It doesn't take long to notice the jittery movement of everything, and a framerate that wants to take a nose dive as soon as any action starts. Yes, stand still, and you can appreciate the sun streaming through the leaves, the babbling brooks, and the awesome ancient structures. The same goes for the human inhabitants of the world. Everyone must practically dance out everything they say, with huge, exaggerated movements to accompany the simplest, "Hello Slayer." The leader of the Dragon Slayers moves with all the poise of a sassy cheerleader at times. All this takes some getting used to, but it can never quite be pushed aside."
Kirill Pokrovsky, who composed the music of Larian Studio's Divinity series of games, passed away yesterday.
"A great man, a fantastic composer and a good friend passed away yesterday. Rest in peace Kirill Pokrovsky – we will miss you."

Ahh he looks so happy playing the Piano there.
Never knew of him, but RIP. I heard 2-3 of the songs online and they were pretty good.
He have filled me with Magic since 2002, with the Release of Divine Divinity. His Music gaves me alot of chills. And he was a nice person too. My best wishes to the Family, i will miss him and his music that he woud have written.
With Evolve finally coming out today, Paste looks at ten other games that let you play as monsters.
IM PLAYIN highlights some of the great games that you can currently get on the Xbox 360, including some that are multiplatform, for relatively cheap.
"State of Decay is crazy cheap on the Xbox Live Marketplace, considering how many hours you can squeeze out of it. It’s one of those games that you can play religiously for hours, or flit in and out of when you’re looking for a bit of filler. As far as zombie survival games go, this is one of the greats. It’s also one of the first to do it, especially on such a grand scale. Search for supplies, clear out the zombie hordes and grow both your community of survivors and your base of operations – all whist exploring a pretty decent sized game world ranging from country fields to packed towns."
Gotta love XBL! I bought so many good games for insanely low prices in the past year. It's a great way to end a lifecycle in my opinion.
