Trion Worlds has today announced that MMO Rift will be going free-to-play come June 12, after almost two years of being based on a subscription model which is quite a feat for today’s MMO genre. The announcement comes directly from creative director Bill Fisher but Trion has also set up a portal for the free-to-play transition, detailing just what exactly players will gain from the new change.Today I am here to announce another dramatic change to RIFT – a change brought on by player feedback...

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. continues its tour-de-tease today with the ultimate culmination: The full-length trailer for the series.  Clocking in at 2:48, this is a true substantive look at this fall’s new Marvel Cinematic Universe spinoff featuring a new team of superhero-sighting suits keeping the world safe from incursions from the powerful elements of the unknown. This time, we get a look at things from the perspective of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) a S.H.I.E.L.D....

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is wasting little time with its hype machine and has unleashed yet another teasing sneak peak promo clip. Apparently, even with the new images and debut footage that hit over the weekend, plus today’s unveiling of new photos, they must have felt that fans just weren’t left ravenous enough. Now, a second, albeit extremely brief promo clip has surfaced showing some new footage which, above all else, tells us that with S.H.I.E.L.D., a fireplace is never...

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, this fall’s quarter-quelling second quest has released a new, some would say bizarre poster on its official Instagram account featuring the lovely figure of Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen standing mightily atop a cliff. The poster seems to resemble an old-timey image of some type of iconic figure standing majestically above the wild of nature like Theodore Roosevelt. (The only example I could conjure at the moment.) Yet, it also seems to carry...

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has already made itself one of the most anticipated television shows of all time. Just after getting the debut teaser promo, ABC has officially released a trio of new stills from this fall’s pilot episode. While they hardly unveil any substantive answers, they do provide an interesting look at the show. In fact, one photo shows Clark Gregg’s Agent Phil Coulson in an interrogation room sitting across a table from Chloe Bennet’s quirky computer...

X-Men: Days of Future Past continues its tweet-tastic reveals with its second successive look by director, Bryan Singer at the 1973 segment of the time-bending sequel, this time with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Nicholas Hoult’s Beast. Just last week we got our first look at James McAvoy’s younger version of Professor Charles Xavier in his oddly-futuristic wheelchair, dressed as the long-lost Festrunk Brother.

Game Review: Sacred Citadel

Posted by on May 13, 2013 | Leave a Comment

Sacred Citadel is content with how unremarkable it is. In a niche populated with the likes of Castle Crashers, that’s not something to be proud of. This side-scrolling beat-em-up role-playing hybrid is a timesink that starts off great, but gets old very quickly. If you’re a fan of the genre, there are better alternatives. Sacred Citadel is visually appealing, but nothing about it stands out. It employs an aesthetic that suggests a three-dimensional cartoony vibe and sticks with it...
