A decade later, Shovel Knight is one of the best modern interpretations of old-school game design I've ever seen. The 2D platformer is vibrant, a joy to control, and stuffed with so many free updates that your eyes start to pop out of your smooth blue helmet. I own it on almost every platform I have access to, and developer Yacht Club Games has just taken my wallet for another ride, as a complete Steam revamp of the modern classic is on the way with Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope DX.

There's still very little information to go on about what developer Larian Studios plans to follow up Baldur's Gate 3 with, but at least one clue to the next project is apparently already within reach. Although the potential for a fourth Baldur's Gate game or DLC is obvious, Larian is choosing to go in a different direction, with the studio working on multiple games that have nothing to do with the Dungeons & Dragons license. Although it may be some time yet before they're revealed, that certainly won't stop speculation about what could be coming next. View the full article
When Fallout 4 was released, it was met with its fair share of push back from some fans of the franchise who claimed it restricted their ability to roleplay. It was felt that the dialogue options did not accurately reflect what they wanted their character to say, while others felt too confined by the main storyline. Granted, unlike previous entries in the Fallout series, roleplaying in Fallout 4 can be a little trickier, but by getting creative, there is still a lot of fun to be had. View the full article

New Genshin Impact leaks about Natlans Pyro Archon have started to emerge and, this time, instead of leaning into the characters alleged description, the rumors talk about key points in the story. Officially, the Pyro Archon is shrouded in mystery and their whereabouts are unknown for over 1,000 years in fact, it is unknown if the character called Murata is still the reigning deity in the Nation of Pyro. Earlier this year, however, some rumors started describing the Pyro Archons leaked design in Genshin Impact, hinting at a Carnaval-inspired outfit. View the full article
Before he owned videogames growing up, FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki loved tabletop RPGs and their source books full of quests and monsters. It's not hard to see that passion reflected in any of the games he's designed at FromSoftware, but Elden Ring particularly so: Its sprawling map echoes the kinds I loved to pore over and draw myself (poorly) as a ****, from Lord of the Rings' Middle-earth to Warcraft's Azeroth. Elden Ring also seems to directly connect back to the RPGs of the '80s with its skeleton-filled catacombs, like tabletop-style dungeons ripped straight from the pages of an AD&D campaign...

Noir is an underserved genre in gaming. We've had games like L.A. Noire, Discworld Noir, and the first two Max Payne games giving us some hard boiled goodness but overall noir is thin on the ground. You'd think the types of tales about detectives and ********** circling each other as they fall into darkness would be more popular, but alas they're relatively rare. Thankfully some developers are working on adding a little darkness and cynicism into the world and Fallen Aces is counted among that number. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

One of the affected Intel processors. | Photo by Tom Warren / The Verge For months, Intel’s highest-end desktop gaming processors have had a strange tendency to occasionally make games ****** — and despite what you might have seen earlier today, Intel says it doesn’t have a final fix for its 13th and 14th Gen Intel Core i9 “Raptor Lake” and “Raptor Lake S” chips just yet.

What's the scariest game you've ever played? Resident Evil, when the dogs first jump through the window. Silent Hill, and the opening section with the chain-link fence and the wheelchair. There's Amnesia, Alien Isolation, the Ravenholm section from Half-Life 2. But there's one forgotten PC game, from the same golden era as Myst, Riven, and Monkey Island, that is perhaps creepier - or at least stranger - than any other. Filled with esoteric and fastidiously detailed artwork, outlandish theories about the nature of reality, and one of the bleakest narratives in game history, after 30 years of silence, Drowned **** has suddenly resurfaced.

It must be very difficult to be making a follow up game for a series that's become legendary. You can't just make more of the same, because times have changed and so have tasted. You can't alter too much because you'll alienate the core fanbase who've been with you since the start. That's the unenviable position Dragon Age The Veilguard finds itself in and it's taking some bold moves that might pay off - or might make people very ****** indeed. Read the rest of the story...
