Middle of the week, kind of boring. Maybe you had a long weekend and just didn't want to go back to work. Maybe you just hate everything and live for tiny moments of pleasure you find on co-op news sites (high five!). Here's something cheerful for you to consume: the completely badass opening cinematic from Halo 5: Guardians. Also, Nathan F...
Patch 2.3.0 has been pushed out to Diablo 3 owners around the world, and the list of updates and additions is so large it requires a table of contents. New areas to explore, new recipes, new powers to lust after, and plenty of new items to admire and grab and hoard!
The team at Omega Force is either extremely dedicated to the Musuo genre they created, or they're indentured to obey the demands of the market. Warriors games flood out with inevitable regularity, most of them grounded in some sort of reality. With their flagship franchise Dynasty Warriors lodged squarely in Chinese History,...
Last night's Monday Night Stream consisted of the new RTS from developer Eugen, Act of Aggression. The game is clearly a throwback to a title and series many of us loved - Command and Conquer. From the music, to the units, to the presentation and even some of the special abilities - the inspiration is clear and frankly that's a good thing for those of us who grew up gaming on computers in the 1990s. Yes we're old gamers trying to play an RTS with a APM of about 7.
It's been teased and bandied about for some time now, and at long last, the biggest update to Destiny has arrived. All whopping 17+ Gb of it. This update undoubtedly includes much of the content for the Taken King expansion, which is due to arrive next week, but the big focus is the changes it makes to the game starting today. Let's review, shall we?
I am a fan of the puzzle/platformer Chariot. The wife and I put in a good chunk of time playing through the game on our PS4; working together to not only get every collectible we could but in some cases to just make it through a level. So I'm glad to hear that it will be getting some DLC love, even if it is for the Xbox One version only.
So, the core version of Guild Wars 2 is now, as ArenaNet puts it, Play for Free. That's the good kind of free that really means free, not the kind of free that involves microtransactions for everything from equipping weapons to in-game sneezing. You can download the client and start playing the core version of Guild Wars 2 right away. Or tomorrow, or whenever you feel like it, really. It's free, baby!
Nostalgia is big business. And honestly, I don't mind. A lot of indie studios are forging new territory by jumping back a few decades in their game design aesthetics, creating throwback titles that tug at the heartstrings by reminding us of the days of old. PolyKid's 3D platformer Poi is just such a game.
Local co-op is great. You get to sit down with friends, play some lag-free games, and save your best curses for online co-op. The catch is that you have to haul everybody over to your place to get said gaming sessions going. Worse still, you usually have to put on pants for those sessions, and that's just not right. Good thing Nvidia is working on something that might fix that limitation.
Fairy Tales are full of archetypes, from the beautiful princess to the ghastly ogre. Many of stories also have a Prince Charming, but not many of them are as violent as Sterling from Fable Legends. This is one handsome chap who is as likely to stab you, as he is to kiss you.
The new launch trailer for the upcoming DLC for Destiny titled The Taken King has been released and it looks glorious. Said to be the biggest expansion to date for Bungie's hit first person online shooter, fans could only sit back and watch the greatness unfold.
Insane twin-stick shooter Assault Android Cactus finally has a release date on PC. Developer Witch Beam revealed a new trailer for the 4 player co-op game with a release date of September 23rd.
