X360 Magazine: "I’m no graphics whore, believe me. My all-time favourite game is Peggle and I don’t play it for the graphics. But I’ve found myself recently wanting to rush to the defence of good graphics, as more and more people take a somewhat elitist stance against them."
MonsterVine: "For a one man passion project that’s in Early Access, while allowing for things like “There’s only one map,” Manor Lords is in pretty good shape."
With Arkane Austin shutting its doors this week, it's a good time to reflect on one the most innovative roguelike-inspired triple-A experiences of recent years.
VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Of all the titles I've reviewed, Bootleg Steamer is the most addictive. When I sit down to play, I know that I'm going to be there for the next 1-3 hours. Its wheels turn and the gears are oiled, yet the engine inside lacks a 'spark' that pushes it to the next level, be that competition from other runners or a more volatile crew dynamic - some additional tension source to get the entropy flowing would have been nice. Its low-stakes, easygoing nature might not be to everyone's taste, but for those who land on the Stardew Valley side of the gaming coin, Bootleg Steamer is a curious, pleasant nightcap to the end of any evening."

...honesty and integrity...something that is in very short supply. Just look at the mess that is Battlefield 3...
EA-Dice conspired to lie and cheat there way to the top and the sheeple pat them on the back for doing it.
The leaked footage clearly shows a broken game with numerous problems. Clunky animations, bizarre textures, glitchy game play, strange lighting and one color palette...NOTHING LIKE THE TRAILERS they showed before or during E3. The console version will be far worse.
Activision and their great COD teams really have been classy. What they have shown is a fair and honest representation of their game...that is why they will be the peoples champ, once again.
The game is still in Alpha stage isn't it? Or at best Beta stage...so I don't see why anyone needs to break out the magnifying glass and examine each and every flaw just yet.
This is a game STILL in development at the end of the day. There is a reason why DICE wants these videos off of YouTube- because it doesn't represent what will be the finished product.
