PAX East 12: The Showdown Effect Preview
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
30 Apr 2012The Showdown Effect is a sidescroller deathmatch multiplayer game from Paradox Interactive, inspired by Hong Kong–style and 1980s-era action movies. It’s currently in pre alpha stage, but it’s already one of my most pleasant surprises at PAX East 2012. It’s a two-player, mano-a-mano, fight to the death with a variety of weapons. Characters jump and [...]

PAX East 12: Spec Ops: The Line Preview
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
9 Apr 2012I want to give Spec Ops: The Line the benefit of the doubt. This is a game that feels different from other shooters, and it’s striking out into some rare territory for the genre, but sadly it plays like every other shooter you’ve ever played. First the good: The game takes place in Dubai after [...]
PAX East 12: Max Payne 3 Preview
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
7 Apr 2012Like Assassin’s Creed III, Max Payne 3 is a combination of the new and the familiar. It certainly plays like Max Payne 2. You earn bullet time by killing guys, and you earn more for special goals like head shots. You have a button that makes Max jump in bullet time, and one that just [...]

PAX East 12: Fable Heroes Preview
In: Articles by Edie Sellers
7 Apr 2012You know, it’s easy for a developer to piss off fans of an RPG franchise. All you need do is suggest — merely suggest — that you’ll be releasing a side-scrolling, hack-and-slash adventure version of the game, and your forums will light up like a Christmas tree. That’s what Lionhead Studios discovered when Fable fans [...]
PAX East 12: Assassin’s Creed III Preview
In: Reviews by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
6 Apr 2012This is the Assassin’s Creed game you’ve been waiting for. Let’s just get that out of the way now. Assassin’s Creed III is an appropriate title because this is more a sequel to Assassin’s Creed II than Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. In fact, production began on this game before Revelations was even a thing, which is [...]
