    New demo vid of The Banner Saga from PAX

    New demo vid of The Banner Saga from PAX Saw this on YouTube over the weekend: Looks like the game is shaping up nicely. Love the art style, reminds of animated films. Plus it has turn based combat and a choice system that will have real effects in-game. The lack of voice overs isn't a...

    Thor 2 trailer

    Thor 2 trailer Thor is back...and Loki...and Odin...and Sif...and could those be The Dark Elves? No sign of The Warriors Three but they can't not be in it(hopefully). Looks like they went more for a cosmic/Asgardian story. I'm now officially psyched for this.
