Sunday Comics: Dead Island You know what would be awesome? A game that played like Dragon Age but featured locations and characters from George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of books (now a major television series). Watching this combat trailer for Cyanide Studio’s Game of Thrones role-playing game, I’d say that dream might soon be a reality.
The newest Halo Minimates aren’t going to offer up any clues to Halo 4, but they’re still worthy additions to the collections of fans who’ve been following the sci-fi series. First announced last September, the Series 4 set will mark the first time that Cortana’s been a bite-sized plaything. The UNSC vs. Covenant battles will spread to your desk later this year.
They won’t tell us whether this spring’s 10-years-later remake, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary will use the Kinect for voice control, gesture control or what, but Microsoft did tell us today that the game’s Kinect suport won’t compromise the quality of the original game.

If you thought all developer Bizarre Creations can do is driving, wait until you see Daniel Craig driving his fists, knees, feet and elbows into the easily broken bits of his enemies in Blood Stone 007.

Namco Bandai’s MagnaCarta 2 is in stores today, which makes it an excellent time for a combat walkthrough video!
Cryptic Studios’ latest installment of Ask Cryptic on the Star Trek Online website neatly puts to rest one of my biggest worries about the game – how space combat is handled. I’ve spent far too many years battling starships both in video game and miniatures game form to have the experience reduced to a simple point and click affair. Players will definitely be given full control. A large portion of starship combat in Star Trek Online is tactical – manoeuvring your ship into position so you protect your vital systems as you attack your opponent’s weakest side. You need to be “in control” of your ship in order for that to work well and be fun.
