    Escapist News Now: Watch Ten Minutes of New Transistor PS4 Gameplay Preview!

    Really looking forward to this game. Loved bastion. I hope the plan for a PC release hasn't been delayed.

    GOG Adding Linux Support

    Its a good time to be a Linux gamer these days. I still use windows primarily for my steam, but the other day I checked my steam account and was pleasantly surprised how many games were available for Linux through there. Kickstarter has been a huge bonus in this regard, where many indie game...

    Dungeons & Dragons Down, Star Wars Up In Popular RPG List - Update

    Also, while numenera was more successful in money than fate core, fate was far more successful in terms of number of people reached (by having the game cheaper). I guess that works out better for them in the long run.

    Obsidian Delays Pillars of Eternity

    Kickstarter rewards are pretty much always delayed. I didn't back this one, but I did back torment and will probably buy this when its out. I'm glad they're taking their time to make it a good game.

    You Need to Play Warlock 2: The Exiled If You Like Fantasy Wargaming

    I really enjoyed the first one, but it ran a bit laggily on my computer. Less of a problem for a turn-based game than others, but I can see this one giving me more grief. None the less, all the changes made so far look for a better game, so I am excited to play it when it comes out.

    Starbound Sells One Million Copies While Still In Beta

    Haha, if you check the steam community pages and forums, you'll see that even with the developer being very explicit about the current expectations of the game (being in alpha/beta), there are a lot of people complaining about it being incomplete or a waste of money.

    Guild Wars 2: Our Story So Far Marks The Beginning Of The End

    The problem with living world, and guild wars 2 in general, is that the story is really poorly written. The game itself is a lot of fun, but almost everyone who plays it hates the main campaign story. So they do dungeons, boss fights, etc. as you would expect from an MMO, and that's fine, but...

    Evil Hat's Hicks Sings Kickstarter International Shipping Rates Blues

    ^Yes.. Obvious.. Anyway. I backed the kickstarter for fate at the international level. I feel a bit bad for them, as they're sending me so much stuff at the originally disclosed price, but suffering as the shipping levels have increased so much. I think now that the shipping levels have...

    Warlock 2: The Exiled Promises Turtle Wars, Fireballs

    Cool. I've just been getting really into the first game since it came out on humble bundle. Has a very master of magic feel.

    GOG Adds Stargunner to Free Games Library

    I used to play the demo for this all the time as a kid. I think you could already get it for free off the old apache games web-site though. I saw it there recently.

    Draw Something Studio Falls Victim to Zynga Cuts

    Technically it was free to play, as in you had to pay for new words and for new paint colours (which admittedly could be acquired through slow and tedious play, similar to LoL).

    Trailers: Dragon's Crown - Sorceress Trailer

    Honestly if the clothing stopped two inches higher I doubt the reaction would have been so high (games have had jiggling boobs for ages). Looking at the gameplay in that trailer you almost thought her boobs were hanging out, as opposed to just bouncing.

    Australian Parliament Subpoenas Microsoft, Apple on Price Hikes

    Sorry mate. I was talking about the guy you were replying to. I'm completely on your side with this, although I'm very sure that our minimum wage compares pretty similarly to US (and our GDP is much much lower). We always get lumped with you guys. I doubt its lack of research and more that its...

    Australian Parliament Subpoenas Microsoft, Apple on Price Hikes

    Did this guy even read what he was replying to? He goes and says this point about the wage in australia being higher as though we didn't think of it, even though the posts he was replying to not only said a) that we have heard this point, but more importantly b) that NZ has worse GDP than US and...

    Australian Parliament Subpoenas Microsoft, Apple on Price Hikes

    Agreed. As a New Zealander this excites me. One reason that commonly gets brought up about this is that Australians earn more than Americans so they can afford it. Even playing devil's advocate and assuming that is a fair argument, why does New Zealand still suffer the same prices compared to...
