For a match type that features in a lot of online shooters, a fairly large part of Capture the Flag is about avoiding conflict. Sure, it takes courage to infiltrate your opponent’s area and steal their flag, but after that it becomes a matter of – to put it bluntly – running away as fast as possible. It’s this part of the game that South Korean developer Nirvanana hopes to tackle with Project ZETA, its ‘multi-team tactical arena’ game which has been running a community beta this weekend.

Outside of a distinct memory of playing with a single metallic Hot Wheels car during an extended stay in the hospital after surgery in my youth, my relationship with Mattel’s popular toy line ends there.

While many Game of Thrones actors from the HBO series became inseparable from their character roles in the show, Pedro Pascal has long since outgrown his unforgettable run as Oberyn Martell. Introduced during season 4, the charismatic Prince of Dorne immediately became a fan-favorite thanks to his swagger, sharp wit, fearlessness, and the deeply personal vendetta he had against those pesky Lannisters.

Baldur's Gate 3 is widely considered to be one of the greatest RPGs ever made, a feat that is both remarkable and undoubtedly unnerving for Larian Studios, the team behind it. On the one hand, you've just created a game that will be, for decades to come, considered a triumph in game design and a constant in any respectable RPG fan's collection. On the other hand, you've created a game so unbelievably good, so ahead of the curve, and packed with so many phenomenal concepts, mechanics, and innovations, that it is nearly impossible to beat.

In the depths of a sprawling hive city, gangs of criminals clash in what amounts to Warhammer 40k's gritty little sibling: Necromunda. Games Workshop recently released a new edition of the grungy skirmish game that puts the brutal Goliath and cunning Escher gangs front and center. However, much to the advantage of crime enjoyers, Games Workshop is giving both gangs reinforcements in the form of two new elite boxes, as well as standalone versions of the models from the new core set, all of which are now available for pre-order.

It boggles the mind to think that, once upon a time, our planet was home to immense megafauna. There is a wonder to the prehistoric era - a wonder that survival board game Jurassic Crisis is attempting to channel through its ongoing crowdfunding campaign.

Former Valve writer Chet Faliszek has a confession to make: Valve intentionally leaked its own Left 4 Dead 2 trailer. The Half-Life and Portal veteran spilled the beans on the studio's past unconventional marketing tactics in a new video uploaded to his YouTube channel (via Ars Technica). Based on his recounting of the Left 4 Dead 2 incident, Valve "leaked our trailer ahead of time because" the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) "wouldn't let us release the trailer." So, why are we just hearing about this now? Well, it's been a few years since any of this would have mattered. "I think we can't get in trouble for that now. It was like 20 years ago," Faliszek said. "It's funny seeing leaked stuff now because, yeah, I don't think you can look for 'leaked Left 4 Dead 2 trailer' because it's just going to be lost." Leaks can happen for a variety of reasons. Sometimes companies are hacked and have their content spilled out onto the internet; sometimes someone says something they shouldn't, and sometimes materials are mistakenly published early. Most developers and publishers have their own process to ensure leaks don't happen, but in the case of Left 4 Dead 2, Valve saw opportunity. The leaked footage in question appears to be the Zombie Survival Guide cinematic trailer, which maybe not-so-mysteriously appeared online in October 2009, one month before the launch of Left 4 Dead 2. It's a three-minute story video that lets survivors Coach, Ellis, Nick, and Rochelle loose to tear through hordes of zombies with chainsaws, guns, and more. Although it's quite violent, Faliszek didn't say exactly what the ESRB had taken issue with. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to matter much to Valve. "Yeah, it originally got leaked because we had this with the ESRB, so that's why a lot of the language had to get toned down," he continued. It all certainly seemed to work out for the best – at least for Valve. Left 4 Dead 2 went on to launch to rave reviews from critics and fans, including a 9/10 review from IGN. Although it never led to a third game (because of course it didn't), we found a lot to love about the multiplayer zombie sequel, calling it "one of the most distinctive co-operative titles out there" at the time.
