‘Dungeon Defenders’ Set to Fuse Tower Defense and ARPG Gameplay

When
the Unreal Development Kit first was released it gave indie developers
access to the power of the Unreal Engine and opened the way for tons of

Respawn Entertainment’s First Project Screenshot

Do you remember Respawn Entertainment, the guys who left Infinity Ward without most of the money they earned from Modern Warfare 2, and are still fighting Activision for it to this day? Well, they’re more than just a sensational story, they’re actually a game developer for EA. The surest sign of that so far just occured. Respawn has released an image of their new game, which is great! There is a catch, however.

Achron: Hands On Preview

Time travel is one of the most interesting ideas that science fiction plays with, and dozens of films and books have been written about the possibility that you could go back in time and fix your mistakes.
