Shaquille O’Neal launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for the beatdown brawler Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn in 2014, and for some reason it was successful. A teaser was released in late 2015 to reassure us that it wasn’t a joke, and now—believe it or not—we’ve got a release date of June 5. This revelation arrives accompanied by a new trailer that tells the tale of a young lad from the village of Hung Lo and his quest to defeat the wicked Yen-Lo Wang. It turns out that a number of the world’s

Its main villain is a cybernetic cow and its protagonist is a young girl with hair like blue taffy, yet Apocalypse Cow bills itself as a “cinematic” game. Don’t let the cute names fool you, Apocalypse Cow is fundamentally about killing dudes as bloodily as possible. But Apocalypse Cow is held up by Penny’s ability to slow down time. It’s represented in orbs, and each orb is worth a few seconds of slowed time or a bit of health. Outside of combat, Apocalypse Cow is good, stupid fun.

Crusader Kings 2 is a medieval grand strategy game that has players vying to establish and expand their kingdoms across multiple generations during a time of great political and military strife. But for the next 48 hours it’s free on Steam, and if you grab it during the giveaway it’s yours to keep forever. To get it, just click the “Install Game” button, which will register CK2 to your account and begin the install. And if that (and the fact that it’s free) doesn’t convince you, consider this:As

We liked arena FPS LawBreakers quite a bit, but Boss Key’s airborne FPS failed to take off. After months of languishing, Boss Key Productions has acknowledged in a new statement that the game is not sustainable in its current state. Fortunately that doesn’t mean it’s giving up on it, nor does it spell the end of the studio, which is now working on a new “passion project.” We have been working on something new and we can’t wait to share more about it! pic.twitter.com/EaOM0YvQfJMarch 17, 2018Boss

If you’re looking to build a small form factor PC, you can score a really nice deal on NZXT’s H400i, a micro ATX case that is on sale at Newegg for $130. Using coupon code APRILNZXT will knock 10 percent off the cost, and there’s also a $30 mail-in-rebate available. The H400i is a smaller version of the H700i, which we chose as the case of the year in 2017. Designed for compact builds, it measures 16.42 x 8.27 x 16.57 inches (HxWxD) and weighs 16.67 pounds (before adding hardware). Just note tha

Western Digital is challenging Samsung at the high-end of the NVMe solid state drive spectrum with a new line of performance drives at comparatively attractive price points. And being NVMe drives, they shuttle data through the PCIe bus, allowing for much faster speeds compared to SATA. Nevertheless, WD’s pricing is pretty attractive for this level of performance, especially compared to the 960 Pro. For reference, Samsung’s 960 Pro 512GB sells for $328 an the 1TB for $615 (there’s also a 2TB mode

Compounding the issue is that many senior security managers feel it is difficult to attract the kind of talent needed to deal with emerging threats. The solution might be to focus on gamers, according to a new report by McAfee. McAfee surveyed 300 senior security managers and 650 security professionals as part of its report. Those skills include logic, perseverance, an understanding of how to approach adversaries, and a fresh outlook compared to traditional cybersecurity hires. This is supported

I mean, just ask Fraser who, in his 80-scoring review of the strategy management sim, praised Surviving Mars’ compelling nature despite having to work hard for his success. Sorry Fraser, but it appears Surviving Mars’ latest update adds more work still. Like Fraser:Between the dust, meteors and tornados, carving out a life on Mars is a lot of work. Even once you’ve got some automation set up, however, it still feels like disaster is nipping at your heels. It’s a battle between humans and nature,

War Fervour first appeared in Total War: Attila’s Age of Charlemagne expansion but has been refined for Thrones of Britannia. “I really wanted to try a Total War without recruitment buildings,” says Lusted. I like the way Thrones simulates some of the slog and attrition of drawn out wars, even while keeping the battles exciting. Sometimes in a Total War campaign one province or settlement becomes the battleground of an all-or-nothing stand on which the success of your campaign turns. What could

