Would-be cosmonauts need to be careful, however, as FTL: Faster Than Light combines a number of intimidating roguelike elements to make the game as threatening as possible. Not only are all crew members expendable, but if the ship itself is destroyed, then the player will have to start the game over from scratch. Given the title's random encounters and overall structure, gamers need to prepare both their crew and their ship for any possible scena
But the release wasn't the end for Don't Starve . A year later, an expansion called Reign of Giants was released. A little over a year after that, another expansion, Shipwrecked , released. And now, three years after Shipwrecked, the next expansion has arrived: Ham
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
Games are always at their best when there is more than meets the eye. Some kind of underlining subversion to the tasks you are partaking in. Last year, Spec Ops: The Line and Far Cry 3 were prime examples of this. This year, Papers, Please is the owner of that cr
Anybody who's made it past the first couple days of Don't Starve knows to grab flint , and a lot of it. But in Hamlet, flint doesn't seem to be as readily available. Don't worry, it's not rare, just hidden. There will be quite a few rocks that you can flip scattered around the new game-world, and underneath can be any number of things — one of the most useful being fl
Indeed, Don’t Starve has become a commercial hit in its own right, with Klei Entertainment releasing numerous versions of the title. Don’t Starve Together is a multiplayer version of the survival smash, and is currently in early access, whilst Don’t Starve: Giant Edition was released for PS Vita, PS3, and Wii U. Meanwhile, the developer is currently working on Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked , which gives players additional charact
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
Another useful resource that you'll need to work a little harder to get is grass. There are plenty of patches of tall grass around, but you'll need to craft a machete in order to snag some. Around the Hamlet, there are some normal patches of grass you can grab, though; just make each bit count until you've got that mach
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons was possibly the one standout title to come out of the XBLA this year and hace since made its way onto the PC (and PS3) so you have little excuse to not experience the often underrated Starbreeze Studios g
While you'll certainly still need to craft armor and weapons, you don't need to worry about it right off that bat. Pretty soon into the SLG game Strategy, you'll be attacked by a couple of Vampire Bats , basically the equivalent of the Hounds in the vanilla game. They might seem formidable, but you really don't need to deal with them much at all, provided you're near the Hamlet. Run right over to some of the Pig Guards, and they'll take care of those Vampire Bats for you. Just be sure not to accidentally hit one of the guards; they don't seem to take that very w
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
Players should not get too attached to the characters on show, however. Death in Fire Emblem is a huge ordeal to overcome, as the defeat of a character means that they will not return for any future battles – a particularly terrifying prospect when a gamer has spent untold hours training them up. Although some games in the series have offered a more lenient approach to character death, the threat of a mortality is still a very present dan
If you like living dangerously, then there are plenty of resources readily available to you. There are a variety of Pig Farms around the outside of the Hamlet ripe with food, flowers, and grass. Why earn it if you can just take
Meandering around on your first day grabbing food, flowers, and sticks is always vital in Don't Starve , but make sure you keep moving; the sooner you find the Hamlet, the better. There are light sources in the town that you can huddle around at night, saving you from having to build a fire right off the bat. When you do build a fire, I'd recommend doing so out of the Pig Guards sight; while they're friendly (provided you don't break any Pig Laws), they will scramble to put out your fire the moment they see
