I never thought I’d want to play a DC superhero fighting game, but then again, I never thought I’d want to play anotherMortal Kombatafter the series’ decline in the ’00s. Once again, NetherRealm is changing my mind. Injustice: Gods Among Usstands out for its bold twists on the genre, not its cast of DC characters. After getting my hands on the game, I was pleasantly surprised by how great it looks and plays....

Since the developer wants to make sure it’s the best product it can be, the game comes to Steam Early Access on October 6.

There’ll be four out of the eight planned factions and Amplitude will be paying close attention to feedback using theGAMES2GETHERprogram....
The point-and-click puzzler comes to PC on August 21 Playing through the NES port ofShadowgateis one of my fondest memories of gaming during the late eighties. In fact,Shadowgatewas my very first exposure to the point-and-click genre. Coming from a family of die-hard luddites and technophobes, my access to personal computers was pretty much limited to waiting in line at the public library to playZORK.So, unfortunately, I had to go without the exotic pleasures of the personal computer and settle for what was available to me on consoles at the time....

Raven Software concentrated on slowing gunfights inWarzoneby adjustinglocational damage modifiersto be more consistent across the board. Even after doing that, there are instances where it feels like you die extremely fast. The battle royale has a relatively quick time-to-kill and there are a few weapons that are much faster than others....

When it was announced thatBaldur’s Gatewasgetting an enhanced editioncourtesy of Overhaul Games, we broke out the champagne and didn’t look back. We’re a rather excitable bunch, after all. The news of this expanded version coming to iPad slipped by undetected until now, but rest assured, we’ve got confetti. The blog post detailing this doesn’t offermuch insightoutside of a vague description of what’s included — the “Tales of the Sword Coast” expansion and never-before-seen content (a new adventure and party member) — but there are a handful of images....

Jack of all trades, master of none Recently, we got word of howPoseidon’s crewwould roll inGod of War: Ascension, and now we have some info on Hades’ posse. Evidently, followers of Hades don’t particularly excel at offense or defense, but through spells like curse, drain life, and invisibility, they can coast into various roles. So his faction poses a challenge to players to overcome statistical deficiencies, and offers them interesting abilities?...
