Wes is a tricky character. Being a mime, he can’t talk, and he has much less Health and Hunger than any of the other characters. His Hunger also drains faster than normal, and he cannot do as much damage. Based on all of that, Wes doesn’t sound too gr
Red Barrel games hold the torch for the horror genre and have shown that truly wonderful and remarkably well-produced experiences that focus on dis-empowering rather than empowering players can be profitable and popular. The AAA world has plenty to learn from their exam
Grand Theft Auto V’s story is not the best in the series but it succeeds in terms of its characters and humor. Franklin, Michael, and Trevor are all well-written characters that each have their own great scenes. A lot of the humor also derives from smart satire, such as the main story’s overall anti-capitalist message. There are also constant jabs at American culture and the idea of celebr
Warbucks – A longtime explorer, Warbucks is a big fan of money, gaining sanity the more Oincs that he holds. But be careful what you eat; Warbucks is picky. Anything that wasn’t prepared in a crockpot is liable to drive him to a mental breaking po
As you work, you will find yourself rejecting people who are of a different race, separating loved ones and keeping parents away from their children, all in order to keep your own family alive. You will realise that you are slowly becoming corrupted with the propaganda of the state in order to survive, the game inadvertently showing you how communist and fascist ideals creep into civilian life. It’s pretty smart st
Nothing sets the tone for a cowboy game quite like a banjo, but Mountain Banjo isn’t your typical hoedown, cheery and chipper square-dancing type song. A banjo has never sounded so cool or so dangerous as it has here, switchworlds.com and as YouTube user HPNomad points out , it’s a fretless banjo played with the clawhammer technique. Not gonna’ lie, that just sounds c
Oddly enough, the former ruler on the Nightmare Throne has the least to worry about of any of the characters. His Sanity stands at 200, and it recovers at a rate of 20 points per minute. It helps that he comes with the Codex Umbra, an item that requires Sanity to create Shadow Puppets (which can help you in combat or when gathering resourc
The game isn’t for every gamer, but if you are looking to escape reality and visit a pixelated haven, it is hard to look further than Proteus . As you explore, you will find a progression that you may find touching and profound in its simplicity, but really that is just an added bonus for getting to spend time in a digital E
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
God games are a genre that slowly died out over the last decade or so, but it was a genre defined by games like Black and White and Populus . It’s hard to find a good experience of late that allows you to control your earth and your population. If you long for such power once again, Reus is something you should consider giving a wh
There is a sharp thesis hiding behind the mechanics of the game, instead making Reus about balance rather than authoritative power, where the very people you are providing for, will just as likely destroy your equilibrium. They might even begin a revolt against you, neighboring populations and your massive avat
The game has some of the most inventive art direction this year, and the choices a player makes to define Conway are very subtle yet always intriguing. The narrative presentation is packed full of ideas, and while the meaning and subtext aren’t always entirely clear, it is hard not to get lost in this universe’s musi
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
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
