Canadian Videogame Awards: 2013 Nominations Announced

As perfect as the Nintendo switch exclusive games may be, and as utterly fantastic as they may be to play, there are some things about both entries that leave fans either frustrated or scratching their heads. A good illustration of this nonsensical nature is the ever-reliable meme, ten of which show that the games do not make much sense, and we look at them h


But it also made fans speculate about his life and what he's doing in The Constant. According to some fan theories about the Don't Starve games, Warly may have chosen to enter The Constant in exchange for his Maman Angeline getting her memories b


To acquire eggs in Don't Starve, either capture a bird and feed it meat or steal some from the Pengull creature. You can also use a stolen tallbird egg but that is much more dangerous. The recipe requires you to put in an egg value of 2, which means either two regular eggs or 1 tallbird egg and a meat value of 1.5. If you use the tallbird egg then just use a twig as a filler for the last s


The biggest struggle in winter is staying warm. Before winter starts, collect rabbits, beefalo fur, or catcoon tails in order to craft warm clothes that will help keep your character's body heat up. Although you'll likely spend a lot of your winter near your fire pit at home, you'll still have to go out eventual


Careful not to overuse your Axe, though, as Woodie can quickly turn into the Werebeaver! You can consume logs if you want to keep that ability going, though. If you like to gather a lot of wooden resources for crafting, building and turning into a giant monster, then Woodie’s the character for


Based on his name alone, it sounds like Woodie would be pretty good at one particular thing: gathering wood. True enough, he starts a run with his old friend Lucy the Axe, who can chop down trees much quicker than ordinary axes. She's also everlasting, which means you’ll never need to craft another Axe again (which can be a real resource sav


This robot can seem a bit difficult to master at first, what with his weakness to rain and relatively low initial stats. However, the upgrades that WX-78 can grab are pretty worth it. Gears are hard to come by but will bring WX-78’s stats right up. He is also 'charged' by lightning strikes, which will lend him some additional movement sp


Don't Starve by Klei Entertainment is a unique open world sandbox survival game with horror elements. Right from the get go, the title tells you your objective, to not starve. That can be easier said than done in this charming little game. Not only must you forage for food while building up a base, you also need to be wary of various enemies and weather conditions as well as your own san

It's a good thing that Warly loves to cook because he gets hungry faster than other characters in the game. That means that if you're heading out any distance from your camp, you should consider taking your portable crockpot with you in order to cook something up on the


However, like a lot of these style games, his death raises the question of healing. You get shot continuously, an insane amount in fact, and leave without a scratch, but it happens in a cutscene and boom, your d


The absolute best way to restore an empty stomach in Don't Starve lies with this dish, the Meaty Stew. As you can probably guess by the name, this dish simply requires you to have a lot of meat, a value of 3 in fact. If you have space left in the crock pot after achieving the meat value of 3, you can put in a carrot or mushroom to complete


As great as they are, though, horses in the game can be infuriating. Especially when your horse, despite your protests, seems to have an immense urge to run into a tree. There are also the times when your horse is unable to jump over tiny rocks, and you end up falling over, sometimes even leading to your de


However, Wes provides one important thing for players: a challenge. While he may not always be the first pick, he is a fun character to practice your veteran Don’t Starve skills with, to see how long you can survive with multiple obstacles in your


Wilson is the first character in the selection menu for a reason! He’s a well-rounded character, with solid Health, Sanity and Hunger (all of which drain at average rates). His only "special" ability is to grow a beard, but that can actually come in handy. Wilson’s beard can insulate him in the winter and can be trimmed to make Meat Effigies, which are used to resurrect the pla


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
