Here is a review for Avencast: Rise of the Mage that is on Worthplaying.In true action-RPG style, Avencast doesn't pause when checking your inventory, which is an absolute pain in this case, as that's where all your healing potions are, and movement is impossible when checking the inventory. Trying to get life back can result in getting killed. Hit Avencast: Rise of the Mage to read that review.

Dead Space Interview

There is a Dead Space Q&A article over on Gameplanet where they talk with Rich Briggs.There are three primary ways we build the tension. First is the environment, such as with disturbing images, lighting, and creepy audio. Each room has its own story to tell, even if nothing actually happens to you when you are in that room. Second is the obvious "boo" moment where something jumps out at you, or grabs you, or goes to big bloody pieces in front of you. We tried to avoid overusing this method as it's the easiest way to desensitize you. The third is the resource management and controls, because you never have quite enough bullets, and you don't run quite as fast as you might like. There is a lot more to the Dead Space Q&A article so go read it.

You can now check out eight new screenshots from X-Blades. When Ayumi isn't using her effective combat spells, she faces up to the enemy hordes with naked blades and explosive projectiles. Since the unique Gunblades are a combination of sword and pistol, the heroine can change her combat style lightning-fast. Surrounded by countless opponents, Ayumi uses both blades with deadly accuracy in hand-to-hand combat. She's well versed in various combat techniques - and she makes full use of them to cut her way through the ranks of the monsters. The player is rewarded with special finishing moves for carrying out particularly successful combos. Those shots are available over on Worthplaying.
