Lore has always been a tricky subject for fans when it comes to adaptations: Too close an adherence to the original text, and you get a diminished version of the thing you already love; too loose an adaptation, and suddenly your beloved series is unrecognizable. I’m fairly outspoken about my belief that as far as […]
Sunderfolk, a four-player co-op turn-based RPG, is looking like the next game to encourage folks to experience the joy of tabletop games. It sees players fight together through a story where every NPC and player choice is narrated by a game master, allowing a group of friends to party up for weekly game nights to play through a campaign together. Sunderfolk doesn't offer the same level of narrative freedom as a game like Baldur's Gate 3 (or playing an actual tabletop game with a real person...
Codes are the key to many mysteries in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. You’ll need these codes to unlock the various safes and chests (and at least one door) found throughout the game. As you explore, you’ll find locked safes and chests throughout the game. In most cases, the code to unlock the safe […]
“Secret of Secrets” is a mystery you’ll find as you explore Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s Vatican. You’ll be able to find it once you reach the Sistine Chapel. The safe — and all the clues — are located in a small office off the west end of the chapel. Our Indiana Jones and […]
Fortnite is no longer just the culture-defining battle royale game. It has since become a platform to host a wide variety of games. Lego Fortnite takes a swipe at Minecraft lovers with survival and clicky crafting mechanics. Fortnite Obby Fun and the recent Lego Fortnite Brick Life bring young players familiar with Roblox into the […]
The trailer for Elden Ring Nightreign that dropped during The Game Awards on Thursday doesn’t actually explain what’s going on. It opens with overhead shots of a world that looks sort of like The Lands Between if it was missing its giant golden tree, and then spends the next three minutes showing things that simply […]
If you need further proof that time is just a flat circle (oops, that’s from a different McConaughey masterpiece), it’s been a whole 10 years already since we were introduced to sci-fi epic Interstellar from director Christopher Nolan, which earned dozens of awards and spawned a handful of decent memes. To commemorate the occasion, Paramount […]
Easy swing, and the similar automatic swing, are default settings in Marvel Rivals that automate swinging abilities for certain characters. Used by Venom and Spider-Man respectively, they allow for automated swinging mechanics… that also happen to be fairly imprecise and unwieldy. In this Marvel Rivals guide, we’ll explain how these abilities work, and tell you […]
Crossplay is always a subject of much debate in a shooter like Marvel Rivals. While it allows players to play across consoles and PC, it tends to split the community between keyboard-and-mouse users and controller users, each of which bring their own frustrations to play against. In this Marvel Rivals guide, we’ll explain how crossplay […]
It's 12 days until Christmas, and Larian Studios is once again bringing Baldur's Gate 3 games and puzzles to fans until the big day. This year's advent calendar games are jigsaw puzzles, with today's puzzle being a nine-piece puzzle that plays a video from Aiofe Wilson, Larian's senior communications developer, and CEO Swen Vincke.
Larian did similar things with other games like Divinity 2, but with Baldur's Gate 3's final patch on the way, it makes sense to celebrate the game one more time...
Mafia: The Old Country not only takes players back in time to the early 1900s, but also to a new place in Sicily. Game director Alex Cox recently talked about why the team at Hangar 13 chose that setting and time for the new Mafia game after the latest entries were set in later time periods of mob history.
Cox said in an interview with Xbox that while the first three Mafia games explored different eras of the American mafia, the team "loved the idea of heading to Sicily and exploring the...
The Call of Duty franchise in recent years has been known for its totally over-the-top skins, operators, and finishing moves, and the newest one for Black Ops 6 and Warzone might top them all.
The upcoming Brightmare Tracer Pack is themed around unicorns, and the finishing move--called "Refraction Action"--spawns a unicorn who emits a deadly rainbow fart to take down your enemy. It's truly a sight to behold. Take a look:
New finisher coming to Call of Duty kills your enemy with an explosive...
As we predicted, Astro Bot won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024. This was a relatively open race, with no runaway front-runner, which gave the 2024 awards a little extra frisson of excitement. But in reality, Team Asobi’s delightful platformer was perfectly placed to take an easy route down the middle to […]
For the last two years I’ve been doing roundups of what I consider to be the most interesting actual plays of the year, from new tricks from established shows to shows that don’t use Dungeons & Dragons to the highlights of the best moments in actual play to predictions on the trends that would dominate […]
There is a mystery at the heart of Too Much Fun, the new book about the history of the Commodore 64 by the Danish academic and game designer Jesper Juul: Why is the C64—by far the best-selling home computer of the 80s—so often forgotten in video game histories? Some might ask this question as an […]
