Codemasters has just released the latest version of their F1 game. One of our biggest complains about F1’s previous version was the fact that it wasn’t optimized at all on the PC. Contrary to Grid or Colin McRae series, F1 2010 didn’t perform as we’d expect and was CPU bound. We were expecting Codies to optimize the Ego engine, but it seems that everything is exactly the same as with last year’s offering; same performance issues and the game remains CPU heavy.

Devolver released the third and final part of their Serious Sam 3: BFE Help Line with Rich Knuckles. Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.

Ubisoft has just released a new Q&A video, in which Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’ lead scriptwriter, Darby McDevitt, reveals the relationship between Altair and Ezio. Altair and Ezio are not in the same exact plotline and are not related directly but they come from different bloodlines. Think of it as Ezio coming from Desmond’s father side while Altair coming from Desmond’s mother side. Assassin’s Creed: Revelation is slated for a November release on X360, PS3 and hopefully PC – that is if it doesn’t get delayed at the last minute. Continue reading Assassin’s Creed: Revelations Video Q&A Set 2 – Altair and Ezio related… one way or another→
We’ve seen various Mirror’s Edge adaptations but nothing can come close to the production values of Insane Office Escape. The film is directed and edited by Ilya Naishuller and shot by Sergei Valyaev and Ilya Naishuller. As the title suggests, it showcases an escape attempt from an office and looks quite phenomenal. We’d like to see more parkour moves but still, this is clearly the way a Mirror’s Edge movie should actually be. Enjoy the video after the jump. Continue reading Insane Office Escape is an impressive Live-Action Short Film that is based on Mirror’s Edge→
