Arthur Morgan is undoubtedly one of the greatest, and most complex, protagonists in video game history. When we all heard that the prequel was presenting a new protagonist, we all kind of shook our heads and braced for the disappointment. Luckily, all of our expectations were gloriously surpassed and exceeded. That said, Arthur Morgan is not a good man. But he’s also not an irredeemable man. The game is called Red Dead Redemption after all!...
With more than 154 million units sold, the Nintendo DS has had the long-standing honor of being Nintendo’s best-selling console. It ranks second only to the PlayStation 2 with less than one million separating the number one and two spots. Whether the DS gets passed over by the Nintendo Switch remains to be seen, but it will always hold a special place in our hearts. © iStock.com/fiorigianluigi When it was released, the world had never seen a console, never mind a portable console, with two screens working in tandem....
The Artful Escape is on its way to PlayStation and Switch on 25th January. The vibrant music-themed game is already available on Xbox and PC, including Game Pass. It was nominated for a number of end of year awards, as well as featuring in our own Eurogamer Game of the Year list. If you’re yet to play, it follows the surreal adventure of a musician escaping the shadow of his father into… well that would be telling....
The author of The Witcher novels will now be receiving a cut of the video games following a demand for sixteen million dollars worth of the profits brought in by The Witcher games, though he likely didn’t receive anywhere near that much money. We reported back in October that Andrzej Sapkowski, the author of The Witcher novels, had demanded sixteen million dollars from CD Projekt Red as a result of his work increasing their profits....
Who would have guessed that one of the most adorable and recognizable video game characters around packs so much destructive power? Kirby currently has almost 60 copy abilities throughout over 25 years of games, not counting abilities such as Hypernova or one-time use abilities. Debuting in Kirby’s Adventure for the Nintendo Entertainment System, inhaling a special enemy will endow Kirby with powers spanning from blades, elemental prowess, or simply taking a relaxing nap....
UPDATE 07/12/22: Following on from the weekend’s PC patch for The Callisto Protocol, the team at Striking Distance has released another one. This update will improve “PSO caching” and “further [reduce] any stuttering issues” users may be experiencing. Reiterating what it said earlier in the week, the developer assured players it’s “listening to your feedback”. The Callisto Protocol director also Glen Schofield echoed this sentiment, saying “we hear you”. Meanwhile, further PC and console optimisations are “in the works now”, with the The Callisto Protocol team asking everyone to “stay tuned” for more information....
This review contains spoilers. A Ghost Story For Christmas is a series of one-off short dramas originally produced annually by the BBC between 1971 and 1978, and produced as occasional treats since 2005 (in 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2013). The majority of these stories are adaptations of M.R. James short stories (and one by Charles Dickens); this is the third specially written screenplay, and the first since the 2005 revival....
Ubisoft has announced that its online only first-person shooter, Tom Clancy’s The Division, will be getting a free weekend from September 14-17. This free weekend is only for the PC version of the game, and grants players ‘full access to the base game’s content,’ so that doesn’t include any of the DLC that would come with the season pass. The standard and Gold editions of the game will be getting a discount as part of the promotion, though Ubisoft hasn’t detailed how much this will be....
The Haunting is well underway in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. The event has seen the introduction of some new spooky game modes, a new submachine gun to unlock, called the LAPA, and more. Also, players have been able to get in the Halloween spirit with cosmetics that are fitting with the season. Already, Call of Duty has done a crossover with Scream, with Ghostface joining multiplayer and the battle royale mode....
Welcome back to another addition of “look at all the wackiness that happens between the Elder Scrolls games.” Before any of you give me a hard time about how this article is shorter than my last one regarding “What Happened Between Oblivion and Skyrim,” I’d like to point out that Skyrim takes place 200 years after Oblivion. Wanna’ know how soon Oblivion happens after Morrowind? Six years. Still, I managed to find a pretty big handful of events that helped shape the world of Oblivion that is either implied through conversation or context....
Considering the nature of many of its body-horror monsters, it’s weirdly fitting that The Evil Within 2 is a bit of a shambling chimera of a game, with dangling mechanics and ideas roughly sewn onto it. As with those same monsters, it’s also a lot more fun to deal with than that analogy might first indicate. Weirdly, the one aspect of it which is relatively well laid-out is its plotting, which is not something I think anyone who played The Evil Within would expect....
Bethesda has released a new gameplay trailer for The Evil Within 2, featuring some lovingly crafted (if disturbingly awful) baddies. Years before the events of the first Evil Within, Lily, the daughter of Sebastian Castellanos, died in a house fire. Or at least that’s what he thought happened. The sequel follows Sebastian as he goes to the city of Union to find out the truth about Lily. Obviously nothing could go wrong at all....
This article contains major spoilers for The Flash season 3 episode 6, “Shade” and 7 “Killer Frost.” Well, we’re about to find out Savitar’s true identity on The Flash Season 3 Episode 20 (note: you can read our full, spoiler-filled review of that episode right here). Don’t worry, though, this is unlikely to turn into another Zoom scenario (what a cheap reveal that turned out to be), and he’s different enough from Reverse-Flash that the mystery that has surrounded this guy for the course of this season is hasn’t felt too repetitive for longtime Flash fans....
Bethesda has released a new gameplay trailer for The Evil Within 2. This five-minute trailer gives players their first look at the giggling, gruesome Guardian as she stalks Sebastian through the corridors. You probably won’t want to look over your shoulder after watching this. I don’t, that’s for sure. This snippet of gameplay is taken from the second chapter in the game. Here we see Detective Sebastian Castellanos being chased through the corridors by a monstrous beast made up of various body parts, known simply as Guardian....
The Jackbox Party Pack 9, the latest installment of the annual party game series, will be coming to all platforms on Oct. 20, developer Jackbox Games revealed today. The new pack comes with four new party games and one returning favorite with Fibbage. The trivia-bluffing game Fibbage 4 introduces new categories for two to eight players such as video questions, questions submitted by fans, and an “Enough About You mode.” The four new games in the pack include:...
The Last of Us Part 2 is getting Grounded mode and a permadeath toggle switch, discovered through new trophies for the game. In The Last of Us, Grounded was a gruelling mode which would prove a player’s prowess in the post-apocalyptic playground. Diminished supplies, no HUD, and no Listen ability restricted Joel and Ellie’s options, while their enemies got boosted damage. There’s no detail just yet, but it’s likely to play out similarly to the original game’s mode....
Japanese developer Nihon Falcom has been responsible for some of the most ambitious JRPGs over the last 40 years. Chief among them is the Trails series, better known by franchise fans as Kiseki. The unique selling point of the Trails games is that they place an emphasis on world-building and character development above all else. This design focus carries over to Falcom’s latest addition, Trails of Cold Steel IV. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV is the fourth and final game in the Cold Steel tetralogy....
Prime Day has contained a multitude of peripheral deals, but so far the one I’m most excited about is a heavy reduction to the Logitech G Pro wireless gaming mouse. It’s less than half price right now at £55, saving you £75 off the retail price. That’s a brilliant deal for a mouse that kicked off the current trend for ultra-light models and remains one of the best wireless mouse today....
This The Magicians review contains spoilers. The Magicians Season 5 Episode 2 Following Stephanie Quinn’s example, no one here is going to tell The Magicians fans how to grieve, but if “The Wrath of the Time Bees” didn’t help bring some closure for those who miss Quentin Coldwater, nothing will. This episode provides a helpful turning point for Alice even as Eliot is still finding his way, but with Julia and Kady progressing through their respective investigations and Margo finding some measure of victory in Fillory, the story is picking up speed nicely right after the premiere....
