Sierra was a well known developer and publisher of games in the 80's, 90's, and up to the point it ceased to be in 2008. Well, it's back. At least, it might be back?
The following video plays prior to showing a rather sparse page on a newly launched Sierra website.
Back in 2008, Sierra's parent company Vivendi Universal merged with Activision to form Activision Blizzard. As a result, ownership of Sierra was transferred to Activision. Later that year, ...

Blue Estate Review (PS4)
Blue Estate is an on-rails shooter that utilizes the DualShock 4's gyroscope for aiming. The idea of using the gyroscope for aiming sounds promising enough. In theory, it should be a decent substitute for not being able to use light guns or PlayStation Move functionality. In theory, this type of game should be a lot of fun, especially for those who enjoy the arcade style on-rails shooters from days gone by. In theory a dark humor, grindhouse style of game should be amazing provided the... -

Battlefield 4 is "Free" on Origin Until August 14
Battlefield 4 is the latest game to receive the Origin Game Time treatment! For those of you who forgot from last time, Game Time is a way of giving a player time limited access to a game where the clock starts when you first start playing, provided you begin playing prior to August 14 at 10AM (PT). The amount of time for Battlefield 4? 168 hours of game time, or one full week. Or to put that another way, that's about half of my total play time in Battlefield 4, a game I've had si... -

Valve May Have Quietly Soft Launched Source 2 Last Night
Last night, Valve released the Dota 2 Workshop Tools alpha. Included was a new version of the Hammer editor, something modders haven't seen in ages.
That's all well and good, but what wasn't apparent is that included in the tools are numerous references to Source Engine 2, or Source 2 for short. In addition to this, the additional ~5.5GB of Dota 2 that you need to download in addition to the new tools? It's running on Source 2.

Sony is Being Sued Over Killzone: Shadow Fall's Graphics
Sony is being hit with a lawsuit for "deceptive marketing" of Killzone: Shadow Fall because the game's multiplayer mode isn't a "true" 1080p resolution. Douglas Ladore from California, filed the suit in the Northern District California court. He says that Sony advertised that the game runs at a native 1080p resolution but it "used a technological shortcut that was supposed to provide 'subjectively similar' results." See, what Killzone does for the multiplayer component is render eac... -
