Hearthstone is taking a trip to the Shadowlands for a fancy dinner party hosted by the definitely-not-nefarious Sire Denathrius. “Hosted” is appropriate in the past tense because someone has murdered the now-former leader of Revendreath and the Venthyr. Now there’s a soiree full of suspects and locations to investigate to find out who did the dirty deed

Back in the depths of February, we began our search for a section editor to take on our growing reviews section and bring their expert editing skills to every part of the site. Today, at long last, I’m happy to say we’ve found that person, and we’ve also given them the proper job title they

Space Bob vs. The Replicons is an ambitious 2D game about flying your spaceship onto a procedurally generated planet surface, gathering resources and tethering them to your ship, then blasting back into orbit to explore more of outerspace. There’s a new trailer for it below, but it’s not a new game. Space Bob launched in

With its approachable gameplay and chess-like complexity, Into the Breach has been an incredible strategy option for PC and Switch owners. With its upcoming Advanced Edition expansion, new content is getting pumped into the mech tactics games where it can already be played. Even better still, mobile versions are landing the same day with the

It is important to keep in mind what is going on within Activision Blizzard at this time regarding ongoing allegations about the work culture. The ongoing lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against the company is over-reported toxic workplace culture. The bulk of the suit focuses on “violations of the

The old school FPS revival has largely left me cold, if I’m honest. Even the ones I’ve enjoyed tend to get old within an hour. Most of the things that get recreated aren’t the things I miss about 90s games, and if they were… Doom still exists, you know? So does Blood, and Strife, and

Along with the debut of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands on Steam this week, a brand new DLC has landed for the Bunkers & Badasses-themed shooter. You can check out the trailer for Molten Mirrors below. Those who venture into the Molten Mirrors DLC will face off against the Fyodor, the Soul Warden who digs holes and

In the giant jumbled word cloud of all my qualities and traits, I’m willing to bet that “pluviophile” would be one of the biggest words. I adore rain. Whenever it starts, I tend to drop whatever I’m doing – work, dishes, significant other – and I’ll be out frolicking in the downpour before they’ve hit

Illumination’s upcoming animated Mario movie was recently delayed to next spring. Perhaps the biggest downside to that news is the fact that we have to go even longer before hearing what Chris Pratt’s Mario voice sounds like. Today, Variety caught up with Pratt to ask about the film, with the actor describing his take on

There are three reasons to consider playing the new ‘Enhanced Edition’ of Blade Runner over the version which hit GOG in 2019: 1) it has subtitles; 2) it has controller support; 3) it’s on consoles. Beyond that, Nightdive’s remastering has made Westwood’s 1997 adventure game look notably uglier and you’d be better off with GOG’s

Atari is among the oldest and most well-known names in the gaming industry, and it’s celebrating its 50th year on June 27. It first established its headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, neighbor to a host of now-famous tech startups. The new logo, a callback to the retro design of the old location, features the company’s classic

When I got a hands off look at Oxenfree II: Lost Signals, my analysis was that it looked a lot like Oxenfree and therefore if you liked Oxenfree you would like this. I have now played through a small bit of the game, a slightly extended version of the area I saw in the hands

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, the Borderlands-meets-DND spin-off from earlier this year, is finally coming to Steam, publisher 2K Games and developer Gearbox Software announced today. You’ll be able to play it on June 23. Two different editions will be available – the Standard and, as Gearbox calls it, “Chaotic Great Edition.” The latter includes the game’s

I love the name “SpellForce”, mid-word capital letter and all. It conjures a mental image of a kid’s TV show where some, possibly sentai-style, superheroes learn about the importance of spelling and grammar. Maybe a little punctuation, as a treat. SpellForce the video game series isn’t that; it’s a trio of RPG-RTS hybrids which, by

I realised earlier that today was the last day of Steam Next Fest, and I panicked. I remembered seeing one particular demo on Steam which made my ears prick up and my eyes expand to thrice their usual size, and until now I hadn’t the time to try it out. So today I carved out

