The Big Story
Hawken Reborn isn't a comeback for the brilliant mech FPS, it's a total disaster
(505)
505 Games has taken the corpse of the fantastic mech PvP romp—which died well before its time—and turned it into an ugly PvE game that I've had to stop playing because the broken mouse sensitivity and overenthusiastic cockpit animation have hammered my head.

Review of the Week
Firmament: A beautiful but flawed new adventure from the creators of Myst

Features of the AI-powered NPC include awareness of their location within Skyrim, knowledge of other NPCs and conversations, and summaries of Skyrim's books and notes. Plus, Herika will still act like other followers by helping in combat, carrying things for me, and so on.
