Lords Of The Fallen 2 In Development
Released in October, Lords of the Fallen garnered a mixed critical reaction, dividing some over its profound willingness to use game mechanics defined by the ridiculously-revered Dark Souls games. Apparently Lords of the Fallen performed well enough for a sequel to be greenlit. According to Eurogamer, Producer Tomasz Gop posted…

Assassin’s Creed Unity Review
The Assassin’s Creed series seems to get more and more ambitious with every entry.

Showcasing Shinji Mikami’s return to the genre he helped to define, The Evil Within was playable at EGX 2014, so we decided to take a look. “It’s a hard game,” Bethesda warned us as we picked up our Xbox One controllers, but that only enticed us further. The demo threw…
