I went in intending to grab one thing and came out mentally justifying half a library refresh. That is usually how these weeks go. If you have ever told yourself you are absolutely done buying games this month, you are among friends here.

Released in limited numbers in Oz around the $600 ballpark ($1,299 in '25 bux), this bad boy delivered near-perfect arcade-quality games, though it was a "budget" alternative to the hilari-expensive, cartridge-based Neo Geo AES.

[/url] Back to top Purchase Cheap for PC Winner: Metaphor: ReFantazio[/b]For years, Atlus’ cult-RPG Persona went from being a cool underground RPG series from Japan to one of the biggest franchises in modern gaming. But with Metaphor: ReFantazio, it’s clear the developers behind Persona were seeking to push themselves to new heights. Trading in the modern-day Japanese high school setting for a pure fantasy world full of long-eared knights and bat-like ninjas, Atlus’ Studio Zero has created an incredible and timely meditation on political strife and demagoguery. After the death of the King, the United Kingdom of Euchronia, divided by racial prejudice among its citizens, begins the process of holding its very first popular election that kickstarts a grand, cross-continental adventure. For anyone familiar with the Persona series, you’ll find familiar hallmarks here. Players split their time crawling through difficult dungeons full of horrifying monsters, while spending free moments building up relationships with various party members and inhabitants around the country.But while the Persona games took these quiet moments to reaffirm the virtues of youthful friendships, Metaphor uses these times to tackle headier questions. What defines a knight’s duty, or the responsibilities of those born into wealth? Can one ever heal from the pains of racism, and is religious tolerance a foolhardy endeavor? These aren’t easy questions to address but are asked plainly throughout Metaphor’s 70-hour playtime.While Studio Zero refrains from giving clear-cut answers to these questions, it instead acknowledges the virtues of empathy, kindness, and strength in the face of overwhelming fear and hatred that can take root in an uncertain world where leaders promise salvation in exchange for unwavering loyalty. Wrap these philosophical musings in a stylish, turn-based RPG that looks and feels stupendous — complete with beautiful character designs from artist Shigenori Soejima and music from Shoji Meguro – and you’ll quickly understand why Metaphor: ReFantazio is IGN’s pick for Best Game of 2024."/>Metaphor: ReFantazio (-55%) A$51.70 Stylish, confident, and packed with personality, this feels like Atlus firing on all cylinders.It Takes Two (-80%) A$9.90 One of the smartest cooperative games ever made, designed around communication and shared discovery.Detroit: Become Human (-90%) A$5.90 A branching narrative showcase that is still fascinating to dissect, especially with friends watching.Octopath Traveler (-60%) A$35.90 A beautiful modern take on classic JRPG structure, with a stunning soundtrack to match.Silent Hill 2 (-62%) A$38.90 Psychological horror royalty, still unmatched in how deeply uncomfortable it is willing to be.

South Korean gaming giant Netmarble has made one of the country’s first institutional crypto investments under newly updated regulations, signaling a turning point for how public companies in the region engage with AI and blockchain infrastructure. MarbleX, Netmarble’s publicly-listed blockchain subsidiary, has entered a strategic and investment partnership with OpenLedger, acquiring the network’s native $OPEN tokens. The move follows a regulatory change that now permits South Korean corporations to directly hold digital assets, something that was previously prohibited. .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{ -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent); } Read This Article Free Get instant access by joining the GB MAX Access tier — it’s free to sign up and unlock premium content.Join Now to Start ReadingAlready a member?

