Developer ‘desperate to communicate better’ I stopped playingNo Man’s Skydue to boredom, which is never how I want to end a video game. I felt engaged in the early hours just scouting out new planets, but eventually, I ran out of meaningful things to do. Then I kept pushing anyway. “What’s at the center of the universe?” I had to know the answer until suddenly, I didn’t — I no longer cared because I couldn’t spend another minute in this game....

Or any game like it BeforeHeavy Rain’s release, Quantic Dream founder David Cage said that he didn’t want players to go through the story more than once. “It’s going to be unique to you. It’s really the story you decided to write,” he saidin an interview with G4. “I think playing it several times is also a way to kill the magic of it.” I never playedHeavy Rain, because at the time I didn’t have a PlayStation 3 and when I did eventually get access to one, the game wasn’t on my radar any longer....

Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alonewas released recently for $9.99 on Xbox Live Arcade or PlayStation Network and is the sequel to 2009’sZombie Apocalypsethat sees players in all out twin-stick shooting action. The sequel lets you control all four characters in your squad now, allowing you to hotswap between each one in order to activate special weapons and abilities. Of course, you may still play with up to three other players still in co-op action....

Free-to-play the way it should be In a recentquestion-and-answer session with Gamasutra,World of Tanksdeveloper Wargaming.net shared that it has decided to drop all “pay-to-win” microtransactions, a common issue facing the free market, from its current games and all games going forward. “Pay-to-win” has become a term for any purchasable item that gives players an unfair advantage over anyone who hasn’t put real money into the title. Rather than putting a focus on selling enhanced items, the new revenue will come in part from cosmetic items, a strategy that has worked well forTeam Fortress 2and its many hats....

Booker T defeated in Call of Duty legal rumble And so, yet anotherCall of Dutylawsuit comes to a close, as a Texas courtroom finds favor with publisher Activision in a long-running likeness lawsuit with WWE star Robert “Booker T” Huffman. The case, which was filed way back in February of 2019, concerns theCall of Duty: Black Ops 4character David “Prophet” Wilkes, whom Huffman argued was directly influenced by “G.I. Bro,” a wrestling persona Huffman portrayed in the early stages of his career, (as well as in his latter WCW days)....

It doesn’t matter whether you’re happily settled in an amazing relationship, or dreaming of finding your perfect someone, we all long for some romance in our lives. If you want to live vicariously through others, or want some inspiration, romance books are great. I’m a fan of romance, although I’m not sure there’s anyone in the world who could say otherwise. Whether it’s on the screen or within the pages of a book, there’s something so special about witnessing the growth of a relationship between two people, living through their drama with them, and coming out on the other side for better or worse....

You know what would be fun? Loot box regulation RememberStar Wars Battlefront II? Well it wasn’t that long ago so you probably do. It earned the ire ofStar Warsfans, players, and the press at large due to its heavily gating loot box system, and sort of blew the lid open on the entire practice — prompting multiple worldwide gambling regulators to investigate loot boxes. We’re nearly there in terms of possible sanctions (Hawaii has several bills in the works), but not quite....

Buffet of games There wasn’t exactly a buffet of games for Nintendo’s Super Scope. It was only supported from ‘92 until ‘94, receiving 14 titles if you’re being generous and 12 titles if you’re being slightly less generous. Of them, a lot are missable. The one that usually comes to mind for anyone not intimately familiar with the shoulder rod isYoshi’s Safari, but those in the know are aware ofBattle Clashand its sequelMetal Combat: Falcon’s Revenge....

Updated: June 27, 2025 Added a new code! Okay, so there’s this field, right? And you need to throw bombs at it and dig all the way down. Then you can go back and keep doing the same or go to another area and throw some more bombs at another field. The game’s calledBomb Digging Simulator, alright? What elevates the whole experience is that you can use your Wins and Clicks to hatch pets and get better explosives that blow up more significant portions of the area you’re so keen on blasting through....

Lovely; should have been front and center Although it was revealedlast December,Boundstill looks pretty awesome. Sony seems to think so too, because even though it wasn’t part of the main E3 conference, it still got a spotlight anyway during E3 with a new trailer. The game sees the protagonist revisiting “memories of her childhood,” set to the backdrop of platforming gameplay. Talk of “introspective story” and “powerful metaphors and imagery” has me concerned that they’ll over do it, but this footage has me convinced....

Coming in January Dragon’s Dogmawas an unconventional RPG that in many ways, was stuck in the past, but I really dug what it was trying to do. Every so often I’ll jump back into it, and it was even more enticing once theDark Arisencontent dropped. With the PC version rapidly approaching, Capcom has dropped a new tips guide to acclimate newer players into the franchise. Dark Arisenwill arrive on PC in January, and with it, likely a heap of glorious mods....
