Warframe Community Page Do games need a story to be fun? You might say co-op based online gaming is the cat's pajamas. If cats wore pajamas that is. Or if these games didn't sacrifice so much depth in order to fit cats with human garments. The important thing is that there is a right way to do co-operative online gaming. Warframe may have taken a bit of a wrong turn on its way there. Digital Extre...

How often do you play a new first person shooter and not weep in response to boring and used up mechanics? Tactical Intervention, designed by Counter Strike co-creator Minh Le, makes what appears to be an effort to liven up the world of tactical shooters. It seems to target those fans of the series. While it isn't a direct part of the CS series, it does take much of its influence from those games...

Loadout is one of the best examples of gun customization in any game, period. The amount of combinations is endless and is, in my opinion one of the games main selling points. Not many games offer such a wide array of choice and customization as Loadout. There are so many different parts you can put on the weapons and so many different ways you can style the weapons and they all have a substantial...

“Tim Burton’s hellish collecting adventure” would be a phrase that accurately describes Don’t Starve. With the survival genre becoming larger due to the success of Minecraft; many games in the genre have focus on copying the former’s success with little change in execution. Don’t Starve however manages to find its own creative experience: The game is addictive, frustrating, stylish, and entirely a...

Disclaimer: I have never played a Sandbox Village Management game before, so this review is coming from the experience of a newbie. Due to the fact that I never played a sandbox village management game, Gnomoria quickly became one of the most intimidating games I have encountered. It wasn't that the game was necessarily hard, but the learning curve was ridiculous due to the lack of in game tutori...

I think all people who played Just Cause 2 had fantasies of a multiplayer mode being made. The idea of surfing planes into the ocean with a friend was just an awesome thing to imagine. So everyone was delighted and surprised when it actually happened. All my fantasies of having extreme bus races with another person were realised, and more. The game play is practically identical to the original gam...

Finally the long awaited standalone version of DayZ has come out in pre-alpha. Too be honest I was really excited when I saw DayZ had been released on Steam. The mod was and still is one of the best mods of all time and I was excited to see if the standalone game could fill the almighty boots left behind by the original mod. The gameplay is left mostly unchanged, the core gameplay remains intact....

Injustice: Gods Among Us Community Page I'm glad Netherrealm returned to making a DC heroes fighting game. Their last attempt at a DC heroes fighting game was MK vs DC which was a crossover fighting game between the Mortal Kombat characters and DC heroes. MK vs DC was panned widely by critics and was definitely a subpar entry in Netherrealms fighting game roster. So one could be forgiven for think...

Counter Strike Global Offensive Community Page The Counter Strike series has much the same origins as Dota. It began as an extremely popular mod and Valve scooped up the developers top help them make more games in the series. In this case Counter Strike was a mod for the original Half Life and has become one of Valves most popular games. All these modes have clear objectives and are fun to play, m...

The main concept, for those who haven't heard of Day Z, is this. You spawn in a random location and need to gather gear in order to survive the constant onslaught of players and zombies trying to kill you. That's it. However when you die, you lose all of the gear you collected. This means you value your life very much in game and that's where the fun comes in. Heated negotiations with other player...
