Syndicate stays true to its roots while adapting to the future.
When EA outed Syndicate early this year it was met with a fair amount of criticism. Critics specifically belabored the fact that the reboot was taking the beloved isometric action-adventure-strategy game and molding it into a “visceral first person shooter.” In a video game landscape where the FPS is king the move makes sense, but that doesn’t mean that longstanding fans are going to be understanding of the change. So it is perhaps with an olive branch extended that publisher EA has revealed that the new Syndicate will contain a robust four-player cooperative campaign to go along with the single-player experience.
Nick, Julian, and Esteban explore the notable games and lasting impact of the Xbox.
Back in late 2001, Microsoft first entered the realm of console gaming with the Xbox. Although its sales numbers are nothing impressive when compared to that of the PlayStation 2, it did manage to outsell longtime videogame company Nintendo's GameCube, which is still a fine showing for a first console outing. Despite being a massive financial loss for the company, it laid the groundwork for much of what is now standard in the gaming industry.
It appears that Nintendo's not the only company that can make a stunning 2D platformer.

After bug fixing delays, Dead Island's first dose of DLC finally arrives.
Dead Island didn’t have what you’d call an ideal launch. The game was released with some significant bugs that hampered some gamers’ ability to progress, especially on the PC, which in turn resulted in Techland delaying the first planned dose of DLC as they elected to spend the time smoothing out the game’s many issues. After the release of last week’s patch it seems that Dead Island may finally be getting on track as further evidenced by the announcement that the delayed DLC will be going live next week.
