A Surge of Mini-Boss Screenshots From Deck13

What it says on the tin. Deck13's The Surge is well on its way to release, currently due some time...well, it'll be out next year, so maybe not that close. Anyway, it's close enough for us to be getting another look at how things are shaping up, in the form of three mini-bosses. One of…

No False Advertiser’s Sky

No Man's Sky did not break any rules regarding advertising, and thus, Valve is in the clear as well. Yep, that's about all she wrote really. Now, I'm not on the “No Man's Sky is the worstest EVAH” bandwagon, but even I'm a bit baffled by this decision. There are, quite clearly, things shown that don't exist…

Styx Says Shards of Darkness Looks Pretty, Has Photos to Pro…

That's pretty much the be all and end all here. Cyanide are probably actually about finished with the game, so Focus (Home) will be releasing Styx: Shards of Darkness sometime in early 2017. Sequel to the generally well received Styx: Master of Shadows from 2014. A stealth/action game about a foul mouthed goblin. So, we…

30 Days of Ubisoft Giveaways…Ubiways

For those who, somehow, don't know yet, Ubisoft have been giving away one game every month to all Uplay users since June, with the final free game giveaway only weeks away. Rumor is that the final game will be Assassin's Creed III. In celebration of thirty years in the industry, they're calling this Ubi 30, and…

Saints Mod the Fourth

Have you ever played a Saints Row game and thought "damn, this shit is just way too mundane for my tastes?" Well, if you have, dafug is wrong with you?! And yeah, me too. But fear not! Now Saints Row IV has mod support via Steam workshop, because...fuck it, why not? This is all Pierce's…

Clementine Takes Her Third Walk on Steam This December

Coming this December will be the first of the much anticipated The Walking Dead's new episodes. Titled ‘A New Frontier’, it picks up a wee while after we last saw Clem(entine)...wherever we decided to leave her. Which has me wondering how much impact the decisions of Season 2’s have on the overall story? Especially since…

Releasing the Darksiders Warmastered Hordes…Sort Of

Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is now available on consoles. Though, sadly, we have to wait an extra week for the PC release on the 29th. It's not all bad though, we have the extended version of the trailer that showed off the 4K assets a few days ago. My earlier comments about it still stand, the…

Space Hulk: Deathwing – The Aliens Game We Always Want…

It even has a Genestealer getting stuck, running on the spot, on the scenery at about the three minute mark. Just like Colonial Marines! Oh the nostalgia. However, Deathwing has a great many things that game didn't, like a great atmosphere, delicious visuals and frenetic, fast moving alien hordes that are actually capable of eating…

Darksiders 4K-erd Edition

Featuring high res textures and sharpened up lighting effects, the Darksiders: Warmastered Edition... you know what, it doesn't look all that great really.  The update has mostly served to highlight the imperfections in the original visuals. But it's hard to deny that they look damned nice all the same. Sharp enough to cut the beard…

This War Anniversary of Ours

To say This War of Mine is not a game for everyone would be a gross understatement. Let's say that it hit a niche that allowed pretentious hipster douchebags (like myself) to wax philosophical about experiencing the true horror of war...yeah, even I didn't go that far, but some people did. Truth be told, it's not…

One More Play for Desura

For those of us with a more niche bent when it comes to our games, Desura was like Steam, but better. Specialising in providing games that you just couldn't find anywhere else...without downloading each individual installer at least, Desura never really made it to the mass market. But was never really intended to. Unfortunately, that…

Watch_Dogs 2 Predicts When You Will Die

Using an algorithm from Cambridge University, Ubisoft have taken what could have been a really cheap and cheesy marketing gimmick...and made it kinda' interesting akshully. Introducing the Watch_Dogs 2 Predictive World, which the above trailer seems to be implying will be a part of the actual game. At least thematically. By accessing your Facebook, or…

Watch the Dogs Launch Into Outer Space

You know, I really don't know what to make of Watch_Dogs 2 anymore. On the one hand, it does look like a hell of a lot of fun, everything you could ever ask for from a sandbox. It's got stunts, explosions, ridiculous hair, all the good stuff. On the other, it looks dumb as shit.…
