Hey there gamers! Finally some details are being revealed about the new FF Lightening Returns and instead of beating about the bush I am going to summarize them for you. Before we move to the bullet points there are a few things to keep in mind.

According to the initial reveals (which were later confirmed), this iteration of FF will be significantly different to the past. The overall game is tied to the notion of time. Players will have a finite amount of time to do what they plan before the game ends.

Time is basically the health indicator of the world in which Lightning is in. The world continues to lose life and as expected, the game ends when the world does. Our actions will affect the world around us thus increasing or decreasing the time that we have in it. In any case, the world has a maximum of 13 game-days till it loses all its life.

Now that we have that covered it will be much easier to get the points given below. The following key points were retrieved from

Since the moment I saw the first trailer for Dishonored I have been going on and on about how good it looks and how much I am anticipating it. But being a PS3 owner, I am sort of dreading how it will play on the PS3 as well.

It is a well-known fact that Bethesda has been horrible to PS3 owners. Why do I say so? Well let's just take Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim into consideration. On PC and Xbox 360 it is perfect. On the PS3 there is a massive glitch that you only get to find out after playing the game for a while.

On top of that, DLCs always take forever to get to the PS3 and even when they are released, it is full of bugs! You all know that the latest DLC for Skyrim, Dawnguard, took forever to release. What many don't know is that Bethesda had to work real close with Sony in order to get Dawnguard to even work properly on the PS3!

The only ray of hope I see here is that Arkane Studios is mainly responsible for development. I hope they prioritized both consoles when developing

The AbleGamers Foundation recently released a document explaining how to implement accessibility into video games.

"Many of you have said to us, 'Okay. Accessibility is important. Now HOW do we implement accessibility?' And that's what this document is...", Mark Barlet, President of the AbleGamers Foundation.

Includification outlines many problems that disabled gamers face and how the developers can tackle this problem. One of the tools that are given to developers in this document is a checklist. This list outlines things such as: does your game have subtitles, colorblind assists and remappable keys?

As the document progresses it includes specific parts of a game such as the camera control and elaborates on that key aspect and how a certain disability might not be able to make large mouse movements while another may not be as precise.

Not only do they give great advice for consoles and PC platforms but they also advise for

Dead Island Riptide, a direct sequel to Techland's hit zombie survival game Dead Island, was announced by publisher Deep Silver quite some time ago at this year's E3. Since that initial reveal there was nothing else mentioned in the coming months except that it would cost $50.

But now it seems that Deep Silver is ready to slowly reveal some of the details surrounding the game. Just a few days ago Deep Silver released a press release that gave a bit of the story of the next iteration. The following is an excerpt from the press release:

"Having survived the ordeals of the zombie infestation on the once beautiful island resort of Banoi, our group of survivors thought they had finally found a safe place to escape from this terrifying nightmare, [but] they were wrong. Shortly after the battle-hardened team had landed their helicopter on a military ship, a furious storm hits and havoc quickly spreads on board. Suddenly they find themselves struggling for their lives again with all

In all honesty no one was really expecting a fourth game in the God of War series, let alone this soon. Not that I am complaining, quite the contrary actually. Although I have to say that I was not as excited when I heard about the initial reveal. I just couldn’t see how Santa Monica studios planned to make this iteration even better than GOW 3.

But as we all know now, their secret weapon this time around was the brand new multiplayer mode. There is plenty of gameplay footage available now and initial impressions of it make it seem both fun and addictive. Pulling off brutal combos on human players looked amazingly satisfying and could potentially top the fun we had killing off the Olympian roster in the previous game.

If you are a huge fan of the game like me then there is a big chance you want to get something more than just the standard retail copy of the game. If so then you should definitely check out the Collector's Edition and Special Edition which had been revealed

Developers Techland have had a good collection of games in their portfolio but one of their recent ones, Dead Island, seems to be their crowning glory. The reveal trailer for the game which was gory, emotional and artsy at the same time really got the attention of gamers. Even though Dead Island was not a perfect creation, this zombie killing RPG with beautifully scary environments and online co-op traits was both insanely fun and addictive.

Since the release of Dead Island Techland seems to be keeping quite busy. Only recently they announced the release of a direct sequel to Dead Island, called Dead Island Riptide. The game is in pre-alpha mode and according to inside sources it already looks MUCH better than the predecessor! As you know pre-alpha mode normally looks really horrible so this is a very promising bit of detail.

But we are not here to

Hey there guys! Recently I showed you guys a new trailer out for Dishonored, promptly named "Creative Kills", that showed off the creative ways with which players can go about their assassinations. Today I bring to you a "new new" trailer that shows all the aspects that one must consider when sneaking about in the game.

As Arkane Studios mentioned before, they have developed the game such that players have complete freedom in choosing a playing style; they can choose to be aggressive or sneaky. However, the whole game is primarily meant to be played in stealth mode and if I am not wrong, most of you will agree with me in the fact that it is much more fun playing stealthy anyways!

As the main character Corvo, we will have at our disposal a wealth of gadgets and weapons to help us in our missions. The powers range from short range teleportation or "Blink" to "Possess" which lets you control ALL non-player characters in the game. You can even possess rats and fish!

If

As we have said before, Dishonored is shaping up to be a great game. If you guys don't know, Dishonored follows the story of Corvo (an assassin with super natural powers) as he sets to get revenge on all who wronged him and finally set things right. The entire game is about revenge as evidenced by the game's tag line "Revenge solves everything".

The game to me feels like a mash up of Assassin's Creed and Bioshock, which is why I am so psyched for it! Players will have at their disposal a wealth of gadgets, weapons and powers with which to slay their enemies. A recent gameplay trailer not only shows a few of the cool powers and weapons players will get but, also how to combine the powers to kill the enemies in creative and fun ways!

My favorite is the "Friendly Fire" where you first get an enemy to shoot at you and then "Bend Time" to stop the bullet in mid air, and then "Possess" the other individual to place him in the path of fire; end result is that he shoots himself!

Bethesda Softworks has recently revealed their star studded cast behind Dishonored. If you guys have been following our posts then you already have quite a bit of an idea about Dishonored.

To give you guys a summary, Dishonored follows the story of Corvo. Once he was the legendary swordsman of Dunwal and the protector of the Empress of Dunwal. Unfortunately, he gets falsely accused of the Empress's murder and is sentenced to life in Dunwal's dungeon.

A mysterious being soon approaches Corvo and lends him supernatural powers and grants him freedom from his prison. With his new found powers Corvo now sets off to seek revenge on those who killed the Empress and left him to rot.
