After the in(s)anity of Hitman: Absolution‘s latex-clad-nuns-slaughtering first trailer, perhaps it is time to give Agent 47 another chance? In The Kill, our favourite bald assassin shows off the tricks of the trade, right after the jump.
These interactive trailer thingy-mabobs are popular aren’t they? Today Arkane Studios presents an impressively complex and varied video adventure of an early Dishonored level which poses more questions than it answers.
As previously promised, but four weeks later than expected, Steam has now added a collection of non-game programs all of which have a creative bent.
Introversion Software, poster children of British independent games until indie games exploded into the mainstream, have finally made their new game Prison Architect available, albeit in an alpha state. It is so alpha that they list Game Breaking Bugs as a feature. Take the jump for details and silly voices.
This is a pleasant surprise. Far more present than ending a turn with no action points left only for a posse of extra-terrestrials to step around the corner with plasma rifles blasting. Fingers crossed that doesn’t happen to you. In a rare event for the medium these days, but which appropriately reminds us of what was common place back in 1994, Firaxis Games has released a demo of XCOM, their upcoming remake X-COM: Enemy Unknown. The demo can be acquired from…
Game fans are wonderfully creative people. As a community, we constantly see costumes and theatre, weapon replicas, game-inspired fashion, original and covered game songs, fan-art and fan-fiction. Every now and again a short film will come around with results varying from “Huh, kinda cool,” and “Holy cow, so… so beautiful *sniff*”. A director glorying in the name Wade K.

Well, it’s official. What was hinted and suspected, since a promised announcement failed to appear in July, has become public. Legendary adventure games designer Charles Cecil, head of Revolution Software, announced via Twitter today that there will be a new installation in the Broken Sword series of games. A Kickstarter has been organised to fund speed and polish in development.
Sleeping Dogs has been out for a week now and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Now you can experience a slice of Hong Kong for free with bites of kick-ass kung fu and rather more mediocre gunplay picked out from the full experience and slammed together into a demo. It is available on PC (via Steam), Xbox 360 and PS3. What more is there to say? … No, nothing. Go, play, check it out.
It was always clear that the city of Dunwall is a cesspit of filth and corruption and not a little blood. Until now, screenshots and videos have only scratched the surface with their rats and tired-eyed prostitutes. Here we have some signs of the true madness in the heart of Dishonored, after the jump.
At long, long, long last we are days away from the release of the final Meet the Team machinima. As is tradition, it is accompanied by a game update to Team Fortress 2 which will be described incrementally, day by day, over the next 50 hours. The first briefcase full of intelligence reveals to us a new game type, a new level in that type and the names of eleven new achievements. Plus, there is a page of period faux-vertising!…
