Chinatown: Videogames versus reality
PC Feature | Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines

Thanks to two films - Chinatown and Blade Runner - every action game is practically required to have a Chinatown level. It’s not the Chinatown you see in real-life - a thriving community and marketplace established over a unique hybrid of  Western and Chinese culture – no, it’s all neon signs and gangsters, dragon statues and tile roofs. A lot of tile roofs. And it's usually in the future or ...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Special Report (Day 5)
PC Feature | Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
For the final day of our Vanguard mega-info explosion, we've saved the best for last. Massively multiplayer games are about more than combat (no matter how rich a system one might employ), and Vanguard: Saga of Heroes provides more alternatives to hacking and slashing by offering two additional spheres for class advancement: crafting and diplomacy. We'll begin by taking a look at crafting and giving you an insider's perspective from Senior Designer Salim Grant. In the second section of today's ...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Special Report (Day 4)
PC Feature | Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
"The biggest weakness of our grouping system could be that grouping is actually too fun," proclaimed the mighty Darrin MacPherson, Senior Game Designer on Vanguard: Saga of Heroes... and after logging a few hours in the sprawling land of Telon, we'd be inclined to agree. This is not to say that you can't "solo" (MMO-ese for playing all by yourself) in Vanguard. The team at Sigil has been sure to include plenty of quests and adventures for individuals who would rather go it alone, but the most ...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Special Report (Day 3)
PC Feature | Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Now that you have an idea of what kind of adventurers you can step into to quest through the land of Telon, we figured you might need an idea of the kind of foes you'll be facing. To that end, we sat down with Senior Artist Minoh Kim and Artist Rick Winter and shot question after question about the tons of monsters they'd created, and continue to create, in the ...

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes - Special Report (Day 2)
PC Feature | Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
There are actually three different Spheres of classes in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes (didn't we mention that this game is huge?). In this portion of the preview, we'll focus on the Adventuring Sphere of classes which you'll select when you initially create your character. (We'll cover the Crafting and Diplomacy Spheres later in the week.) Your Adventuring class determines what kind of skills your character will be able to learn as you gain experience. These skills are predominantly combat based, ...

PC - This is Vegas - This is This is Vegas

Whereas some people feel the need to keep the map of their open-ended sandbox city under lock and key, a mysterious conglomerate called Boyercrop has seen fit to send us a detailed, and remarkably tourist friendly, visual aid on the thrills that await you in Midway's This is Vegas. It's everything you need to plan your descent into debauchery later this year, packed with enough coupons and boobies to keep the Missus safely at home. (They had us at the 99 cent Texas-Mesquite Fudge Sundae!) ...

PC - Viva Pinata - The Top 7… greenest games

How noble, the human species! Once a year we selflessly take a break from wrapping products in toxic plastics and burning piles of old tires to appease this stupid, stupid planet we live on. How dare it demand more trees, breathable air and animals that don’t choke to death on our trash? ...
