Exclusive Interview: The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing III Narrative Designer Viktor Juhasz & CCO Linda Bozoradi

While game developers usually start thinking about sequels after their games come out, and are successful, the good people at NeocoreGames actually conceived of The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing as a trilogy before the first game was released in 2012. With The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing III due out on PC at the end of May (and later on Mac and Xbox One), I spoke to narrative designer Viktor Juhasz and CCO Linda Bozoradi about this series, as well as what they’ve added, changed, and improved for this final chapter of the trilogy.

Star Wars Rebels Table For Pinball FX 2 & Zen Pinball 2 Review

When Star Wars Rebels started airing on Disney XD last October, there were two things that were rather obvious: One, that this wasn’t any more of a kids show than its predecessor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, had been; and two, that Zen Studios would be making a Star Wars Rebels pinball table for Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita, Mac, WiiU), Pinball FX 2 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC), Zen Pinball (iOS), and Zen Pinball HD (Android, Amazon). And wouldn’t you know it…

Project Root Review

As an old fool, I sometimes like to kick it old school. Which is why, despite some seriously stupid problems, I actually really enjoyed Project Root, an old school, top down, arcadey, third-person sci-fi shooter made by OPQAm for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.

Avengers Age Of Ultron Pinball FX 2, Zen Pinball 2 Review

Some things are just inevitable. It’s inevitable that I will die with a stack of unread books near me, it is inevitable that Rush will stop making new music at some point, and it is inevitable that humanity’s reign on Earth will come to an end at the hands on intelligent apes, zombies, or intelligent zombie apes, and that none of them will read or listen to Rush. But not all inevitabilities are so dire. Take this one: With Marvel releasing the movie Avengers Age Of Ultron on May 1st, it was inevitable that Zen Studios would make a Avengers Age Of Ultron table for Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Vita, Mac), Pinball FX 2 (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC), Zen Pinball (iOS), Zen Pinball HD (Android, Amazon), and, at some point soon, Zen Pinball 2 on the WiiU.

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.

“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.

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.

“Resident Evil Revelations 2” Review

 

The original Resident Evil Revelations on the 3DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and WiiU was a somewhat simplified version of this series’ patented survival horror. But while Resident Evil Revelations 2 (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360) takes a similar approach, it also adds some intriguing additions that makes it even more fun and frightful. And that goes double if you buy the retail version, thanks to some small but cool additions.

“Battlefield Hardline” Review

 

For as long as the series has been going, the Battlefield games have always done a better job with their multiplayer modes than its single-player ones. And I say that as someone who doesn’t play well with others. But by adding some intriguing (albeit not wholly original) mechanics to its campaign, while keeping its online modes mostly the same, Battlefield Hardline (Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PC) is fun whether you play it on your own or with friends.