It’s been a wild month of video game announcements, updates, trailers, and more courtesy of June’s gaming showcase schedule. Between the 2022 Xbox & Bethesda showcase, Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, and the third-party PlayStation State of Play, people have been expecting Nintendo to announce its own June gaming direct.  And it finally has, but

The Legend Of Heroes: Trails From Zero is heading to PC with an English language release, 12 years after its initial launch. The port is being helmed by Peter “Durante” Thoman – known for JRPG ports and Dark Souls fixes, mainly – and a new developer blog post goes into detail about the ways in

Nerf, the leading foam dart and water weapon manufacturer, has unveiled its first-ever mascot, which fittingly goes by the name Murph. Murph Nerfington (I gave them the last name) will represent the company as part of a multi-year marketing push in social media, public events, and more. Murph looks like a Koosh mascot more than a Nerf representative,

A new Game of Thrones series is reportedly in the works, and it will reunite fans with Jon Snow after the events of the show’s finale.  The Hollywood Reporter states that HBO has begun developing the live-action spin-off series, reporting that Kit Harrington is attached to reprise his role as Jon Snow should it proceed. HBO

Not E3 2022 is over. It’s done. I think? I mean there’s a Nacon showcase in July but, I mean come on now, we can’t start classing events that occur outside of June as being part of the event formerly known as E3 can we? That would be preposterous. Before long it would spool out

There’s something so intriguing about a new survival game. You just never know what you might find, with some becoming the best thing since cubed diamonds and others getting left in a state of endless early-access jank. Partly to help you all avoid the duds and partly to satisfy my own morbid curiosity, I trawled

Overwatch 2 is coming to consoles and PC later this year as an Early Access free-to-play title. With that change in business model, Blizzard Entertainment is now offering a bundle for the unreleased game with plenty of cosmetics and extras, including beta access. However, it’s going to set you back about the full price of

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is heading to Steam tomorrow, June 17. Prior to today’s news, the game’s only been available on PC via The Epic Games Store. Intergrade is the enhanced version of Final Fantasy VII Remake that includes upgraded visuals, a Classic Mode difficulty, and the Intermission story expansion starring Yuffie. Executive director Yoshinori

I am, at present, the world record holder on one level in Neon White. Admittedly, “world record” is less impressive when only developers and media have played, and I expect to be toppled soon after it launches today. Point is: while writing this post about how much I adore the speedrunning FPS, several times I’ve

If you’re wondering what games are coming up in 2023, we’ve put them all in one convenient location. This list will be continually updated to act as a living, breathing schedule as new dates are announced, titles are delayed, and big reveals happen. This should help you plan out your next year of gaming and

With your help, I’m on a mission to answer the biggest question: what’s the best thing in video games? With a wholly sensical face-off between two things each week, we’ll surely soon discover the absolute best thing. Last time, you decided that friendship is better than interrupting conversations. You must be very good friends, if

In a video interview with IGN, Bethesda’s Todd Howard divulged additional details about Starfield. He also uttered the name “Fallout 5” and gave an idea of when fans can expect to see it.  Speaking to Ryan McCaffrey, Howard confirmed that Fallout 5 will be the next game after The Elder Scrolls 6, which itself has entered

A few days ago I sat in on a presentation for Lightyear Frontier, a 3D farming and crafting game set on a remote planet at the edge of the galaxy. In fact in the presentation the game was referred to as a “farmadventure”, which isn’t a portmanteau and you only have to go another centimetere

Monster Hunter Rise kicked off the Capcom Showcase today, with new locations for hunters to explore on full display, along with plenty more monsters to take the fight to when the expansion releases. A demo will also be available starting tomorrow. First off is the return of the Jungle area from the second generation of

Abib the troubadour killed an ancient evil spirit by throwing his knife at it. Tinyfolks is not a “story generator” sort of game, but that fight removed any doubt that it was excellent. There’s no shortage of dungeon-ish turn based combat games, nor of those made of all the usual fantasy archetypes, nor of pixelly
