Wrath: Aeon of Ruin was built on a modified version of the Quake engine and you can really tell. With the chunky pixels, the fast movement, and the open levels this game screams retro 90s shooter. It's a shame that there isn't much here beyond a graphical and gameplay throwback. If the goal of the game was to accurately and competently represent games from decades ago then it accomplishes it with flying colours.…
Armello is a digital board game of royal intrigue featuring characters that look like they belong in a children's cartoon, aptly described by Kotaku as "like Game of Thrones, only with animals" . In it you take control of one of four anthropomorphic animals from different clans (Wolf clan, Bear clan, Rabbit clan and Rat clan) who vie over the throne as their king, a lion (as is tradition), is sick with something…
Year Walk can be summed up neatly in a single word: unsettling. It relies on a minimalistic interface and a unique art style to present a world where everything is a just little off. The game focuses more on exploration than strict puzzle solving and you're left to decipher what things mean for yourself without any clear indication on what to do. The game is about a young man who undergoes a Swedish tradition known…
Anna is a first-person psychological horror game wherein you play as a professor who has come to a sawmill in the woods in search of "Anna", a person who seems more of a mystery than a memory. The game takes place entirely within and around the cabin and requires you to complete typical adventure game puzzles while piecing together the story from events and lore found throughout the game. The atmosphere in the game…

A post on the Yahoo! developer Tumblr has analysed the time spent on mobile devices (in the US). Their takeaway is that people are spending more time with their mobile devices, which is hardly a surprise, and they are prioritising apps rather than browsing the web. Another, a bit more interesting, observation is that the amount of time spent on games is decreasing from the year before, from 52...

So you've played Watch Dogs and thought to yourself "that don't look too hard," and now you want to learn how to be a hacker. Well, you should know that there is more to hacking than just staring at your phone all day, which we all do anyway, and you have a long way to go if you want to give DEDSEC a run for their money. DEDSEC Before we begin I should say up front that I am not a security expe...

Microsoft's Xbox One was released on November 22nd, 2013, little over a week after its direct competitor Sony's PlayStation 4 . These are two systems with comparable technical specifications (barring any non sequitur arguments about FPS ) and will feature much of the same games, along with a few exclusives. They differ from Nintendo's Wii U by being technical powerhouses that push us into the n...

With the official launch of Unreal Engine 4 , Epic Games has mentioned on the UE blog that anyone who pays the subscription fee will get access to the newest iteration of the engine as well as the full majority of C++ source on GitHub . This is a dramatically different from how things have worked in the past, where the license to use the complete engine was given out to developers based on spec...

Game engines are great things, able to take the weight off developing a game idea to let you focus on the idea itself. Powerful engines like the Unreal Engine , Source Engine and indie-darling Unity3D are examples of great tools built by people who want to make games bigger and better. Game engines provide developers with a slew of components and helpers they can use to build their games faster...
