Dishonored Preview: Honor Thy Player
Arkane's stealth action game lives up to its early promise.
There's a certain dignity to Dishonored, though it's not to be found in the high-society masquerade party that houses the most recent playable demo of Arkane's stealth-minded action game. The dignity is in the details and in the design, in its noble intentions and in its respect of the player and their choices. Dishonored's a game that promises its players the world, and at times it looks damn close to being able to gift it to them.

Feature | Retrospective: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
How Rockstar's ambitious ghetto fable captures a blockbuster series in mid-evolution.
It starts with that high-pitched G-funk siren wail.

Opinion | Saturday Soapbox: The Feelbad Factor
Why more games should be making us feel bad.
I like to spend a lot of my free time being miserable, and I don't think I'm entirely alone in that regard. I'm drawn towards sad things, whether that's wallowing in the autumnal sludge of shoegazing music or getting lost in the downbeat melodrama of filmmakers such as Sirk or Ozu.

Review | Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Review
Light metal.
Good news: you don't need to have played the last Transformers game, War for Cybertron, to enjoy this sequel to that 2010 third-person shooter. [War for Cybertron is only the last if you ignore last year's film tie-in Dark of the Moon, but ignoring that would probably be for the best - Ed.] It's more a do-over than a sequel, and the essential plot is no more than 'good robots fighting bad robots as their home planet dies'.
