Duty and Freedom are a classic division between order and chaos. Duty is all about hierarchy and control of the Zone, while Freedom cherishes individuality and the liberty to explore the bizarre landscape of Chornobyl. Both are large and powerful, and as GSC Game World has stated in STALKER 2’s Developer Diary, their actions will once again play a large role in the landscape of the Zone in STALKER 2....
So, where is the extra money going? To stretch goals that help the team at Cloud Imperium Games develop and expand features they couldn’t otherwise implement, and to set the groundwork for additional features and expansion that can come once the game launches next November. At this point it’s a little unclear what the “release” of Star Citizen means when November 2014 comes around or if that date will hold up since it’s still early - sames goes for what exactly will be ready, if it will be labeled a “beta,” etc....
Heart of the Swarm releases March 12th, 2013 - meaning it will fight alongside other tempting new titles like Gears of War: Judgement Day, Tomb Raider and God of War: Ascension. While we predicted a 2013 release date back in July, most fans will simply be happy that Blizzard has set the release date in stone for the second of three campaigns, a date which has left fans guessing wildly at potential release windows as news trickled out about new features being developed....
Behind this intriguing battle that went on all year is that of two Australians, Steve Smith and David Warner. The pair have exchanged third spot with regularity in the last months but it is the Australian captain, courtesy of his best score of 2016 (165*) in the final Test of the year, who takes third sport ahead of David Warner. Both Australians have crossed 2,000 runs in international cricket in 2016 and are one of only four to have done so in 2016....
Zoe Levenson (Anna Kendrick) is the one who dies at the end of the movie as she has to head out of the shuttle during a solar storm. Though we do not see her die, we do see her passively accept her fate as she faces a lethal dose of radiation. Why exactly she chooses to head out in conditions that were almost certain to kill her is not explored in dialogue, but there are a number of incidents throughout the movie that may explain her actions....
In a statement, Trump condemned the Oscars for promoting the Democratic Party and having a “far less important and elegant name” than the Academy Awards. “What used to be called The Academy Awards, and now is called the ‘Oscars’—a far less important and elegant name—had the lowest Television Ratings in recorded history, even much lower than last year, which set another record low,” he wrote. On Tuesday, Nielsen data showed that the Oscars telecast on ABC drew in an average of 10....
In the footage, Lauren Sanchez can be seen having a fangirl moment by briefly putting her arms around the Titanic star. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is seen standing alongside his partner while she is busy speaking to DiCaprio, looking visibly smitten by the actor. Following the release of the video, social media users reacted to the encounter with a plethora of hilarious reactions and funny comments. The clip has already garnered nearly 10 million views....
What was only once believed to be a pipe dream explored by clever hackers is finally coming to fruition tomorrow, as Skyrim is getting an update that allows players to complete a wide variety of moves using Kinect. First teased by Bethesda during a GDC panel, this Kinect support for Skyrim has been highly anticipated. To help usher Skyrim players, both new and old, into the world of Kinect voice commands Bethesda has released a comprehensive list of all 200 commands that will be available....
For the most part, the video game industry has steered clear of mimicking the slasher film, besides games based on the aforementioned films, such as the abysmal NES adaptation of Friday the 13th. However, for one reason or another, creating a game in the spirit of the old 1980s slasher movies seems to be the latest craze, and we can add yet another one to the list with the newly revealed Slasher Vol 1: Summer Camp....
Compared to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’s speedy exo suits, Battlefield’s focus on building destruction and even the Sniper Elite franchise (which has plenty of stealth but its biggest draw is its gory X-Ray kills), Sniper: Ghost Warrior probably seems subdued. And, it’s this take on war that has made the franchise one one of the most popular titles in the CI Games roster, with over 5.5 million copies sold....
According to the official financial report from Sega, Sonic Generations will also be available on the PC and the Nintendo 3DS. Sega released a chart detailing all of their upcoming titles, and there were only two 3DS games on the list: Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Sonic Generations. This was a little baffling, since the game had only been previously announced for the 360 and PS3....
