You can now check out all the cards contained in Kobolds & Catacombs as a gallery over at Hearthstone’s official Facebook page . The Darkness Perhaps the craziest card revealed on the stream today was The Darkness. You begin each run with a small deck of cards, but add three extras each time you beat a boss. Before today’s stream I hadn’t seen a whole run play out, and the mode looks more fun than I expected. As someone who’s always wanted a more advanced version of the Innkeeper to jam cards wi

Luis Díaz”A Place for the Unwilling was conceived as an adventure game set in a Victorian city,” says narrative designer Luis Díaz. As the game begins, you arrives in a strange city after receiving a suicide letter from a childhood friend. “Great narrative games were already being made, but this one was a huge hit. “How do we make a narrative game where every second matters?” With so much attention to detail and a taste for perfection, has this been a monumental task for such a small team?

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, aka the best Assassin’s Creed game, will be free to download on Uplay next week. Meanwhile, 2007 RTS World in Conflict: Complete Edition is free to download right now on Uplay, and will be until December 11. The game is set in an alternate 1989 during World War 3, and is developed by the studio responsible for The Division, Far Cry 3 and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, among others. And while that’s a very worthy (albeit old) RTS, you can’t go past Black Flag at t

Epic Games found itself dealing with a spot of PR ugliness last week when it came to light that one of the people caught up in its Fortnite cheating lawsuits was a 14-year-old boy. That revelation came alongside a very take-no-guffola reply from the lad’s mother, who claimed among other things that Epic was using her son as a scapegoat—and that releasing his name to the public was in itself illegal. “We did not violate Rule 5.2(a) or Local Civil Rule 17.2 because we did not know when we filed th

Capcom announced during the Mega Man 30th Anniversary Livestream earlier today that Mega Man 11 will be released for the PC (and other platforms, but that’s not really our thing) in late 2018. “The classic series takes a leap forward in visual presentation in Mega Man 11 with a 2.5D design direction introducing beautiful, completely hand-drawn characters and environments,” Capcom said. “A freshly redesigned Mega Man takes on Dr. Wily’s berserk machines, defeating Robot Master bosses and taking t

His name is Angwe, and in 2005 he was World of Warcraft’s ganking god. If you travel to Menethil Harbor today, you’ll find the once-thriving port city half-submerged into the sea. A rare shot of Menethil Harbor before it was partially submerged into the sea. But World of Warcraft’s players were a more docile breed, Angwe says. There is no honorToday, World of Warcraft’s PVP system is much more realized than it was back in 2005.

Tomorrow, players still plugging away at Destiny 2 and looking for an injection of new stuff will be heading to Mercury. At two minutes duration, there’s quite a bit we’ve seen before, but the big talking point is our glimpse of the first raid lair, Eater of Worlds. It’s another six-man endgame challenge set on the giant Leviathan spaceship, albeit featuring new locations, a new boss, and a much shorter time commitment to complete. More experienced Destiny players will also notice a few new exot

Humble Bundle’s holiday ‘Jingle Jam’ bundle, a joint charity effort with the Yogscast, is only going to get better as December goes on, and it’s already got some great games on offer. Humble says the bundle includes $847 worth of games though, which doesn’t sound like a bad deal. Paying $1 or more will also get you 10 percent off a month of Humble Monthly. Q.U.B.E Director’s Cut is a good puzzler as well, and there are still things to be done with Garry’s Mod. For reference, today’s additions we

That price applies to the version with white LED fans. It comes with a pair of 120mm fans installed in the front and a 120mm exhaust fan in the rear. For storage, there are three 3.5-inch drive bays and two 2.5-inch drive bays inside the case. The Spec-04 also gives you reason to bust out your collection of dusty optical discs, as it has two 5.25-inch drive bays. The front I/O is home to two USB 3.0 ports, individual headphone and microphone jacks, a drive LED, and both power and reset buttons.

