Our James recently stormed off to Cologne after having one too many ****** stolen by Edwin in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. “I’m never even going to look at another videogame again!”, he declared. Unfortunately for James, he accidentally walked straight into Gamescom. “I’m starting to think that there are a lot of video games” he informed us yesterday. Horrifying if true. Still, it does sound like he’s managing to have some fun there, mainly by hitting up Saber Interactive COO and former id Software co-owner Tim Willits for some top tips on how to avenge Edwin’s thieving ways. Tips about *****-stealing aside, James found time to ask Willits about Space Marine 2's microtransactions, and whether there was any nervousness returning to a cult hit series… especially one a lot of people had almost given up on ever seeing again. “Even the “push forward” combat of the original was part of [id’s] inspiration when we created ***** 2016,” answered Willits. “So for me personally, it’s this huge circle. It’s always intimidating working on a franchise that people love.” But, with the right team, technology, and vision he says, “it just comes together.” Read more View the full article
Expanding your Steam Deck storage just got easier, and cheaper, with this microSD deal on Amazon. The Samsung Evo Select 1TB is currently on ***** for $79.99, its lowest ever price, saving you $30 over the MSRP. We have the Samsung Pro Plus listed as one of the best microSD cards for Steam Deck, and while it is capable of faster transfer speeds than the Evo Select thanks to its U3 class rating, this is overkill on Valve's handheld which can only register read speeds up to 104MB/s.

MSI and Blizzard are partnering up to release a beautiful World of Warcraft-themed graphics card. This Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super will come with five magnetic backplates, each one celebrating various expansions from across the game's 20-year history. The GPU also comes in special packaging, helping sell the importance of this huge collaboration. We believe the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the best graphics card for most gamers, with exceptional ray tracing performance and significant frame rate boosts available thanks to Nvidia DLSS 3.

He's not saying that it will be his final game, but as Peter Molyneux talks about Masters of Albion, there's certainly a sense of 'one last job' - a swansong and a homecoming that combines all the greatest works of his career into a culminating statement. The interface, a supple and intuitive hand that you can use to pick up villagers and assemble buildings, comes right from ****** and White. The world and its name owe their inspirations to Fable, and the third-person combat (more on that later) whispers of Dungeon Keeper. Of course, just like Populous, Molyneux's breakout hit from 1989, this is also a strategy and **** game. Absent is the top-hatted financial manager from Theme Park, and Theme Hospital's nasally receptionist, but the band is otherwise back together. As well as his best-known games, Masters of Albion reunites some of Molyneux's closest creative collaborators. Read the rest of the story...

The Whiteclad Noble is a boss in ****** Myth: Wukong you encounter shortly after the Marsh of the White Mist Keeper’s Shrine in the Bamboo Grove. The boss ****** against this snake-like warrior is divided into two phases: his “human” form and his “true” form.

Xbox Game Pass has finally revealed what subscribers can expect in the second part of August and the line-up includes an RPG that many overlooked in 2023. Despite some stellar titles at the beginning of the month, August has been a relatively slow time for Xbox Game Pass given the lack of standout AAA additions the service is known to provide. While this is likely due to the recent inclusion of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the forthcoming launch of ****** Ops 6, users looking for the next big game should mark their calendars for August 22.

If you know his work - the Fable series, **** game tentpoles like Populous and ****** and White, Dungeon Keeper, and the superb Theme Park and Theme Hospital - then you almost certainly know of Peter Molyneux. And if you know Peter Molyneux, you also know that he has a reputation.
