Featuring 3D visuals, a fully voiced cast, and plenty of old school puzzles,City of Secretsis a pretty cool game for fans of the ol’ point n’ click....
Square Enix tends to impress me with its original mobile efforts, even though itcanf*ck off for some of theFinal Fantasycrap they put on iOS.Imaginary Range, discussed this weekendour round up, is a rather inventive little experience that’s worth picking up. Imaginary Range blends comic books and games, with interactive features driving the story forward. It’s an interesting concept, it costs nothing, and there’s some decent background music jogging it along. I reckon you’d do well to get it, if you haven’t already....
Evil publisher Activision won no friends in the gaming community when it decided toraise the UK RRP ofModern Warfare 2to $54.99, and villainous CEO Bobby Kotick didn’t help when he joshed that he’draise prices even higherif he could. The downtrodden UK gamer scene has had enough, and has set upa futile petitionto try and make the nefarious company see sense. There is absolutely no way in Hell that this petition will work....

Be cool, angry liberals — this isn’t some sort of wire-tapping, waterboarding simulation we’re talking about, here. No, Homeland Security’s training game is a perfectly admirable attempt to train first responders on how to react to catastrophic events: from WMDs to wild gunmen,Ground Truthsimulates every worst case scenario imaginable and forces the player (who might one day have to deal with the real thing) to handle it. Donna Djordjevich discussed the game in this morning’s Serious Games lecture, “The Ground Truthof Game Technologies for Homeland Security Training....
YouTuberPlayinghalotodayis the genius/idiot that produced all of the glitches you are about to see. He uses bizarre techniques to get outside of the game’s maps. How? By walking on the heads of other players of course.
Let me be perfectly honest here: I haven’t playedCryostasismyself. My PC isn’t up to snuff; you know how it goes. However, I have heard mostly good things about the (reportedly) creepy game, and Amazon has got apretty sweet dealon it good for today only. Perhaps the coolest thing about the game is its plot. You venture through a shipwrecked nuclear icebreaker and relive the memories of the ship’s dead crew in order to find out what went horribly wrong and even alter history so that the crash doesn’t occur....

So the beta would run roughly four months?...

Well, the swan song has finished, and the game has finally left this world not with a bang, but with a whimper. Halo 2was down to only a handful of players of last week, before one man was left....
