  • Here’s the first video (I’ll stick three more at the bottom of this post—the fifth and final video is set to go live some time today). “Part 2 incorporates a remastered Vault 18 [the new vault created for the mod] with all new level designs and new voices for several characters,” the update post explains. Because your playthrough has multiple narrative arcs, your story may go a little different than this one. It’s been a four-year wait for Part 2, but it seems like a release is on the way fairly

  • It’s no surprise that, with a name like Gunrunning, you’ll be living the life of an arms dealer in GTA Online’s next update. Rockstar Games has released new details in a blog post on some of the things you’ll be able to play around with in the upcoming update, including a Mobile Operations Center and weaponized vehicles. However, you’ll be able to take those operations on the go if you spend the cash on a Mobile Operations Center. It sounds like you’ll be able to customize it to create a mobile

  • Up-Armored Edition includes a brand new campaign that Stellar Jockeys tells us was designed to better ease players into the game and introduce them to the almost-cyberpunk world. Brigador will be discounted for the next week, allowing players to pick up the base game for $14 USD, down from the regular price of $20. The Deluxe edition has been discounted to $18 USD (regular price: $30), while you can pick up the entire Brigador audiobook and soundtrack for $5 USD (regular price: $10). If you alre

  • The free Rise of the Horde update brings a bunch of new content to Horde mode, including 15 skills, Loot drops, and difficulty levels, in addition to some new multiplayer maps and 20 new achievements. Speaking of difficulties, the update adds two new difficulty levels—Inconceivable and Ironman—to both the campaign and Horde mode. Two classic multiplayer maps, Gears of War 2’s Avalanche and Gears of War 3’s Rustlung, are also on their way. The update arrives a couple days before Gears of War 4’s

  • Science fiction immersive sim sequel Consortium: The Tower was already a game to watch. However, after seeing the latest video, I think it’s a game to watch with both eyes wide open, and with no blinking. In the video, iDGi CEO Gregory MacMartin shows off some new game footage, including the skydive onto, and into, the tower itself, and a genuinely hilarious encounter with an NPC. MacMartin also explains how far development is along, in both the video and in this Fig update post. “After a year o

  • A few weeks back, Dan Hay, Far Cry 5 creative director stared down a group of writers and talked in a low, booming voice about Montana and Far Cry for 30 minutes. Far Cry 5 has so far nailed the look of big sky country, but the characters are all cartoon caricatures of rural folk. For example, it seems doubtful that Far Cry 5 will include members of the nearby tribal nations. Far Cry 5 has so far only looked inside that bubble from the outside, peering in to see the blurred silhouettes of pick-u

  • Here’s a double-hit of news for SpellForce, the RTS-RPG mashup series that will soon release its third installment. Firstly, the release date for SpellForce 3 has been announced, with the freshly printed Steam page revealing that the game will be with us on December 7. There are also some lovely, seemingly fairly new screenshots on there, and a 10% pre-order discount, for this prequel set before the original game. If you want to get up to speed with the series before then, SpellForce 2 is having

  • Some people could argue that the lizardmen, who ride larger lizards into battle, live on the sillier end of the Warhammer spectrum. The story is a letdown—full of vaguely profound Taoist quotes—but Bokida offers a stark and striking world that’s worth experiencing. So, I’ve been playing a little and compared to all of the other CCGs I’ve played (none) it’s pretty fun! I played Sonic Mania at the PC Gamer Weekender in February and really enjoyed it. If you’re feeling frustrated, bogged down, or b

  • The Elder Scrolls Online: MorrowindRelease date: June 6, 2017 | Link: Official siteIt’s not the official Morrowind remake that many crave and probably won’t happen, but it’s close enough. “You may be an apprentice now, but to save your master, you will need to explore ten deadly dungeons, decipher mind-bending puzzles, avoid terrifying traps, and vanquish hordes of vicious monsters,” reads the game’s official description.