Dec. 22 marks the start of a new season in ARC Raiders, and with it arrives a fresh Trials. The new set, available until Dec. 29, has five tasks to complete. As always, some of the tasks are harder to complete than the rest. This guide will provide you with all the vital information required for completing the tasks and obtaining three stars in the process. Table of contentsARC Raiders Week 9 Trials guideSearch First Wave HusksDamage LeapersHarvest PlantsSearch Frozen Raider ContainersDestroy TicksARC Raiders Week 9 Trials guide The Week 9 Trials can be broken down into five tasks. Search First Wave husksDamage LeapersHarvest plantsSearch Frozen Raider ContainersDestroy TicksSearch First Wave Husks The First Wave Husks are remains of gigantic metallic robots that have been destroyed in the war against humanity. Their remains can be found all over the maps, but the best spots have always been on Blue Gate. This map, in general, has a lot of remains across its different POIs. To increase the odds in your favor, you should wait for the Husk Graveyard condition, since that will increase the number of interactive metal shells. You'll also gain double contribution points when the map condition is active. Damage Leapers Screenshot and remix by Destructoid While this task is relatively simple, you'll have to be careful. Getting caught in the open by Leapers means almost certain death. One of my favorite spots is the elevator near the Water Control building on Dam Battlegrounds. A Leaper almost always roams the land near the elevator, and there's also a bunker. Being in the bunker will stop the Leaper's attacks from doing damage, but you can keep shooting at it. To get three stars, you'll want to use a weapon that has decent DPS, and you should always hit its joints and eyes. Those are the softer areas, and will be able to amplify the damage requirements in quick time. Harvest Plants Screenshot and Remix by Destructoid Various plants can spawn on every map, excluding Stella Montis. For example, the South Swamp area in Dam Battlegrounds has loads of foliage to go through. If you're on Blue Gate, the Olive Garden in the southern part of the map is a great spot to hit as well. Ultimately, you can also opt for efficient farming routes on YouTube. However, you can take your sweet time completing this task and ranking the rank to three stars. Your progress will be counted across multiple raids, so there's no necessity to for for optimal routes (I prefer completing this task by mixing with other quests). Search Frozen Raider Containers Screenshot and remix by Destructoid To find Frozen Raider Containers, you'll want to head to a map with the active Cold Snap condition. Frozen Raider Containers are nothing but ordinary Raider caches, but covered in snow. The frozen variants offer better rewards due to the map conditions. My favorite map for this has been the Dam Battlegrounds map, and you'll want to look at the spots marked on the screenshot above. However, you can also find Raider Containers on other maps, as long as the Cold Snap condition is active. Destroy Ticks The best map for this task is Stella Montis. The Stella Montis has multiple rooms that you can access via the doors. To be more specific, you'll want to target the rooms on the base floor. Many of these rooms can have Ticks hiding behind the doors. Ticks are easy to kill as they don't have much health or armor. However, they can swarm you quite quickly if you're not paying attention. It's best to use single-shot weapons against them, like shotguns that work well in short ranges. The post ARC Raiders Week 9 Trials (Dec. 22) – How to get three stars appeared first on Destructoid.

Co-founder of Infinity Ward, co-creator of Call of Duty, and head of Respawn Entertainment Vince Zampella has died in a car ******, according to a new report from NBC4. Zampella was involved in a single-car ****** on Angeles Crest Highway, according to the report, at about 12:55pm local time on Dec. 21. The vehicle veered off the road before hitting a concrete barrier and a passenger was ejected from the car. Both Zampella and the passenger did not survive. Image via Activision One of the architects of modern FPS games as we know it, Zampella's work history includes the co-creation of the very original Call of Duty titles. Under his leadership, Infinity Ward released Call of Duty, Call of Duty 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, after which he moved on to co-found Respawn Entertainment and oversee such games as Apex Legends and the Star Wars: Jedi series. "Vince was an extraordinary person — a gamer at heart, but also a visionary executive with a rare ability to recognize talent and give people the freedom and confidence to create something truly great," said The Game Awards founder and friend of Zampella, Geoff Keighley. "He leaves behind an incredible legacy of work. I’ll miss our dinners and long conversations. And while he created some of the most influential games of our time, I always felt he still had his greatest one ahead of him. It’s heartbreaking that we’ll never get to play it." [Hidden Content] also was the leader of the Los Angeles branch of DICE, Ripple Effect Studios, one of the makers of Battlefield 6, a franchise that he recently took over as its lead.

