Permadeath gaming has seen a huge resurgence over recent years. Giving players a single life or character with which to complete the game, games with permanent death as a mechanic are notoriously difficult, tasking players with keeping upmost concentration throughout their playthrough. More often than not, attempts may end in tears – but that won’t stop players from trying their hand once m
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 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
Perhaps one of the most famous indie games in recent years, FTL: Faster Than Light became a cult hit upon its release in 2012. The player takes control of the crew of a spaceship, tasked with delivering news of an incoming attack from a group of violent rebels. Along the way, the crew fights or evades space pirates, alien mantises, and dangerous environmental effects, all the while upgrading both crew and vessel to survive the void of sp
It would be a travesty to not include a recipe from the games only playable chef, Warly. Fresh Fruit Crepes can only be crafted with Warly’s Portable Crock Pot, which is exclusive to him. It requires a fruit value of 1.5, butter and honey. This can make it a tricky recipe to make but it is definitely worth
For instance, make sure that you place your Icebox, Crockpot, and any Drying Racks fairly close to each other. That way, when you’re pulling food out of the Icebox to put into the Crockpot, you can keep them both open at once and just toss ingredients in to make yourself a m
Remember that icebox we suggested you get before spring starts? You’re going to want to make sure it’s seriously full. Before and during the spring, you’re going to want to start stockpiling food. Both ingredients and pre-cooked meals are great to put in your ice
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
Surf ‘n’ Turf restores 60 health, 37.5 hunger and 33 points of sanity. This makes the dish better than waffles and especially useful around certain biomes. A further advantage of this dish is that you can pretty safely use up any and all monster meat you have laying aro
Plus, the rain during the spring can be a real drain on your sanity, so you’ll likely find yourself trying to manage your sanity more than in other seasons. Cooking various recipes is a good way to help manage your sanity, so you’ll need a crockpot. And, in order to keep your food fresher longer, you’ll need an ice
Mandrake Soup restores 100 health, 150 hunger and 5 sanity points. This actually puts it above the Fresh Fruit Crepes in keeping your character alive. There is no disadvantage to eating this recipe except that you’re using up a mandrake. Mandrakes are limited, about 2-5 per world. They’re often better used for crafting a pan flute or by keeping them in your inventory. The reason for this is twofold: mandrakes don’t spoil but the soup does and they can put other enemies to sleep when you eat t
While a good single-player is one of the main selling points for any Rockstar game, multiplayer always keeps these games living longer.

Woody Jackson’s original score for Red Dead Redemption II is among the best in the medium. Songs like “Outlaws from the West” and “American Venom” punctuate already great missions and heighten the experience much further than most ga
There are very few games that take place in a western setting and Red Dead Redemption II is easily the best there is. The massive landscape is ripe for exploration on horseback and the idea of role-playing as a cowboy is the biggest thrill of any game in the past dec
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 Battle Pass Rewards the idea of celebr
