Supernatural stealth game Aragami arrived in October 2016, telling a tale of an undead assassin with bold fashion sense who’s summoned into existence by a young woman to lay a serious ninja smackdown on the oppressive Kaiho who have conquered her country. It did pretty well for itself on Steam, where it’s currently pushing 300,000 owners (it’s also available on PS4), and yesterday developer Lince Works announced that a new expansion, Aragami: Nightfall, featuring new locations and two new playab

Gaming keyboards, a seemingly small chapter in the grand scheme, are no exception. Razer BlackWidow, 2010Razer’s success can be traced back to two products: The Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse, and the Razer BlackWidow gaming keyboard. Built using Cherry MX Blue switches, it was one of the first mechanical keyboards to fully embrace a gaming feel, while borrowing some simple elements from existing gaming keyboards such as the Windows Key disable function. Since then, the BlackWidow has evolved int

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered will freshen up one of our all-time favorite stealth games later this year, developer Klei Entertainment announced. A standout even among Klei Entertainment’s sterling repertoire, Mark of the Ninja originally released in 2012, and while its cartoony art has aged well, Klei reckons it could do with a tune-up. So for the remaster, they’re targeting “fully redone 4K visuals for both gameplay and cutscenes along with enhanced audio and new particle effects.” The remaste

A tunche is a type of malignant spirit said to haunt the Peruvian jungle and signal its attacks with a piercing whistle. Tunche, meanwhile, is a co-op 2D brawler partly inspired by the titular Peruvian legend. But while I was drawn to Tunche’s GDC demo by its unique, refreshing art, it was the combat that really set the hook. I only played a demo build, but I get the feeling dying won’t cost you an ungainly amount of time. Plus, Tunche’s style meter makes it feel like a game where you’ll try to

Silver bars are its premium currency, used to purchase prestige items like guns, vehicles, skins, and outfits. You’ll find the safe with silver bars inside.

Spec Ops: The Line is a hell of a game. On the surface it’s a conventional third-person military shooter, but it goes places and does things that you don’t very often run into in videogames. Except to say that it is currently free on the Humble Store. However that works out for you, you’ve got until 10 am PT/1 pm ET on March 31 to grab it. Don’t forget while you’re there that the Indie Mega Week Sale, with up to 75 percent off all kinds of indie games, is also still rolling.

We included God Eater 3 in our January rundown of the RPGs of 2018, even though at the time it had only been announced for “home consoles.” The God Eater games are kind of a story-focused twist on Monster Hunter. God Easter Resurrection, a remake of God Easter Burst (which was itself a remake of the original God Eater), and God Eater 2 Rage Burst, an overhaul of God Eater 2, are both available on Steam. There are new God Eaters as well, who are stronger and more resistant to the deadly Ashlands

Kill enough zombies, collect enough samples, and it’s just one final race to the hilltop, assuming someone isn’t waiting for you at the finish line. It might have brevity on its side, I do worry about Bad Blood’s focus on collecting blood samples from the larger, more specialized zombies. A few more whacks and the putrid thing is down, dropping a few hundred blood samples. Still, I can’t dismiss the moments when Bad Blood delivers fun, fluid first-person movement. In Bad Blood, because the actio

Remember PC Building Simulator? It’s still a work in progress, but has graduated to Steam Early Access and, from what we can discern from the trailer video and screenshots, is much more polished than the last time we looked at it. The idea behind PC Building Simulator is to “build and grow your very own computer repair enterprise,” learning how to diagnose, fix, and assemble systems in the process. That’s probably where PC Building Simulator is best served, though it’s not the only use-case scen

There is no doubt that both AMD and Nvidia are benefiting from the explosive growth in cryptocurrency mining. Even so, however, AMD issued a statement downplaying how much of its business is affected by mining. “Yesterday a report was published on AMD which hypothesized very high revenue for Ethereum-related GPU sales. Currently you can effectively mine Ethereum with off-the-shelf graphics cards, just as was once feasible for Bitcoin. In his note, Roland said he estimates that Ethereum mining ac

More recently, Myerson supervised the launched of Windows 10, which represented a major transition for the Windows ecosystem. “With change comes transition, and one transition we have been planning for is for Terry Myerson to pursue his next chapter outside Microsoft,” Nadella added. Through good times and bad, I’ve loved your feedback. I’ve loved your applause when we’ve done great work and I’ve loved the push to do better,” Myerson said. What this ultimately means for Microsoft and Windows rem

Besides the return of blue passports, what does the post-Brexit world hold for the United Kingdom? PanicBarn’s Not Tonight portrays an an alternate Britain bursting with pixel art, satire plus RPG and management sim mechanics. Warning: The following trailer contains Nigel Farage:Not Tonight is set in a Britain where Brexit talks have collapsed and a far-right government is in charge, so says publisher No More Robots. It all sounds pretty grim, set in a world that echoes Biff Tannen’s alternate 1

The Overwatch Uprising brawl will return on April 10, Blizzard announced today, taking players back to “a pivotal moment in Overwatch history” when the team fought against rampaging Omnics in the city of London. The King’s Row Uprising took place seven years before present-day Overwatch, when an extremist group of Omnics calling itself Null Sector launched an insurgency in an upscale neighborhood of London. We opined shortly after it went live that Uprising was “the best case for an Overwatch ca

Between us, we have a few hundred hours of GTA Online under our belts. Alternatively, I’d love an even more involved version of GTA Online’s heists—an entire co-op campaign that lasts for many hours. Even better if that was somehow fed into the singleplayer story itself—similar to how certain NPC-assigned GTA Online missions require multiple players. Wilder vehicles, weapons and objectivesSamuel: The highlight of The Doomsday Heist in GTA Online for me—and perhaps the greatest GTA mission of all

Larian’s founder Swen Vincke never stops moving towards the next RPG on the horizon. We convinced him to sit still for a few minutes and talk about the success of Divinity: Original Sin 2 and what went right and wrong during development. We also talked about the problem of crunch in game development and how to avoid it, and the loads of RPGs coming out in 2018.

In a break from the regular format, Samuel and Phil have both played new, recently released PC games. Sam goes head to head with an unspecified cult in Far Cry 5, Phil chunders on a friend in Sea of Thieves, and both have a rant about why, yes, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is very difficult thank you very much.

“When exactly can I play with raptors, T-Rex and stagosauri in a Frontier-made theme park construction and business simulator?” is a question I asked when Jurassic World Evolution was revealed last year. Jurassic World Evolution is due June 12, 2018. “The cool thing about having multiple islands is that they have different characteristics and will throw different challenges at you. The films have repeatedly shown us that dinos don’t mix well with humans—therefore I’m most interested to see how J

Epic Games had just closed the book on Gears of War 3, thus wrapping up the most profitable and culturally resonant boom period of the company. We’ll probably never know what exactly happened in the interim years before Fortnite’s release date, but, well, it doesn’t seem particularly happy. Spring, 2014: Fortnite re-debuts on the cover of Game InformerThe thing about Fortnite is that despite its protracted development cycle, the buzz surrounding the game had always been positive. “We love Battle

You might otherwise recognise his voice from the Grand Theft Auto 5 talk radio show Chakra Attack. J.B. Smoove J.B. is best known for his role as Leon Black in Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. He provides the voice of Dr Ray De Angelo Harris in GTA 5’s Chakra Attack radio show, which features on the game’s West Coast Talk Radio station. I think Leon would love videogames. I think Larry would get caught up in it and he’d be addicted to it.
