Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes released the first episode of the ‘making of’ video series for Risen 2: Dark Waters. In this episode, the developers Piranha Bytes lead us on the path of development of a believable fantasy world. Risen 2 looks definitely better than its predecessor, although we can’t say that we are utterly impressed with its visuals. But then again, who cares as both the Gothic series – prior Gothic 4 – and the first Risen were all about their gameplay. And we are pretty sure that Piranha Bytes will deliver once again. Risen 2: Dark Waters is slated for a 2012 release on current generation consoles and PC! Continue reading Risen 2: Dark Waters – The Making Of Risen 2: Episode 1→

Dead Island has already met a huge success – even though it was released a few weeks ago – as Techland has managed to offer a great mix between Far Cry and Dead Rising. It is a fun game that needs to be played, even if you don’t funky all those zombie games out there. We were really curious to see how the game would perform as it shares the same engine with CoJ: The Cartel. Would it suffer from all those issues? Well, time to find out how the PC version performs with a modern-day PC. Continue reading Dead Island PC Performance Analysis→
Well, it was to be expected. Dead Island met a huge success and deep inside us, we already knew that someone would try and make a real-life short film, based on it. So, here is the first one guys.

We’ve seen it in the past. Publishers releasing a broken game and developers trying to fix its issues unsuccessfully. Who can forget Vampire: Bloodlines and what happened when Troika was shut down? All hell broke loose but… there is a big BUT. The PC Gaming Community stood up saying proudly “Hell no, we are PC gamers. We’re gonna fix this broken game” and as a result of that, we got lots of unofficial patches for it. Fast forward a couple of years and the same thing might happen with Dead Island. Continue reading Dead Island Helper: Version 1.4 Is Out Now; A tool that promises to fix Techland’s broken game→
So Techland has finally released the ‘real’ version of Dead Island on Steam but there are some of us that are experiencing some annoying microstuttering. Before jumping to early conclusions, this microstuttering takes effect whenever we are moving our characters so it has nothing to do with the graphics card or its drivers. The weird thing though is that this microstuttering is eliminated the moment we connect and try the game with a gamepad.
