The summer showcases are over for another year, and now that the dust has settled on the chaos of rapid fire announcements, we can finally breathe, take stock, and see how we feel about it all. These showcases aren’t a competition, of course, but if you think that’ll stop us declaring the winners, I’m afraid…
At long last, Dune: Awakening is here. While people who purchased the more expensive editions have been playing since June 5, today is the day Funcom’s survival MMO goes into full launch. As written! As of 7:00 am PST the game is officially out and the servers are up. I’ll keeping tabs on the launch,…
Most gamers have at least entertained the fantasy of going full Jesse Faden, tearing up the Oldest House in Control, and playing videogames with just your mind. Exceedingly few actually embark on a tech project that makes that a reality. Twitch streamer PerriKaryal has defeated many of FromSoftware’s toughest customers using predominantly the power of…
Let’s face it, getting an ornithopter to completely avoid the worm-infested sands of Dune: Awakening is the main goal. It’s quick, it’s easy, and you can haul resources back and forth. As you’d expect, though, it’s expensive to craft, requiring the extremely hard-to-find carbide scraps. Below, I’ll go over the one location where you can…
As you progress in Dune: Awakening, you’ll need ever more obscure and rare materials. Long gone are the days of taking just a few steps and mining copious amounts of copper and iron to craft everything you need to survive the sands. Better gear demands better materials, so eventually you’ll need to get diamondine dust….
Ergonomic keyboards make a lot of sense if you’re someone who spends all day behind a computer and then uses the same rig to game during the evening. Split keys, tenting, and tilting might be alien terms to many a PC user, but once you’ve made the jump, you’ll wonder why you stuck with the…
It will hopefully come as no surprise that I don’t have a Dune: Awakening review ready yet. The “head start” launch of Funcom’s survival MMO was only a few days ago—full launch is today—and even though I’ve already sunk about 25 hours into it, Dune: Awakening is a massive game and I’ve still got a…
Summer Game Fest’s reveals may have been pretty tepid across the board for me, but there was one game that got me out of my seat: Persona 4 Revival. Atlus is giving it the Persona 3 Reload treatment, giving Inaba and its inhabitants a full 3D-HD facelift. If it’s anything like Persona 3 Reload, it’ll…
The Switch 2 console has barely arrived (we’ve only had one in the office since Thursday ourselves), but already the modding massif are getting busy with Nintendo’s newest portable wonder. So, how about an adapter that plugs into the teensy MicroSD slot and allows you to run a full M.2 NVMe SSD? The device comes…
Larian is, as you’ve no doubt heard, done with Baldur’s Gate 3. There’s no DLC in the pipeline, no sequel around the corner. Swen and co are off to pastures greener, creating something they’re all very happy to tantalise us about while giving no details at all. I’ve decided it’s Knights of the Old Republic…
