A couple of days ago, KOTOR 2 was released on Steam. A lot of speculation arose and players began wondering whether or not Lucas Arts was heating things up for a KOTOR 3 announcement. Let’s not forget that a bundle of KOTOR 1 & 2 is also available, as it launched back on July 14th. And although we don’t know whether Lucas Arts has plans for a KOTOR 3, we do know that Obsidian Entertainment would love to work on such a game.

Now this is a really promising mod for Borderlands. YouTube’s member ‘nolahornets394’ has released an interesting mod for Borderlands, called PokeBL.

Man, now this is a bit ironic. In an earlier editorial piece, we said that the Indocrination Theory was disproved from Mass Effect 3’s Extended Cut. Well, it seems we were wrong, as there are still indications that hint towards that theory. Not only that, but BioWare has included some new features/indications/hints/whatever_you_want_to_call them. Now if the company wanted to disprove that theory, why did they add these new hints? But anyway, Julian Kluk has created a massive, two hour long, documentary about the Indocrination Theory of Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut that can be viewed below. Naturally, some will agree with Julian’s claims while others will not. Enjoy! Continue reading Massive Indocrination Theory Documentary for Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut→

We were a bit disappointed this week by CryEngine 3’s community, as there weren’t a lot of screenshots from the works of the on-going projects.

Fortunately though, we have a number of videos and teaser trailers from some CryEngine 3 projects. Therefore, enjoy the screenshots from modders mystichobo, themodman101, Puppy, scumm, Arthurwalter and JohnBart, as well as the videos from CrydaVinci, TheDistiller, jaalt0, Fafaxounette, wjmoosting and KingBadger3d.

We seriously can’t believe there is noone taking advantage of Unreal Engine 3 (and CryEngine 3). Okay, there are plenty of UE3 games but when was the last time you saw something unique? Something out of the ordinary? Something besides another brown-ish shooter game? Something like Mirror’s Edge perhaps? Well, time for a slight change. Christian Davis, Associate Environment Artist at Junction Point Studios, has created a high quality model of the Blastoise Pokemon. Naturally, Davis felt the need to test his model on UDK and the following image was the result of that. And damn, does this looks impressive. Davis used UDK’s Foliage Showcase, which means that all assets other than Blastoise and the pokeball are property of Epic Games. Enjoy! Continue reading This is what a Pokemon game would look like in Unreal Engine 3→
Runic Games has announced that its will reveal the release date for its highly anticipated action RPG, Torchlight II, during the PAX event, on August 31st. The company has also unveiled its PAX plans and you can read them at the game’s official website.

The reason of the delay was the company’s desire to further polish it before releasing it.
