Psychonauts.Yeah, I know — sort of likeBeyond Good and Evil, one of those games that needs no introduction, that almost hourly enjoys some sort of running of the mouth by one journalist or another. I’m introducing it as such to take a bit of the edge off the shock that, yeah, I fully intend to add to the aforementioned cacophony and blurt a few more words of praise for a game that is perhaps already permanently cemented into your mind....

Another day, another disastrous launch from a recognized brand. This time, Bungie was in the line of fire after launching the latest DLC forDestiny 2. WhileThe Final Shapeis “shaping up” (how do I come up with such quality gags?!) to be a great addition to the game, there have been some major teething problems from the start. After the new content was released, major connection problems were almost immediately noticed. As such, the developer has had to quickly step in with fixes and the promise of some much-needed patches....

Shhh! Knights, I bid you welcome to your newFate/Grand Orderupdate! Aniplex will now let us play the sixth chapter in its ongoing time-travelling, history-correcting saga,Camelot: Divine Realm of the Round Table. As might be implied by the title, the next story event is based on Arthurian legend, and stars a handful of new Servants based on King Arthur’s finest, including Lancelot (this time not crazy), Gawain, Tristan, Bedivere, and another Lancer-class version of Arthur herself (though she’s pretty much the same as her Lancer Alter from a few months ago, bar a 5-Star stat boost)....

Multiple CDPR releases supposedly on the black market Last week, we reported how CD Projekt RED had run afoul of a “targeted cyber attack,” with a party of unknown persons reportedly stealing staggering amounts of data from the Polish developer, including the source code to some of its biggest and most recent releases. Initially the hackers – a group calling itself “HelloKitty” – tried to ransom the stolen data to CDPR, who went public with the entire affair while clearly stating it had no intent of paying the persons responsible....

A newCall of Dutyannouncement just hit the internet, but it unfortunately has nothing to do withBlack Ops 7, or any sort of gameplay at all, for that matter. No, gamers, today’sCoDreveal is that Beavis and Butt-Head are coming toBlack Ops 6andWarzoneas part of Season Four Reloaded. Yes, seriously. The MTV-watching, foul-mouthed teens who haven’t been all that relevant in a couple decades are about to invade your lobby. Mike Judge’s Beavis & Butt-Head are coming to Call of Duty Season 04 Reloaded 🔥pic....

There’s lots of weird shit out there — so much, that it’d probably crush our feeble minds if we saw even a portion of what the big vastness of the cosmos has to offer. You can at least give it a whirl, if you’re brave, by winning a copy ofGenesis Alpha Onefor your PC, PS4, or Xbox One....

Enslaved: Odyssey to the Westis based on the 16th century Chinese novel known as “Journey to the West” and is hailed as one of the great classical Chinese novels.

Thecast of BritToidand I will be picking our favourite so be creative!...

According to arecent job listing, Creative Assembly’s mysteriousAliengame is planned for both current and future game consoles. It could mean anything, or it could mean nothing. Either way, it’s a chance to talk aboutAlienssome more, so I’m all up in this. TheTotal Wardeveloper is looking for a multiplayer/gameplay programmer to help create “a AAA multi-platform title on current and future generation consoles set in the Alien universe.” The wording implies that the game is due for the next iteration of Xbox and PlayStation, or it could just mean it’s planned for the Wii U....

Free in beta, but could change for launch Custom matches inPUBGhave been a feature for partnered players for a while now. Allowing one to tweak basically every facet of gameplay, custom matches are great for mixing up the general gameplay and makingPUBGfeel a bit more refreshing than the standard game mode. Having been promised for months, the feature is now available on test servers to iron out the kinks before its official launch....

More Metroid than Zelda It’s kind of a small miracle thatDarksiders IIIis getting made — or at least the way it’s getting made. Back in 2013, Vigil Games (developer ofDarksidersand its sequel) went belly-up alongside its parent company THQ. A bunch of former Vigil employees formed a new studio called Gunfire Games. It got through the first five years mostly by riding the early wave of VR.Chronosis Gunfire’s most popular game....

Good things come in small packages I love indie games. I played from time to time back when Flash game sites were still hip, but two games that really got me into them wereTower of HeavenandCave Story. Yes, I like platformers, why do you ask? As game budgets balloon to reach higher graphical fidelity and larger game worlds, and after a year with a lot of big games I loved, my mind keeps going back to indies....
