Mondays are kind of rubbish, unless you can score a game bargain to brain-hack yourself into thinking, hey, this wasn't so bad after all. I've got a bunch of discounts that can fit this (smaller) bill. Personally and after watching Luke Reilly's round-up on Alien games, I'd go for that 42% off Aliens: Dark Descent. Such a criminally underplayed gem that nails the survival horror factor of Jim Cameron's ****-tier action blockbuster. In retro news, I’ve baked a big, 15-shaped cake for Shadow Complex, a Metroidvania that broke XBLA sales records. Built by Chair Entertainment, a dev who’d go on to make the (sadly delisted) Infinity Blade trilogy, this 2.5D romp hooked me with its “suspiciously well-trained hikers discover a ****** site” plot. Basically, it had rock solid gunplay, a delicious drip of OP power-ups / tougher foes, and a decent runtime for its low, low asking price. For science, I bought and replayed Shadow Complex Remastered over the weekend—still great and worth the bucks. This Day in Gaming Aussie birthdays for notable games. - Wolfenstein (PC,PS3,X360) 2009.

It’s been a few months since Niantic introduced the avatar update, which completely changed how trainers looked in Pokémon Go, and it’s safe to say no one is really happy with the outcome. It was so bad that back in June, Pokémon Go‘s director Michael Steranka sat down with Eurogamer to say the handheld game’s development team was actively looking to take on fan feedback to update the new avatar system over time.

Gestures in Elden Ring, such as the Erudition Gesture, may seem to only be useful as a form of communication with other players in PvP mode. However, they serve much more functionality while exploring the landscape and even the DLC region, the Land of Shadow. View the full article
If you, like me, were waiting to watch all those delicious short clips of Monster Hunter Wilds weapons until you could watch them all in one go... then today's your day. These are some of the only looks at Monster Hunter Wilds we've seen in a while now, and people are so hungry for them that they're racking up millions of views even though they're pretty much the same weapons we've seen in Monster Hunter games for years now, just with some fancy new animations...

The Sims 4 has been around for over a decade, and unlike many titles that have existed for as long, it still receives support and content to this day, which shouldn't be a surprise. There isn't much competition in the life sim genre yet, so The Sims 4 has been able to dominate unchecked, allowing it to keep its immense player base. Despite this, the game is ten years old, and if some recent buggy releases for the title are anything to go by, The Sims 4 could be tearing at the seams. View the full article
Mountaintop Studios is labelling its new tactical shooter Spectre Divide “genre-evolving.” And while the jury’s still out as to whether this new title will shake up the tac-shooter scene, one thing is sure: The way it approaches abilities is unlike any other. There are no classes or heroes in Spectre Divide. Instead, players will have the ability to select a Sponsor prior to every match. These Sponsors resemble companies or factions and each come with three different abilities you can activate during a round. Many Sponsors have a clearly defined role; e.g., Bloom Technologies has support abilities like a barrier and a heal. View the full article

I have several hints and the answer below, and you’ll be happy to know this clue is more of a word-riddle than a maths clue. View the full article
Of all the core mechanics in Dungeons & Dragons, getting a long rest is probably the least exciting, which makes sense, but Baldur's Gate 3 managed to make a key improvement. As its name suggests, a long rest requires the party to spend at least eight hours in a restful state in order to recover their hit points, spell slots, and other class resources. Compared to fighting hordes of devils or solving puzzles in a crypt, this part of the game is rather dull. View the full article
Katie Ledecky is an ********* swimmer who competed in the 2012, 2016, 2020, and finally the 2024 Olympics. As an elite swimmer, she’s won numerous medals—and exactly how many is one of the clues in today’s NYT Crossword puzzle. This clue, “Number of Olympic gold medals won by Katie Ledecky,” is from the NYT’s Aug. 19 Mini Crossword, and if you haven’t followed Ledecky’s career, it’s a tough one. View the full article

Incineroar has been one of the most popular Pokémon in the VGC metagame, but results from the World Championships show signs of weakness for the Gen VII ***** Starter. The Regulation G meta at Pokémon Worlds this year has been ruled by a handful of threats like Rapid Strike Urshifu, Rillaboom, Calyrex, and, of course, Incineroar. The chances were very high that at least one of these Pokémon would take home the trophy. It wasn’t to be, however, with the ever-present ***** cat instead running into its first slump.

Valheim's final update will come from the Deep North biome, but there is currently limited information on it. Valheim was released in February 2021 and was a major hit, seeing profit and player numbers surpassing most indie games. The Ashlands was a huge update that showed how far the game has grown and was well-received with its numerous additions. However, the game is planned to be released in 1.0 with the Deep North, which will likely be the last major update for the survival title. View the full article

Vitality won a long and entertaining battle against the reigning Major champions to secure their in-game leader’s first big title in the Cathedral of Counter-Strike. It was a fantastic match featuring great strats and raw aim in equal measure, with ZywOo’s AWPing prowess proving the difference in a close-fought series. It may not have gone to five maps, but it was a titanic clash of two evenly-matched sides, as NAVI and Vitality locked horns in the grand final of IEM Cologne. It was the first time the prestigious tournament was played on CS2, and a lot has changed the last time around—a year ago, s1mple was still on NAVI’s active roster, and zonic was still coaching Vitality—but the level of excellence on display was once again worthy of the spectacle in the Cathedral of CS.

Image: Ubisoft Ubisoft has published the PC requirements for Star Wars Outlaws, which is releasing later this month on August 30th, in a post that also points to a new gameplay trailer for the Grand Theft Auto-style space adventure. The trailer compares the game’s looks when certain features, like DLSS, are turned on versus off. There may not be any major revelations in terms of story or gameplay here, but it could give you an idea of whether you want to upgrade anything for the game or not. On the hardware side, Outlaws seems fairly forgiving of PCs still using components like the GeForce GTX 1660 GPU or Intel Core i7-8700K CPU. Eurogamer notes that you’ll need DLSS or FSR to run the game at minimum specs. From Ubisoft’s page: Minimum • Visual... Continue reading… View the full article

A YouTube video from Sunday, Aug. 18, shows the latest 0.2.1 version of the emulator running the game’s alpha version on PC. The 30-second video showcases the game fully booting up and the character being able to move for a few seconds, although with broken audio, before eventually crashing. View the full article
Starfield's main story can take potentially dozens of hours for a new player to complete. Despite this, Bethesda has suggested that the game does not really start until the main quest is finished. Waiting at the end of the story is a final reward for the player: becoming Starborn. By this point, the player will have already fought many Starborn in their path, so they may wonder what the new role entails. View the full article