All it took for Samson to pique my curiosity was a very brief teaser on social media, and then a follow-up post by the game director that described it “more like Mad Max…Payne” meant it had my attention. And then, once it was officially announced earlier this month, my interest immediately skyrocketed. It’s a gritty crime drama being developed by Liquid Swords, a team made up of a number of former Just Cause developers. It’s due out early in 2026 on PC for $25, with console versions planned for later release. In it, you play Samson McCray, who finds himself in the city of Tyndalston after a job he was the getaway driver for went bad in St. Louis. His sister, Oonagh, had warned him not to take the job, and sure enough she was right. But she managed to cut a deal with the St. Louis crew: Samson has to pay back what was lost, with interest. And that’s where this game begins: with our titular anti-hero staring down a debt that’s accruing interest every day, needing to take whatever jobs he can in order to whittle the debt down. Combat is hand-to-hand. Health pickups are bottles of painkillers (hello, Max Payne!), you’ll do plenty of driving (hello, Mad Max!). And the world, says studio founder and game director Christofer Sundberg, will “push back” on your action. “We've had this motto from the beginning that the city is a character in itself,” he explained. “So the more you poke around, the more the world will react. Interacting with people on the street, objects, doing stuff that is unexpected to the world – it's quite a depressing town. The world will react. We have a special narrative around law enforcement and why guns are exclusive to law enforcement and really hardened criminals. And the world remembers what you've done. You won't get away with everything. There will be a reaction to your actions.” The more you poke around, the more the world will react. Oh, and about that “more like Mad Max…Payne” comment? When asked to elaborate on that, Sundberg told me, “[Some of] the team that worked on the Mad Max is working on Samson, and we're taking that [experience] ten years in the future. The tone is equally dark as Mad Max. It's not a post-apocalyptic world. [And] one of the greatest urban game stories ever told is Max Payne. [So] I guess it's the tone that I'm after.” Samson originally had a much larger scope with a much larger team. But in early 2025, Sundberg and studio leadership made the difficult decision to lay off approximately half of the team.”We made a very tough decision to scale down the team due to market conditions and how much trouble the industry is in right now. It stung a lot to have to let them go and it also meant that we had to change our focus. We shelved more of the heavier RPG stuff we worked on – our version of base-building – because we didn't have the bandwidth anymore.” And so, the team that remains, it meant trying to deliver a narrower-but-still-deep experience. “It was originally a 100-hour experience. Now it's more of a quick-and-dirty session-based experience. Completionists will get to spend at least 25 hours. But we are very respectful of people's time.” And that reduced scope is reflected in the $25 price point, too. “We see this as the first book in a series of books to be told about the city and character. “It's tiny compared to Just Cause 2, but it's dense,” he continued. “The size of the world isn't the issue, it's more about how we fill it with meaningful content. We always say that it's ‘big enough’ and it's very scalable.” Getting back to gameplay, Sundberg says Samson is inspired tonally by films like Heat, Ronin, French Connection – stories, in his words, “where violence is fast and decisive.” And that influence is pretty clear on the screen. Samson looked to my eye like it was set in the 1970s, but Sundberg says it is in fact the ‘90s, chosen specifically for the layer of grit the decade still had caked on it. “We played around with the identity era crisis that the '90s was. Cell phones didn't really exist but they were still around. Cash was still king and people were still smoking.” I saw a mission played where Samson wandered outside into a seedy neighborhood. He jumped into a muscle car and drove to a mission waypoint that offered $1000 to be a getaway driver. After switching cars and meeting at the pickup point – in an industrial area that was still very seedy – the planned burglary happens, the building’s alarm goes off, your crewmates get in, and you have to escape the pursuing police. The extra wrinkle is that the cops have a helicopter looking for you too, so it means you’ll need to work extra hard to shake them. After plenty of driving around – Tyndalston seems fairly large, but again, don’t expect it to be jammed full of open-world activities to do – you eventually duck off a road in an alley, under an overpass, turn off your ***********, and lose the pursuing police. This beatdown earned us $1000 to knock off of Samson’s debt. The next mission I saw was a hit that tasked me with going into a club called Chubb’s, finding the manager, and having to fight my way through – sometimes bare-knuckled, and sometimes with a crowbar in hand. Eventually you can build up your adrenaline meter and trigger an adrenaline rush, allowing you to hit harder for a short ******* of time. This beatdown earned us $1000 to knock off of Samson’s debt. Though my demo was brief – maybe 15 minutes or so – I saw enough to really like how Samson is shaping up. The Liquid Swords team is seemingly aiming to deliver a AAA experience at a AA scope and price (there’s more info in an FAQ on the Steam page if you’re interested). If they can pull it off, then Samson has a chance to be well worth its low asking price. View the full article
Vince Zampella, best known as the co-creator of the Call of Duty franchise and co-founder of Infinity Ward who went on to co-found Titanfall, Apex Legends, and Star Wars Jedi developer Respawn Entertainment, died in a single-car accident in Los Angeles on Sunday, NBC Los Angeles reports. According to the NBC report, "The single-car ****** was reported at about 12:45 p.m. on the scenic road north of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. The southbound car veered off the road, hit a concrete barrier and a passenger was ejected, the California Highway Patrol said. The driver was trapped in the ensuing car fire, the CHP said. The driver died at the scene and the passenger died at a hospital, authorities told NBC4 Investigates." No further details about the accident or what might have caused it are available as of yet. Zampella was an incredibly talented game developer who changed the industry with Call of Duty, a franchise he co-created with Jason West in 2003 at Infinity Ward, the studio he co-founded with West, after previously serving as the lead designer for EA's Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Zampella was at the center of a high-profile lawsuit against Activision that alleged that the publisher owed Zampella and the Infinity Ward team millions of dollars in unpaid Call of Duty royalties. The bitter professional divorce led to Zampella and West taking a substantial number of the Infinity Ward team with them to EA, where they co-founded Respawn Entertainment, a studio that has produced nothing but critically acclaimed hits: Titanfall (IGN review), Titanfall 2 (IGN review), Apex Legends (IGN review), Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (IGN review), and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (IGN review). Respawn's success under Zampella led to him getting promoted twice, eventually overseeing the Battlefield franchise within his role as Group General Manager at EA.

Sandfall Interactive is not interested in expanding after Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's success because its leadership believes "it's good to have limitations." The French studio stands as the kind of success story indie devs dream about, with its first title becoming one of 2025's most-revered and most-awarded games just five years after the company's founding. Despite now having all the money and prestige that comes with such a meteoric rise to fame, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer says it doesn't need or want to scale up. View the full article
