A glimmer of hope for a Timesplitters resurrection this week as Crytek give a green light to modders, Nintendo give away free games for 3DSXL owners and Bioshock: Infinite finally severs the multiplayer modes to concentrate on the awesome-looking single player experience. Far Cry 3 rocked our world in the reviews section. We also played Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, Hitman: Absolution and our Name of the month, Stealth Bastard. Our features take a look at the Kickstarter trend and how its time may be coming to a close. Carl also gives us a double-whammy with a look back at Outlaws and a week-one impressions piece on Planetside 2.
