PES 2014 first screenshots
Following an official press release, Konami just showed some PES 2014 first screenshots. They are all clearly in-engine, although we hoped that the new engine, based on Metal Gear Solid V's FOX Engine, could improve the graphics significantly, but that doesn't seem to be the case. No mention has been made of next-generation consoles, other than saying that the engine is scalable, but a remark [...]

Bioshock Infinite Review - Flying in Columbia
In this Bioshock Infinite review I'll tell you my impressions on the hotly debated third installment. This is the first time in the series that Irrational Games leaves Rapture setting, which means that the game has an entirely new story line, so no need to play the first two Bioshock games to understand what’s going on. There are some easter eggs hidden through out the game though, that do [...]

Defiance: la Terra non è grande abbastanza per tutti
Il razzismo è una brutta cosa, ancora oggi è in grado di tirare fuori il lato peggiore delle persone, abbassandole al livello di bestie incoscienti piene di un livore inutile, spesso indirizzato verso le proprie vittime. Possiamo facilmente figurare quindi cosa accadrebbe se dall’altro lato della barricata ci fossero non uomini ma alieni, quanto di più lontano dalla razza umana può esistere. [...]

The Cave, il ritorno di Ron Gilbert
Ci sono dei nomi, nell’industria videoludica, in grado di far accelerare i cuori dei nostalgici più navigati. Ron Gilbert, per aver donato alle masse perle come Maniac Mansion e Monkey Island, è sicuramente in questa lista. Pertanto è perfettamente normale che l’attenzione in genere riservata a produzioni dai budget simili a PIL di piccoli stati del Terzo Mondo sia stata, anche solo per un [...]

Antiviral review - Brandon Cronenberg's first work
Let me begin this Antiviral review by stating that, whenever the son of an artist decides to make his first move into the media-world of his parent, many thorny issues may arise.

Black Mesa: Half Life torna più splendente che mai
Da quando le riserve di potenza computazionale non rappresentano più un serio problema per i moderni personal computer, il rendering estremo ha forse involontariamente filtrato quel genere di emozioni che titoli come il primo Half-Life hanno saputo iniettarci in endovena? E' un tarlo del dubbio che si annida profondo, considerando quelli che, commercialmente parlando, sono gli esponenti moderni [...]

Torchlight II, la forza delle idee
Per creare qualcosa di grandioso, alle volte, bisogna prima distruggere qualcosa di simile maestosità: un ragionamento estremo che ritrova più volte riscontro nella quotidianità, anche se si parla di grandi colossi videoludici. Era il primo agosto del 2005 quando, tra lo sconforto generale dei fan, veniva annunciata la chiusura degli studi Blizzard North, noti tra le giovani fila di nerd per [...]

The Byzantium trailer gives hope to the vampire genre
In the post-Twilight era, vampires sparkle in sunlight, sadly enough. Hope comes from a Neil Jordan (director of Interview with the vampire) movie for people like me, horror fans that actually like vampires but that simply can't stand the ones portrayed on screens in the last 10 years. The movie i'm talking about is Byzantium, already appreciated by both critics and audience in lots of festivals, [...]

Lo Sherlock Holmes del nuovo millennio
Di serie tv se ne vedono in numero sempre crescente, ma quante di queste sono veramente originali, intriganti, accattivanti e coinvolgenti? Ben poche, obiettivamente. Alcune proseguono per i loro dieci o dodici episodi, regalandoci qualche interessante sequenza e strappandoci qualche risata, ma senza entrare in maniera permanente nella nostra memoria. Sherlock, la creatura di Arthur Conan Doyle, [...]
