Breaking the MOBA Mold for the Better

An Inside Look at Guardians of Middle-Earth

We first saw Guardians of Middle Earth a few weeks back at E3. The game immediately impressed us, not only for the slick use of the Lord of the Rings license, but for the way the team at Monolith appeared to have successfully brought the MOBA genre to consoles. We were also incredibly excited to hear the game would have full co-op support, something many folks strongly desire in a MOBA. We sat on a recent conference call with Monolith as they dished the goods on the upcoming game.

New Pid Trailer May Just Have the Best Music Ever

Pid was one of the best surprises of E3 for me. I knew I had to check it out due to the pedigree of its developers Might & Delight, whose members previously made the sublime Bionic Commando Rearmed (a personal favorite). As it turns out, Pid shares quite a lot of DNA with its spiritual predecessor - from the retro-chic 2D visuals to its own quirky platforming gimmick. The new 'Operation Tango' trailer shows off those things and more, including some absolutely beautiful music. You must hear it.

Ubisoft is in the process of investigating numerous bugs with PC Future Soldier

PC Version of Ghost Recon Future Soldier Plagued with Horrendous Issues

Latest in "News Which Shocks No One," yesterday's release of the PC version of Ghost Recon Future Soldier has not gone over well for Ubisoft. The version is currently suffering from a crippling amount of bugs. What kind of bugs, you ask? Well, my friend, they range from the somewhat understandable framerate issues and resolution errors to the facepalm-worthy Xbox 360 buttons being prompted in the interface to the absolutely appalling non-recognition of mouse and WASD controls. Wait, what?
