• Is This What Forza’s Really About? Impressions Of The Forza: Apex Beta

  05-05-2016 17:32
  Forza Motorsport 6: Apex is Microsoft and developer Turn 10's series introduction on PC, albeit in a free-to-play format that culls Xbox One's Forza 6 into something more bite-sized than fans or the franchise deserves. The game is in open beta at the moment, and I tried it, which led me to question if this is really what Forza is all about.
  Apex features 12 Tour races where you earn medals based not just on how well you do, but if you knock out certain objectives. So you may have an absolute ho

  Poke'Battle, created by Forge creator Captaindirewolf, lets players choose one of three Pokemon—Venusaur, over at the green terminal; Charizard, at the red terminal; or Blastoise, from the blue terminal—and "battle" rock-paper-scissors style in a scenic stadium.
  The winner is chosen via element advantage, so Venusaur beats Blastoise, Charizard beats Venusaur, and Blastoise beats Charizard. A sniper rifle

  Ubisoft Massive has addressed the multiple problems that faced The Division's 1.1 update, and laid out how it plans to make the upcoming 1.2 patch "rock-solid" as a result.
  In yesterday's State of the Game livestream, community developer Yannick Banchereau said that 1.1's troubled release was down to the studio's pre-release checks: "There was testing," he explained, "but obviously the process was not good enough because there are some bugs that made it through that shouldn't have."

  05-05-2016 09:01
  
  In amongst its frantic combat, slick parkour, and outrageous action choreography, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End achieves something wonderful: maturity. This is less a breezy lad’s tale revelling in fortune and glory and more a story about the lads when they’re all grown up, bolstered by an equally developed graphics engine and career-high performances from its cast.
  What lets it down, however, is an uninspired and overly long third act which slows down its pace considerably with
