7 minutes! It’d take me thrice as long just to get through character creation, at least. Baldur’s Gate 3 may only offer a portion of the final planned experience right now, but even that lengthy chunk has been boiled down to a mere 7 minutes by speedrunner Cary “Professor Palmer” Palmer, who’s figured out a

The new generation of gaming looms ahead but current-gen Xbox owners have a new UI update to enjoy before the jump into next gen arrives. A new UI update for Xbox is available now, completely overhauling the interface a month before the X/S arrives.  The new Xbox UI update allows players to make even more

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is less than a month away now, so Ubisoft are flinging out details left and right. They’ve made a whole seven minute trailer of them, in fact. The new video talks more about Eivor’s unlockable skills and customising your Viking settlement. They’ve also published the recommended PC specs today, so you can

Baldur’s Gate 3 Early Access is live on PC and we’ve been having way more fun that we thought we would trying to get gross parasites out of our heads. With a good 25-30+ hours of game time to enjoy with Act I, many have been wondering if their created characters and journey would carry

Have you played Quake? If you have you’ll, like me, probably have wondered why Episodes 2 and 3 don’t end with a boss fight. This week, former Id designer Sandy Petersen explained some of the hacks he and American McGee tried bashing together to fill those boss-shaped holes, from a tower-block sized rotter to a

As it was foretold by the dataminers, now it shall come to pass. Bouncy bean competition game Fall Guys is getting a Sonic The Hedgehog costume later this week. It’s the latest of several game series crossovers that have made it into the game as unlockable skins. Now that Sega is at the table, I

Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S are killing it when it comes to backwards compatibility, including in the realm of VR. While PSVR will work on PS5, including PS4 VR games with it, there is one oddity that players should keep in mind: the PS5 camera won’t work with it. And you’ll need

K/DA is the digital K-pop band from Riot Games and with their full EP dropping later this year, this group is taking over several Riot properties including League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, and Teamfight Tactics. With new skins to bring that pop flavor into the gaming world, here’s what K/DA fans can look forward

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! We’re well into Autumn now, readers. And while it’s tempting to go look at the lovely orange leaves, I’m gonna have to ask you to stay inside and check out some neat videogame screenshots. It’s warmer in here, anyway. This week: Broken frogs, carnivorous plants, caramel waffle cars and some old fashioned

I’ve never understood Star Wars names. On one hand, you’ve got perfectly normal blokes with names like Luke or Ben, and then someone will stroll on up and deadpan introduce themselves as “Dash Rendar” or “Wedge Antilles”. It’s enough to have you wondering where they come up with these names. In the case of one

Sucker Punch’s Ghost of Tsushima is a stunningly beautiful story that helped end the era of PS4 on an incredible note. For those interested in Sony’s Game Boost feature, this is an option that will make the PS4 game even more breathtaking.  The PS5 Game Boost feature aims to improve performance of PlayStation 4 titles

Neat news in the world of Rogue-likers, Rogue itself is getting a Steam release later this month. That’s right, no flashy graphics here. Just good ol’ text characters as the Dungeons of Doom were meant to be experienced. It will be available on October 20th. If you’ve forgotten what Rogue was like before rogue-likes, here’s

Earlier this week, an EA Motive dev confirmed that Star Wars: Squadrons would be getting no new additional paid content, but that doesn’t mean this studio doesn’t have its hands full. In a recent EA blog update, Motive’s Patrick Klaus offered a little insight into what’s next for this team. When talking about the new

If you’ve purchased FIFA 21 on current-gen consoles and are planning to pump tons of hours into Career Mode, Pro Clubs, Online Seasons, and Co-Op Seasons, be forewarned: your saves won’t transfer to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. In response to Eurogamer’s questions about the reasons behind this decision, FIFA Executive Producer Aaron McHardy stated

Were you lucky enough to grab an RTX 3080 on release? No? Well, at least you’re in good company, because it sounds like the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 weren’t able to get their hands on one either. Another hotfix for the early access RPG arrived today to fix some technical troubles and multiplayer woes,

