It also has vehicles, armor, and immortal super-soldiers. As the second Dust 514 developer diary shows us, the PS3 shooter is a very different game than EVE Online. The FPSMMO might be based on the EVE universe, but that’s where the similarity ends as the gritty shooter is all about…

The latest addition to the base P2 experience is now available for download. Appropriately enough, its titled Excessive Force.It’s not often that these kinds of add-on packs do anything for me, but this one just might be an exception. Some of this stuff is just way too cool to ignore.…

FIM Speedway GP 2012 is the kind of game that Derek Zoolander would design. It’s all about turning left, see. Over, and over, and over again. As a motor sport, Speedway deserves respect. The bikes don’t have breaks so it’s a sport of skilled drifting, concentration and raw speed. Watching…

With my recent review of Portal 2’s level editor, I found the included Steam Workshop integration to be a welcome addition. It allowed easy queue-creation for downloading many community-made levels from any web browser and it significantly enhanced the overall experience of the game. Another title has been confirmed to…