FSP is back with yet another power supply line, the Hydro GE series, which is available in 450W, 550W, and 650W models. Each unit is fully modular and comes with flat black ribbon cables to help build a clean looking PC. FSP doesn’t mention which model caps it’s using here, only mentioning they’re of the “highest quality.” “For DIY enthusiasts and gamers, Hydro GE series is the first power supply that features changeable logos, three kinds of changeable side stickers you can show your style and

This Friday, December 8, it’s getting another big update with the ‘Sharpen Your Skills’ patch, which seems to make huge improvements to multiple systems. It also introduces piercing damage, one of three new damage types coming in Sharpen Your Skills. By completing region hunts, you can “earn the opportunity to select [specific] behemoths” to chase specific components. Shortly after Sharpen Your Skills releases, the Frostfall winter event will begin, bringing seasonal items and unique challenges.

That doesn’t mean Doom VFR (I assume you know what the F stands for) is bad. It’s more like visiting an interactive Doom exhibit (a good one) at a museum or a riding a Doom theme park ride (a cool one). To be clear, Doom VFR isn’t a direct transfer of Doom into VR, it’s a new episode taking place in the Doom universe and starring someone else. Maybe VFR just felt so different from the real Doom that it came off more like a tour of the Doom universe than a Doom game. It’s Doom VFR, but it’s not r

It’s not clear what exactly led to this point, though it’s quite possible the company focused too much on its physical stores and not enough on its web business. Some companies have had a hard time fully embracing the online sales model after thriving for some time with physical storefronts. Over the years, NCIX expanded by opening several physical stores. However, we do know that NCIX closed all of its retail locations this past July, followed by more locations in BC. This has lead to some stor

Ubisoft said last week that the 1.8 update to The Division would be out sometime this week. Now it’s this week, and Ubisoft says that it will in fact be out tomorrow, and that a free weekend will kick off a couple of days later. The 1.8 update is the biggest free update to The Division yet, with two new modes—a 4v4 Team Deathmatch mode called Skirmish, and a PvE Horde mode called Resistance—a new PvE map expansion called West Side Piers, Rogue 2.0 in the Dark Zone, a new movement system, and mor

The first of the promised changes to the Star Wars Battlefront 2 economy and progression system went live today, marking the “initial steps toward making much larger changes” to the game that EA committed to in November. More long-term fixes for getting more content into the Arcade are also in the works. And finally, Daily Login Crates will cough up more crafting parts than they have previously, which should help accelerate the progression process. “Crafting the Star Cards you want will help mak

Your motherboard probably doesn’t support single 128GB DDR4 memory modules. Be that as it may, Crucial has begun shipping a 128GB DDR4-2666 LDRIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) module for $4,000 a pop. And if you were to fill all 16 slots on a high-end Epyc server motherboard, you would have 2TB of DDR4 RAM. If you’re looking to stick 128GB of RAM in a gaming PC, which we don’t advise, there are kits out there, just no single DIMM solutions. One of the cheapest is a Corsair Vengeance LPX 128GB (8x16GB) DD

Shadowrun Returns, the Kickstarted RPG adaptation of the tabletop game, is the arguable frontrunner at just under $4 at 75 percent off. There’s also Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall, a new campaign which we found to be better than the original. The original Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is $6 at 70 percent off, while the Scrub Abe and Alf’s Escape expansions are $1 each. The original Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus are both $2 at 70 percent off. If you’re still hungry for more adventure games,

Imagine the difficulty of simulating the “narratively interesting” parts of existence , as Dwarf Fortress creator Tarn Adams told me in 2016 he wants to do. Those kinds of realistic conversations are a cornerstone of the latest Dwarf Fortress update, 0.44.01, released in late November. This is a big new feature for Fortress mode, the colony management sim Dwarf Fortress is mostly known for. So what’s next for Dwarf Fortress? When I talked to Adams earlier this year about all things Dwarf Fortres

The towering, naked juggernauts of Attack on Titan 2 are as creepy as they are lethal—which is why relieving them of their limbs looks so satisfying. And if that’s something you fancy, the game’s publisher Koei Tecmo has now announced when we’ll get to do so: March 20, 2018. Here’s that:As we reported last month, Attack on Titan 2 lets players assume control of a number of the manga series’ most recognised stars—such as Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackerman, Miche Zacharias, Nanaba, Gelgar, Ymir, Armin A
