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. Whether you believe it's earned or otherwise, over his extensive career, Molyneux has become regarded as an overpromiser, someone who might - before release - say that a game contains features that, for whatever reason, are not present in the final work. Speaking to PCGamesN, as Molyneux and his studio 22cans reveal new strategy game Masters of Albion, the legendary designer says he is sorry for "******** people off." Read the rest of the story...

Fans of The Sims 4 lamenting the lack of competitors on the market can now check out the game's biggest competition as InZoi releases a massive new demo. Developed by Krafton, the ambitious life-simulator made waves when it was first unveiled thanks to its stunning visuals and robust gameplay, and while the early-access release may still be a few months away, those who are interested can get a taste of the experience early. There are a few catches though, so one shouldn't expect a full Sims replacement just yet. View the full article
20 years since it was first released, Half-Life 2 ******** one of the best single-player FPS games in history. Even as someone who's comparatively skeptical when it comes to Valve's work, I can't deny sections like Route Kanal and, of course, Ravenholm. But there's one part of HL2 that I think is genuinely weak, and exposes, in a very contained space, most of the shooter's flaws. Nova Prospekt is samey and overlong, and relies far too much on HL2's often unexciting weapons and gunplay. But thanks to Half-Life 2 RTX, which has just gotten a new trailer, even this dour part of Gordon Freeman's adventure looks suddenly way better. Read the rest of the story...

Image: Samsung Samsung has announced a new Odyssey gaming monitor lineup at gamescom that uses eye-tracking technology to convert 2D visuals into glasses-free 3D. The Odyssey 3D is set for a global release “within this year” according to Samsung, and will allow users to “seamlessly switch between 2D and 3D modes” based on preference — which may tempt folks who are curious about 3D gaming, but apprehensive to commit. The Odyssey 3D is Samsung’s first 3D gaming monitor, having first teased a concept display at CES earlier this year. It’ll be available in 27- or 37-inch sizes and features a 4K QLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, alongside a 1-millisecond response time and support for AMD FreeSync.

******* by the news that Microsoft’s PC and Xbox game Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is also coming to PlayStation 5 after a ******* of timed exclusivity, Xbox adventure game Towerborne has had a release reshuffle of its own. Towerborne, from The Banner Saga developer Stoic, was set to launch on Xbox and PC at the same time and straight into Game Pass day one. However, Towerborne is now a ‘limited time exclusive on Steam,’ according to a new trailer, below. What that means is Towerborne begins Steam Early Access on September 10. In a post on Xbox Wire, Microsoft said an Xbox Game Preview release will follow, with a full, now free-to-play launch planned for 2025. Towerborne will also include cross-progression, so your progress will carry over to whichever platform you prefer to play on. Explaining the decision to go with an early access launch, game director Daniel McLaren pointed to the successful Kickstarter that got The Banner Saga off the ground. “Stoic’s history has always been about interacting with our players, and Kickstarter is the promise of something,” McLaren said. “For Stoic, that worked out very well, and now we’re able to say hey, you don’t have to wait for us this time, we can give you a game right now.” Xbox, PC, and Xbox Game Pass players will immediately feel the benefit of the refinement Towerborne will undergo during the early access ******* and beyond. Microsoft said that as a result of the Steam early access launch, “Xbox, PC, and Xbox Game Pass players will immediately feel the benefit of the refinement Towerborne will undergo during the early access ******* and beyond.” It’s fair to say the announcement of Towerborne Steam first launch and full launch in 2025 has sparked a vociferous discussion among Xbox fans. While some are saying they’re fine with the release strategy, others are pointing to the fact Microsoft has for years marketed Towerborne as a Microsoft-published Xbox game and now it’s set to launch on Steam first, disappointing yet again what’s left of the company’s core console audience. Of course, this all taps into the growing sense that Xbox console exclusives are no longer a priority for Microsoft’s gaming business, with more games set to launch on rival platforms and an upcoming push into the mobile space with an app store of its own. While Microsoft executives continue to stress the importance of consoles to Xbox, and indeed have promised next-generation consoles and heavily teased an Xbox handheld for the future, the overall strategy is clear to see. All this at a time when Microsoft cut an eye-watering 1,900 staff from its gaming business this year, and shuttered a number of studios amid plummeting sales of Xbox Series X and S.
