  • Speaking at Gamescom, however, series composer and integral member of Team Silent Akira Yamaoka said he would “love” to see the series revived, and that while he’s currently very happy working alongside Suda 51 at Grasshopper Manufacture, he’s “not against” a Team Silent reformation. “I can’t really say if there will be another Silent Hill or not,” he tells me via a translator. “First of all, I’m happy that fans of the series around the world are still asking us questions about it. I press Yamao

  • There are dozens of ‘me too’ free-to-play MOBAs vying for your attention, and Master X Master looks like any other at first. And then there’s the best part of Master X Master, a surprisingly enjoyable cooperative PvE mode, which elevates an otherwise mediocre lane-pusher into a rewarding, bite-sized action RPG. Completing a PvE level offers several randomized rewards depending on your final rank, including XP and Nodes (MXM’s equippable items). But Master X Master’s PvE mode is the first game I’

  • Job Stauffer, the company’s head of creative communications, even appeared on PC Gamer back in March after losing over 50 pounds playing a VR game. After catching up with Stauffer at Gamescom, he told us what he’d love to see Telltale tackle next: Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror anthology series. “But personally, and this isn’t something that we’re doing, I’ve been a big fan of Black Mirror and Charlie Brooker’s work. When you’re telling different stories, you’re making different movies and diffe

  • Today you can soar across Los Santos with ease in a variety of aircraft, but there was a time in the Grand Theft Auto series when flying was a luxury. The Dodo, appropriately named after the extinct, flightless bird, is the only way to take to the air in Grand Theft Auto III—a task made difficult by its clipped wings and stubborn flight controls. “We built these few streets floating in space and assumed no one would ever find them.”After the September 11 terror attacks in New York City, some con

  • There’s a whole range of hardware on offer in Newegg’s Back to College sale, but there’s a big focus on storage devices.

  • After landing on Steam back in May, Austin Wood thereafter described Black Desert Online as “not a great MMO” but a “great sandbox RPG”. Those interested are encouraged to “stand back to back” with comrades in order to protect the Sealed Tower from hostile enemy forces. This will enable groups to rake up, even more points which in turn gives players access to devastating weaponry. Should that tickle your fancy, Savage Rift arrives in Black Desert online tomorrow, August 30. Kakao also plans to h

  • Following the publication of ex-Valve writer Marc Laidlaw’s Episode 3 synopsis last week, speculation has taken hold of certain facets of the Half-Life community. Despite intrigue many questions remain unanswered, which has in turn prompted Lever Softworks to speed up the release schedule of its Half-Life 2: Aftermath mod—a mod designed to piece together the absent and elusive third chapter of Gordon Freeman’s adventure. “In light of recent events in the Half-Life community, the release schedule

  • South Park: The Fractured But Whole – an RPG about a group of children roleplaying superheroes – has passed through the Australian Classification Board’s ruthless vetting process unscathed. The news comes via Ubisoft itself in a press release, which confirms the game will get an R18+ rating. They seem pretty proud of the news. The reason it’s news at all is because the first Obsidian South Park RPG – The Stick of Truth – was heavily modified in Australia due to a scene involving an alien butt pr

  • Spreading Plague Spreading Plague helps Druid deal with one of its biggest weaknesses: decks that develop a wide board of many small minions. You knew as soon as you clicked on this article that we would be talking about Ultimate Infestation. Ultimate Infestation If Hearthstone had Legendary spells, Ultimate Infestation could easily be one of them. While I have no evidence that this is the case with Ultimate Infestation, it certainly feels that way. “Basically there’s no way that the metagame so

  • I’m a fairly casual fan of Egosoft’s X series of space simulators. I really enjoyed exploring the great void of space in X2: The Threat and the various X3 games, but I never came close to finishing any of them. Like its predecessors, X4 will be an outer-space sandbox game, enabling players to take the controls of ships ranging from single-seat fighters to massive freighters and capital ships. X4 promises “a much more dynamic universe,” as Egosoft’s Owen Lake says in the announcement video. A fre

  • Most patch notes are boring. And then there are patch notes like this: “Added cat butchery.” Those are the kinds of wonderfully crazy patch notes Dwarf Fortress has given us over the years . Determined to top the absurdity of Dwarf Fortress’s bizarre changelogs, I put on my deerstalker, grabbed my magnifying glass, and set out to find the strangest patch notes in the history of PC gaming. —The Sims 402/04/2016Sims carving pumpkins or working at a woodworking table will no longer ignore Sims wh

  • Back to War of the Chosen itself, Weinhoffer said Firaxis has “buffed a bunch of the late-game ADVENT enemies” in order to maintain War of the Chosen’s late-game challenge, and warned that “if the Chosen survive that long they become VERY tough.” A point I thought was particularly interesting came in Solomon’s response to a question about playing as the aliens in some future XCOM game. “Here’s the thing I’ve never been able to get over when thinking about ‘Playing as the aliens.’ Interestingly,

  • The original Destiny was never released for the PC, which means that there are likely a fair number of potential Destiny 2 players on the platform who may not have a very clear idea of what it’s all about. And the new “What is Destiny 2?” trailer released today certainly doesn’t fill in any of the gaps in the lore—Why is Nathan Fillion a robot? The short version is that Destiny 2 is an “action-shooter” that supports both solo and multiplayer action, including three-player strikes, six-player rai

  • Larian’s isometric fantasy RPG Divinity: Original Sin 2 is set to come out on September 14, which is now less than three weeks away. With the big day looming, the studio has released a new trailer that shows off combat, conversations, and an impressive array of multiplayer features. Is that confirmation that the final playable race in Original Sin 2 will be the Undead? And in case you’re wondering, we described Divinity: Original Sin 2 as “an impressive sequel to an already impressive game” in o

  • Either way, Newegg has a good deal on a white and black themed mid-tower case from Corsair. The Carbide 500R Arctic White is on sale for $85, down from $140, and around $15 less than what it typically sells for (street pricing). There is also a $25 mail-in-rebate available that drops the tally down to $60. Corsair’s mid-tower case is focused on airflow. And if you prefer to liquid cool, Corsair says this case supports most 240mm dual radiators (15mm spacing).

  • In 2011, THQ released Homefront, a first-person shooter that pits the citizens of America against invading North Korean soldiers. Six years later, it’s time for the Norks to get some payback: As reported by state-run media outlet Arirang-Meari (via NK News), a North Korean developer has released a new game called Hunting Yankee, a “3D amusement” in which you “shoot down American men with a sniper gun.” “The 3D-amusement entertainment program Hunting Yankee is a fighting game of shooting and knoc