  • Gears of War 4 has been out for awhile now, and so the safe assumption is that if you haven’t bought it by now, you’re probably not going to—not without some incentive, anyway. Such as, perhaps, the opportunity to play it for up to ten hours during the free trial period that begins next week. The announcement of the trial implies that while the free play period will run for the full week, the demo actually has to be downloaded over the June 9-11 weekend. I’ve reached out to Microsoft to clarify

  • Update: Well, Kripp finally pressed the button, and 660,620 dust later with over 60k viewers watching…nothing happened. At midnight EDT tonight, Hearthstone streamer (and Arena king) Octavian “Kripparrian” Morosan will “hit the button,” disenchanting any extra copies of cards he has all at once—an act game director Ben Brode said at one point “would have brought down Hearthstone.” Blizzard did however have the following message for Kripp:”The Hearthstone team want to congratulate Kripparrian o

  • We’ve got an exclusive first look at a new trailer from Dauntless, the PvE action game I previously described as “the PC Monster Hunter we’ve all been waiting for.” While we’ve seen Dauntless’ combat in action already, this trailer gives a brief look at some of its other features, including armor crafting, the hub city of Ramsgate, and a new snowy owlbear behemoth named Skraev. Although there aren’t many hard details, the video gives a general overview of what progression in Dauntless may look l

  • Devolver Digital, the publisher behind games including Genital Jousting, Strafe, and the upcoming Ape Out, said in May that its annual parking lot display at this year’s E3 would include a showcase of “artisanal indie games [and] music” called the Indie Picnic. Befitting the name, the area would also feature food, “cold beverages,” and even some carnival games. So it’s a real shame that Devolver has been forced to pull the plug on the whole thing. Regretfully, the man isn’t going to allow us to

  • Blizzard has revealed that the next Hero to join the Heroes of the Storm Nexus will be Diablo 3 villain Mathael, once the Aspect of Wisdom, who abandoned Heaven to become the Aspect of Death when the Worldstone was destroyed. Mathael’s Hero trait, Reaper’s Mark, causes any non-structure target hit by his basic attacks to be “marked” for four seconds, during which time they will be revealed and suffer 2.5 percent of their maximum health in damage. Furthermore, each enemy killed while under the ef

  • Deathwing was Hearthstone’s original Hail Mary card. When you slam the leader of the black dragonflight on the board he destroys every minion in play and discards all the remaining cards in your hand. Deathwing has been around since the days of vanilla Hearthstone, and the card’s original animation used the same generic fiery effect employed for cards like Wild Pyromancer and Doomsayer. Hearthstone FX artist Hadidjah Chamberlin posted to explain her process and note that these are the only cards
    Hearthstone's Deathwing finally gets the animation it deserves

  • I really like The Long Journey Home. Ships and equipment won’t wear out so quickly, planetary orbit will be easier to achieve, and the non-human population of the galaxy won’t be quite so dickish when you meet them. Story mode will still present a challenge, but “one that is easier to get into,” Daedalic said on Steam. “With these changes, the Daedalus-7 crew will now be freer to explore and savor the galaxy during their Long Journey Home, instead of having to focus constantly on survival.” The

  • The legendary arcade quarter-eater Tekken has come to PC for the first time with Tekken 7, which is out on Steam as of yesterday. I was pleased to see Tekken 7 running at 60 fps (which it’s locked to) at 1920×1080 on Ultra settings on my GTX 970. But let’s be real: if you’re bringing a keyboard to a Tekken fight, you’re not really taking this thing seriously. In terms of time from start of matchmaking to the first punch thrown, Tekken clocks in around the same as Rocket League. Look for PC Gamer
    Tekken 7 runs great on PC, and online matchmaking has been excellent so far

  • For the most part, the desktop PC has been the exclusive domain of Intel and AMD. That could change with Microsoft’s renewed attempt to make Windows on ARM a reality, and Qualcomm is lining up PC makers to inject its ARM-based Snapdragon 835 processor into Windows 10 devices. Qualcomm’s selling point is that these devices will mesh the best parts of mobile with the capabilities of the Windows 10 ecosystem. Asus, HP, and Lenovo have all committed to releasing sleek and fanless Windows 10 devices

  • Life is Strange developer Dontnod revealed last month that it has been working on a new game in the series since the release of the boxed edition in early 2016. But as reported by Kotaku, it looks like another Life is Strange game may be on the way as well—a prequel, actually, being developed by newly-renamed studio Deck Nine Games. What really brought the rumor to life, though, was the discovery of some Life is Strange-related images on the new Deck Nine website, including one bearing the Life

  • There’s plenty of action from the League of Legends LCS to the CS:GO ESL Pro League. League of Legends: NA LCSThe NA LCS Summer season will be kicking off with a highly anticipated showdown between Cloud9 and Counter Logic Gaming. Only three teams from each group will advance to the playoff stage, so it expected to be a tense weekend for those participating.
