What can I say about the Keep? Its pretty much the all in one solution to an issue that has been plaguing lovers of Bioware’s best selling franchises. Bioware is well known for two RPG’s in which the heroes’ choices weigh heavily on the outcome of the story; those games are Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Ever since the first direct sequels to these games emerged there was an issue in porting saves over, especially in the case of the Mass Effect games where you play the same character/hero throughout the series (Dragon Age changes heroes every story but the choices you make in the first two games are supposed to weigh heavily in the future of the franchise). Issues with dialogue or who is dead/alive have cropped up when porting over saves and when you are dependent on a story being linear it has the effect of taking you out of the story. The Keep is the ultimate solution, especially for those of us who are buying the game on the latest generation of consoles.

SHOOT 'N' LOOT!!!!!!! THE MOON!!! GUNS!!! SHOOTING!!!! LASERS!!!!!!!!! GEARBOX'S RETURN TO THEIR UNIQUE FPS-RPG FRANCHISE!!!! Ahem, now that that's out of the way, last week saw the release of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and whilst many had their doubts that this game was going to act as filler; a not so full-length game that just fills the time between Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3, fear not. By Luke Kirby It’s nothing to be surprised about that when a new console launches, the company is already looking to the future for their next piece of hardware. So, when Gamnesia wrote an article about Nintendo hiring hardware architects, it's enough to set the rumour mill going on overtime. They could of course be working on anything at this point, however, with the openings asking for a focus on power and performance, there is a strong chance that we are looking at something serious here. By Paul Robert Scott I'm not really into sports. I like a little Rugby and I can get behind the Tennis whenever it's Wimbledon, but on the whole I tend to just forget about the sports world entirely. The less I say about Football the better. However, having said all that I do tend to get behind Formula 1 a bit. There's just something about the mix of state-of-the-art machinery and personal skill and guts that makes the whole thing worth watching. So with the latest F1 title having just been released for the end of the 2014 season, I thought I'd get my hands on and see what improvements have been made over the great many instances that have come before it. By Vanessa Hague One ring to rule them all, but is it one game to rule them all? Well Shadow of Mordor does have it's faults but it is a very good game; featuring well-known mechanics from other game franchises, it turns these into something that is distinctly it's own - less a ring, more of "one game to rule them all (LotR games that is)." By Paul Robert Scott Over the weekend I got a chance to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Manchester Play Expo. Over the course of two days, approximately ten-thousand people descended on the largest Northern gaming exhibition in the UK. They got to play on the latest games (And some old ones), heard developers speak one what is up and coming and even got to meet a few celebrities along the way. For myself, it would have been easy to do exactly the same and still come back home with a wealth of knowledge. However, it has to be admitted that it is a rare thing to get so many passionate gamers in one place. Perfect opportunity then, to ask the public how they feel about the current state of the gaming industry. By John Philip Jennings Watch_Dogs faced mixed reviews on its release. From a personal standpoint, I really enjoyed the game, having played the Xbox One version, but how does the first edition of add on content stack up to the main game? By The IWG Games Team October is Black History Month in the UK and as we are never to turn down any celebration, we here at I'm With Geek have opted to spend the next few weeks giving our own contributions to this cause for renewed awareness. To kick things off the Games Team are here to give us a list of some of their favourite characters. |
