14 DAY TRIAL // We're nearing the end of September and we are knee deep in big releases, which means that we have been busy with diaries, review and Quick Looks during this week.
I have written a couple of entries for the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Gamer Diaries while my colleague Andrei Dobra has created a full Softpedia review for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, the Relic made and THQ published third person action game.
We also have Quick Look for: Heroes of Neverwinter, the Facebook based turn powered fantasy role playing game, Sengoku, the Paradox Interactive grand strategy that looks at intrigue and politics in Japan, and, finally, Driver: San Francisco, with its weird body swapping mechanics.
For those who want more we have two Weekend Reading piece, one about the success of the 3DS and one about how risks are taken in the gaming industry, and an EndWeekGame piece.
