Every game needs a villain, andLife is Strange: Double Exposurehas a few different options, depending on how you view the characters and their actions. Lucas, for one thing, has made some disastrous choices even in the short time we’ve known him. But it goes further than that. Lucas has been makingterrible decisionsfor at least the four years since he decided to plagiarize one of his students’ work. The move led to huge success for him, but for Maya, it led to depression and, ultimately, her death at her own hands....

Now you have no excuse! Kentucky Route Zero,an intriguing and super weird adventure game, has made its way toSteam, courtesy of Greenlight. Though I don’t normally enjoy point-and-click adventure games,Kentucky Route Zeroblew me away with its superb writing and lack of puzzles. Only the first act is currently available, but the following four will be unlocked on Steam once they are released. If you already bought the game through the developer’swebsite, you should have received an email about claiming a Steam key through the Humble Store....

My plastic surgeon doesn’t want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose After more than a decade of ignoring fighting games (Super Smash Bros.notwithstanding),Divekick!did a lot to reignite my interest in the genre. By kicking out conventions and reimagining what a fighting game can be, it became a weird distillation of fighting games while existing as its own completely unique thing.

Did you manage to snag one? If you knew that “each [retail] store is being given their final allotment” but had been hoping that more Pip-Boys would go into production, the outlook isn’t good, I’m afraid – the manufacturer ofFallout 4‘s Collector’s Edition Pip-Boy accessory is physically unable to meet demand. Talking toGameSpotat QuakeCon, Bethesda’s marketing VP Pete Hines confirmed that Bethesda has “reached a point where we’d go back to the factories and they were like, ‘guys, this is it, sorry....

Sky’s the limit Dreams are the stuff of infinity, the only real limitation being the bounds of your unconscious imagination. That’s not much of a limitation at all. Your brain could have anything in store on any given night — from the blanket warmth of the comfortable and pleasant, to the sheer terror of death by axe murder. Maybe this time you won’t have any teeth. Who knows. Dreams(this time italicized and almost always preceded by the words “Media Molecule’s”) is that same sort of blank slate....

While everybody was busy pointing their gaze on theGrand Theft Auto Vannouncement trailer, Rockstar quietly dropped a few new screenshots on theMax Payne 3website. Say what you will about the new look of Max, He scares the hell out of me. I remember the tagline for the originalMax Payne, “Do not cross a man with nothing to lose.” But the cover had this good looking guy with a nice jacket and a gun....

SHODAN is pleased Fans of the upcomingSystem Shockremake should find this trailer enjoyable. Nightdive Studios is making steady progress on the title and this trailer gives us a small glimpse of some of the new technology in play (Unreal Engine 4).

It pushed the first-person genre forward in a lot of huge ways, even if its original control scheme was convoluted beyond reason....

Twenty nineteen everyone, twenty nineteen I’m a man of science. I know there are people who are way smarter than I am who know what they are talking about when it comes to their field of study. Even as someone educated in a scientific field, I understand that while I may be an expert, there are others who are far more knowledgeable than I and defer to their experiences and studies....
