Exclusive Interview: Path Of Exile The Awakening Technical Director Jonathan Rogers

While it’s not unusual for games to add to their stories with DLC, when Path Of Exile The Awakening expands the action-RPG Path Of Exile in a few weeks, it won’t be like when some fantasy game just puts in a couple new dungeons and a dragon or two. No, the expansion will not only add new adventures, it adds other elements that will so fundamentally change this game that Jonathan Rogers, the technical director on Path Of Exile The Awakening, says they’ve decided to conducting a six to eight week long beta — which starts April 20th, but you can join here — to make sure everything works right.

Exclusive Interview: Battlefield Hardline Composer Paul Leonard-Morgan

With Battlefield Hardline (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC) set up like a television show, you’d think the good people at Visceral Games would hire a composer who’s worked in TV before. But while Paul Leonard-Morgan has done the music for such TV shows as MI-5, it turns out that it wasn’t his TV work that got him this gig.

Exclusive Interview: Rooms The Unsolvable Puzzle Creative Director Jake Jonghwa Kim

“Pinball Arcade” Season Four Tables Review (So Far)

 

You can now read an updated version of this story that includes all of the season 4 tables. Just click here.

 

Since its release in 2012, FarSight Studio’s Pinball Arcade (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, iOS, Android, PC, Mac) has consistently added new recreations of classic pinball tables from the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and even the ’00s.

With new tables being added every month, I’ve decided (FarSight permitting) that I will review the new ones when I can, starting with the first five they’ve put out for Season Four.

Exclusive Interview: Block N Load Studio Head David Solari

Most game developers don’t like to admit that their games are like other games, even when they are. But David Solari, the VP and Studio Head of England’s Jagex Games Studio has no such compulsion when it comes to their upcoming PC game, Block N Load. “It’s basically a cross between Minecraft and Team Fortress 2, with a little League Of Legends sprinkled in there,” he admits, and without prompting. But in talking to him about the game while I watched him play a couple rounds, it became clear that while this does have elements of Minecraft, Team Fortress, and a little League Of Legends, there’s actually a lot more to it.

Sniper Elite III Ultimate Edition Review

When it came out last summer, Sniper Elite III was a flawed but fun third-person World War II stealth action shooter. But while including all of the released add-ons may not make the Sniper Elite III Ultimate Edition (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360) a better game, it does add more than enough to earn its “Ultimate” status.
