Destiny 2 hosts its fair share of yearly events, with the Solstice and Guardian Games being just one of them; however, each event introduces new rewards, and this year, the Solstice also introduces a new bounty system used to reward Guardians with the yearly armor. In years past, Guardians had to complete the Bonfire Bash activity while wearing solstice armor, but this year, players must complete bounties and turn them in for currency rewards. Interestingly, developers did not choose to create an event Pathfinder under the new Pathfinder progression system; instead, they chose to return to tried-and-true bounties. View the full article
I suppose it makes sense from a game publisher's point of view to remaster, remake, or otherwise relaunch your most profitable and highly regarded legacy titles. If people loved it the first time, giving them the chance to play it again, either totally rebuilt from the ground up or visually enhanced and tweaked for modern hardware, is about as near as you can get to a surefire hit. It's fine. I enjoyed the Resident Evil remakes. I love the Command and Conquer Remastered Collection. I even bought the new versions of Metal Gear Solid, despite already owning them on basically every console and machine that I have. But I'd like to see a change in sensibility. Like with the recent Star Wars Bounty Hunter re-release, rather than reheating the classics, I'd like to see more game-makers try to improve upon and revive flawed diamonds. ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster, which I went hands-on with before its September launch, is a good example of where a game both deserves and warrants another draft.

For a while the world seemed to be obsessed with Nordic noir, with TV series like The Bridge and The ******** becoming global obsessions. Similarly, detective sims have been interwoven with gaming for years - titles such as Discworld Noir, L.A. Noire, Disco Elysium, and Shadows of Doubt show that gaming and gumshoes firmly go together. So it's strange that it's taken until now for a Nordic detective experience to arrive, but thankfully Nowhere is here to fill that void. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Two new games based on the Halloween series were announced yesterday, and one of them, a pixel art platformer, has already been revealed. Yesterday, Evil *****: The Game developer Boss Team Games announced that it was working on two games based on the Halloween series, with one of them being developed in Unreal Engine 5, even netting the help of the original film's director John Carpenter. While still shrouded in mystery, of the two that was the one with more details, except today the second game was revealed over at IGN, and it turns out it's a 16-bit, '90s era arcade platformer. Titled RetroRealms: Halloween, the game sees you playing as the infamous Michael Myers, where you go around slashing anyone you come across with the character's trusty ******. That isn't the only game Boss Team Games announced either, as the RetroRealms branding is covering a second game, the other also being a 16-bit pixel art platformer, once again adapting Evil *****. Ash Williams once again downs his chainsaw hand, fighting off the undead and more - it essentially looks like the same game, albeit with different settings and Michael Myers and Ash playing slightly differently. Also worth noting is that Shantae series developer WayForward is helping to develop this one, so it seems to be in good hands. Read more View the full article

When Call of Duty players think Zombies, they think Treyarch. Modern Warfare 3’s Zombies mode tried something different with Treyarch at the helm, and it was a success for some. Now, in Season Five Reloaded, Treyarch’s run in MW3 will officially come to an end (it likely wrapped up development months ago to focus on ****** Ops 6), with the final story mission in the MWZ plotline, along with some other minor additions and changes.

I'm no ****** 'em up nutter - or "shmutter", as I understand they prefer to be called - but some of the first games I remember playing are shmups. Games like Maelstrom, Ambrosia's Macintosh clone of Asteroids, and the proto-shmup Crystal Quest from Patrick Buckland, who would go onto make Carmageddon. Little did I know that the humble premise of a small 2D spacecraft ********* baddies on a wrap-around screen would reach the glittering heights of Nova Drift. Had you shown me this game back in 1995, I dare say I'd have shmupped myself. Read more View the full article

Diablo is one of my favorite videogame series ever. Characterized by complex narratives, jaw-dropping gore, and, of course, a whole lot of hacking and slashing, the world of Sanctuary is one that I happily call home. Yet, in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world, I've found myself more drawn to strategy games - my recent obsession with Capcom's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has affirmed that. So, when I saw Band of Crusaders, which blends the demonic brutality of Diablo with the strategy elements of Age of Empires or Dragon Age: Origins, I was certainly intrigued.

Pulling the right characters is crucial to success in Sword of Convallaria, but more important is investing in them. As they play through the game's campaign, players receive a pool of generic XP that can be applied to any of their summoned characters at will. This increases their base stats, but must be used in conjunction with other materials to unlock new abilities. Players can also spend badges to upgrade their characters, leveling them up along a branching skill tree. They can also equip certain weapons, armor, and accessories to further increase their stats and grant them special buffs. View the full article

When it comes to survival-horror games on Steam, it can be difficult for indie creators to stand out from the crowd and define what makes their take on the genre unique from the plethora of alternative experiences on the storefront. Midnight Forge's Nowhere is the latest game to attempt to carve out its niche in a hyper-competitive market and, if the demo is anything to go by, it could have a profound effect on players. Unfortunately, the preview build is incomplete and barebones, making the idea of Nowhere far more compelling than the actual game. View the full article
