Watch_Dogs – New Gameplay Footage From PAX East [Off-Screen]
PAX East is under way and Ubisoft is showing off a brand new demo for Watch Dogs. UGRGaming has uploaded some footage from it that can be viewed below. Naturally, it’s really hard to distinquish the details in this off-screen footage, but we’re pretty sure that Watch_Dogs fans will find it interesting. This demo takes place on a rainy day, so hopefully Ubisoft will release a direct video from it. Also, this is most probably PC footage as we can see a PC at the bottom left of the video (running on a single GPU). Until then, enjoy the video after the jump! Continue reading

Hearthstone single-player mode will chuck players into the necropolis of Naxxramas
Comment
To say that I’m hooked on Hearthstone would be an understatement of titanic proportions. It has consumed me, and now to feed it I feel compelled to turn more people onto it, like a horrible pusher.
I’m yet to tire of the simple formula, and so I’ve never pondered what the game would be like were it larger, if it featured dungeons and single-player content. Blizzard has been, though. And this has lead to the Curse of Naxxramas - Hearthstone’s first single-player campaign.
Blizzard reveals four new, mostly nuts, Heroes of the Storm characters at PAX East
Comment
Before Heroes of the Storm, I honestly can’t say that any MOBA characters interested me all that much until after I’d spent at least a few hours playing them. But Blizzard seems intent on creating heroes that sound absolutely bonkers. Even on paper, some of these characters demand to be played.
With PAX East underway, Blizzard’s making all sorts of Heroes of the Storm-related announcements and reveals - the most recent of which is the unveiling of four new characters. And none of them are remotely alike.
Double Fine Presents Last Life: 4 hours to catch a killer on Mars, what's a dead detective to do?
Comment
With Escape Goat 2 being distributed to the masses, Double Fine has added another title to its fledgling indie publishing wing - Double Fine Presents. The game in question is Sam Farmer’s Last Life, a sci-fi noir adventure game that juggles a pulpy detective story, a striking cuboid art style and transhumanism. It's also got a Kickstarter.
Last Life is inspired by the new wave of adventure games; the likes of The Walking Dead and Kentucky Route Zero, where story and atmosphere trumps puzzles. It looks like Last Life has both in spades.
Wargame Red Dragon due out next week; last chance to check out the beta
Comment
Wargame Red Dragon is a mere week away, launching on April 17th. This is excellent news if you salivate at the thought of giant 20th Century wargames. I do. That’s why I have a bib that I sometimes fold up into a tiny tank.
If you own Wargame AirLand Battle, you can pick Red Dragon up with a 33 percent discount and jump into the beta right now. You only have a week left. To get the strategy juices flowing (probably a mixture of oil and… blood?) point your binoculars at some lovely screenshots and trailer below.
Azeroth Choppers: World of Warcraft does American Choppers, and nothing makes sense any more
Comment
It can’t be real, but it is. Azeroth Choppers is a bizarre reality web show that pits two teams, one led by Blizzard wordsmith Chris Metzen, the other led by art director Sam Didier, against each other as they build custom choppers.
That shouty man from American Choppers will be helping them. What chopper is the best chopper is up to fans, as they’ll vote on which bike ends up in World of Warcraft.
