The Game Awards had some interesting problems this year. In particular, the words “Please Wrap it up” will be carved into the public’s brains for a while due to some major criticisms on how rushed the award speeches from the devs were. In particular, I noticed that Neil Newbon (the voice of Astarion in Baldur’s…
I love deckbuilders. I don’t have any children (at time of writing), but if I did, I would love my deckbuilders more. I’m not comfortable admitting how many hours I’ve spent slaying a certain spire. Odd, considering I’m actually proud to tell you that I’m coming up to 1000 hours in Monster Train. Yikes. 2023…
It’d be wrong to say that the MMO is dead. A lot of the enduring classics are still around—if a little diminished—and there are some promising MMO games on the horizon like Palia and Pax Dei. I also liked the look of Wayfinder, but that’s not exactly been doing well. Still, it’s nothing compared to…
Almost three decades after first debuting at the Los Angeles Convention Centre, the Entertainment Software Association has announced it’s finally laying gaming convention E3 to rest. A statement was posted to the official E3 Twitter, which read: “After more than two decades of E3, each one bigger than the last, the time has come to…
So far, Tekken 8 has been limited to closed beta tests online or a handful of appearances at offline tournaments and gaming events. An easy opportunity for the masses to play hasn’t presented itself, until now that is. Bandai Namco is releasing a demo for the 3D fighter on PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5. It’ll…
Getting your hands on Wool Fabric in Lego Fortnite is a little trickier than you might think. Obviously, you’ll need to acquire some wool, but that isn’t as complicated as it sounds, since you don’t need any specialised tools to shear the sheep you find wandering around the world. What you do need, however, is…
I don’t remember the last time I was as excited for a game as I am for Tekken 8. I’ve had the pleasure of playing it four times this year—twice at public gaming events, once for October’s closed beta test and, finally, a closed invitation to try the completed game in late November—and every single…
Games industry head honchos have all gotten into the same hobby recently: Refusing to say anything about the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake that got revealed at a PlayStation showcase all the way back in September 2021. It just seems that no one at any of the corporations supposedly involved—Sony, Disney, and…
Trainwrecks aren’t exactly rare in the gaming industry, but it’s rare that they’re this spectacular. After a suspiciously-polished trailer, The Day Before quickly became one of Steam’s most wishlisted games. Then delays, more delays, major red flags featuring “volunteer” workers, a much shoddier 10-minute gameplay video (which you can’t watch anymore) and finally a debut…
Remember back in June, when Hideo Kojima—you know, the Policenauts guy—made headlines for asking someone, anyone to please send him to space? He made that request as part of an upcoming documentary called Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds, which got its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last summer. Well, now we know where, and roughly…
