Bizarre, quite frankly. Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has been speaking about his time in the video game industry recently, and while he’s quick to recall that GoldenEye on Wii almost didn’t have guns in it, he struggles to recall the name of one of the UK’s most respected (and now defunct) game studios…
There’s probably a few holdouts somewhere, but for the most part, it seems like we’ve all come to accept Beamdog’s “enhanced” versions of D&D classics like Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, and Neverwinter Nights 1 as those games’ go-to editions. But there are a couple of classics still missing from the…
Big Brother is watching… You really don’t need us to tell you that a new Jeff Minter game is coming. You know a Jeff Minter game when you see a Jeff Minter game. That said, yes, a new Jeff Minter game is coming. I, Robot is a new psychedelic reimagining of the 1984 arcade classic…
Elden Ring Nightreign, a new co-op adventure set within the Elden Ring universe, comes to PS5 and PS4 on May 30.

Elden Ring Nightreign clicked the moment I hit level 2. My squad had just dropped into Nightreign’s remixed version of Limgrave. Unlike in every other Souls game, I didn’t have to create a character or weigh the options of starting equipment. I was a bird man named Guardian, and all I really had to know…
Well here’s a nice surprise: Elden Ring Nightreign’s official release date is May 30, a good chunk earlier in the year than I would’ve guessed when FromSoftware announced it in December. Coinciding with a bunch of new Nightreign hands-on impressions, Bandai Namco also shared that the co-op Elden Ring spinoff will cost $40, the same…

Talk about ‘What If…’. We’ve heard about a few companies with dreams of purchasing Nintendo over the years (*cough* Microsoft *cough*), and it turns out that there was another big ol’ American conglomerate looking to snap it up back in the day, too (thanks, Gamespot). That is according to the latest episode of the Grit…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bohemia is for lovers. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2‘s romance options are many and varied, ranging from quick flings to longer-term commitments, and the good news is that pursuing them isn’t all that hard. In some cases, it’s just a matter of picking clearly marked flirty dialogue…
