Deus Ex: Gunther Vs Paul – A DX Fan Film + More

I was randomly browsing the subreddit for the Deus Ex franchise when I found two animated fan movies. The videos are made by the talented Leo Tierney. And according to the creator, it’s from the long-lost past of Machinima when that channel was the prime place to be for gaming related videos on YouTube. They are a few years old now, but better late than never, right? Anyway, I highly recommend giving them a look, seeing as these animations are pretty cool and authentic to the setting.

Four games to look forward to! [Steam Next Fest]

It’s once again time for Steam Next Fest, and as usual, it will absolutely drown you in a variety of demos. Unsurprisingly, many games are terrible, but if you are willing to trudge through the sludge of cheaply made asset flips, there are a few gems to dig up from the muck. I managed to locate four so far. One of them I have played before, but it has improved massively since its initial presentation. The three others are completely new to me, which fills me with excitement for the future!

Star Wars: Starfighter – Aces of Naboo

I have a soft spot for the sequel movies, even if they are not the greatest. Games like Star Wars: Starfighter play into the nostalgia fun just right for me. An often major feature of these games is that, instead of playing as film characters or following the movie plot too strictly, they present the main conflict from a different perspective. I love this, since it expands on the lore, and provides insight (in a gamey way) in how others fared in the war. It’s usually from a grunt-side view, and being a regular Joe caught up in battle is very different from being a noble Jedi slicing heads off uppity droids. Star Wars: Starfighter is no different.

You will own nothing [DRM Hell]

Thanks to a new California law, as far as I understand, Steam is now required to present the games for sale as a license purchase in California. Instead of having it say, you are buying the game. Now, this is not news to me, considering the games you buy on Steam, and other digital stores are firmly locked to your account. Meaning you have no ownership over the product, with no means to sell it to someone else.

Silent Hill 2: Remake – Not for me

Being a fan of the Silent Hill franchise, and a survival horror junkie, I had to give Silent Hill 2: Remake a go. And while it does look the part, at least from a visual standpoint. I find it falling way too short of capturing the feel of the original. Now, I have to point out. This is not a review. I have only played it for a couple of hours, so this will be my initial impressions, which unfortunately turned me off from completing it.
