| Grindstone's Monsters And Mamas update adds new playable character Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:24 PM PDT  Beloved puzzle battler Grindstone has received another free content update. "Monsters And Mamas" adds the game's first alternate playable character, letting you choose to ascend the mountain as vetern stonegrinder Jorja, pictured above. There's also a new Boss Blitz mode, new rewards, and a high-contrast accessibility feature for the colourblind.  |
| Crysis Remastered is available on Steam now Posted: 17 Sep 2021 01:00 PM PDT  Crysis Remastered landed on the Epic Games Store last year, and the Crysis Trilogy Remastered will similarly don its freshly dry-cleaned nanosuits for Epic's store on October 15th. But as of today, you can also grab Crysis Remastered from Steam.  |
| Outcast is getting a sequel 20 years after the original Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:45 PM PDT  Hello, the 90s are calling and they'd like to offer you sequels to games you've probably forgotten about. Outcast 2: A New Beginning is the newly announced follow-up to 1999's Outcast. It's an open-world third-person shooter that takes place right after the events of the original, where Cutter Slade (the best-named man in the world) has been stuck in time for 20 years after trying to get home to Earth from the alien planet Adelpha.  |
| Jagged Alliance 3 is coming from the developers of Surviving Mars Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:45 PM PDT  Jagged Aliance 3 has been announced during this evening's THQ Nordic 10th anniversary showcase. The turn-based tactics sequel is the first numbered game in the series since 1999's Jagged Alliance 2. It's being developed by Haemimont Games, who are best known for several Tropico games or most recently citybuilder Surviving Mars. There's a cinematic and gameplay trailer below.  |
| Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed is in development Posted: 17 Sep 2021 12:45 PM PDT  Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed has been announced. It's a ground-up remake of the 2006 third-person action game, in which you go on a globe-trotting adventure as a devious alien. Reprobed follows in the footsteps of last year's remake of the first Destroy All Humans, and comes from the same developer, Black Forest Games.  |
| New Dead Cells update makes it more approachable to newcomers Posted: 17 Sep 2021 09:31 AM PDT  Dead Cells has received yet another update, named Practice Makes Perfect, which adds a training area, powerful buffs called Aspects, and other more. The devs say the patch is focused "on improving the ease-of-use and learning curve for everyone (paticularly newcomers & occasional players), without altering the overall difficulty of the game." To facilitate this goal, all the new features are optional – allowing players to execute their sweet dodge rolls with the challenge they prefer.  |
| The making of Dishonored: Death Of The Outsider, and how Arkane killed a god Posted: 17 Sep 2021 09:00 AM PDT  Dishonored: Death Of The Outsider is a revenge and redemption tale, only here the target of your revenge is god. 'We're going to kill a god’ might seem like a well-trodden path in JRPG country, but Death Of The Outsider brings something new to the table. Here, the god is a trickster, a victim, and the source of the player's power. He's a figure that has come to define the Dishonored series as a whole, and is both revered and pitied by its players. So how, exactly, do you go about killing a god like this? I spoke to the developers at Arkane to find out.  |
| Deathloop codes: safe, door, and machine code locations Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:18 AM PDT  Where are all of the codes to open safes and doors and unlock machine terminals in Deathloop? In true Arkane tradition, Deathloop is full of safes and locked doors that can only be accessed with three- and four-digit codes. Some of the secrets hidden within are essential to progressing the story, while others just contain some good loot. Some of the Visionaries have also used codes to protect some of their machines, which you'll need to override in order to bypass their security.  |
| Ultimate Audio Bang #14: big meaty guns slapping meat Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:10 AM PDT  Predictably, Imogen and I begin this week's episode of Ultimate Audio Bang by getting excited about Deathloop before realising that there's plenty of other newsy bits to cover. Listen to get our hot thoughts on the Call Of Duty: Vanguard reveal, Battlefield 2042's delay, the Overwatch League using an early build of Overwatch 2 in 2022, and plenty more shootery things.  |
| Wuchang: Fallen Feathers looks like a Chinese take on Bloodborne Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:09 AM PDT  Following fawning over the Monkey King violence of Black Myth: Wukong, the latest upcoming Chinese game to turn heads with Souls-inspired action and shiny graphics might be Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. A new gameplay trailer released today gives a long look at a sexy babe fighting against plague-mutated people using her melee weapons, firearms, and gut-gouging counters. Yeah, feeling a lot of Bloodborne inspiration here. Have a look below.  |
