Baldur's Gate 3 players looking to show off their love for the beloved series Critical Role can now do so with some exceptionally well-crafted items pulled directly from the show. Given that both are inspired by and make use of the rules of Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, it makes sense that some creative fans would find a way to unite Matt Mercer's ever-popular campaign with Larian Studios' RPG. While plenty of mods already exist that incorporate characters and locations from Critical Role, this creation is more subtle and, arguably, much more fun. View the full article

Command and Conquer games stormed the ********* software sales chart in March. Publisher EA released a selection of classic games on Steam last month, including a large number of titles in the real-time strategy franchise as part of the Command & Conquer The Ultimate Collection bundle. Command and Conquer games took half of the top 10 places on the ********* software chart in March, and 11 spots in top 20, led by Command & Conquer Generals at No.4. Read More...

Palworld finally unveiled players' first look at the long-awaited Arena mode that will allow Trainers to battle it out by sending their team of Pals into the fray. While the game mode had already been announced in Pocket Pair's roadmap for the open-world survival game, the studio parted the curtain on how it'll function, spotlighting a system that, as can be expected, looks very similar to Pokémon. Given that combat already plays a major role in Palworld's core gameplay loop, the decision to add in an Arena mode simply feels like an extension of the already-existing mechanics.

Look, Barbie was great and all, but maybe we made a mistake giving it so much of our hard-earned money. After Mattel unleashed IP *****, actor-producer Margot Robbie has been on a rampage, first securing an adaptation of The Sims (probably a good fit) and now turning her sights to... Monopoly, which sounds like a much ******* sell in today's climate. Via Variety, we learned on April 10 that Robbie's production company LuckyChap will be producing "a live-action feature film based on the ubiquitous real estate-inspired board game" alongside Lionsgate. Hasbro Entertainment, of course, will be involved in the adaptation effort. The idea of an adaptation of Monopoly has been floating around for a while now if you can remember, and in late 2023, Lionsgate extended its development rights to the board game with its purchase of eOne (previously owned by Hasbro). To the surprise of no one, Monopoly ******** one of the world's most popular board games, receiving countless iterations over the years, spin-off products, merchandising, and highly successful video games such as Monopoly Go! on mobile. In fact, Monopoly has been around since 1935, which is a shocking fact for anyone who's not really into board game history. Read more View the full article
2023 was one of the best years in the video game industry, thanks to the release of some incredible games. One of them was the ***** Space remake, and its success sparked hope for a remake of the sequel. Unfortunately, that hope is about to vanish. On April 10, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said an Electronic Arts spokesperson shut down rumors about a ***** Space 2 remake. There’s supposedly “no validity to this story,” and people close to the project confirmed the statement. View the full article
Larian Studios may now be synonymous with the critically-acclaimed Baldur’s Gate 3, but with the Swedish studio hanging up its cape on the DnD spin-off, it’s returning to its roots—while trying something entirely new. Before Larian took the reins on BG3, the studio made its name with Divinity, the tactical RPG series. The last entry, Divinity: Original Sin 2, launched in 2017 to a glowing reception, and while we know the developer has another entry in the works, there’s a long wait ahead. View the full article
Alongside the release of the new Democratic Detonation Warbond in Helldivers 2, the warriors of Super Earth may now improve their Super Destroyer through the massively destructive level four upgrades. These modules include well-deserved buffs to little-used weapons, though their massive cost leaves them out-of-range for the near future. Administering the highest level of democracy will take some time. Screenshot by Dot Esports On April 11, alongside the Democratic Detonation Warbond, Helldivers 2 released its first expansion to the Super Destroyer Ship Module system since the game came out. The level four upgrades for the Super Destroyer cost 150-200 Samples, 150 Rare Samples, and 15-20 Super Samples apiece. In addition, they are the first upgrades to cost Requisition Slips, costing between 20,000 and 25,000 of the game’s most basic currency. As a result, they are extremely useful, though they are a bit more targeted than some players might like. The newest upgrades are as follows: View the full article
[/url] The Frankenstein's monster of a GamePad hack responsible for the creation of Trimming the Herbs. [credit: Ahoyo ] Last month, the Super Mario Maker community was rocked by the shocking admission that the game's last uncleared level—an ultra-hard reflex test named "Trimming the Herbs" (TTH)—had been secretly created and uploaded using the assistance of automated, tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) techniques back in 2017. That admission didn't stop Super Mario Maker streamer Sanyx from finally pulling off a confirmed human-powered clear of the level last Friday, just days before Nintendo's final shutdown of the Wii U's online servers Sunday would have made that an impossibility. But while "Trimming the Herbs" itself was solved in the nick of time, the mystery of the level's creation remained at least partially unsolved. Before TTH creator Ahoyo admitted to his TAS exploit last month, the player community at large didn't think it was even possible to precisely automate such pre-recorded inputs on the Wii U. [Hidden Content] The first confirmed clear of Trimming the Herbs by a human. Now, speaking to Ars, Ahoyo has finally explained the console hacking that went into his clandestine TAS so many years ago and opened up about the physical and psychological motivations for the level's creation. He also discussed the remorse he feels over what ended up being a years-long ****** on the community, which is still struggling with frame-perfect input timing issues that seem inherent to the Wii U hardware.

