Yo ho ho and a barrel of RPG fun!

MMO Remorse

These should've stayed offline.

Legend of Grimrock Review

A great old-school dungeon.

Everybody loves Rayman -- especially in co-op.
Free-to-play agrees with this super MMO.
Action and strategy collide over land, sea, and air.
Don't call it "just another zombie game!"

PAX East: First Look at World of Warplanes

By Mike Sharkey | PC Previews | Apr 7, 2012 6:30 PM | Comment

Wargaming CEO Victor Kisly admits it. Even with the runaway success of World of Tanks globally, tanks are more of a Russian thing. Dog fighting P-51 Mustangs, though, are as American as Abe Lincoln's beard. That's why Wargaming is so excited about World of Warplanes. And after seeing the game in action for the first time at PAX East, I've got to admit I'm excited, too. Read More »

10 Things Learned From 4 Hours in World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

By Leif Johnson | PC Previews | Apr 7, 2012 3:01 PM | Comment

I know a few of you will hate me for saying this, but I think I like Blizzard's Pandaland. After the chaos of Cataclysm, such a bright and welcoming landscape feels like coming back to a remodeled home. My concern instead lies not with the Pandaren or their Asian-themed wonderland, but rather with a return of a sense of easiness and accessibility that was the hallmark of the Wrath of the Ling King expansion. This could work two ways: it could bring back the millions of subscribers that expansion brought to Blizzard, or it could chase away players already dissatisfied by similar moves toward the end of Cataclysm.

PAX East: Fans Help Re-Engineer Firefall

By Mike Sharkey | PC Previews | Apr 6, 2012 4:30 PM | Comment

After watching Executive Producer James Macauley destroy an oozing, alien-hatching plant in a PAX East demo for Firefall, I asked him if the plant had devoured the Michelin Man. Why else would it explode car tires? Turns out the tire is just a placeholder image until the design team creates suitable plant guts. It's also a good example of where Firefall is in terms of development: beta. Not the month-before-launch-demo-betas that have become common over the past few years, but a true, rubber-tires-instead-of-plant-guts beta. There is still a long way to go before Firefall is all it can be, and Red 5 is leaning on its community to help get it there. Read More »

Torchlight 2 May Be Out Sooner Than You Think

By Kat Bailey | PC News | Apr 6, 2012 3:33 PM | Comment

Diablo III will finally be released next month, but Torchlight II's own street date remains a nebulous "TBA 2012." It may, however, be arriving sooner than you think.

Free Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer DLC Coming Next Week, Adds Geth and Batarians

By Dan Stapleton | PC News | Apr 6, 2012 12:58 PM | Comment

Whether or not it's in response to criticism, it's gotten a little tougher to bash EA for not giving away free updates. First there was the Mass Effect 3 Extended Cut announcement, and now there's Resurgence, a pack of new multiplayer maps, characters, and weapons that will arrive for free next week on April 10. Not a moment too soon, either -- the five maps that came included were starting to get more than a little stale. See below for the trailer and a full list of new content. Read More »

PAX East: A Very PC Gaming Expo

By Mike Sharkey | PC News | Apr 6, 2012 11:04 AM | Comment

PAX East is on. An estimated 70,000 gamers are expected to descend upon the Boston Convention Center over the next three days for the East Coast version of the Penny Arcade Expo, and those that do will find a very PC friendly show floor. With no Activision or EA mega booths, PC-centric designers like Riot Games (League of Legends), Red 5 (Firefall), and Hi-Rez (Tribes: Ascend) have big, noticeable footprints, and are giving PAX East a decidedly PC feel.

New Torchlight 2 Video Unleashes a Berserker Frenzy

By Dan Stapleton | PC News | Apr 6, 2012 3:26 AM | Comment

At this point I have to doubt that Torchlight 2 will beat Diablo 3 to release, but every scrap of information I see just further convinces me that it'll be worth the wait. For example, here's a feature that the original Torchlight didn't have: a charge bar. It's a simple doodad, but one that can make a big difference in a fight. This video shows off the Berserker class' Frenzy: after you've charged it up by smacking things as normal, Frenzy activates and makes every hit a critical for a short time. Read More »

Lone Survivor Review

By Nathan Grayson | PC Reviews | Apr 6, 2012 2:28 AM | Comment

When I reached the end of Lone Survivor, my playtime very clearly read 4:26. Four hours and 26 minutes. For a moment, I thought I'd taken on the defining characteristic of my delirious mask-wearing avatar; I thought I'd gone mad. But then I realized there were two reasons for my gut-wrenching, tear-jerking adventure's relative brevity: 1) I had come so very, very far -- always with Death's door seemingly inches away -- both in terms of survival skills and character development, and 2) I'd fumbled around in the frustrating darkness that is trial-and-error for an extra two hours or so. Both of those facts form Lone Survivor's gnarled but never-stopping heart -- sometimes messy, occasionally offbeat, but more often than not, amazing. Read More »