Every day this week, Netflix has shared new images for The Witcher season two. Monday brought our first look at Geralt’s new armor with Tuesday ringing in that Ciri love. Now we’ve got our first look at Yennefer’s return from the Battle of Sodden.  The latest look comes by way of the official The Witcher Netflix

If there’s one thing I want more of in this world it’s Halloween games. No, not horror. Halloween—the heavily consumerist version they sling in department stores with plastic pumpkins, green witches, and ghost lawn ornaments. I’ve had my eye on Pumpkin Jack, to that end, and am happy to hear that the 3D platforming spookfest

Well, it happened. We’re finally going back to the Baldur’s Gate series, courtesy of Larian Studios. The masters that gave us the majestic Divinity: Original Sin series are taking a crack at the legendary Dungeons & Dragons franchise with Baldur’s Gate 3. In this Early Access portion of the game, approximately 25 hours of gameplay

I’ve never really been into A Song Of Ice And Fire. Even before the internet collectively turned on the telly show in its final act, I couldn’t have told you what a Targaryen is. Even so, A Game Of Thrones: The Board Game is one of the best tabletop games I’ve ever played, its cardboard

Earlier today, we had our first look at Geralt’s new armor in Netflix’s The Witcher season two, now we’ve got the official synopsis for what the next step in the story will be.  Season two will, as expected, pick up where season one left off: the Battle of Sodden. It was during season one’s finale

Over the past month, space espionage game Among Us has gotten astronomically popular. Too much so for its own good, it seems, after facing overloaded servers and now the unavoidable rash of cheaters and hackers known to arrive in even the most mildly competitive games. Innersloth say they’re working on multiple solutions to combat jerks

Screenshot Saturday Sundays isn’t dead! Having retreated to the Scottish Highlands to take real-life screenshots of bugs, frogs and all sorts of nonsense, we return to the big city this weekend for another round-up of virtual pics, gifs, and videos. This week: Lurkers in the forest, urban flight, next-door neighbours and a wibbly wobbly swordfight.

As I understand, every single person over the age of 25 took up baking the second lockdown went into effect. Granted, I did not, and that’s probably because the process of baking seems about as complicated as its representation in upcycling puzzler Traption Bakery. Released this week, Jon Prestidge’s lovingly-drawn construct ’em up asks you

This Summer marked a distinct turning point regarding internal practices at Ubisoft and the community’s perception of the company all together. After numerous reports surfaced regarding abuse, misconduct, and power corruption leading to several high-profile execs being fired, the investigations into the underbelly of this studio’s culture continue. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot is leading the charge

Amnesia: Rebirth drops later this month and we’ve got a new look at what’s to come with five glorious minutes of gameplay action showing off puzzles, terror, and how this franchise is taking a page from Soma’s book.  Frictional Games is taking the Amnesia franchise to new heights with a 1930s tale dripping in intrigue

The virual League of Legends K-pop group K/DA is releasing its first album later this year and if you’ve played their song that’s on Beat Saber, you know it pretty much slaps.  Riot Games has confirmed that the virtual pop sensation is releasing their first EP, called All Out, on November 6. Following two silent years that

The early access launch for Baldur’s Gate 3 is just a handful of days away now—which is exactly how much time I need to prepare myself for the character creator in an RPG. Larian Studios have gone over the eight races and their several sub-races that you’ll be able to choose from during early access.

In a message posted on the official World of Warcraft forums today (and Twitter, see below!) executive producer John Hight announced that World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is delayed. When is the upcoming expansion delayed to? No exact date has been given, but the expected release is still this year according to the post. If you’re

Bonfire Peaks is a very irresponsible game. Oh, it looks lovely, but I’m certain there must be laws against setting fire to crates of garbage all the way up the side of a mountain, even if you have to wrap your head around some peculiar puzzles to do so. There’s a demo out the now

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered for PS5 will offer an updated experience for the Insomniac Games adventure that smashed records and was a perfect hit for Marvel fans. For those looking to scoop up this version of the game, not only will you get a newly recasted Peter Parker, but you’ll be getting three new Spidey suits
