | Comment

No, that's not Kane from C&C.; It turns out the guy who wrote Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon is a gamer, and a picky one at that. Author Neal Stephenson has co-founded a company called the Subutai Corporation to create (among other things) CLANG, a PC arena dueling game that he says will finally do justice to the art of swordfighting. (I have a feeling he'd have a thing or two to say about melee combat in Skyrim.) Anyway, he's put together a hell of a Kickstarter video to sell us on the concept, and it includes an awesome cameo appearance (at the 3:00 mark) that's worth watching for by itself. Read More »

DiRT Showdown Review

By Andy Mahood | PC Reviews | Jun 9, 2012 1:25 PM | Comment

Fans of Codemasters' DiRT series (nee Colin McRae Rally) have come to expect a high standard of off-road racing goodness. Sumptuous visuals and grin-inducing driving physics have powered previous chapters to the front of the pack, but that ride comes to a crashing halt with DiRT Showdown. Those expecting DiRT 4 will have to lower their expectations, because DiRT Showdown exhibits all the characteristics of a slapped-together, keep-the-marketing-department-happy stopgap release.

Leak of Legends: European League of Legends User Info Has Been Hacked

By Dan Stapleton | PC News | Jun 9, 2012 12:08 PM | Comment

If you're in Europe and play League of Legends, now would be a really good time to change your password. Riot's co-founders announced that someone exploited a "specific security issue" (which they claim has since been fixed) to gain access to information including email addresses, encrypted passwords, summoner names, date of birth, and for "a small number of players," first and last name, plus encrypted security questions and answers. Read on for more on the breach. Read More »

Naval War: Arctic Circle Mission Editor Is Here

By Katie Williams | PC News | Jun 9, 2012 11:24 AM | Comment
