The Dark Eye is a popular German tabletop RPG. It was created by Ulirch Kiesow and published by Schmidt Spiel & Freizeit GmbH and Droemer Knaur Verlag. However, publishing transfered to Fantasy Productions (FanPro) after Schmidt Spiel & Freizeit GmbH suffered bankruptcy in 1997 and after Knaur backed out of the project. The license again […]

E3: Fable: The Journey
Fable: The Journey is a bold decision by Microsoft and Lionhead. We may never know how hard Peter Molyneux, Fable’s designer, had to push for this before he left the studio – or whether he objected. Fable: The Journey takes the esbalished RPG franchise is a whole new direction. It’s likely to be a Kinect-centric […]
E3: Ascend New Gods
Do watch the start of this trailer, at least, and let me know if you think it looks almost wargame like in style. I think it does. After a bit of digging, it turns out that Signal Studios, the developers, also created “Toy Soldiers” and so this makes some sense. Microsoft describe Ascend New Gods […]
E3: Assassin’s Creed III
Ubisoft have released a decent sized trailer for Assassin’s Creed III for E3. It features a new master assassin – Connor (birthname: Ratonhnhaké:ton, pronounced: Ra-doon-ha-kay-doon), a Native American, who fights with tomahawks, rope darts and firearms. It’s set during the American Revolution and expected out in October 2012.

Wonderbook is an augmented reality accessory for the PlayStation 3 that Sony announced, tonight, at E3 2012. To use the Wonderbook: Book of Spells players will use their PS Move as […]
E3: Devil May Cry
Hack and slash video game that made it as an anime – Devil May Cry also made it to E3 2012. DmC: Devil May Cry is still very much in development despite being announced at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show. It follows a parallel universe version of the hero Dante. It’s due out in 2013 […]
E3: Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
This strikes me as one of those games that could be really great or really bad – but nothing in between. It might even be a game like Blue Dragon which some people found to be great and others hated. It’s a game from Level-5 and they’ve brought on Studio Ghibli to help with the […]
E3: Resident Evil 6
Resident Evil has transformed itself from a sneak and horror franchise to a game of action on an epic scale. Capcom’s latest in the series, Resident Evil 6, is due out in October 2012 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC release will follow. It’s expected to support between 1 and 4 players […]
E3: Lost Planet 3
Okay, I’ll admit it Geek Native’s coverage of Lost Planet 2 may not have been very flattering. This blogger found some videos which seemed to focus on the jiggly boobs of the female space pirates. Was that what Lost Planet 2 was about? The official trailer for Lost Planet 3 looks very different. The game […]
