Weekend Sale Friday April 22nd

April 22, 2011 | | PC News

You’d think there would be more weekend sales themed around Easter this weekend, but there are only a few egg, bunny, and stigmata games in sight. That’s not a problem, because there are plenty of non-Easter games on sale, like an RPG blowout at the Electronic Arts store. Through this weekend you’ll get 33% off for Dragon Age, Ultima Online and Mass Effect, including special editions, and some DLC. I suppose that Commander Shepherd’s resurrection in Mass Effect 2 has a little bit of Easter to it, so that should give you an excuse to skip church on Sunday and play video games.

The Last Standalone Released

April 22, 2011 | | PC News

Arguably the most popular game mode of the Dawn of War II franchise, “The Last Stand” pits groups of three players against 20 waves of enemies, each harder than the last, building up to a finale wave that tests players’ mettle. It is the most played mode, due to its simplicity and ease to simply jump in and play. As a result, Relic has released “The Last Standalone”, which allows you to purchase the popular game mode, predictably enough, as a standalone package at a reduced price point.

Portal 2 Review

April 21, 2011 | | PC Reviews

Portal has become a household name in gaming, the first iteration being nothing more than an experiment which became a phenomenon that Valve, and the student developers of Narbacular Drop, could never have predicted. Portals, cakes, and science (because we can) quickly became the memes of the year and beyond as Portalpermeated gaming culture in a profound way. Valve was pleased with this, and set to work quickly on a sequel, promising a lot more than a small experimental game with its second coming. Has Portal 2 lived up to the expectations produced by the original? Read on to find out.

Consoles Get Free Alice Game With Madness Returns

April 20, 2011 | | PC News

XBox and PS3 owners who buy a new copy of the upcoming goth girl action game Alice Madness Returns will get a download code for a free copy of American McGee’s Alice, the first game in the series. Unfortunately, PC gamers aren’t so lucky, even though Alice originated on our platform. The nice fellows at EA’s marketing department had better rectify this situation quickly, or there will only be one solution: Off with their heads!

RAGE Preview

April 20, 2011 | | PC Features

At first glance, id Software’s RAGE appears to follow in the
visual style of Borderlands, with a
post-apocalyptic setting ravaged by raiders and small hamlets barricaded with
corrugated metal and junk. However, where Borderlands fell short in
terms of depth, it quickly becomes clear that RAGE has much more in
mind. Visually on par with any contemporary title and free of stylistic conceits, RAGE
comes across as a gritty and dark shooter set in a fictional earth dotted with
ruins; the land’s many denizens having developed a variety of factions to replace
those destroyed in the cataclysm.
