Top 10 UK PC Charts – Another great week for The Sims franchise

PC gamers, here is the Top 10 UK PC Chart of last week. There is really nothing extraordinary, apart from the return of both Fable III and Civilization V.

The first five games are the same as last week’s and seems that nothing will be able to top The Sims series. Well, at least when it comes to retail sales. Enjoy the chart after the jump.

Titan Quest was designed so that our grandmothers would want to play it

We already know that the gaming industry is basically just a business these days and nothing more. We also know that publishers often interfere with their games’ development and most of the times, this is not a good sign. So after Arthur Bruno’s interview with RockPaperShotgun, a fan went ahead and complained at Crate’s forum. This is natural, everyone does it. What surprised us though was a post from Crate’s designer, Medierra, in which he claimed that Titan Quest was designed so that the grandmother of the higher-ups – and basically all of our grandmothers – would want to play it. Continue reading Titan Quest was designed so that our grandmothers would want to play it

L.A. Noire Live Action – Justice Unfiltered

I know, there have been a lot of live action films today and you’re most probably already bored. But hear me out, this is perhaps the most ‘true to the spirit of the game’ live action movie. As the title suggests, it’s based on L.A. Noire and has everything, from the facial expressions to the rotating system for the clues. Even the running/walking animations are similar. The movie is written and directed by Ryan Mitts, edited by Cliff Lloret and was made available today. Well done guys! Continue reading L.A. Noire Live Action – Justice Unfiltered
