So far, Parkasaurus is relatively light (for a park sim) on the financial and managerial duties of park ownership. I had way more fun focusing on where it excels: in the creative tasks of building and cultivating fun exhibits for dinosaurs. Parkasaurus’ 23 dinosaur species each have their own preference for one of the nine available biomes. Unfortunately dino escapes are a danger even in custom games, so I elongate the enclosure more, to maybe twice the length. The privacy view can be toggled to

But they’ve got nothing on my recent bone chilling trip to Liberty City. FiveM’s i luv LC is an in-development map that gives GTA 4’s faux New York City a makeover. It may be ten years old, but GTA 4’s Liberty City is still my favourite game world of the series. But part of me wants to revisit that dysfunctional place, that twisted vision of Liberty City, no matter how much it unsettled me before. Still, it seems i luv LC has a ways to go.

Ubisoft has announced a temporary price drop for all Year 1 operators in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege until March next year. You’ll often see Ubisoft offering free weekends for Rainbow Six Siege, usually accompanied by a discounted price for those thinking of purchasing the game in the same period. Starting today at 11am EST (3pm GMT), the price of Year 1 operators has been reduced from 600 R6 Credits/25,000 Renown to 360 R6 Credits/15,000 Renown. The Year 1 operators are Frost, Buck, Valkyrie

Warner Bros and Io Interactive have released a new trailer for Hitman 2, giving us more detail about the Colombian jungle level that we got a glimpse of a few weeks ago. Unluckily for you, it seems you won’t have time to relax, as it seems Agent 47 has been deployed there to deal with three cartel leaders. Agent 47 also throws a hammer. It’s your usual wholesome Hitman stuff. We heard more about Hitman 2’s creative kills and immersive qualities last month, including Agent 47 killing a man with a

I didn’t notice until this morning, when I saw that 165,000 people were playing it, but hidden object game The Tiny Bang Story is completely free on Steam today. The game is from 2011, and challenges you (gently) to click around its lovely and imaginative environments to find hidden objects and solve puzzles. I’ve played a bit and it’s a soothing and serene way to spend your time. It’ll only be free for a couple more hours—you can grab at until 10 AM Pacific Time today (Tuesday). So click it qui

One of those games is Stranger Things, based on the hugely successful Netflix series, and first announced back in June. We reported yesterday that Netflix still wants a game to go ahead and, in a statement, said that they’d look for “other options.” But it seems we may have a glimpse at how Telltale’s game would have looked, thanks to video clips leaked on Reddit and 4chan. As PCGamesN reports in collecting these leaks, though, there’s no way to verify if these are the real thing or not, so keep

Nvidia has already launched its GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards, both of which are available to purchase (the former more widely available than the latter). The GeForce RTX 2070 will join them in just over three weeks from today, on October 17, the company announced on its Nvidia GeForce Twitter account. The GeForce RTX 2070 will be available on October 17th. It remains to be seen if Nvidia’s hardware partners will adopt both price points initially, or trend toward Founde

If the developer in question is Sean Ainsworth, a designer, writer, and artist on Telltale releases including Tales from the Borderlands, Minecraft: Story Mode, and The Walking Dead, he makes an “alternate ending” to TWD Season One that we have decided is officially canon. The video, brought to our attention by former Telltale designer and director Jake Rodkin, was created during the final days of work on The Walking Dead Season One. “The last week of production on Season 1, it was just me and @

That’s the case today with Newegg hawking a kit of 16GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3000 RAM bundled with a 500GB Samsung 860 Evo solid state drive for $199.99. You’ll need to plug in promo code EMCXPYRU2 at checkout to get that price. The promo code shaves $20 off the already discounted $219.99 price. Purchased separately, these two parts would set you back a combined $257.98, so you’re saving nearly $60 on this deal. Newegg is pairing one of the best SATA SSDs with a nice kit of RAM, at a great

Anthem, BioWare’s game about an enclave of power-armored humans using mysterious alien technology to survive against massive numbers of hostile aliens that is definitely not Destiny, is now in alpha testing. We will have news soon about when you can learn more about Anthem and try it out yourself.” Hudson began the update with some reminiscences about his early days at BioWare, which he joined in 1998, and his time testing Baldur’s Gate multiplayer. Gentle zing about the similarities with Destin

