Square Enix and EIDOS Montreal were planning to release the announement trailer of Thief later today. Unfortunately for them – and fortunately for all of us – the trailer has been leaked and you can view it below. Make sure to check it as soon as possible as Square Enix may take this link down. Although the trailer does not showcase any gameplay footage, we are pretty sure that all of its assets are from the game itself, meaning that Thief could look as good as this trailer. The game is planned for a 2014 release on PC, PS4 and other next generation consoles. Enjoy! Continue reading Thief – Announcement Trailer Leaked→

We believe that SweetFX can enhance each and every game, and since Bioshock: Infinite has just been released – and has a unique art style – we kind of wondered whether we could boost the game’s visuals a bit while retaining its wonderful art style. Continue reading Bioshock: Infinite – SweetFX vs Vanilla Comparison→
Great news for all Torment fans as inXile Entertainment has released the first screenshot of Torment: Tides of Numenera. According to the development team, this new Torment game aims for a 2.5D style. inXile aims to use 2D pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D characters and 3D lighting (that will be grounding the characters in the scene through dynamic lighting and some shadow casting). The game’s concept sounds interesting, so it remains to be seen whether inXile will be able to deliver. This isn’t an April’s fools joke, so go ahead and enjoy the screenshot after the jump. Continue reading Torment: Tides of Numenera – First Screenshot Released→
Doom fans, get ready for a treat. A pre-alpha version of Doom 4 has been leaked to the Internet, showcasing the first level and its tutorial mission. Contrary to the leaked artworks that we presented you a couple of months ago, this pre-alpha version is packed with a game world similar to the first classic parts of the Doom series (and not to RAGE). What’s also interesting is that the game features hordes of enemies, bringing back memories of both Doom 1 and 2.

Now this is a nice surprise. Croteam has released new patches for Serious Sam 3 and Serious Sam HD: TSE.
