It’s been a few years since we heard much from Éric Chahi, the French designer most famous for his work on Another World and 2011’s From Dust. He’s back in 2019, though, with a monster game for the PlayStation 4 called Paper Beast I got the chance to interview Chahi ahead of the game’s announcement…

When it came time to plan his last ever WWE outfit before announcing his retirement at this year’s Wrestlemania, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista knew exactly where to turn: some expert cosplayers and a very big pair of Lebrons. While working on Guardians of the Galaxy a few years back, Bautista heard about…

I ama big fan of Panzer General/Corps, but it’s easy to forget that back in the day, the original turn-based WW2 game had a fantasy spin-off called Fantasy General that was almost as good. Well out of nowhere today we’ve got the announcement that there’s going to be a Fantasy General 2 Slitherine (Panzer Corps’…

This year’s Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo—otherwise known as C2E2—had over 80,000 fans through the door, and here we’re taking a look at some of the amazing cosplay that turned up as well. All the photos (and video!) you’re seeing below are by Mineralblu, while you’ll find both the Instagram handle and the name of…
I think Civilization VI looks amazing, but its slightly cartoony visuals—especially when it comes to the environments—may not be for everyone. If that’s you, and you prefer the more muted colour palette of Civilization V, then today you are in luck. As PCGamesN report, Brian Busatti was an art director on Civ VI, and was…
For all the choice it gives you while playing, once you’re done with Fallout: New Vegas, you’re done. A new mod changes that by not only letting you jump back into the game after the story is over, but seeing your decisions reflected by the world around you as well. As PC Gamer report, FPGE…
When I first saw Islanders last month, I thought it was going to be very chill, but also barely a game. I was only half right. The chill part is definitely right. This is a very light and breezy game, its beautiful colour palette and lo-fi soundtrack making it the perfect thing to boot up,…

Sonic Ether’s Unbelievable Shaders is a shaderpack that adds the kinds of effects we normally associate with ray-tracing— like light that’s able to bounce off other objects—to ol’ blocky-ass Minecraft, and do it while you’re playing in real-time. It’s not technically ray-tracing (he’s actually using path-tracing), but the effects are still incredible. Here are some…
There’s a new animated Dragon Quest movie headed to Japanese theaters in August, and the first full trailer for it has just been released. If you are here for slime, you are in luck, friends. No word on an international theatrical release, but you’d imagine we’ll at least be able to get a subtitled version…

Brick Formations is a company that takes LEGO pieces and somehow manages to put them together and sell them as licensed products, with LEGO having nothing to do with it. It’s a weird place to be in, so it’s nice to see their first products are official, Gearbox-sanctioned Homeworld sets. There are currently sets based…
Microsoft does something similar with its Xbox/PC multiplatform releases, but for some reason this sounds a lot cooler to me: you can now play a game of Civilization VI on your PC, save it, quit, pick up your Switch and keep right on playing the same game. Summoning the will to save your game and…

For the last few years, an ever-growing group of cosplayers have been using April Fool’s day as an excuse to team up all over the internet, pulling off massive showcases of characters like Nurse Joy and Misty. This year, the focus was on Shy Guy. Here’s Nurse Joy, for example: And Misty: The group has…
Game of Thrones was already one of the best board games around, but the release of the game’s third expansion—Mother of Dragons—changes everything. It’s enormous, and adds so much cool and interesting stuff to the experience that it almost feels like an all-new (or at least third edition) of the classic. In case you’re new…
The Glass Staircase is a new release that’s inspired by two things: PS2-era horror games and Italian zombie movies. Specifically, stuff like Silent Hill and Clock Tower from the former, and Burial Grounds: Nights of Terror and House by the Cemetery from the latter. Despite those influences, I’m also getting a strong Alone in the…