| Arctic CPU coolers to get free mounting kit upgrades for Intel LGA 1700 socket Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:09 AM PDT  We haven’t seen much of Intel Alder Lake so far, despite being set for release in a matter of weeks. One thing we do know is that like the majority of Intel’s last few chip family releases, the desktop contingent of these 12th-gen processors will need a brand-new motherboard socket: LGA 1700.  |
| Benchmarking has completely ruined my Steam play time profile Posted: 17 Sep 2021 08:09 AM PDT  I don't know if you know this about me, but I love a good list. For the past ten years, I've kept a detailed spreadsheet of all the games I've ever played. The bulk of it catalogues games by platform, but I've also kept a list of all the games I play per year since 2010. Call me crazy, but this document is a great source of joy for me. I love being able to look back and see when I last played a certain game, and it's also interesting to me to see just how many of them I manage to play each year. I also keep similar lists for films I see at the cinema, the books I read, as well as the plays and musicals I see at the theatre. I'm not kidding. I really do love a good list. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'm also fascinated by the amount of time I spend playing games, too (and yes, I do have a list for this as well - albeit only for my Nintendo Wii games at the moment). Steam, of course, keeps excellent track of your play time - and because it's always open on my PC, there's no need to keep my own version of it. I can just load up my Steam profile and gaze lovingly at the hours and minutes in my All Games tab. Except I can't anymore, because four years' worth of professional benchmarking has absolutely ruined my play time figures. It upsets me. Because I haven't really spent 130 hours playing Shadow Of The Tomb Raider. Or 38 hours playing Doom. It's all benchmarking, and I wish there was a way to scrub these games clean again so everything can be nice and neat and orderly again, and most of all, accurate.  |
| Give yourself a good day by playing Webbed Posted: 17 Sep 2021 07:30 AM PDT  It was 3am and Hucks the cellar spider was finally surrounded by, instead of carrying, her wee hatchlings. Clarice, her slightly dim neighbour, was resting after another hour spent fruitlessly stumbling around after an even dafter flying thingy that would eventually blunder right into her face. Playing Webbed seemed inevitable for someone who watches her ceiling spiders when she can't sleep or finish an article. But within about a minute of playing, it became clear that it's the kind of game that will bring joy to almost anyone. Webbed is immediately brilliant.  |
| Steam Deck dev kit screenshots show a likely Big Picture replacement, SteamOS 3 allegedly leaks Posted: 17 Sep 2021 06:03 AM PDT  Whelp, that didn’t take long. Steam Deck dev kits were only sent out to game developers this week, and it looks like Valve’s handheld PC is already getting picked apart. That’s according to SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, who tweeted screenshots of the Steam Deck UI before claiming the entire SteamOS 3 operating system has been leaked.  |
| Clive Sinclair, who brought us the ZX Spectrum, has died Posted: 17 Sep 2021 05:09 AM PDT  Clive Sinclair, the founder of the company which brought us the ZX Spectrum computer, has died. The first encounter with PC gaming for many of a certain age in the UK wasn't through any beige box MS-DOS or Windows, it was on that futuristic wee black keyboard with rubbery keys and a colourful stripe, which loaded software from cassette tapes. I'm too young to have seen its glory days but I think the first PC game I played was a Speccy shoot 'em up, a magical experience I didn't believe would actually work when I first saw my pal plug a tape deck into a keyboard.  |
| Tails Of Iron review: a fun 2D Soulslike with a bit too much padding Posted: 17 Sep 2021 05:04 AM PDT  As enquiring minds already know, rats are very cute. I've not had pet rats myself, but a bunch of my friends have. Rats have lovely little pin-prick hands and feet, and they will give you wiffly-nose kisses while they assess whether your hair is worth exploring or not. The rats in Tails Of Iron are cute. Little 2D inhabitants of a feudal rat kingdom, where they get milk from insects that look like cows, and royal succession is determined in trial by combat - which you, Prince Redgi, win, and shortly thereafter become King Redgi when your dad is murdered by frogs right in front of you. Let the amphibian bodies hit the floor. Time to kick this RPG into a side-on soulslike experience. Slice open a frog belly and see the guts spill out. These rats are cute, but also u wot? U wot? Say that again m8. Say that to my face. I'll 'ave you.  |
