Don’t Bother Walking Across Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is a big game, so big that you’re given a horse and giant boat to help you get across it. So it’s best to take Ubisoft’s advice and use them (and fast travel) to get around rather than trying to walk (and swim) your way across the map like this guy. As…

Bowsette Is Now A Final Boss Battle

We’re still doing Bowsette stuff? OK, here’s the end of New Super Mario Bros Wii, modified by StupidMarioBros1Fan to replace Bowser with a giant, fire-breathing Bowsette. Overall it’s the same boss battle, but a number of changes have been made. The new model, a “heavily edited version of Peach’s model from Mario Party 9″, has…

It’s Easy To Forget CrossCode Isn’t A Real MMORPG

I spent five minutes trying to take the perfect screenshot for the top of this post on Radical Fish Games’ CrossCode. First my party members wouldn’t get into position. Then other players kept running through the scene. These are typical massively multiplayer online RPG problems, only CrossCode isn’t a real MMORPG. In development for ages…

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey‘s Giant Boar Is A Pain In The Ass

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s early adventures are easy enough: beat off bandits, dive into a cave, tackle a tough mercenary.

How To Play Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Like An Actual Assassin

One could be forgiven for thinking Assassin’s Creed Odyssey was an action-packed mix of 300 and Wonder Woman, all swinging battle axes and dudes getting kicked off cliffs. But the word “Assassin” is right there in the title, and it is more than possible to play as a stealthy killer. In fact, it’s really fun.…

Google’s Project Stream Is Impressive So Far

There’s something a little funky about playing a game like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in your internet browser. It almost feels obscene, like you’re getting away with something that shouldn’t be legal. Google’s Project Stream might have some obstacles on the way to global dominance, but it’s still pretty damn impressive. Project Stream, which allows users…

Streamer Trihex Apologizes For Homophobic Slur After Twitch Suspends His Channel [UPDATE]

Even if you haven’t heard of Twitch streamer and speedrunner Trihex, you’ve almost certainly seen him. He’s the face of the near-ubiquitous “Trihard” emote, a chat icon people use both in good fun and, unfortunately, to mock people of color. As of now, while the emote remains on Twitch, Trihex himself has been temporarily banned.…

Spider-Man, One Month Later

Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 doesn’t have an online mode, or microtransactions. For a game of its size, it’s gotten surprisingly few patches since it first came out. Still, it turned out to be one of the more exciting releases of the year and had an active first month. A few days before the game came…

I’m Deleting This Damn Dragon Game That Keeps Asking For More Of My Money

I’m deleting Merge Dragons from my phone the second I publish this article. The urge I have to keep it is the main reason it’s getting erased. I don’t want to play a fun game that keeps pleading for more of my money even after I’ve already paid to play it. Merge Dragons is an…

The Week In Games: Scary Tactical Operations 

It’s the beginning of the Spooky Month, and that means we’ve got a Goosebumps game and Luigi’s Mansion for the 3DS. Also Disgaea and Black Ops 4 for those of us who prefer less spooky games. We’re right in the middle of the autumnal avalanche of video games, and we’re experiencing a mix of remasters…
