Delivering reviews, Quick Looks, diaries, columns and news

Feb 10, 2013 11:01 GMT  ·  By

In the review department, we tackle three interesting titles: Dead Space, the space-based horror and shooter combination from developer Visceral Games and publisher Electronic Arts, Omerta – City of Gangsters, the strategic and tactics mix from Haemimont Games and Kalypso, and the delightful Dungeonland from Paradox Interactive.

We also have three Quick Looks: one for Expeditions Conquistador, an interesting role playing and tactics mix from Logic Artists, one for March of the Eagles, a Napoleonic era strategy from Paradox Interactive, and a final one for The Showdown Effect, a multiplayer combat 2D game from Arrowhead Games.

We also have a new Gamer Diary, dealing with the scares and the action of Dead Space 3, and a continuing series of articles linked to the most expected video game launches of the coming months.

As always, we deliver two Weekend Reading features: one about the way virtual experiences mix with real-world romance and another about used games and next-gen consoles.

The EndWeekGame article talks about our free time for the weekend and we also have a look at the most important news of the past week.
