Only months after the release of the critically and financially successful LA Noire, its developer Team Bondi is reportedly shutting its doors for good. After filing paperwork with the Australian Securities And Investments Commission, Bondi has been assigned a liquidator, who is to see that its debts are paid by selling off their remaining assets. This doesn't include the actual LA Noire property, though, which is still owned by Take-Two, and will likely continue to live on in some form or another.

Warning: the following trailer for the live-action Dragon Age: Redemption web series is rated F for Felicia Day, fangs, fast action and somewhat fake looking Qunari costumes.

It’s been a long, winding road for Assassin’s Creed’s Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Once a playboy bedding ladies all over Italy, he was violently pushed into the family business of righteous/sneaky murder. After avenging the wrongful executions of his father and brothers, Ezio’s travels had only begun, as he battled a corrupt Pope’s children while meeting historical figures like Machiavelli and da Vinci. And then there’s that whole thing about the secret of the creation of humanity. All that leads Ezio to his most recent (last?) adventure on Constantinople, as the video explains...

In our review of Rage – which we really enjoyed – we said that it “simply looks better than anything yet achieved this generation.” But there was a caveat: whenever things didn’t look good, it really stood out. Most notably, the textures could take a while to pop-in, causing weird visual issues that could make the amazing graphics look absolutely dated...

For years you’ve been doing your best to turn your 360 Avatar into Batman or the Joker. Still, despite your hard work it just didn’t look real enough, and you had to admit defeat.
