Firefall preview: Something for everyone
There's a good chance that Firefall is going to be your absolute, undeniable jam. It's just one of those combinations of features and ideas that should apply to at least (but probably more than) one of your sensibilities: It has class-based shooting, customizable loadouts, loot, strategy, a ...
Trine 2 preview: Brains and beauty
The first things you're going to notice are the visuals. Don't feel bad, happens to everybody. But while you're ogling Trine 2's look, you may just miss that its most significant improvements are in how it's playing with your mind. ...
