Joystiq: "Arkane Studios will wrap up downloadable content plans for its stealth-action thriller, Dishonored, with the upcoming release of "The Brigmore Witches," a narrative-rich expansion that follows up on April's DLC The Knife of Dunwall. Despite being a direct continuation of the previous DLC's storyline, The Brigmore Witches forges its own identify, introducing a new set of features for Dishonored's final chapter."
Joshua Vanderwall:"I'll level with you: I haven't actually played The Knife of Dunwall yet, and, while I'm familiar with the first Dishonored DLC, I was a little reluctant to sit down with The Brigmore Witches, the second and final story DLC, which continues with a focus on the assassin, Daud. I was given assurances that as long as I had a working knowledge of the game, however, that it would still be an enjoyable experience, and I was surprised to learn that they were absolutely correct."
EGM: "Dishonoreds first story add-on, Knife of Dunwall, did more to evolve the series core gameplay that youd usually expect from a piece of downloadable content. A part of me expected The Brigmore Witches to be an equally large step forward, but after playing through the first two missions, its fairly clear that this final DLC release is more about tying up loose ends than anything else."
Ryan: Some days you just dont have it. This was one of those days for our buddy islider 8 shots from his FAL and 1 wave of the combat knife later, he has nothing to show for it (unless you count shame).
Results vary, from TowerFall creators selling 2000 game units at $15 each to Knife Media breaking even with its twin-stick shooter Red.
Developers for the recently launched Ouya console voiced their opinions on about how each of their various titles have sold so far.
Developer Matt Thorson, who created , selling 2000 units at $15 each. "Sales have been surprisingly high for a new game on a new console. The game has definitely proven itself on Ouya, I think there#146;s enough demand to warrant bringing it to PC," he said.
Developer NimbleBit's title, , was downloaded 6,508 times and was purchased 122 times, bringing the total profit of the game to $427. Co-founder David Marsh said that he would recommend the Ouya for indie developers who are familiar with Android and are curious about the console. "It#146;s probably not going to be a huge source of income compared to other platforms, but it#146;s dead easy to submit a game and get it into the store. It#146;s the only console right now with a truly open store, which makes it interesting and worth supporting if you want to see more open platforms. It#146;s also a great device to have just to check out all sorts of neat experimental multiplayer games that are already popping up. I think it#146;s a step in the right direction," he said.
Knife Media's co-founder Jack Shiels said that sales for the company's game, , was adequate at best. "We broke even within two and a half weeks, whilst sales are currently sitting at just below 400. Right now that doesn#146;t seem like a whole lot, but there aren#146;t a significant amount of Ouyas out in the wild right now. I reckon by year end we will have a clearer picture," he said.
Ryan Wiemeyer, co-founder of the team The Men Who Wear Many Hats, said that the game of what his low-end predictions were. "Last I checked we were at 501 purchases from 13,112 downloads (a 3.8 percent attach rate). This accounts for about 0.1 percent of our total Organ Trail sales to date (which is over 400,000.) So, I don't even know if it was worth the man hours yet. Then again#146; Organ Trail was a pain to add controller support to and that was the bulk of the port."

Ubisoft's Swiss Army Knife of a protagonist goes nuts in new footage.
Back in black! On the hitlist! Other relevant puns! Ubisoft has released a new Splinter Cell: Blacklist trailer, thus reminding us that it's out on 20th August in the US and 23rd August in the UK, and that we haven't shot any fictional Middle Eastern terrorists in, like, weeks. Sorry for the reduced bodycount, I've been playing Red Dead Redemption.
