Ark: Survival Evolved has been delayed to August 29, the developers announced over the weekend. It was originally set to come out August 8.
The weekend is for going to a new laundromat for the first time. Will it be terrible? Tolerable? Also, video games. So every weekend I decide I’m going to play some Witcher, and then I get busy with other games and I don’t play The Witcher. It cannot stand, readers. The Witcher must be played.…
Neo Scavenger doesn’t look like much. In a world of visually beautiful, sprawling survival sims like The Long Dark and Ark, it hardly stands out. But it’s one of the best survival game out there, and now you can play it on mobile. Developed by Blue Bottle Games, Neo Scavenger came to PCs in 2014.…

I’m excited to see Just Cause 3 on August’s PS Plus lineup, since I always meant to check it out. There’s also Downwell for the Vita with crossbuy on PS4, bringing my total ways to play Downwell to three, which is not nearly enough. Remember, these games are only free if you have an active…

The weekend is for caving to the pressure and buying an air conditioner even though the thought of installing one is terrifying. Also, video games. I have a bunch of games I have to check out this weekend that you’ll hear about next week. I’m also finally going to make some time to check out…
The weekend is for assembling IKEA furniture in your un-air conditioned apartment, but you live alone now, so at least you don’t have to wear clothes. Also, video games. I’ve recently gotten on a Spelunky kick, because it makes a nice break between unpacking boxes from my recent move. I wasn’t that good at it…

The weekend is for packing to move into a new house! So probably not video games. But probably actually video games, because packing is boring. I spent all my money in The Witcher 3‘s Blood and Wine expansion on Geralt’s house, which is pretty similar to my current real-life situation. So I need to grind…
The weekend is for having a long weekend, which is lots and lots of time to play video games. I have yet to throw all my money at the Steam summer sale, so I will probably do that. And I shall, as ever, play The Witcher 3. I’m also going to tool around some more…

Secret World Legends launches today, a free-to-play reimagining of Funcom’s 2012 Lovecraftian MMO The Secret World. Secret World Legends streamlines a lot of the game’s core systems to make it more action-oriented and player-friendly. These changes let the story, always the game’s best feature, take center stage. I came late to The Secret World, in…
The weekend is for Luke Plunkett reminding you that you can finish the story in The Witcher 3 but still have more Witcher to play, so you should just do that already. So I’m going to finish the story in Blood and Wine, which I’ve been putting off because I don’t want to run out…
