For fans of the Dragon Age games, having to wait until next fall for the next installment, Dragon Age: Inquisition, is unacceptable. Good thing they can get their fix, and portably, with Heroes Of Dragon Age, a new iOS and Android game from Capital Games and Electronic Arts. But as Producer Tim Lander explains it, while Heroes Of Dragon Age takes you back to Thedas, it isn’t a shrunken version of Dragon Age: Origins. Or Dragon Age II. Or even Dragon Age: Inquisition.
As any kid will tell you, scary things lurk in the dark. But with the game Darklings — which MildMania has just released on iOS devices — you can take back the night with just the flick of a finger. Though explaining how it actually does this may be best left to MildMania co-founder Burkay Ozdemir.
Tiny Brains may have most misleading name of any game in recent memory. Sure, it’s catchy, and clearly made for sequel-izing (Tinier Brains, Tiny Brains II: More Brainier…), but the fact remains that this downloadable, physics-based puzzling platformer for the PlayStation 4 requires you to have something better than a tiny brain if you want any hope of succeeding.
NECA and Blizzard have announced that the former will release an action figure and a replica sword based on the latter’s game Diablo III this March.

Happily, Tearaway doesn’t disappoint in this regard. Or any other for that matter.
For Call Of Duty Ghosts (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, WiiU, PC), Activision hired writer/director Stephen Gaghan — who penned Steven Soderbergh’s 2000 movie Traffic and both wrote and directed 2005’s Syriana — to help with the campaign’s story. With the game done and out the door, I spoke to Mr. Gaghan about how he got the gig, how he feels about the way stories are told in games, and how he feels about the game’s critically-maligned ending. As a result…
WARNING: THIS INTERVIEW HAS SPOILERS ABOUT CALL OF DUTY GHOSTS.
Killzone Shadow Fall (PlayStation 4) is a beautiful and accomplished dystopian sci-fi first-person shooter that really shows off what the new PlayStation 4 can do.

McFarlane Toys have announced that they will release a limited edition statue of Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on December 13.
