The Game Awards 2014: Nominees

The Assassin's Creed series has featured many notable female characters, such as Evie Frye from Assassin's Creed Shadows patch notes|https://creedshadowgame.com/ Creed Syndicate and Aya from Assassin's Creed Origins , but none can match Kassandra, who is canon in the latest game in the series, Assassin's Creed Odyssey . Kassandra has proved to be the toughest female character in the series so far, being the great-granddaughter of King Leonidas of Sparta, who can wield a variety of weapons in the game, including swords, bows, spears, and axes. Kassandra can also perform brutal stealth kills, and she definitely does not let anything or anyone in the game intimidate


Before moving any more forward with recent photo modes in games, let’s take a step back. The photo modes we know and love today are a pretty recent feature, in the grand scheme of things. Ten years ago, people weren’t clamoring to take in-game pictures; that is, until Skate came along with its "skate.reel" feature. The now-retired skateboarding simulation was the first time I recall wanting to record every moment of my journey to becoming a (fake) pro ska


So more often than not, development teams turn to the notion of a "spiritual successor" - a continuation of the same themes or mechanics of their previous project, but a new name. The story can be a brand new tale, or a sequel in every regard except the game's ti


2018 was a great year for gaming, and many defining new titles were released. Among the various critically-acclaimed games of 2018, there were games that featured some tough female characters. In many games released this year, such as Assassins Creed Odyssey and Far Cry 5 , players even had the option to play as either a male or a female character. Here are the five best female characters that featured in video games this y


With the nominations coming before the year's end, we're faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014's titles being included (like Ubisoft's The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year's biggest titles ( Assassin's Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn't make the


Few games have offered a more ingenious take on puzzle-solving than Valve's Portal , but it wasn't the development team's first stab at the potential of portal-making. The theory was first proven in the form of the student group project Narbacular Drop , created by the development team that would be spotted and hired by Valve to craft their project into a full-blown rele


Kicking off the first day of October 2013 is NHL 2K4 for the PS3 and Xbox 360, followed by Beyond: Two Souls on the 8th, also for the PS3. Up next is the anticipated Pokémon X and Y for the Nintendo 3DS, taking the beloved franchise to the next evolution on October 12th. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes snaps into action on the 18th, with Batman: Arkham Origins hot on the trail on the 25th - both available for all major consoles. Closing out the month on the 29th are Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Battlefield 4 , both available on the PS3 and Xbox


Both these games don’t have the more powerful tools that some of the aforementioned games have, like God of War or Marvel's Spider-Man . There are no filters, borders, or depth of field options in the replay function. It is just raw gameplay, but they still look pretty decent. Just think what you can do with a decent photo mode in one of these games: you’ll be able to capture those game-winning goals from Neymar, or those big hits from Mack in all of their gl


Sadie Adler is an outlaw and bounty hunter who joins the Van Der Linde gang in Red Dead Redemption 2 . Rockstar Games describes her as "a widow who is hell-bent on taking revenge upon those who killed her husband. Relentless and afraid of nothing and no one. The wrong woman to cross, but very loyal to those she loves. " Sadie definitely lives up to this reputation and proves to be a great fighter alongside Arthur throughout many of the game's most memorable missi


Now that BioWare has turned their Dragon Age series into a cross-media franchise, it's hard for some to think that it owes its existence to a previous RPG series set within the Dungeons & Dragons universe. But it was the Baldur's Gate series upon which BioWare cut their teeth, with many of the innovations that made Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn a hit among hardcore RPG fans now considered trademarks of "a BioWare ga


What we can look forward to more great games with notable female characters in 2019. Some of the most highly-anticipated games include Gears 5 that will have Kait Diaz as its protagonist, Wolfstein: Youngblood that features twin sisters killing nazis , and the Indie game, Sea of Solitude , that follows the story of a young girl who becomes a monster. These last few years have definitely been female character's time to shine in gaming, and the trend seems to continue for future releases
