Based on the amount of coverage dedicated to it, you'd think that Minecraft has faded into the ether. Honestly, though, it's because there just isn't much to say about it anymore. It continues on its monolithic path and, based on sales figures, practically everyone in the world has had a chance to play it and determine whether or not it's for them.
It's been a few years since we've checked out a product from Blue Microphones, the Yeti was the last mic we checked out in 2015. Today we've got impressions of an updated version of that mic alongside of their flexible desktop mounted boom called the Compass.
Alright you sun praisers, listen up! The network test for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Dark Souls: Remastered will go live next Friday and Saturday (May 11 and 12, respectively), but there's a catch. If you want to participate, you've gotta go into the PSN and Xbox Stores now to download the test client.
Dauntless, the free-to-play action-RPG with some nods towards Monster Hunter, is set to hit its Open Beta later this month on May 24. Prior to that date when anybody and everybody can get in, developer Phoenix Labs is dropping a major update to the game today, and it's a pretty substantial one. Dubbed "Seeking the Horizon," this update includes an overhaul of some existing systems (like progression and gear), and an expansion upon others (like available quests).
The Crew 2 features a number of different real-world vehicles, ranging from Harley-Davidson motorcycles to Mercedes-Benz cars. In the latest video, Ubisoft shows off the Jaguar motorboats that players can look forward to when the game releases on June 29th, 2018 across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Last month, IronOak Games finally released their tabletop game meets RPG/rogue-lite, For the King. Yesterday, we decided to equip our finest lutes and bows, and dive into this grand co-op adventure.
As the May 22nd release for State of Decay 2 gets closer, developer Undead Labs has held a number of different streams where they answer questions in real time while showing off gameplay of their new title. In the most recent stream (which is now available on YouTube) the developer showed vehicles, covered some of the differences in the maps, and let players see how gameplay programmers go about surviving in the world.

It's a shame that its taken the world's most imaginative toy this long to collaborate with Pixar's most imaginative film. Perhaps not enough to warrant its own chapter in the Big Book of Video Game Crimes, but it might be in the appendices. Thankfully, LEGO: The Incredibles has a new trailer to whet the appetite of superpowered families everywhere.
If you've already taken the plunge into the world of Dark Souls on the PC via the "Prepare to Die Edition," then there's some good news. When Dark Souls: Remastered launches on May 25, you'll be able to buy it at a 50% discount. Not quite as good as a free update, but better than nothing, I suppose.
It looks like the theme (if you can call it that) of varied choices is continuing, as hardly any of the Co-Opticrew are playing the same title over the next couple days. Of course, the allure of slow, dense, hyper-tactical mech warfare was always going to be too much to resist, so the new Battletech title makes the only repeat appearance of the weekend. Good luck to Nick and Locke. May your hulls never dent and your engines remain cool.
Nvizzio's third-person, open-world action/tower-defense title, Eden Rising: Surpemacy, will be hitting Steam Early Access sometime next month.
