I honestly don’t know what to make of this game. I mean, I love it. But it's
crazy this is being made.

PlayerScale, a cross-platform game infrastructure startup that provides tools
for games played by 150 million users on platforms such as iOS and Android,
announced the acquisition on its site today. And — unlike recent Yahoo
acquisitions like Astrid – CEO Jesper Jensen said the company would continue to
operate as it has, supporting over 2,600 developers and 4,000 games.
Their sudden push into mobile gaming is rather intriguing. I think we’ll see a

Both the Xbox One and Playstation 4 have very similar hardware, with the PS4
having a slight edge in terms of raw power, and the Xbox having the edge in
power consumption. It’s too early to tell the clear ‘winner’ just yet, but with
both consoles using an x86 architecture, it will make most likely porting games

Sam Lake, Creative Director takes to Youtube to talk a little about the future
of Remedy and Alan Wake. Sadly it sounds like Alan Wake didn’t sell enough
copies to merit a true sequel, but it was received well enough for Microsoft to
throw a pile of money their way for a new IP (Quantum Break).
I loved Alan Wake. It was probably one of my favorite games to come out of this
generation of titles. And even though I’m disappointed it will be quite some
time before I get to play a new game of the fr
Not a big surprise. I could see them mimicking Steam Greenlight to get more the
popular indie titles on the service though.

Most people I know that own an Xbox 360 use it to watch Netflix. Most of the
people I know that own a Playstation 3 use it primarily as a Blue-Ray player.
Sure, they bought games too, but they really dont play them. Attempting to call
the Xbox One an entertainment system that just so happens to play games, is a
brilliant move by Microsoft.
After the conference ended, Reddit was quick to complain they wanted a new
console, not a TV remote. The fact being overlooked is you still are getting a

It’s hugely involved, with you mining the ground to gain resources to trade for
coins to claim your land. Like a proper game of Civ, major construction involves
clicking on the ground and watching the buildings extruding upwards. They’re
functional buildings, allowing you to enter and use them, and enhancing them to
provide the bonuses to the land.
This feels like the next natural stage of evolution of Minecraft.
