Seriously now, I can’t be the only one who adores those 16bit Snes action RPG’s. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana, Breath of Fire, Secret of Evermore… just let me make a confession; I love them. Yeah, I’m a PC gamer but my roots are from console and damn do I miss those JRPGs. So, naturally, I felt the need to inform you about Mage Gauntlet, a brand new 16bit RPG from Rocketcat Games that is inspired by SNES-era action RPG’s.

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.

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.
