Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars isn’t a historical game in the sense that it transports the players back in time – although, the game was made in 1996 so it could be considered a modern-day historical piece. It is, however, a point-and-click adventure game that gives players a lot of historical insight into the Knights Temp
Following the negative reception to what fans have rightly decried as shamelessly Pay to Win in a way which ruins gameplay balance, EA promised that things would be different when the game finally releases on November 17. They’ve assured players that the system will be more balanced than it was in the Beta, but time will tell if that ultimately pans out in favor of the play
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter was released on the PC, PlayStation 3 and the Xbox One in 2016. It’s a Victorian-era detective game based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic detective. The game’s setting is roughly set around the same time as Assassin’s Creed: Syndic
You play as Link, who must stop the deadly Calamity Ganon from destroying Hyrule. Familiar Zelda mechanics are present in this game, like puzzle-solving, side quests, and more. You can personalize your adventure and play it any way you want to, with a massive, sprawling, open world to expl
There have been plenty of video games based on the work of J.R.R. Tolkien over the years, though not all of them have quite lived up to the excellence of the great author . With its fantastic nemesis system and well-refined combat mechanics though, that’s not really a criticism that could ever be levied against the fantastic Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mord
We have no idea what’s going on with the Spike VGX this year or even if there will be one. The annual celebrity-fueled, ad-hungry video games event was consistently chock full of controversy and disdain from the gamer community which is why last year host and producer Geoff Keighley helped re-brand the Spike Video Game Awards into the Spike VGX. It was a ratings success but still begged the question of whether it should contin
The 2013 show, co-hosted by Joel McHale ( Community ) was more about the developers and awards, more about new announcements and loving the community. Despite a lot of awkward moments, last year’s event was an improvement over years past but this year, Keighley is out. He and Spike (and owner Viacom) gracefully parted ways (apparently) and instead, Geoff Keighley is hosting a brand new, non-network-reliant game show, simply titled The Game Awards 2014 . And he’s doing it with the backing of Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and bevvy of top game publish
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider , Lara Croft finally becomes the tomb raider, and the game marks the height of Lara’s skills and resourcefulness. In this game, Lara is no longer the naive and vulnerable young explorer that she was in 2013’s Tomb Raider , but the gameplay allows her to use her surroundings to camouflage and perform brutal stealth kills. Lara also masters all her weapons in this game, including the deadly bow and arrow introduced in 2013. Lara Croft is by far the toughest that she has ever been in Shadow of the Tomb Raid
The nominations for the first ever edition of The Game Awards were unveiled this morning and include the standard set of genre-based categories, a fan category for most anticipated title of 2015 (which mostly includes delayed games) and as a bonus, some love for famous YouTube celebs and eSports teams to help spread the word and bring in the “hardcore” crowd for appro
With the nominations coming before the year’s end, we’re faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014’s titles being included (like Ubisoft’s The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year’s biggest titles ( Assassin’s Creed Shadows Updates|https://creedshadowgame.com/ Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn’t make the
For the first time in the series’ history, Battlefield V included a chapter that follows the story of a female soldier , Solveig. Solveig is affiliated with the indigenous resistance movement opposing the German occupying forces in Norway, and despite being young, she is a well-trained and effective soldier during the war. Solveig survives the Norwegian cold and avoids Nazis patrolling the woods during the campaign, as she is in search of her mother. We have not seen many playable female soldiers in the past, and Solveig definitely sets a high standard for female soldiers in future ga
The Knights Templar, of course, are the main antagonists in the Assassin’s Creed series as they are in Broken Sword . Fans of that series that have a passing interest in the history of the Templars which this game delves very deeply into. Furthermore, it is suspected by fans that the game’s narrative was an influence on Dan Brown’s Davinci Code no
