There was a Playable Teaser here, it’s gone now It’s time to “shit your pants,” get off the pot, and downloadP.T.if you haven’t already. Because come April 29, its going to disappear from the PlayStation Store. P.T.may only be considered a demo or teaser, but damn if it isn’t one of the spookiest games I’ve ever played. It’s also one of the most talked about.P.T.‘s mysterious origins (before the link toSilent Hillwas discovered), enigmatic mechanics, and troubling symbolism provoked a wide of range speculation and guessing from successfully teased fans....

A heartwarming sight to see It’s Friday, and we’re about to head into another weekend. As the news machine winds on down and many of us settle in for a cozy weekend of Happy Home planning inAnimal Crossing: New Horizons, I wanted to sharethis sweet little threadthat I’ve been following on the ACNH subreddit all day long, where users have been gifting each other theAnimal CrossingDLC. It all started with user MoopDaDoop, who had picked up theHappy Home ParadiseDLC and was enjoying it....

Mechanicus: hey, I remember these guys in tabletop form Although myWarhammer 40Ktabletop experience has slowed to “infrequent” status this past year, I’ve played hundreds of hours of it in my lifetime, to the point where I can instantly recognize any unit that pops up in a game. I had that feeling withWarhammer 40,000: Mechanicus(as you’re able to see in the key art above, the Imperium will be doing battle with the Necrons: which are basically the Terminators of the40Kuniverse....

Yeah, there’s a lot of horns in that game If you follow Brentalfloss onTwitterorFacebook, you may have noticed howobsessedhe’sbeenwith the soundtrack toSuper Mario 3D Worldof late. I figured it was only a matter of time before he gave it the “what if it had lyrics” treatment, and thankfully this Christmas Eve Eve, he’s bestowed this gift upon us. Brent’s also been dabbling in composing for games, and while he’s not been tied to a particular game as of yet you’re able to check out some of his samples at hiscomposer site....

! We know that the upcomingMetal Gear Solid HD Collectionis going to look pretty with its visual upgrades, but it may also get an upgrade in the sound department. Check out thisrecent tweet from Hideo Kojima: Re-recording for “MGS HD (MGS3)” in progress today, and the voice actors from MGS are here from the morning. Of course, that could mean anything. This mention of voice work is probably Japanese anyway....

Go grab a great strategy title gratis There’s a helluva lot of video game conventions taking place this weekend – most of them with an “X” in the name – and PDXCON 2019 is no exception. Paradox Interactive’s annual trade showwill be showing off the latest buildson titles such asEmpire of Sin, Bloodlines 2, Werewolf: The Apocalypse, and much, much more.

Revenge of the Aztecs In the world of medieval strategy games, there isn’t a more terrifying foe than the Mongolian Horde. Riding out of the east, it chews up everything in its path, devastating entire nations. The horror of this wave of pillagers, raiders, rapists, and conquerors doesn’t really have a counterpart in Western Europe — indeed it ends up benefiting them, as any foe in the east rapidly has to focus his resources on dealing with Genghis and chums....

I’m thinking that I can reasonably excusea Daft Punk postevery weekend from now on. I’m not a massive fan of the band or anything, but if opportunities pop up two weekends in a row I say that that is a sign. Daft Punk for Dtoid! This week is a whole lot less disappointing than last week as two intrepidLittleBigPlanetplayers (designers?) have created a bit of a Daft Punk homage in the game....

You’ll have to depend on your luck to find them, but there’s no such issue with this Shearer card....

Poison and more Did you know that? It’s an interesting tidbit of information, and you can find that and more in the latestDid You Know Gamingvideo, which coversFinal Fightthis time.

But it’s actually rife with excellent fighters, so you’re missing out if you’ve chosen not to check one of them out at least once over the years. This video is hosted by guest Matt, from theTwo Best Friends Playseries....

We’ve got 10 codes to give out, and all you have to do to enter is tweet the following:...

Every Wednesday, we highlight rarely-remembered but interesting games for our “Games Time Forgot” series. Even though the format has long been defunct, a few Laserdisc games have transcended time. Well, okay,onehas:Dragon’s Lair. There are plenty of other games made on this format that time has forgotten, but I want to focus on one of them in particular because it took a deviation from the norm, and isn’t recognized for it today....

Back-to-basics design philosophy attempts to revitalize the genre Hanover Germany-based indie developer Reakktor Studios, creator of the newly released Early Access titleTOXIKK, asks us to consider some interesting hypothetical scenarios: In this thought experiment, ask yourself: What if today’s military shooters never came to be as we know them? What if competitive first-person shooters somehow stubbornly stayed hyper-focused on what was working in the arena shooters of the late ’90s to early 2000s and continued to evolve on a technological level?...
