World of Warcraft: The Worldsoul Saga was officially announced at this year’s BlizzCon, along with the trilogy of expansions that will be contained within it. And while I have limited interest in the underworld promised in The War Within, or the return of the Titans in the appropriately named The Last Titan, I am overjoyed…
I’ll hand it to Blizzard: There’s not a better band to write a Diablo song than Korn. I may have been slightly too young to call myself a legitimate fan, but my dad regularly had Korn on in his truck when he took me to school, and I distinctly remember staring at the grinning skull…
Both are working on the upcoming Godshard Chronicles. Jennifer Stigile is a name that will be instantly familiar to anyone who considers themselves a fan of the Lunar series of JRPGs. She sang the game’s iconic introduction in its Silver Star Story Complete guise, as well as the moving Wind’s Nocturne, and would also contribute…
You can now add Bad Dudes & Heavy Barrel to your collection.

A game in which you play as a number of robots that…
So that puts it at an M, right? I honestly never thought I’d fall in love with Pokémon battles. That’s not why I play Pokémon – I don’t play competitively either – because I play a ton of RPGs where combat is the draw. I can get my fix elsewhere. But Pokémon Legends: Z-A may…
In the latest episode of Nightdive Studios’ podcast series, legendary FPS developer John Romero came on to talk about the industry, past and present.

Abiotic Factor is the best survival game I played this year for many reasons, but one of those is how stupefyingly extra Deep Field Games’ Half-Life-inspired adventure is. Its Black Mesa-esque research facility is so much larger and stranger than it needs to be, and that’s before you get all the strange pocket dimensions you…
