For Honor, For Beta, For You

Coming February 9th to the 12th, For Honor will enter its final Beta before the game launches on the 14th. Open to one and all, it features the same nine heroes (sadly still no Valkyrie) from last week's closed Beta. But also adds in an extra game mode that I am especially keen on. Joining…

Ace Combat 7 Brings Lots of PR Buzzwords to Steam

Boasting “photorealistic” visuals, intense dog fighting action, a ton of real world and futuristic (made up) planes, all wrapped up in an immersive story-line...yeah anyway, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is not a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Which was one thing we certainly did know, all along. We are happy to confirm that both the Xbox One and,…

Trailer Proves Deck13 Knows All About a Surge of Bad Office …

It would seem that, in the world of The Surge, even life before everything went tits up was still a bit on the unpleasant side. Showing the series protag having something screwed into the back of his head with less than tender care. The weird part is, until the actual screw part, he seemed quite happy…

Paradox Asks: When Will You Werewolf Rage?

Since it's purchase of the White-Wolf tabletop gaming series, a lot of people have been wondering what Paradox is going to do with it. Perhaps revive that much maligned World of Darkness MMO the EVE: Online (that has a free to play option now btw) devs kept promising, but never delivered. Further speculation was fueled when they filed…

For Love, For Beta, For Honor

There are scarcely three weeks to go until Ubisoft's three way hackathon, For Honor, hits the shelves to eat up the entirety of my waking existence. But more importantly than that, the final closed beta session begins in less than a week. Offering us the chance to play as nine out of the final twelve…

Cthulhu: Call of Madness

Another day, another obtuse Focus Home trailer for me to lose my shit over. This time they're teasing us with the mind bending realities of the Call of Cthulhu, with a strong emphasis on the real threat of the Elder Gods. No, silly boy, not violent dismemberment, or grizzly evisceration. You think in such simplistic…

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier – Ties That Bind – Part…

Actually released on the same day as the previous episode, and even sharing a part 1/part 2 title scheme. Conventional wisdom would seem to suggest treating Ties That Bind as a singular entity. However, though there are certainly a great many elements holding both together, they are still clearly distinct entities that, like any episodic…

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier – Ties That Bind R…

And lo, the time did come to pass, when Clementine would return. Hardened by her travails, tempered by fire and reforged into the one who will lead us all to salvation. In other words, there’s a third (full) season of The Walking Dead by Telltale, and Clemetine is more badass than ever. Despite being only…

Styx: Trailer of Stealth

With its March release month sneaking ever closer, the little green gobshite is gearing up for his next outing, Styx: Shards of Darkness, in his trademark, laconic style. Offering us a tonally awesome, if somewhat vague cinematic Art of Stealth trailer. Our boy Styx leaves us all with a snarky, two finger salute after murdering…

Mass Effect Launches Andromeda in March

As confirmed by BioWare General Manager, Aaryn Flynn, Mass Effect: Andromeda will reach our grubby little mitts on March 21st for North America, and the 23rd for Europe, because fuck us right? Why do companies still do that anyway? It's an asinine, utterly barse-ackwards business practice that just rubs people up the wrong way. So…

Of Lobsters and Crowd Funded Thermidor JRPGs

So, Thermidor, an Indiegogo tactical JRPG, set during the French Revolution of 1789, and being produced by a primarily East European/Slavic dev team... ...I'm listening... I do have one question though, does it come with a Crevette with a Mornay sauce served in a provençale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pâté? Wait, it's a…
