Game developer Crytek is keeping busy announcing new titles. Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded caught my attention. Whereas it’s not an RPG such and reminds me more of Left4Dead there’s something about the style that appeals. In addition, Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded will be part of Crytek’s “Games-as-a-Service” approach. Normally “as-a-Service” propositions are free […]

Sponsored Video: Spying on The Evil Within
Early last year Geek Native showed The Evil Within trailer. The game is a partnership between Skyrim’s Bethesda and the creator of Resident Evil. Trailers are one way to get a feel for a game but in a way they undersell the sort of immersive horrors that Shinji Mikami is known for. We’re all pretty […]

Destiny game play video
Bungie is the studio that invented Halo. Since leaving their famous title in Microsoft’s hands they’ve been off working on their next project. That next project is Destiny is this is a game play trailer from it. Pay attention to the soundtrack, too. Destiny layers on some RPG elements on top of Halo style action. […]
Prepare for awesome: Super Mario Bros on 4 monitors
This is what Super Mario Bros looks like when it’s played on four wide screen computer monitors. It looks more than four times better than before. There must be tactical advantages too as you’re able to see what’s coming up. We can see more than World 1-1 in this way too. The Japanese engineer who […]
The pitch for Dragon Finn Soup
[Back this Campaign] Geek Native covers plenty of Kickstarters but computer RPGs that make it to the blog seem pretty rare. Why is that? It must be hard to pitch computer games hoping to be considered RPGs to a dyed in the wool tabletop fan. That makes Dragon Finn Soup interesting. Grimm Bros are a […]
Sponsored Video: From steampunk elephants to Titanfall – a brief history of mecha warfare
American gamers already have access to Titanfall and it looks like they’re loving it. Here in the UK we’re waiting just a few more days – until the 14th. With at least one pundit calling the game “Microsoft’s killer app” Titanfall has a piece of Microsoft history all to itself. The game is available for […]

This is a tactic they used before. There was a number of prologue videos for Dark Souls and each one layered up the drama. […]
