The weekend is for taking a long nap after E3. Also taking a break from hearing about video games to actually play some. I am so pumped for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, readers, because The New Order freaking ruled. (I even wrote a bloga while back about BJ [and other dudes] taking a bath.)…
Klei’s next game is going to be Griftlands, an “RPG where everything is negotiable.” They say it’ll be out late 2017 or early 2018.
The weekend is for press conferences about video games. Also, maybe playing some video games, but probably just hearing about new ones. To be honest, I will be spending the weekend arranging a complex multi-monitor setup to cover E3 press conferences in all their glory, so I will probably not have much time for games.…
Monument Valley 2 is now available on iTunes. We loved the original geography-twisting mobile game. Check out more information and the trailer here.
The weekend is for eating those tasty yogurts you’ve been so excited to eat that you keep saving them, even though you could totally eat the ones you have and then buy more. Also, video games. Last weekend I bought Battlegrounds, because several friends who are much more nervous than me seem to be able…
Tokyo 42’s cute aesthetic belies a murderous underbelly. It’s a pretty violent game, but look at all the tiny people running away. In the new video game Tokyo 42 your character has been framed for murder, and you must delve into the criminal underbelly to find out why. Your character turns assassin to get in…

Impact Winter is a snowy, post-apocalyptic survival game that came out last week for PC. Some of its design decisions are bizarre, and a lot of the game is downright broken, but I’ve been playing it obsessively anyway. Development studio Mojo Bones released Impact Winter on Steam through publisher Bandai Namco after an unsuccessful 2014…
The weekend is for having a three day weekend, the perfect length of weekend for doing the requisite weekend tasks of social stuff, chores, and doing absolutely nothing. (All weekends should be three days weekends. Just saying.) Also, video games. I’ve been playing Impact Winter, which is a survival game with a lot of snow,…

The open beta for Gwent, CD Projekt Red’s standalone version of The Witcher 3‘s card game, starts today for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In my time with the closed beta I found the game to move a little too fast sometimes, but overall it’s a richer, deeper take on the minigame my Geralt lost all…

The weekend is for packing because you’re going on a solo vacation to Iceland next week, which is exciting and a little scary! But planning is stressful, so probably video games. I’m finally done with my review of Prey, but I’m really excited to play it again a lot slower so I can check out all…
Early on in Prey, I accidentally killed a main character. The game let me keep playing until I lost my nerve and reloaded. Later, I jerry-rigged my way off the space station of Talos I well before I was supposed to. Prey let me get there. It figured I knew what I was doing. At…
2011 indie RPG To The Moon is available for mobile devices today, for iOS and Android. If you missed it the first time on computers, now’s your chance.
Prey is a tense, moody game that makes you distrust everyday objects because they might secretly be monsters. Whether you’re just launching the game or well into your exploration of Talos I, here are some tips for making it through. Don’t worry about playing the previous Prey I never played the original Prey, and that…