Brace yourself. ***** Space, well, it appears to be ***** again. Yep, EA's reportedly put the series "on hold" for the second time, though, it does at least seem like some ideas for a new entry were briefly considered early last year, though none of them were actually given permission to become a thing. This news follows a chain of events which began with Giant *****'s Jeff Grubb reporting that a ***** Space 2 remake was in development, before being canceled. EA quickly responded to that, sending a statement to IGN which said "We don't normally comment on rumours, but there is no validity to this story." Now, following some digging, it seems that the remake was one of a couple of ideas that were briefly explored, before EA opted to put the series on pause. That last part's according to Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who's reported that EA elected to put ***** Space back on hiatus "as early as last spring", with any desires from developers to make a new entry apparently being "derailed after sales of the remake missed the company’s expectations".

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has stealth dropped new ship upgrades alongside the new Premium Warbond, Democratic Detonation. Six new ship upgrades are now in the Playstation 5 and PC third-person shooter, one for each section of the ship module. Helldivers 2 new ship modules:Superior Packing Methodology: Resupply boxes refill support weapons with the maximum number of carriable magazines.Atmospheric Monitoring: Orbital HE barrage spread reduced by 15%.XXL Weapons Bay: Eagle stratagems that drop multiple ****** will drop one additional *****(s).Enhanced Combustion: ***** damage from stratagems increased by 25%.Circuit Expansion: Lightning arcs, fired from weapons and turrets, jump to one additional ******.Blast Absorption: Sentries take 50% less damage from explosions. Let’s dig into the details here and offer some initial thoughts. 15% less spread on barrages may convince some players to give them another shot (they’re considered weak in the current meta because they’re not focused). Superior Packing Methodology may end up essential for players who use the Recoilless and Spear support weapons. And Enhanced Combustion is going to cause all sorts of chaos with the already buffed flamethrower. Circuit Expansion looks like it could be fun, too. These new ship upgrades require the previous upgrade in each module to already be unlocked before you can buy them with samples, so only pliers who have mixed out their ship upgrades and have plenty of samples on hand will be able to test these out straight away. For everyone else, the grind continues. Arrowhead has a habit of releasing new content for Helldivers 2 without telling players. It secretly dropped a number of new enemies into the game, letting players discover them for themselves. Now it’s done the same for ship upgrades. This one doesn’t come as much of a surprise, though, given Arrowhead teased new ship upgrades were on the way in the most lore friendly way possible after a bug spilled the beans.

Helldivers 2 has become one of the surprise hits of 2024 since launching in February, topping the charts on Steam and reportedly selling around three million copies. According to at least one analyst, it's still growing. Check out IGN's Helldivers 2 review to find out why it's going down so well. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

The legally distinct Cheerios in Tiny Tires, the upcoming miniature racing game that looks to be a loving homage to Micro Machines, have their own physics. This delights me. So does the milk, actually, leaving trails on the checked linoleum tablecloth as the infinitely minute driver tries to compensate for its skidding effect on those titular Tiny Tires. There’s pool ******, too! And floppy disk ramps! Floppy disks were probably still useful the last time anyone thought about Micro Machines, but now I’m reminded of it, I’m suddenly very excited again! Read more View the full article
Six years ago, you may have grabbed yourself Destiny 2’s Whisper of the Worm when the secret exotic mission The Whisper was first released.

Stardew Valley may have just received one of its biggest content drops in the form of the 1.6 Update but the fun isn't ending there as ConcernedApe announces that another patch is on the way. Having launched in 2016, Stardew Valley has proven to be a resounding success for its creator in no small part due to his work in maintaining the game with extensive post-launch support. The dedication and love ConcernedApe has shown to the farming RPG and its massive community has prompted many to question whether he ever takes any time off. View the full article

