These days, you really can’t throw a stone without hitting some sort of digital trading card game. From the genre staples of Hearthstone and Magic: The Gathering, to newer roguelikes such as Slay The Spire, digital trading card games offer fans electronic ways to experience tabletop card games on their own or through the convenience of various online multiplayer modes. The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game is the last addition to the genre, offering fans the ability to play a digitized version of the original tabletop game set in the iconic fantasy world of J....

[Update – June 28 @ 11:30 AM ET]: In the original story, we reported that the upcoming Dying 2 Know episode for Dying Light 2: Stay Human would air on July 1 at 10 PM ET. This report wasn’t accurate. The second episode of Dying 2 Know will start at July 1 at 3 PM ET — still later in the day, but not quite at night. Check out Techland’s Twitch channel this Thursday to get another inside look at the upcoming game....

While there’s no official word on whether or not the game’s return to the Xbox store was intentional, the racer has already been removed again, albeit not quite before some gamers managed to buy and download it (thanks, VGC). YouTuber Jamie Moran was even able to play it on their Xbox Series X and share the footage, stating on Twitter: “The First Forza Horizon game popped up again in the store....

Obsidian Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios have announced The Outer Worlds 2, with a cinematic trailer. During the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase, the trailer gave us a glimpse, and not much more than that. It also featured a satirical voice-over. Check it out: It’s one of those trailers that lets you know that something is happening, and not much more. Like a logo reveal, but with some added graphical spice....

This The Outsider review contains spoilers. The Outsider Episode 4 It seems as if every procedural type program has a scene in which someone does some Internet sleuthing, usually through some ridiculously named program like Searchalot or Doctor Sleuth. These scenes, by and large, are never interesting. Everyone searches online for things a dozen times a day or more, it’s something that’s more fun to do than watch. Making that remotely interesting is one of the most difficult tasks for any director, and yet as Holly sits in the tub, searching El Coco and various other old-world bogeymen, it’s not boring: it’s riveting....

The Peterson Case, a spine-chilling horror romp from UK-based developer Quarter Circle Games, is in the pipeline for PS4, PC, and Xbox One, the studio has announced. Set in 1947 near the infamous crash site of the Roswell UFO incident, The Peterson Case sees players hopping into the shoes of Detective Franklin Reinhardt, as he snoops around a seemingly abandoned house in search of its missing residents. There’s a definite Resident Evil vibe to the proceedings as you skulk around the abode solving puzzles and fending off a mysterious, evil presence that pursues you throughout the investigation....

This The Purge review contains spoilers. The Purge Season 2 Episode 9 Finally we come to the main event. Judging from what we’ve seen in American society in a post-NFFA world, it’s not just the highlight of a series of television or the centerpiece of a series of successful movies, it’s the highlight of the calendar. It’s like a second Christmas, right down to the television specials and shopping event, and it’s as important to their calendar as any other holiday might be to ours....

Ubisoft has announced its upcoming reboot of long-running RTS title The Settlers will arrive on PC on March 17. This new iteration is said to be mostly inspired by Blue Byte’s The Settlers 3 and The Settlers 4. They released in 1999 and 2001 respectively, and are considered two of the best entries in the series. The fresh take will see the Elari forced to flee from their homeland to settle on new and unknown lands....

Brawlhalla and WWE are crossing over for a second time with four more Superstars joining the fighting game’s roster. Two weeks on from the initial release of WWE 2K20 and the hype (or whatever the opposite of hype is) surrounding how terrible this year’s offering from 2K is has started to die down. Plus, the game’s first patch has arrived fixing some of the issues players were complaining about. Why that couldn’t have been done before the game was released is anyone’s guess....

Warning: Spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9! Viewers of AMC’s The Walking Dead who are unacquainted with the show’s comic book source material might dismiss the current group of antagonists, the skin-mask-wearing Whisperers, as yet another freaky result of savage, post-apocalyptic societal devolution who will inevitably get their asses handed to them by the show’s vigilant survivor communities of Alexandria, Hilltop and the Kingdom. However, those viewers are going to be surprised by this week’s episode, “The Calm Before,” which is the penultimate chapter of Season 9....

Over the past few weeks, The Witcher series has completely taken over the internet. Old fans and new fans alike are enjoying every inch of the series they can get. It’s how fandoms work. That includes gushing over fan favorites and commiserating on the ones fans love to hate. While most of the fan darlings deserve all the love they get, fans aren’t always right on their strong feelings. Especially the really negative ones....

Apart from Geralt and Ciri, Yennefer also takes up most of the screen time in the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher. This effectively makes her one of the three major characters and gives her a bigger role, much like in the books. Prior to the Netflix show, however, most of what the fans knew about Yennefer was through the third Witcher game, The Witcher III: Wild Hunt and some of the books....

The Witcher is one of the hottest properties in fantasy, especially now that there’s no Game of Thrones to keep fans busy. Meanwhile, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is undoubtedly one of the best video games of all time, with great gameplay, an amazing plot and unforgettable characters. In the game, players take control of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher who is searching for his adopted daughter, Ciri, who is running from an otherworldly force called the Wild Hunt....

Publisher Aspyr has formally confirmed the rumours from earlier this month that it will be bringing back 2005 original Xbox title Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without A Pulse but will also be releasing it for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC as well the Xbox One version. While it sounds like the game won’t be getting too much of a visual polish up (the accompanying press release says it’ll remain “flawless and unchanged”) it will be getting achievements and “modernized controls” on this go around, and will also come complete with the original’s couch co-operative mode too....

The Aurora is a ship that had a number of reasons before it crash landed, but now that it has, you’re more than welcome to explore it. Here are all Aurora Door Codes in Subnautica. How to Get Aboard the Aurora It’s first worth noting that in order to even hop aboard the Aurora in Subnautica, you’ll first need to wait for the engine to explode....

Following a bit of a leak ahead of Microsoft’s Developer Direct showcase, Tango Gameworks has formally unveiled its latest project, Hi-Fi Rush - a rather glorious-looking rhythm adventure that’s getting a surprise release today on Xbox, PC, and Game Pass. Hi-Fi Rush - which follows the eye-searingly colourful escapades of wannabe rockstar Chai and his pet cat - is quite the departure from Tango’s largely horror-focused previous output (which includes the likes of The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo), trading spooks for something considerably more exuberant....

The Temtem summer update, also known as the Kisiwa patch, arrives next month, and one of the new features is Clubs. Clubs serve as Temtem‘s version of clans or guilds. They are a social place for trainers to gather, play together, discuss the game, and, in the future, take part in special challenges. Numerous details about Temtem Clubs were recently revealed in the game’s Discord server, but now the team has taken to Twitter to share the info....

Developer Crema has announced that multiplayer creature collection adventure Temtem will leave early access and release in full this September.

The 1.0 launch will also include a host of new features, such as Seasons, a battle pass, weekly quests and more....

Terraria’s Summoner class has always been a strange one. It didn’t get much love until the 1.4 Journey’s End update, but with the introduction of Whips and other new summoning items, it is, at last, a viable build to tackle Terraria with. Playing as a Summoner poses a unique challenge but offers plenty of advantages over the other classes. It also has a couple of downsides, mostly that it’s tricky to play in the early game....
