2K Marin Hit With Layoffs, ‘Essentially’ Closed

2K Marin, the developers behind Bioshock 2 and, most recently, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, have been struck with layoffs, according to sources speaking with Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Polygon. After contacting 2K, a representative told the following to Polygon:  “We can confirm staff reductions at 2K Marin. While these were difficult decisions, we regularly evaluate our development efforts and have decided to reallocate creative resources. Our goal to create world-class video game titles remains unchanged.” One ex-employee posted on Twitter…

Batman Games Updated for Steamworks, Can’t Use Old Saves

As we reported several months ago, Batman Arkham City (and Asylum) are being converted to Steamworks. The update happened tonight (next time you log into Steam, it'll start the download), but there's a real downside that's likely to annoy people more than GFWL ever did.

Humble Bundle with Android 7 Launches

For all those amongst you feeling charitable, there's a new Humble Bundle available. The Humble Bundle with Android 7 doesn't quite match the quality of some of the more recent bundles, but it sure as hell beats the comedy collection they did. If you fancy some decent games at a relatively small price, look no further.

Lego Lord of the Rings Review

I'm sure there was a lot of scoffing when they announced the original LEGO Star Wars. Taking a toy license that was based off of a movie license and digitizing it must have seemed like the worst idea in the world, spawning a shoddy mess for children who have no idea what a good game is. Funnily enough, the exact opposite occurred and a gaming phenomenon was born. Now there have been approximately a billion LEGO games since then, all as fun and addictive as the last, and LEGO Lord of the Rings is the latest game in Traveller's Tales quite literal blockbuster series.

Urban Chaos Released on Steam

Popular title Urban Chaos has been re-released on Steam. If you owned a PlayStation, PC or Dreamcast at the turn of the millennium, you'll probably at least remember its striking lead character and its dark "urban jungle" setting.

Grand Theft Auto V Out for PC Early 2014

It appears that PC gamers, particularly those among the (almost) 600,000 that signed this Change.org petition, are going to get what they want. As Eurogamer reported earlier, according to multiple industry sources, Grand Theft Auto V will be released on PC during the first quarter of 2014. Who these sources are is currently unclear, but it stands to reason that this news is probably accurate given Intel’s claim that they don’t expect GTAV to be just a console exclusive, not…

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West Coming to PC, Re-released on PS3

The criminally underrated Enslaved: Odyssey to the West will be getting a re-release on PlayStation 3, and will be available to purchase for the first time on PC, Namco Bandai have today confirmed. There were rumours before - it showed up on the Australian classification board - but it's now official.

NBA 2K14 Review

While EA has cornered the market on NFL games (by default, really), 2K has appeared to do the same with NBA sports simulations. While publisher Take-Two Interactive has been accused of just releasing roster updates with these annual releases, their series has been known to take risks and tweak major gameplay elements on occasion. NBA 2K14 continues this tradition to a degree, but it's not as crafted and accessible as it should be.

Valve Trademark Half-Life 3

Valve have trademarked Half-Life 3, a move that will no doubt excite millions of fans of the series. This has so far only happened in Europe and there's no more information about it available, so it's probably far too early to be saying "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" but, at least of the surface of it, Half-Life 3 seems at least semi-confirmed.

Outlast Review

It's a bit odd that the Resident Evil games have become synonymous with Survival Horror. After all, they're about heavily-armed police officers who kill zombies by the hundreds. Real fear comes from facing an army of unstoppable monsters and not having any means to fight them off. Outlast locks players inside an abandoned mental institution, arms them with just a camcorder, then leaves them to creep around in the darkness, thus combining a horror storyline with stealth gaming mechanics for a genuinely terrifying experience.
