'Dual Survivor' Review - Seeing Double :
There aren't many games that ask you to do two things at once. One character to move about in a platformer -- one cursor in adventure games -- limiting control to one thing at a time is a common practice. But with Dual Survivor

So how much does it cost to host an eSports competition anyway?:
Natural Selection II is the first-person shooter meets real-time strategy title, and two weeks ago developer Unknown Worlds hosted their World Championship tournament for the game. It was the culmination of months of qualifiers, featuring hundreds of players from all over the world.
So just how much does it cost to throw an event of this caliber? Unknown Worlds' Huge Jeremy sent us over a breakdown of it all, and for this small indie studio it cost them $67,443 to host the World Championship tournament. A little over 52% of that was paid by the developers, and the rest was covered between sponsors and voluntary contributors. That's not a lot, but remember this is an indie studio. When a company like Riot Games throws a big League of Legends tournament you can be sure they're spending millions on it.

US digital games market update: February 2014
US digital games market update: February 2014:
Lead-up to Titanfall release lowers February digital spending. With gamers anticipating the retail release of Titanfall (Electronic Arts) in early March, digital console spending on full titles dropped in February. Combined with lower spending on social games, the digital games market totaled $959 million in sales in February, showing a 5% decline month-over-month. We do, however, expect a bump in digital sales for next month based on Titanfall’s season pass and Digital Deluxe package (PC only). Despite this month’s drop, the total digital games market showed a 17% increase, year-over-year.
