One of the highlights of the annual PAX West convention is the PAX 10, where ten stellar indies games are given a platform to help elevate awareness of their greatness. UFO 50Release date: 2018Platform(s): PC (but probably consoles too)Developer: MossmouthDo you remember those bootleg multi-game cartridges they used to make for old consoles like the NES? It felt like an authentically weird NES game plus a few welcome decades of video game design sensibility. It’s serving up that same, slowly bui

Although EA Games hasn’t officially announced Dragon Age 4, it’s nice to know that it’s coming. If that doesn’t sound like an awesome place to set Dragon Age 4, I don’t know what does. More control of how the story flowsFrom talking to fellow Dragon Age fans and reading online forums, it’s clear that there’s a demand for gamers to have more control over their destiny in Dragon Age 4. Like in Mass Effect, early Dragon Age games indicate that your choices make a difference to the game’s story. Dra

Wind River is the name of a Native American reservation in the Wyoming wilds. In these sub-zero temperatures, flesh blackens with frostbite in minutes, and hunter Cory Lambert (Jeremy Renner) dresses like a stormtrooper on Hoth. The FBI agent assigned to the case, meanwhile, is the tough but painfully underprepared Jane Banner (Elizabeth Olsen), channelling a touch of Clarice Starling. “The body’s five miles on a snowmobile,” Lambert tells her. Director: Taylor Sheridan; Starring: Jeremy Renner,

The end of Twin Peaks: The Return. This being, whatever it is, seems to be the root of all evil in the Twin Peaks universe—described in The Secret History of Twin Peaks as “the mother of abominations”—although the series ends before we get any more details about it. This was likely a premonition, which led to Lucy shooting Evil Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) before he could kill Frank Truman (Robert Forster). And this is when the final episode of Twin Peaks season 3 gets really, really weird. But ques

Xbox One keyboard and mouse support is still on the way according to Mike Ybarra, corporate vice president of Xbox and Windows gaming. Speaking at this year’s PAX West, Ybarra reiterated that “keyboard and mouse support is defintely coming.” Mouse and Keyboard are still coming… pic.twitter.com/jbzcQvAsySSeptember 2, 2017″A lot of people tweet me and say ‘you can’t do this’ because of fairness,” Ybarra admits. When we bring keyboard and mouse we’ll coach developers and say ‘look you’ve got to t

Here we are in 2017, publishers are still exploring new ways to charge more for their games. Such stand-out expansions might unfairly raise expectations for future DLC content to follow, but ‘poor’ content is still an issue. EA hasn’t officially released the development cost of the sequel, but the first Titanfall game’s cost was estimated to be £50 to £100 million . Though it’s perhaps also notable that without the financial safety net of a high-cost season pass, Battlefront 2 will retail for £5

It might just be nothing but maybe, just maybe, it’s a big ol’ tease for what The First Order has in store for Luke, Leia, and company in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. As you can see below, the leader of the First Order has a peculiar piece of jewellery, a ring with a black rock, on his left hand. For the uninitiated, Kyber crystals – first properly introduced on the big-screen in Star Wars: Rogue One – are essentially the building blocks for lightsabers. The darksaber has been floating around in St

Disney and Lucasfilm really have really spared no expense for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Artist Brian Rood was given the nod (via ComicBook.com) to craft watercolour portraits of Luke, Leia, Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, and Poe. Because it’s not Star Wars without someone staring at a lightsaber. Rey looks to be taking the training wheels off on Ahch-To and getting firmly to grips with swinging her weapon of choice. The Sith Lord, complete with battle-wounds from Star Wars: The Force Awakens – whisper it

Biomutant is a post-apocalypse of the grotesquely cute kind, coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2018. Another power let her instantly grow giant, springy mushrooms in front of her, good for both setting up aerial attacks and leaping into otherwise inaccessible areas. Once the tutorial ends, the world of Biomutant opens up and you’re free to travel around as you like. Or you might decide that this gooey new world is beyond saving, and that it’s your gerbil’s (?) Did I mention that you mark your t