Episode 1 offers players 4 Zones, each consisting of 4 Acts. The iPhone edition of Sonic 4 includes two exclusive levels that won’t be in the console versions of the game. All of the Zones in the game are beautifully designed, with a perfect mixture of 2D and 3D platforming. None of the Acts are too long or too difficult. The whole game evokes a very warm sense of nostalgia, and will likely take fans right back to the days when they played the original Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis....
[HTML1] 2010’s Splinter Cell: Conviction brought Sam Fisher a long way from his mid-aughties hedey of silence, shadows, and frequent no-kill/no-detection missions. Just as Sam’s government superspy status was stripped away, so, too, was the imperative of invisibility, those ever-present tracks to be hidden at all costs. But stealth has always been a staple of Ubisoft’s legendary franchise, and for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, fans have been eager to see how the team in Toronto is re-incorporating the style back into gameplay....
In a viral clip on TikTok, Billie the dog can be seen pretending to ignore his owner before making adorable facial expressions while being asked to move into his own bed. After almost a minute, the Australian kelpie begrudgingly gets into his own bed, which is on the floor next to theirs. The TikTok user, hannahbusuttil3, has received more than 250 comments, many of which have rhapsodized about Billie’s eyes as he makes his bid for the bed....
Well, almost everything. While Star Wars: Battlefront will let players battle in a variety of locations from the original trilogy, the prequels and upcoming sequels won’t make an in-game appearance. That means that players might be able to duke it out on snowbound Hoth or the forest moon of Endor, but anyone who wants to visit planets like The Phantom Menace’s Naboo or the cloning facility on Kamino is plain out of luck....
The Old Republic already boasts more than one million registered users since launching December 20, 2011. However, BioWare and Electronic Arts will continue to steadily pulse players into the game through the holiday period and into 2012 by limiting supply in order to create a smooth and more enjoyable player experience - all the while growing the community further. Industry acclaim has been very positive, with a Metacritic score, as of this writing, at 88% - though the user score is considerably lower at 6....
Following the leak, Blizzard have released a Campaign Trailer for the expansion, dragging attention away from the cinematic teaser and more towards the in-game action. The trailer features a lot of baneling action, which is sure to please the inner Michael Bay in all of us - with excessive explosions. You’ll also get a nice preview of the subtle upgrades to the menu system, which remains largely unchanged from what you’d see in Wings of Liberty - idle screens exist for the purpose of upgrading units, performing research and no doubt communicating with important characters from the campaign....
All roommate pairings were announced in a live video shared on the pageant’s official Facebook page on Monday. That means Miss Grand Ukraine, Olga Vasyliv, and Miss Grand Russia, Ekaterina Astashenkova, will reside together for what the competition schedule indicates will be weeks of events. As the war in Ukraine has stretched on for more than seven months, Russia has faced widespread condemnation, sanctions and other attempts to exclude it from economic and diplomatic spheres due to its attack on the neighboring nation....
Well, the team that treated their own end of the ice like a minefield a year ago while surrendering a league-worst 296 goals has allowed only five in three games, so far, in 2018-19 after Monday’s 4-0 home-ice matinee shutout over the San Jose Sharks. “It’s about defensive structure, but above all it’s about effort and commitment,” Islanders captain Anders Lee explained. “You can tell it’s there and that every guy takes pride in it....
Just about the time that some gamers were beginning to lose hope (or, possibly, interest) in continuing their Skyrim adventures on PS3 and PC, it sounds as though Bethesda is getting close to making an official announcement. Last week, Pete Hines, a Bethesda marketing executive, angered Elder Scrolls fans with an overly-cryptic response to questions about a PS3 and PC “Dawnguard” timeline - since Microsoft’s 30 day timed exclusivity was about to expire:...
