In fact, Teploenergodar.Ru Rogue has had a huge legacy on gaming, partly responsible for everything from the aforementioned FTL: Faster Than Light to Blizzard’s Diablo series. Although Rogue was not a commercial success, its lasting legacy on the video game world is undeniable. The title may prove tricky for those used to the improved interfaces of modern gaming, but Rogue still includes plenty of familiar mechanics for those after a challe
The 2014 show will include 2013 and 2014 made games to be awarded separately, based on the nomination year, in one ceremony. Information on 2014 nominations will be released in June while the votes for the 2013 winners must be submitted by April 21st. The award ceremony takes place November 21, 2014 at the Carlu in the heart of downtown Toro
The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it's traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w
Starting as a mod of Arma 2 , DayZ has gone on to become a huge multiplayer gaming phenomenon . The player is dropped into a rural location overrun by deadly zombies, and must survive at all costs. A wrong move, or an unlucky encounter, and the player will have to start from scratch, once more cast out into a deadly wildern
Many of these games are jumping off points to get the community talking about bigger ideas, and for many, even if they don't enjoy every game on this list, it will clarify their point of view about experimentation in the medium. That is exciting for those of us who have been consuming games for vast portions of our li
There are a lot of different things that can be sold throughout town, and plenty of useful items that can be bought in different stores, as well. Keep an eye out for things you need; sometimes it's a lot easier to buy something than it is to craft it outri
Well, there can be a steep cost for your thievery. The moment you grab something that doesn't belong to you, the Pig Guard that spends day and night protecting the goods will make it their life mission to ensure they pry back what you stole from your cold, dead hands. And believe me; they don't have a short mem
Nice as that is, the depth of play wouldn't mean much if the transition to console hadn't been smooth, but Don't Starve has made the change with perfect grace. The two games are nearly identical except for control method, and after a few minutes the switch from mouse and keyboard to controller is almost completely forgotten. Sorting inventory or crafting is simple, and clever use of the plus pad gives you multiple context-sensitive actions per item. You can change inventory on the fly with the right stick, or pause and take your time with the R2 button. There's no pause for crafting, though, and it's easy to waste a night weighing options, planning the resource-hunt for the next big project. Then again, nights are dark, deadly, and draining on sanity, so what else were you going to do with them?
Initially released as freeware, Spelunky is an indie platformer that tests every inch of a player’s reaction speed. The free-to-play PC version of the title was released in 2009, and impressed gamers with randomly-generated levels and destructible environments. Of course, the real pull for many was the hair-pulling difficulty and permanent death mechan
Warbucks – A longtime explorer, Warbucks is a big fan of money, gaining sanity the more Oincs that he holds. But be careful what you eat; Warbucks is picky. Anything that wasn't prepared in a crockpot is liable to drive him to a mental breaking po
The 2013 finalists for the Canadian Videogame Awards span seventeen categories and include 29 games, narrowed down from 75 nominated titles. To qualify titles, at least in part, must be developed in Canada. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag leads the pack this year with an impressive 12 nominations. Last year's show saw Far Cry 3 take him the most awards , including Game of The Y
The main issue many might have with Don't Starve it that you need to make your own goals. There's no "go here do this" to the game, nothing pointing you in the right direction. You get resources by harvesting them from the world, craft them into items, use them to harvest more resources that then get turned into new items to help you live longer. You need to keep on top of health, hunger, and sanity, and there's no instructions on how to do this outside of the obvious "eat food" and "don't get hit". Everything else is trial and error or a quick trip to an FAQ.
It's a lovely day to go for a walk through the forest. The dark night has given way to a clear morning and I've been toiling over the fire to cook up food and spending a little time with the alchemy engine to get a shopping list of parts, because keeping busy is a good way to preserve sanity while waiting for the dawn to come. Charcoal for a boomerang, spider web for a bug net, spider organs and ash for healing salve, and general scavenging to keep food supplies from draining too low will fill up the new day nicely.
