Knight club. Atooi’s Knights of the Rogue Dungeon follows closely in the footsteps of Q*Bert, the popular isometric platformer from the golden days of the arcade. The goal of each randomly selected level is to simply hop onto every single tile (changing its color) while avoiding any of the roaming enemies that randomly drop onto…
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the game that put BioWare on the map for people who thought Baldur’s Gate was the thing that kept Baldur’s dog in Baldur’s yard, has an incredible twist.

Snappy one-liners and stealthy jungle infiltration quickly explode into a hectic firefight that, slowly but surely, turns dire as an otherworldly foe picks off an elite Fireteam with grisly precision.

YouTube is finally doing something about all those AI trailer videos that have been cropping up all over the platform.
