Many of you will remember Evolve, it was a fairly promising looking game in the build-up to its launch but once word of Turtle Rock Studios' DLC plans started going around, a lot of people were put off entirely. These days only a handful of people ever launch the game but Turtle …

One of the more common complaints among gamers is that AAA studios play it safe. They release the same game with minor updates year on year and are rewarded for it. That's why it can be so exciting when a developer releases something new and deviates from the path, but …