Never Alone, a quiet, snowy adventure set in the Alaskan arctic wilderness, won a Bafta in 2014, and at the Triple-I Initiative stream last night we got a glimpse of the upcoming sequel, Never Alone 2. It's still the tale of Nuna and Fox journeying through aforementioned cold tundra, and like the first game is inspired by Indigenous Iñupiaq storytelling traditions, but this time the story unfolds in co-op. No release date, but we have a teaser trailer for your viewing pleasure. Read more View the full article
Blumhouse is one of the busiest Hollywood studios at the moment, and it all comes down to its approach to keeping budgets under control and always being open to surprising collaborations. This has allowed the studio to reimagine a number of iconic horror properties, and The Blair Witch series might be next in line. On April 10, it was announced that Blumhouse and Lionsgate would team up to make a new Blair Witch movie, the first since 2016's follow-up directed by Godzilla x Kong's Adam Wingard. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it marks the beginning of "a multifilm deal between the studios that will see Blumhouse reimagine horror classics from Lionsgate." The news arrives after Imaginary (released in early March), a collaboration with Lionsgate, made $38 million worldwide on a measly production budget of around $10 million and far less spent on marketing. Lionsgate has also been looking to make easy money out of reasonably budgeted movies, whether they're action, horror, or something else, so this new alliance makes sense for both parties.

Helldivers 2 has its next premium warbond, called Democratic Detonation, and there’s an explosive theme with this one. Democratic Detonation adds new weapons, including an Exploding Crossbow and Grenade ******* that are sure to cause as much damage to teammates as they are the automatons and terminids. However, there is new armor that helps with the inevitable increase in explosive damage across the battlefield. As with previous Premium Warbonds, Democratic Detonation costs 1,000 Super Credits. While you can earn Super Credits from gameplay and Warbonds, you can also buy them for real-world money. Via the in-game shop, 1,000 Super Credits costs $9.99. Premium Warbonds do not expire, so you can work your way through them at your own pace safe in the knowledge their items will remain available. Here’s a list of everything in Helldivers 2's new Democratic Detonation Warbond, per Arrowhead: Firepower BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle Deliver righteous judgement to your enemies with accuracy. This armour-penetrating ******** rifle is best used against smaller groups. R-36 Eruptor Rifle Keep your distance… this bolt-action rifle fires jet-assisted shells that explode shrapnel in all directions upon impact. All directions. Even your face. CB-9 Exploding Crossbow Kaboom! Enjoy powerful exploding bolts that dish out max damage upon direct impact. Gravity must be accounted for when aiming. Secondary Weapons & Utility Booster G-123 Thermite Grenade This little beauty can stick to surfaces before burning up to a toasty 2000°C. GP-31 Grenade ******* Does what it says on the label – a ******* that fires grenades. Don’t forget to reload between shots though. Expert Extraction Pilot Booster Need to get out of a jam fast? This booster lowers the time it takes for the extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon. Home in time for dinner. Armor CE-27 Ground Breaker Medium Armor. “The ground is just another obstacle that hasn’t yet been cleared.” – SGM Janet Jones, Excavation Corps Founder. CE-07 Demolition Specialist Light Armor. Originally worn by Lunar terraformers, this suit can withstand rapid changes in pressure, heat, and personal velocity. FS-55 Devastator Heavy Armor. Domestic versions of this armour allow colonial farmers to safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece. Of course, always accessorise your choice of armour with brand-new capes – Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, or Freedom’s Tapestry – as you mix and match your lethal loadout of liberation.

One of the most unexpected new big-screen projects announced in 2024 (and there have been quite a few so far) is 28 Years Later, the long-awaited follow-up to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Original screenwriter Alex Garland and director Danny Boyle are back on board, but surprise, surprise: They have plans for an entire trilogy of sequels, and Nia DaCosta (Candyman sequel) is circling the second one. Yes, it's way better to introduce the filmmaker as Candyman's Nia DaCosta rather than The Marvels' Nia DaCosta, since, uh, Marvel Studios' latest movie wasn't very good and cratered incredibly hard at the box office. On top of script-related issues, the director's touch was nowhere to be seen in the final movie, so we're willing to chalk it up to the studio's recent struggles and mismanagement. Also: her Candyman sequel/reboot of sorts rocked. Deadline shared this news on April 10, and while her recruitment sounds very likely, a deal hasn't been closed yet. But you know, this is just the usual, frail Hollywood process of onboarding hot talent. As for the question of why Sony Pictures is already looking at a helmer for the second movie, it's all about lining up DaCosta's vision with Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's as early in the process as possible so they don't end up with a Star Wars sequels situation. Smart move. Read more View the full article

Warning: Major spoilers for the first series of Amazon's Fallout TV Show lie ahead. Ok, so, Amazon's Fallout TV Show is finally here, having dropped either on the evening on April 10, or in the middle of the night early on April 11, depending on where you live. Since all of the episodes dropped at once, as modern series are often wont to do, some people have naturally binged all the way through it, or at least a good way through it. As those who've made it all the way through to the finale, likely with bags under their eyes, have discovered, the show ends with a bit of set up for a potential season two, with a certain location being the big thing that you'll probably get pretty excited about.
