The Game Awards 2014: Nominees

What To Expect: Building on that very brief tease from EA's E3 2014 Press Conference , BioWare will further detail how they plan to build on the Mass Effect lore without Commander Shepard at the helm. Attendees shouldn't expect anything major, but BioWare should be bringing more concept art and tech de


What To Expect: The Ubisoft developers will show a demo for Assassin's Creed Unity - potentially the longer demo we saw at E3 2014 - focused on the main character Arno and will answer fan questions in a Q&A session. The panel will also include the debut of an animated short inspired by AC Unity and created by Rob Zombie and Tony Mo


Although there will be plenty of events and demo opportunities scattered around the Comic-Con floor and downtown San Diego, these are the 10 game-focused events we think will be the most worth attending. Each panel/demo should feature plenty of new information and first-looks at each game in action, and attendees will be able to hear firsthand from the developers working on each g

So, you can scale any structure in the game. And as the title is set in Ancient Egypt, that means you can climb several historical landmarks, including the Pyramid of G


The protagonist doesn't even need visible things to grab. You can just go up to any flat surface and scale it. Plus, you can make traversal easier with skills like the Climb Leap. The only limitation to your climbing is stamina, as ascending huge mountains tends to tire the main character


Released as a launch title for the Xbox One, Ryse remains an absolute spectacle of a game. It's not set in Ancient Greece and lacks the fantasy element of Odyssey, but it's still the perfect title for fans of swords and sandals epics and historical fict

Fans of classic point-and-click adventure games will likely be well aware of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream . Due largely to its age, however, it's a title that most modern gamers will probably be entirely unaware of. Those people are seriously missing out, as the experience that the game provides is entirely unique even to this


It's not at all uncommon for video game creators to seek inspiration from other mediums when developing new titles. There have been countless video game adaptations of anime series , television shows, and movies over the years, though one area that is sometimes overlooked is the wonderful world of fiction-based books, short stories, and nov


_Updated May 13, 2022, by Michael Llewellyn: The Assassin's Creed Shadows Patch notes|https://creedshadowgame.com/ Creed series has explored many historical moments in time. The series sets the tone for historical fiction-based period pieces that can transport its fans to another time and place. Those worlds got even bigger thanks to the release of Assassin's Creed: Origins and Odyssey with their respective open worlds taking place in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece respectively. They were followed by the more recent Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, which is an obvious recommendation for fans of the series and the settings. With that in mind, this list has been updated to include some more titles with a historical setting that fans should invest i


What To Expect: Developer CD Projekt Red wowed us with their behind closed doors demo at E3 2014 and we expect them to pull off a similar feat at their Comic-Con 2014 panel. Attendees will hear more about this final game in the trilogy, see it played live, and learn more about Dark Horse's upcoming The Witcher graphic no


Square Enix's classic survival-horror series Parasite Eve serves not as an adaptation of a novel, but instead a direct sequel . The first entry picks up right where Japanese pharmacologist Hideaki Sena's 1995 novel left off and incorporates many of the same themes, ideas, and charact


The nominations for the first ever edition of The Game Awards were unveiled this morning and include the standard set of genre-based categories, a fan category for most anticipated title of 2015 (which mostly includes delayed games) and as a bonus, some love for famous YouTube celebs and eSports teams to help spread the word and bring in the "hardcore" crowd for appro


The 2013 show, co-hosted by Joel McHale ( Community ) was more about the developers and awards, more about new announcements and loving the community. Despite a lot of awkward moments, last year's event was an improvement over years past but this year, Keighley is out. He and Spike (and owner Viacom) gracefully parted ways (apparently) and instead, Geoff Keighley is hosting a brand new, non-network-reliant game show, simply titled The Game Awards 2014 . And he's doing it with the backing of Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and bevvy of top game publish

In it, you get to choose between playing Kassandra or Alexios and going on a mission to reunite your family in addition to taking down the formidable Cult of Kosmos. The game is an epic adventure and open-world roleplaying g