It’s been promised for years, but Microsoft will finally start rolling out mouse and keyboard support for its Xbox One devices next month. Razer will be responsible for officially licensed Xbox mice and keyboards, even though “most wired or wireless USB keyboards and mice” will be supported. “With this new input support at the platform level, developers can now build mouse and keyboard support in their games if and how they choose,” Ronald wrote (emphasis his). “It’s important to note that mouse

It’s cute when animals act like people. Animals, they’re just like us! In Super Animal Royale, which comes to Steam Early Access in October, they’re definitely just like us, fighting to the death until only one remains. And if the idea of woodland animals murdering each other seems distasteful, watch a nature documentary sometime. Super Animal Royale is currently in closed alpha.

In Virginia, a 12-year-old boy named Wes has been fighting a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma. Wes’ doctors recently recommended stopping his cancer treatments, feeling they would do more harm then help. Well, Wes got to play Fallout 76 last week, becoming the first person outside the industry to do so. Matt Grandstaff of Bethesda visited Wes at home with a copy of Fallout 76, along with a prototype of the power armor helmet signed by Todd Howard. Wes has been fighting neuroblastoma sinc

Update: Creative Assembly has released a statement clarifying that spawn rates for female generals have not been changed, and the system is basically working as intended. “As has been said previously: Total War games are historically authentic, not historically accurate,” they wrote. That seemingly inspired a drawn-out user review from a Steam user named Chaos Puppy (with a link to Erick’s screen), who claimed, among other things, that Total War: Rome 2 is “historically inaccurate, like over 50%

Black Desert Online developers Pearl Abyss and Kakao Games, have announced that their Korean MMO is getting a new expansion entitled ‘Drieghan,’ arriving on November 14. Also known as ‘the land of dragons,’ Drieghan is the ancestral home of the dwarves and players will be able to explore this new, mountainous area, including Duvencrune, the dwarven capital. The expansion will introduce new monster areas, including ‘Tshira Ruins,’ ‘Sherekhan’s Grave’, and ‘Blood Wolf Town,’ as well as over 300 ne

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy 15 is collaborating with Tomb Raider and Terra Wars, a spin-off from the mobile RPG, Terra Battle, and currently in development by Mistwalker. This brings players a new questline, new comrades gear, as well as in-game music. The first crossover sees Noctis join Sarah from Terra Wars in a whole new questline. Next up is the collaboration with Tomb Raider, which will let you dress up—well, your character—as Lara Croft with new avatar parts added for use

Rejoice, because there is still no compelling reason to play an FPS developed post-1994: Doom 2 now has a Battle Royale mode. The mod comes courtesy of Retrodex Gaming and supports up to 64 players, alongside eight bots. The map itself draws from first Doom episode, stitching together three levels to form a larger whole. Weapons, ammo and power-ups are spawned at random across the map, and there’s even a shrinking play area ala Fortnite and PUBG. To use the mod you’ll need Zandronum 3.0.

By all appearances, the closure of Telltale Games meant the end of the incomplete The Walking Dead: The Final Season. There was some faint hope among fans that the studio would be able to finish it, but Clementine voice actor Melissa Hutchison and designers Emily Grace Buck and Michael Kirkbride both strongly suggested that it wouldn’t happen. In a tweet released ahead of tomorrow’s launch of TWD: The Final Episode chapter 2, however, Telltale suggested that it might still happen. That’s a long

Geralt looks great in the bathtub, as Finger Lickin’ Geraldo, and—thanks to concept artist Lap Pun Cheung—in anime concept art. The Witcher’s official Twitter account shared the above image today—make sure you press the full-screen button in the top right to see it in detail. He’s also working on his own original art projects, including a series of cyberpunk short stories called Neon Divide. The characters look fantastic, and you’ll see them creep into other bits of his more recent work, too. If

The mass layoffs at Telltale Games have put an end to its collaboration with Netflix on a Stranger Things game—but the streaming giant is exploring “other options” to ensure the project comes to life, it has confirmed. The end of Telltale’s work on a Stranger Things game—a project that was first announced in June—is no surprise, given that it looks like other other ongoing Telltale projects will go unfinished, including The Walking Dead: The Final Season. As for Stranger Things, Netflix said in
