We don't write much about board and paper games around these parts, not since Cardboard Children was sent to the dissolving pits. I still feel that roleplay and strategy gaming has a home here on RPS even when it's not digital though, and doubly so when it's the work of our former comrades. Enter Gold Teeth, a tabletop RPG "of piracy & occult horror" which just cleared its Kickstarter funding goal, and which is designed by Marsh Davies and Jim Rossignol (RPS in peace).

Enlarge / I hope you like radial menus, because you'll be looking at a lot of them. [/url] Age of Mythology: Retold brings a lot of the usual advancements that you'd expect for a reboot of both the increasingly dated 2002 original game and its previous reboot: 2014's Extended Edition, which is still perfectly playable and available on Steam. The newest version of this real-time strategy classic comes with the requisite improvements in graphics and user interface, making the whole game much easier to look at and parse at a glance. And while the updated voice acting isn't going to win any awards, neither is the stilted, bare bones dialogue that those actors are working with (which seems faithful to the original game, for better or worse). But Retold does add one thing that I wasn't really expecting in a modern real-time strategy game—full support for a handheld controller. Developers have been trying to make RTS games work without the traditional mouse and keyboard since the days of SNES Populous and Starcraft 64, usually with limited success. Microsoft hasn't given up on the dream, though, fully integrating controller support for Age of Mythology: Retold into both the PC version (which we sampled) and, obviously, the Xbox Series X|S release. The result is definitely the best version of an RTS controller interface that I've tried and proof that a modern controller can be a perfectly functional option for the genre. In the end, though, there are just a few too many annoyances associated with a handheld controller to make it the preferred way to play a game like this.

We’re just one week away from the release of the Khaos Reigns expansion for Mortal Kombat 1, which brings a new cinematic story mode alongside a second Kombat Pack that features Ghostface from the Scream franchise. And the expansion’s launch trailer included a particularly exciting new fatility. Much like the reveal trailer a few months prior, this launch trailer only offered small glimpses into not only Ghostface, but also guest characters Conan the Barbarian and the T-1000 from Terminator 2. But the trailer did end with a preview of one of Ghostface’s fatalities. It starts off with the ******* stabbing their victim in the stomach, causing them to stumble backwards. Unfortunately for them, they bump into a second Ghostface ******* and the two team up to cut their victim to shreds, laughing maniacally at their demise. Since the Scream franchise is famous for having more than one person be the titular ******* in each installment, this is spot-on representation for the series. View the full article
