Feature | Creative Assembly on regaining fan support after Total War: Warhammer's controversial DLC
''We completely understand we've got to build back that trust...''
Creative Assembly has offered pre-order incentives, in the form of extra units and playable factions, since Napoleon: Total War in 2010. It's always been unpopular with certain parts of the fanbase, but I don't think we've ever seen a reaction quite like the one following the news that Total War: Warhammer's Chaos Warriors would face the same fate.

Digital Foundry | Digital Foundry vs Alienation
A visual effects showcase, but is it a worthy successor to the brilliant Resogun?
Housemarque specialises in creating arcade action titles, with Alienation the latest in a long line of frenetic shooters backed up by a remarkable suite of technology. Conceptually, it's similar in nature to the firm's PS3/PS4 title, Dead Nation, but the sci-fi focus opens the door to a new gameplay focus, along with a radical revamp in visual effects work.

Steam updated to better expose recent user reviews
"I've played for 1000 hours and I can't stand it..."
Many games change significantly enough in their lifetimes that reading reviews written months or years ago can be misleading. You could be faced with a page of negative reviews complaining about problems that, in the time since they were written, were fixed. Similarly you could be looking at reviews written while a game was in an unfinished, Early Access state.

Review | Severed review
A lop of fun.
Severed is a very innovative game for 2011. When touchscreen gameplay became a new phenomena we had no shortage of titles like Infinity Blade and Fruit Ninja pioneering ways to merge touchscreen input with the precise thrill of an action game. The results weren't always elegant, but they were novel. DrinkBox Studios (Guacamelee!, Mutant Blobs Attack) has sought to replicate this already bygone fad in its latest Vita-exclusive first-person dungeon crawler Severed. The funny thing is that by being a few years behind the curve it's almost retro enough to be back in vogue.

Feature | His Story: How Sam Barlow rewrote the video game script
Police procedural generation.
One day in early 2014 Sam Barlow placed a scrap of paper on the kitchen table at his home on the South Coast of England. A few weeks earlier he had left a lucrative job as game director at Climax Studios. The games that he had made during his decade spent at the studio had won awards and yet, no amount of accolades had managed to shrug the nagging frustration that Barlow felt about storytelling in the medium. Where were the stories about domestic-scale drama? Where were the stories about characters who aren't 'aspirational' in some fantastical way, or stories about supposedly less marketable genders and races? Where, for that matter, was that most valuable tool in any fiction writer's pocket: subtext?
