This game is the offering to all the Tomb Raider fans annoyed that the new game in the rebooted series is to be an Xbox exclusive. It’s a sequel to the Guardian of Light game, a two-player co-op that was relatively well received by the fans who got to play it. It’s also a corner of the franchise that the reboot never actually touched, so this is the original classic Lara Croft you’ll be playing with.

The game will be a four-player in a similar vein to the previous game, containing all the puzzling, fighting and other elements that made Guardian of Light a decent game.

Check out the trailer below:

Sports players generally have a retirement age which is lower than the average. Oddly this is one area that eSports resembles the more physical sports of old, by having a retirement age that’s even lower than theirs. Most eSports players retire from competitive player in their mid-twenties.

Riot though wants to help these people prepare for life after the competitions. While at the moment some players will go on to help develop more games like the ones they used to compete in, others will find it difficult to stay in the same area of employment. They aim to help players work on their brand during their time as competitors and to teach interview and media techniques that will be useful to them during and after their playing careers.

“We’re influenced a lot by real world sports here, the NFL has a ‘Rookie Symposium,’ for example. It’s basically an orientation program which is similar to what we’re doing.”

Football season is almost upon us. As the resident american who understands the game (as opposed to futbol), it falls to me to explain all things Madden related. Like this new ad from EA which features Kevin Hart, James Franco, a pool full of dolphins and a DJ wearing a teddy bear head playing violin in a swimming pool while a house burns down. As you may have guessed, I don’t have any clue whats going on here either.

Just…watch the video….

Ubisoft isn’t popular among PC gamers. I know this from listening to our station manager list their sins quite a bit. Bad ports of games originally on consoles, uPlay being a necessary element of actually being able to play any of their games and their stance of DRM hasn’t exactly endured them to many other PC gamers either.

However European boss Alain Corre says that the publisher is committed to improving how they deal with support for PC. He says that Ubisoft is already on track to making sure that the company has the support of the gamers for the platform through one-time activation for the PC games and by releasing games at the same time across all platforms, and that they are taking feedback from their players seriously.

“We recognise the importance and needs of PC gamers, and want to continue to improve how we create and support games for PC,” he told MCV at Gamescom.

The percentage of Ubisoft’s business that came from PC went up 4 percent last year, so he believes that they are already on the right path to better engaging with the PC market.

Fans of the Sims games might want to read this article, it could save you some disappointment later.

Previously it was announced that the next Sims game would not include toddlers or swimming pools, a decision that EA and Maxis tried to justify by saying that due to the new game engine they had made the game in. Of course, they said that pools could be added at a later date either as part of a DLC or as a free update. What they didn’t say though was that the new engine seems to have stopped them adding quite a lot more.

The people at ts4news.com put up a post earlier with a list of things that are either missing or in some way downgraded from the previous game, The Sims 3. It’s not a short list, not by a long shot. Divided into categories of Major Features that are Missing, Major Features Severely Curtailed, Other Missing Gameplay Features, Missing Objects, Crippled Game Features and a list of changes they can’t yet confirm, the list includes just under 90 features or objects that are missing or limited. These include the lack of aliens, acne, teens who look very similar to Adults and Elders (same heights), flat, limited number of lots, no terrain landscaping tools, no Mac release of the game at launch and much much more.

Go check out the full post linked below, and stay tuned into the news about this game to see if this correct. Because if it is, EA have made one heck of a limited new game engine for the Sims and that doesn’t bode well for the consumer.
