Black Mirror—a re-imagining of Future Games’ 2004 gothic-horror adventure series—is now available. The remake honours the original game’s point-and-click roots, focusing on “close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.” It also promises to retain its “unique atmosphere of madness and psychological distress” as Gordon visits to his ancestral home in the 1920s, intent on discovering if he too will “follow in his father’s foot

The FTC has finalized its settlement with Trevor “TmarTn” Martin and Tom “ProSyndicate” Cassell, the streamers who used their YouTube channels and other platforms to enthusiastically promote the skin gambling site CSGO Lotto without any indication that they happened to own 42.5% of CSGO Lotto. (CSGO Lotto).” “The items that were being traded on CSGO Lotto had real money value, and these two were pocketing millions from rigging a system that they owned.” “I believe this deliberate action deserves

THE HIGHSEvan Lahti: Just for kickflipsHoly smokes, we’re getting a legitimate skateboarding game on PC , something we’ve been clamoring for for years. Session joins rollerblader On a Roll , which hit Early Access at the end of August, as two promising, authentic-looking indie extreme sports games on PC. It’s an amazing place where you lie horizontally on a couch with a control pad and play damn fine PC games. In the Sideways I’ve been playing Divinity: Original Sin 2, which has excellent contro

I’ve just stepped into a bear trap. It was my own bear trap, and I did it on purpose, specifically because the item description of the bear trap warns you not to step into your own bear trap. I spent all my money on bear traps and beans. I’m not sure why a horse stepping into a bear trap would kill the rider, but it makes me laugh, and then makes me feel guilty. And, I have to say, a Wild West Online has seemingly pleasant community of players so far.

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition is currently $10 on GOG thanks to a 50 percent discount.

DayZ first came into being way back in 2009 as a mod for Arma 2, and made its standalone debut in 2013 on Steam Early Access. We tried to get it done sooner, but it’s going to be 2018 folks,” lead producer Eugen Harton wrote in a status report released this week. “Both the beta update and any further 0.63 updates, up to 1.0, will happen in 2018, which is shaping up to be one of the most important years for DayZ. “2018 is going to be an important year for us in the studio, as our long term work f

You play as a feral cat that does things feral cats do, like hunt mice, collect herbs and hunt for treasure. Speaking as someone whose neighborhood is crawling with feral cats, I have to say I’m surprised by the exciting lives they apparently lead. Cattails is out on Steam today, but it began as a passion project for lead developer Tyler Thompson in 2016. As a result of probabilities I cannot fathom, Cattails is actually the second game featuring cat dating to crop up this week. Previously, Joe

Uurnog Uurnlimited should probably remind me of Knytt Underground, another 2D platformer from developer Nifflas’ Games. Not because you can turn into all the things in Uurnog’s wild, colorful world, but because you can collect them all. The safe room is both a blessing and a curse, mind. I’m talking about your precious blocks being destroyed. After all, you’ll always find your safe room exactly as you left it.

It’s been in alpha testing for awhile, and the first round of closed beta testing is set to begin on December 11. To kick things off, the developers are holding a “Vets vs. Threats” event ahead of that, that will pit 100 “popular influencers”—the Vets—against 100 up-and-coming performers—the Threats. The ability to coherently communicate with other players is essential in SOS, so make sure you have a quality mic,” the developers said. The SOS: Vets vs Threats event will run from 1-5 pm PT on Dec

Buyers had to contend with low inventories and inflated price tags, in large part because cryptocurrency mining was exerting its influence on the market. But according AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su, cryptocurrency is not a major driver of GPU sales for the company. “I think the important thing is to really understand what are we all about, and AMD is really about high performance computing,” Su began. While Su downplayed the cryptocurrency market, she does believe there is big potential in blockchain, the

The new system, called Cards Unbound, unlocks all cards in the game—Basic and Legendary—for all players. In Quick Play, decks have no point limit, so players can put together loadouts of up to five level 5 cards. The Cards Unbound system is currently in testing, and Hi-Rez said in a statement that work on the new system is still underway. What is being played on PTS is very much a work in progress, and we will iterate on the Cards Unbound system until we meet the goals above.” Hi-Rez also said,

Cyber Monday is over, but some of the deals that highlighted the online shopping event are still lingering. One of them is a tantalizing discount on Dell’s 27-inch S2716DG monitor. It’s available at that price both directly from Dell (S2716DG) and Best Buy (S2716DGR). For ergonomics, the monitor supports tilt, swivel, pivot, and head adjustments.

Ubisoft has announced that the long-awaited 1.8 update to The Division, which will be free for all players, will be out next week. A hard release date won’t be revealed until December 4, but the publisher shared a quick recap of what’s in store in a new State of the Game update. As such, we are always evolving to best suit the overall balance of the game,” Ubisoft explained. The updated movement system that has been in action on The Division PTS will also go fully live with the 1.8 update. The f

Now, its latest trailer explores its sophisticated AI system and, crucially, how you’ll work around it. Can you beat the AI?, asks publisher Kalypso in a new blog post, before outlining all the considerations you’ll face in doing so. That’s perhaps easier understood in motion:In the face of careful, meticulous human planning (and, of course, error), Railway Empire’s AI can navigate villages, farms, and rival routes without thinking. Have you put the right locomotives on the right routes? Kalypso

With open world games now, this is becoming a more prevalent thing but when I was younger it was awesome. So, yeah, I think music, however it’s used, is pretty awesome and pretty essential. That said, I think in your games, Norwood in particular, much of the detail is left for the player to interpret—is this a conscious decision? It becomes more theirs if they have the space to claim some sort of interpretative ownership of the work and I think that’s good. It’s about giving players hooks to get

Above you can take a look at the trailer for the upcoming PUBG mobile game coming to China from PUBG Corp and Tencent. It’s definitely PUBG, but uh… different. While the trailer is cinematic and shouldn’t be mistaken for actual gameplay, there are ship battles shown—not just the little motor boats we know from PUBG, but larger ones with mounted machine guns and one giant honking naval destroyer. While we sit here waiting for vaulting and climbing (which suddenly feels a bit quaint compared wit

Abandon Ship gave its first ever public demonstration at the PC Gamer Weekender 2017, and has spent the last several months teasing its horrid sea monsters, brutal weather system, and picture frame map structure among other things. Developer Fireblade had originally planned to ship (pun intended) at some point this year, however has now delayed the seafaring strategy game into next year. “I’ve decided to delay the Early Access release of Abandon Ship into ‘early 2018’,” Fireblade’s Gary Burchell
