The future is looking very bright for Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera developer inXile. Very bright indeed. Two wildly successful Kickstarters and one nearly complete, maddeningly exciting game later, Brian Fargo and co have finally found their niche. Or rather, they’ve settled back into the comforting clockwork of an old wheelhouse, an old home. But the road to this point was hardly an easy one. The developer-publisher relationship has always been rather skewed, and inXile’s taken its fair share of licks. Some times have been good (see: The Bard’s Tale), and other

UK shop Game has restarted its Play Now/Trade Later deal. It means you can buy selected games and trade them in for a guaranteed amount, effectively meaning you pay a fiver for them. Codemasters' superb racer Dirt 3 is on the list. Fear 3 on Xbox 360 (not PS3) is another. Other games included are: * UFC Trainer (Wii); * Cars 2 (DS) ;* Art Academy (DS) ;* Call of Juarez: The Cartel (Xbox 360 and PS3) ;* Hunted: The Demon's Forge (PS3); * Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (Wii); If you trade in any of those games for credit before 12th August they'll effectively cost £5. The credit can

"A vast world of horrific sights and monsters" is a great way to describe both the Internet and the world of Hunted: The Demon's Forge, from developer Inxile Entertainment. Since they share a similar (Read: Demonic) environment, Shacknews has decided to bring these two elements together and give away two copies of the PC version of Hunted: The Demon's Forge. Shack has two retail copies of the Bethesda Softworks-published title, and we want you to help us dungeon crawl and demon slay. Entering the giveaway is simple, you just have to follow a few rules: * Leave a comment below telling us who th

As the girl with the bow, fellow archers in the treeline are your targets. You pop up from cover, arrow nocked, taking them down one headshot at a time. That clears the path... mostly... for your friend with the sword to dash in. Pity nothing’s never quite so easy. Out of nowhere, a minotaur charges and you’re down, crawling and hammering the button to stay alive until your friend gets a second to turn and sling one of his precious resurrection vials your way – salvation with a side of mana to return the favour with a magically charged Battle Boost. Like all good crimes, killing is best done

Dark detective drama L.A. Noire has extended its reign on top of the charts, spending a third week at number one. Co-operative fantasy fighter Hunted: The Demon's Forge was last week's major new contender, but the Bethesda-published adventure could only capture 14th place. Hunted's platform sales broke down to 63 per cent Xbox 360, 30 per cent on PS3 and 7 per cent on PC (excluding downloads). Sims 3: Generations - the life simulation's fourth expansion - fared better, knocking up a tenth place entry on PC. Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is anchored in second, no doubt buoyed by the release of

Campaign co-operative play was once the preserve of the dedicated PC gamer, but these days it's become a standard gameplay feature and it's not hard to see why. My experience playing Gears of War, for example, was infinitely superior once I had someone there to witness me punting a Locust corpse around a room while shouting that we do not negotiate with terrorists, and I know that Left 4 Dead was more memorable whenever someone had to fight their way across a level to save my life than it would have been if I'd just used a health pack. The presence of a friend means that co-op is fun by defaul

What ho readers! We have five copies of Hunted: The Demon's Forge to give away, which is terrific as we really enjoy hunting Demon's Forges. Their spindly little legs and heavy anvils mean they struggle to get away. We like to track their scent for miles before taking them on mano 'o' forgo, armed only with a knife. Read on for details of how to win. To be in with a chance of winning, you're going to need to answer the following question on our Facebook group. The top five answers will win a free copy of Hunted: The Demon's Forge, which is released on June 3rd. How would you fight demons? Do

Swords and shields adventure Hunted: The Demon's Forge hopes to capture your imagination this week. By virtue of it being the only major release, will it capture the contents of your wallet too? You play as couple of money-obsessed mercenaries who would never help anyone without the promise of gold. So of course you must gradually find a moral compass and become world-saving heroes. What else is out this week? PC megahit The Sims 3 launches its latest expansion, Generations. We don't normally cover add-ons here, but it's a retail release and, well, new pickings have rarely been slimmer. It's w

Hunted: The Demon's Forge is now available on Steam! As you travel deep within the world of Kala Moor, you will use a variety of deadly weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to face down wave after wave of vicious enemies. It will take the combined efforts of two great warriors to explore menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns … and discover the secrets of the Demon’s Forge.

This article over on Gamasutra is a little skewed by its title, “How RPGs Were A 30-Year Detour”, because inXile’s president Matt Findley doesn’t actually say that specifically, but it’s interesting and provocative all the same. What he said was this: “Well, you know, we analyzed the long history of video games. I think these games always wanted to be action games at their heart. I think all those old turn-based games, it’s just that’s all the technology would allow.” Controversy! Some thoughts on that below. (more…)

In the latest behind-the-scenes video for inXile's Hunted: The Demon's Forge, the development team explores how they tackled crafting the game world, and how players can create their own bits of it using the game's Crucible map editor.

Oof, there’s some glossy production on the two “making of” videos of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge you’ll find beneath the jump, including Lucy Lawless doing a piece to camera on what “the great thing about Hunted” is. Disappointingly, she doesn’t go on to say that Lucy Lawless is the great thing about Hunted. I bet she’s reading this and kicking herself. Bethesda really are pumping the handles of the hype machine as hard as they can for this one, aren’t they? Alec and I have both played it now, and it’s hard to take away any impres

"Hunted is running through dungeons and killing monsters with really cool swords, really cool weapons, and amazing spells," says developer inXile's president Matt Findley. That's enough of a description for me. The rest of you should watch this behind-the-scenes trailer. It may look like just another hack-and-slash dungeon crawler, but Hunted: The Demon Forge has a lot going on under the hood that you might not pick up on simply by seeing the game in action. The cooperative aspects of the game are what truly sets it apart, with innovative ways for two players to work together to take on otherw
