Canadian Videogame Awards: 2013 Nominations Announced
Wilson is the first character to be given a backstory through a cutscene. In the trailer for the game, we see Wilson as a defeated scientist with failed experiments, lacking inspiration. A mysterious voice compels him to build a huge machine, filling him with great knowledge. Once the machine is finished, he hesitates, but the voice aggressively commands him to pull the lever and activate it. With a fitting evil laugh, shadowy arms appear through the floor and drag Wilson to the world of Don’t Starve . Poor guy. We also see Maxwell laughing above, proving him to be the antagonist of the g
The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different. Reboot Communications and EP Media are moving the show this year from Vancouver FanExpo, where it's traditionally been held, to Toronto but recently delayed the production to the fall where the 2013 awards will be announced alongside (but separately from) the 2014 awards as w
Wendy is haunted by her dead twin sister, Abigail. Obsessed with her to the point of talking to her frequently, Wendy can summon Abigail’s ghost to fight alongside her in combat. This is helpful in beating mobs of monsters and keeping Wendy safe. But why is Wendy so obsessed with her late sister and unable to move on? The text from the loading screen involving Wendy states that she "clings fiercely to the grief over her sister’s death" because she’s afraid that moving on would make her forget Abigail. That makes her depressing character seem less weird, but certainly sad
The 2014 show will include 2013 and 2014 made games to be awarded separately, based on the nomination year, in one ceremony. Information on 2014 nominations will be released in June while the votes for the 2013 winners must be submitted by April 21st. The award ceremony takes place November 21, 2014 at the Carlu in the heart of downtown Toro
You can grow your farm, meet the villagers, and even invite some friends over online to help you around. All of this is done in first-person, making the game a little more immersive than the usual point-and-click farming games. Some fans even consider Staxel as a better version of Harvest Moon since that's one of the main apparent inspirations of the developers for creating this g
Like Harvest Moon , the Animal Crossing franchise has a tendency to be Nintendo console exclusives, meaning its availability is often limited. However, it's also one of the closest games in atmosphere and gameplay to Harvest Moon . The two even go together in a Nintendo Switch news console like peanut butter and je
The 2013 finalists for the Canadian Videogame Awards span seventeen categories and include 29 games, narrowed down from 75 nominated titles. To qualify titles, at least in part, must be developed in Canada. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag leads the pack this year with an impressive 12 nominations. Last year's show saw Far Cry 3 take him the most awards , including Game of The Y
When Arthur Morgan returns from his gallivanting escape on the island of Guarma, he has changed drastically. Having spent a large part of the game realizing the errors of his life while accepting the reality of his impending doom, Arthur is not the same man we met in the snowy mounta
Feijoada restores 20 health, 75 hunger and 15 sanity points. Thankfully bean bugs are easy to find, simply look for any stone slabs around the area and voila, bean bugs. Of course you do need the Hamlet DLC to find them but hey, anything to keep you from starving for one more
A haunting guitar track that chimes in while the endgame credits are rolling, Table Top is first on our list with a current total of 923,126 plays. This is a great piece for reminiscing and reflecting on everything that happened leading up to end-g
This delectable meal will not disappoint and may just save your run of Don't starve. Lobster Dinner requires two main ingredients: a wobster and some butter. After you have those two ingredients you must use some filler for the remaining two slots but be wary of what you use. You cannot use meat nor ice in this recipe and you need to be wary of using more than one t
The characters of Don’t Starve all have instruments for voices when they speak, and Wilba is no exception. Her instrument is pretty special – it’s an ocarina. The Legend of Zelda fans will no doubt be thinking of Ocarina of Time , a popular Zelda game famed for its little blue ocarina that allows the protagonist to travel to different places and times. As a pig princess, is Wilba perhaps linked to Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time ? While she speaks in musical tones like everyone else, she also oinks when she’s done speak
From the game’s flavor texts and dialogue, it becomes clear that Wolfgang , otherwise known as The Strongman, has done a lot of things in his time. He is said to have been a member of a "troupe," which sure sounds like a circus troupe. Plus, one of his skins is called the "Circus Rose Atti
