Skylanders: Swap Force tags in four new characters, trailers
Activision has released a quartet of new trailers featuring the latest playable additions to the cast of Skylanders: Swap Force, giving an early look at some of the game’s figure-swapping possibilities. Above, you’ll get an early look at Boom Jet, an engine-propelled Air character capable of firing volleys of rockets at enemies. Like other Swap Force Skylanders, Boom Jet’s base can be removed and attached to other swap-capable figures, giving their in-game counterparts the ability to hover over rough terrain. A trailer for fellow Swap Force initiate Grilla Drilla can be seen below, along with preview videos…
SteamWorld Dig review
Few would have been aware of SteamWorld Dig’s existence before the last Nintendo Direct saw Satoru Shibata rather casually announce that it was to launch on the eShop immediately after the end of the presentation. I’ll admit, I dismissed it on sight: though it looked nice enough, it reminded me too much of the disappointing Dillon’s Rolling Western, if only for the Morricone-esque whistling on the soundtrack. Well, more fool me, because SteamWorld Dig is an unexpected joy, a winning blend of Metroid’s exploration and atmosphere with the tension of Mr. Driller’s careful path plotting and limited resources. Toss in a pinch of Spelunky’s…
Angry Birds: Star Wars 2 features the voice of Emperor Palpatine
This just in: Angry Birds Star Wars 2 has an actual actor from the original Star Wars trilogy lending their vocal talent to the game – and amazingly it’s not Mark Hamill.Instead, it’s Emperor Palpatine himself, Ian McDiarmid, reprising his main baddy role, only this time as a pig. But if Star Wars has taught me anything, it’s to not underestimate little green dudes. Especially if they have Jedi powers.Elsewhere in Angry Birds: Star Wars 2 news, the game’s multiplayer has finally been shown off in a new trailer below. The upcoming game will feature two-to-four player competitive modes as well as two-player

Digital Foundry vs. Respawn: the Titanfall interview
Game of the show? Perhaps even the first major next-gen system seller? Gamescom offered the first chance to go hands-on with Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall – the brand new sci-fi first-person shooter from some of the key creative minds behind Call of Duty, the franchise that defined the current console generation. Having left Infinity Ward and regrouped with new additions to the core team, Respawn is now ready to let us play its new game, and first impressions are quite overwhelming.Technologically, it’s safe to say that the team’s first effort has an entirely different focus to its rivals. Titanfall looks stunning in …

The human touch: the brilliance of Murasaki Baby
It is, many people will tell you, one of the finest pieces of design in videogames. Ico’s power, its emotional impact, comes through a world of minimalist fantasy and a relationship delicately painted, but it all truly comes together in one feature: the gentle tug between Ico and Yorda, and the simple thud of the Dual Shock as you pull her along. Massimo Guarini, the Italian developer who previously worked on Shadows of the Damned and helped bring Suda 51’s strange vision to life, knows that well. The first game from his new studio, Ovosonico, is built around that simple moment of contact. In Murasaki Baby, you take a child by …

Eurogamer vs. Spelunky Daily Challenge
DAY 20: Today is a good news/bad news kinda day. The bad news is that today’s Daily Challenge is the last one I’m going to be recording and putting on Eurogamer, although I will still keep playing the game so you can keep an eye on the leaderboards if you want to continue competing.But the good news is twofold: first, I had an amazing run!

Betrayer Review (PC)
Blackpowder Games, composed of a group of veteran developers from Monolith Productions, and who brought you No One Lives and the F.E.A.R. series, delivers a one of a kind horror FPS called Betrayer. The year is 1604, the turn of the 17th century. You have sailed from England, thinking you would be joining a struggling colony on the coast of Virginia. Instead however, you find yourself only seeing ghosts and solving mysteries. What chaos has engulfed the land and drained it of color and life? What happened to all the settlers and tribes who lived here? And who is that strange and silent woman in red who aids you from afar? Little by little, you must figure out and…
Resetting the Console Wars – Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Get a Fresh Start
The upcoming generation of consoles, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 specifically, feel a bit like an old school console war. The mud slinging, slight of hand, and jabs between Sony and Microsoft remind us of Nintendo and Sega from the Genesis and SNES era. But are fans sticking in the corner of their favorite console manufacturer? While this generation was "close" – the Xbox 360 made Microsoft a dominant force in the console world with almost 80 million units sold, and consistently outselling all other consoles monthly for almost three years in North America. The PlayStation 3? Worldwide Sony has pulled "ahead" and passed Microsoft in sales. But despite what the companies say, this upcoming generation should …
