The Force Unleashed II Preview

October 24, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Features

Back in late 2008 LucasArts released their semi-popular Star Wars game The Force Unleashed to mixed reviews. The game was praised for its story and physics with most calling it “ambitious–yet ultimately dissatisfying”. Unsurprisingly however, LucasArts, undeterred by the reviews, are at it again and are set to release The Force Unleashed II tomorrow. TFU II starts around seven months after the events of the first game, bringing the time line up to a year before the events of Episode IV.

Arcania: Gothic 4 Review

October 24, 2010 | Justin Moody | Xbox 360 Reviews

Every once in a while you get a game that redefines a genre and manages to shed the preconceived notions of what a game should be. Gothic 4 is not that game. In fact, I would venture to say that this game is one of the low points of the Xbox 360 library. It all begins very predictably: you propose to a girl, leave town temporary, and upon your return find that the entire village has been set aflame and your new fiancé has been slain. Our nameless hero, with his emo mop top, swears revenge upon the king who ordered the town’s destruction and sets off to kill him.

October 24, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Features

So, Fallout: New Vegas has come out, there’s no new RPG at the moment, and you’re ready to lose your life to the wastes once more. Great! With Fallout: New Vegas being the next release of a Fallout game since Bethesda’s series defining Fallout 3, this is a good time to look back at the Fallout series as a whole, from Interplay’s Fallout to Bethesda’s Fallout 3, Vault 13 to Vault 101.

October 24, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC Features

Square Enix has a long history of making addictive Tactical RPGs, and there’s no shortage of gamers who logged endless hours on Final Fantasy Tactics in its various incarnations. They seem like the right publisher to handle the upcoming North American release of the tactical MMORPG Wakfu, which is developed by French developer Ankama.

Nuclear Dawn Preview

October 23, 2010 | Justin Moody | PC News

Independent developer Interwave Studios is set to release their first title, Nuclear Dawn, a blending of FPS and RTS game styles that explores a niche that could stand further development. Initially a mod for Half-Life 2, it was announced in 2009 that the product would be released as an independent commercial offering. The game is entirely multiplayer, and focuses on a war between two post-apocalyptic nations as they battle for supremacy in 2049 over the battle-scarred remnants of society. As players begin a match, they can choose to enlist under the flag of either the Empire, a communistic society that emphasizes numbers and mass over quality, or the Consortium of Free States, a collection of nations that value individual liberty and technology as the solution to survival in the wastes. As the only factions left on earth, both sides continue a war that began a decade previous to decide the ideology that will guide mankind.