Had my misadventures taken place within PUBG’s latest shotguns and melee-only custom mode, things might’ve been different. Tequila Sunrise invades battlegrounds later today. Exclusive to third-person perspective Squad matches within the battle royale ’em up’s sandswept Miramar map, Tequila Sunrise runs for just 72 hours—from 7pm today PDT/3am BST tomorrow. Between moving house in real life and saving for a weaponised Delorean-esque Deluxo in GTA Online, I missed PUBG’s flare-focused custom mode

World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Battle for Azeroth, will launch on August 14 game director Ion Hazzikostas revealed during a preview event held earlier this week at Blizzard’s California HQ. First revealed last year at Blizzcon 2017 , Battle for Azeroth will let players set sail for the islands of Kul’Tiras and Zandalar. If you’ve been following World of Warcraft these past years (and why shouldn’t you, it’s never been better ), Battle for Azeroth follows the defeat of the Burning Legion. Un

When shopping for horror games, there are a number of things to consider. Does the game in question operate a first or third-person perspective? It’s one of the most bizarre ending sequences I’ve witnessed, tapping into a fear I’ve known since my first week at Sunday school. Humble’s Outlast 2 sale runs now through tomorrow, April 6 at 10am PST/6pm BST. For extra reading, here’s what horror game creators think about jump scares.

Last year, the Overwatch Uprising event delved into Overwatch’s history by giving players a chance to experience Tracer’s first mission: the King’s Row Uprising. This year, the event—now officially named Overwatch Archives—returns with a new PvE mission: Retribution. Retribution is a Blackwatch mission involving Reaper, Genji, McCree, and Moira that takes place approximately one year before Uprising. The mission takes place in Venice, Italy on a map called Rialto, with the Blackwatch team fighti

Double Kick Heroes is a rhythm game where each level’s a highway that lasts exactly as long as a song. Here’s the thing about rhythm games: the band is rocking out and cool stuff is going on, but to actually keep up you have to stare at button prompts. Double Kick Heroes feels like a step back in that regard. But then I found the real meat of Double Kick Heroes. Double Kick Heroes arrives in Steam Early Access on April 11.

The 13th Doll is a licensed, fan-made followup to The 7th Guest, a creepy FMV adventure about a local nut who gets off on killing kids that was released in 1993. The 13th Doll continues the sad adventures of Tad, the young chap who defeated the evil toymaker Stauf in The 7th Guest. The new game will feature 26 puzzles, new locations, HD FMV sequences, two playable characters with unique plotlines, and five possible endings. The 13th Doll is available for preorder at the13thdoll.com, with Kicksta

The Endless Mission, the new project from Never Alone publisher E-Line Media, was announced last week as a narrative-focused “sandbox-style creation game.” But how will it hold up as an actual game? The debut trailer released today doesn’t completely clarify the situation, but it does make The Endless Mission look very much like a game—or, more precisely, a mashup of different types of games—than a learning tool. The make-your-own-game elements of The Endless Mission really aren’t on display her

Below (and above) we’ve collected the weirdest and wildest moments we’ve seen from Far Cry 5. Far Cry 5 in a NutshellThe above clip has it all. That’s Far Cry 5, and that kind of stuff happens every few minutes. But we’re not all clear, not if Far Cry 5 has something to say about it. Stealth surgeryNot everything in Far Cry 5 involves crazy animals and vehicles that won’t behave.

Games were close, exciting, and unpredictable thanks to a narrowing skill gap among the Overwatch League roster. Overwatch League teams are paying attention to the rising talent in the Overwatch Contenders tournament, too. Obtaining new players and maximizing their utility is just one piece of the puzzle for Overwatch League teams. Kitta was instrumental in getting many Overwatch League pros where they are today, including Danteh, Indy “Space” Halpern, and Scott “Custa” Kennedy. Overwatch League
