UK Charts: Titanfall respawns on top, Bound by Flame hits 12th
New releases have dried up ahead of May's big hitters, and right now the UK charts are more static than The Last Guardian's Wikipedia page. Titanfall retakes top spot from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, although it's hardly a plummet to the pavement for old Spidey; Activision's tie-in game stays as high as third. The only new release in the entire top 40 is Spiders' action-RPG Bound by Flame, and it took advantage of a quiet week to place 12th. Expect more fireworks in the charts when the likes of Wolfenstein: The New Order, Mario Kart 8 and Watch Dogs hit later this month. [Image: EA]

Bound by Flame launch trailer takes us through the ire and maims
Bound by Flame is the latest, hottest new thing from Mars: War Logs and Of Orcs and Men developer Spiders, and a launch trailer heralds its arrival on PC and consoles this week. It's a combat-heavy action-RPG that pits players as a mercenary who gets possessed by a demon. The evil spirit bestows the unwitting soldier with special powers, like being able to wield a flaming sword at will - always handy. That's all well and good, but the demon also wants its influence to be total. It's up to players to choose by their actions whether to stay good and heroic, or to succumb to the evil within and let things get decidedly fiery. As for the combat, it's spread across two disciplines that the player can switch between on the fly, namely Warrior and Ranger. The Warrior is all about big, heavy two-handed attacks that deal high damage, while the Ranger is more fleet-footed with dual-wield daggers and stealth abilities. Thanks to the demon, players can supplement both methods of attack with pyromancer abilities, spanning from the burning blade to hurling great big fireballs about. Bound by Flame launches on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on Friday, May 9. [Image: Focus Home Interactive]

Bound by Flame combat trailer is feeling hot, hot, hot
When possessed by a flame demon, you have to ask yourself a question. No, not "Why am I possessed by a flame demon?" You need to ask how to channel it. Thankfully, Bound By Flame's combat trailer breaks down how you can do just that. Spoiler: They all involve fire. [Image: Focus Home Interactive]
Take a swing at this Bound by Flame PS4 gameplay trailer
Creepy-crawly developer Spiders issued a new combat trailer for its demonic hack-and-slash game, Bound by Flame. The trailer shows a variety of weapons being used to pulverize the undead enemies, such as the stealthy use of a crossbow and the pounding swings from a two-handed hammer. Published by Focus Home Interactive, Bound by Flame will launch May 9 on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The game was first announced at Gamescom in August 2013 and has players controlling a mercenary possessed by a flame demon with the option of embracing the dark forces or rejecting them, with benefits to either decision.

Spiders' action RPG Bound By Flame arrives May 9
We knew that Spiders' Bound By Flame was due for PS4, PS3, PC and Xbox 360 before the end of June, but now we have an exact starting date for protagonist Vulcan's quest to slay the Icelords plaguing his world. Players can begin swinging at Bound By Flame's monsters on May 9, collecting resources and progressing through skill trees. Of course, that means you'll be able to collect and customize weaponry and armor as you go. There's also the overarching question of whether you'll allow the fire demon that's possessed Vulcan to override your character's humanity. I mean sure, it's nice to have a soul and all, but blaze-fueled powers sound pretty handy when you're going up against a bunch of Icelords. We imagine taking on a flame-spewing demon would be pretty comparable to fights in the Ice Kingdom, just without the princess status or mean letters. [Image: Spiders]
Bound by Flame embraces dark fantasy this year
Bound by Flame, the coming action-RPG from Spiders Studio, will launch on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4 and PC before the end of June this year. Project Leader Walid Miled revealed the launch timetable in a post on the PlayStation Blog today. In Bound by Flame, players control a mercenary possessed by an evil fire demon. Players may either embrace the evil inside and grow those powers, or ignore the demon and embrace more heroic development. Spiders Studio was founded in 2008 and is headquartered in Paris, France. You may recall the outfit's previous games, Mars: War Logs and The Testament of Sherlock Holmes. [Image: Spiders Studio]
Bound by Flame hacks and slashes in new trailer
A new trailer has arrived for Focus Home Interactive's Bound by Flame. The action-heavy teaser trailer shows some of the game's dark, seemingly undead enemies being pulverized by two men prior to an enormous monster showing up. Bound by Flame was announced at Gamescom, and will come to PS3, PS4, PC and Xbox 360 this year. Developed by Spiders, the game has players controlling a character possessed by a flame demon, with the option of rejecting the demon to gain heroic strengths or embracing it to use evil powers.
Bound by Flame makes demonic possession look pretty on PS4
Bound by Flame, the action RPG from Focus Home Interactive and Spiders (aah, run!), is coming to PS3, Xbox 360, PC and PS4 this year. The game was announced at Gamescom last week for current-gen consoles and PC. Bound by Flame inhabits a dark fantasy world where players embody a mercenary possessed by a flame demon, allowing them to either embrace the demon inside and gain evil powers, or reject it and earn heroic talents. As enemies grow more foul, the temptation to take on more demonic powers grows, and the heroes' bodies transform as they allow more evil into their souls. The world is infested with all kinds of grotesque enemies, including floating squid-like things and hulking beasts with hollow chest cavities and horns. Sounds fun.