Final Fantasy 15 ‘s VR experience feels as eclectic (in a good way) as the main game that spawned it. With the headset on your noggin and two Move controllers in your hands, you too can have the immersive experience of a relaxing Final Fantasy fishing trip – that suddenly turns terrifying. Having accepted your ‘Mission of the Deep’, you make your way to a tropical clearing, where everyone’s favorite pretty boy Prompto cheerily greets you. …the Monster will lunge at you with its glowing red eye

Once you get a Nintendo Switch, you kind of don’t want to play games on anything else. Out of the 20 upcoming Nintendo Switch games at the showcase, these seven definitely deserve a spot near the top of your eShop wishlist. I’d personally take Super Meat Boy Forever’s speed, simplicity, and sawblade obsession over Super Mario Run any day of the week. Now Wargroove is looking to do the same on Nintendo Switch with knights instead of tanks. Check out our list of the best Nintendo Switch games you

DB: We’ve definitely ended up utilising our internal development team more than we anticipated. Ian Pickles (IP): The ability to utilise our own development team across internal and games label titles is a real boon to us and something that sets the games label apart from traditional publishers. Our development staff support all of our titles where we can provide assistance, and games label titles really feel part of the ‘family’ because of this. We ensured that when we announced the games label

This is exactly the same problem that sequels have, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. The first Guardians of the Galaxy was an unlikely hit – a joyously anarchic space opera involving a talking raccoon and a walking tree. It was proof that Marvel was on to a winner picking leftfield talents (here, Troma veteran James Gunn) and letting them remould the superhero movie to fit their tastes. In a year when rival superhero studios have found their mojo with Logan and Wonder Woman, Marvel suddenly look

That’s the mentality driving Games Done Quick, a speedrunning showcase that routinely raises millions for charities twice a year. With the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas this August, the team has pulled together a special online event running September 1-3. GDQ regularly works with Doctors Without Borders as its beneficiary, but the donations collected this weekend for Harvey Relief Done Quick will all go to the Houston Food Bank. This isn’t the first time Games Done Quick has m

Like a zombie ripping the brains and entrails from its next victim, Dead Rising 4 is being torn away from Xbox One exclusivity and coming to PS4. Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package brings the base game, plus all DLC and an all-new mode to Sony’s console on December 5 for $49.99. It lets you don even more costumes, as well as use special powers unique to the Capcom characters those costumes are based on. If you missed it the first time around, just know that Dead Rising 4 breaks away from many of

In a new behind-the-scenes post on Making Game of Thrones, several actors shared what shocked them and where they hope season 8 will lead. First up is Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran Stark, AKA The Three-Eyed Raven, AKA He Who Might Be Too Powerful For Plot Logistics. Speaking of Bran, he seems to have found himself a new buddy in Samwell, played by John Bradley. Another great partnership worth highlighting is that between Tyrion Lannister and sellsword Bronn. After seeing an ice dragon t

When does the first Destiny 2 Raid go live? When does the first Destiny 2 Trials of the Nine go live? Prove yourself as a particularly tough cookie in Destiny 2’s PvP modes and you’ll be able to participate in the Trials, earning yourself rare rewards. When does the first Destiny 2 Nightfall go live? There is no standard matchmaking available for the Nightfall, so just like a Raid, you’ll need to form your own team.

Here is it: Dark Souls is famous for being hard. We’re basking in their glory, as you can’t really deny the majesty of someone thrashing Dark Souls with a banana. Read on for the most ridiculous things we could find that people have wired up to any of Dark Souls’ games and got gud with!

A time of hacky sacks, yo-yos, and video game console controllers made of semi-transparent plastic so you could see the mechanical bits inside. Well Sony is bringing back at least one of those things thanks to the new Crystal collection of DualShock 4 gamepads coming October 17. The white version is exclusive to GameStop, the red version is exclusive to Best Buy, and the blue version is exclusive to Walmart. Personally I think it should’ve gone white to Walmart, red to GameStop, and blue to Best

OPM: You’re clearly underselling your role, but how do you design a look that conveys Destiny 2’s themes of loss and recovery? MZ: [This one] came straight out of the brain of Jesse van Dijk, our world art director. That was an obvious one to do, but it was like, “It’s a sequel, let’s push things a little bit, let’s generate conversation”. MZ: We’re sort of leaving the original Destiny, there’s a lot of content there and there’s a lot of universe building that was done, and Destiny 2 is definite
