Man, hide-and-seek has gotten daaaaaark. BadBlood is hide-and-seek re-imagined. Basically, it’s hide-and-hunt. It’s meant to be played split-screen and—in an interesting twist—encourages screen cheating. However, a twist on top of and within a twist: the screen twists, creating different orientations for you and your opponent. What was that sound? Was that a neck snapping, or…

Serious question. I mean, this recreation of Half-Moon Mill is something I should be able to click on and have in my house, not simply admire from afar. Then again, an actual LEGO set would skimp on the lush fully-modelled terrain. It was built by Pieter Dennison, and you can see more of his work…

Football Manager, a time-consuming game about running a football team, is very hands-on. It does, however, have a mode that lets you simulate seasons in case you want to skip a few. This is the tale of Lorf_Yimzo, who skipped a lot more than a few. Using Football Manager 15, he set the game on…
Usually when Riot tweaks stuff in League of Legends, they do so strictly because of balance considerations. Maybe a character is too weak in one area, or too strong in another. Today the developer took a surprising approach, saying that it’s reworking four middling champs because they aren’t interesting The four specific champions being changed…
Blackwake is a multiplayer FPS game all about naval battles. You have a crew, and you have a captain. The question is: can you come together and work as a team? Really, you just gotta watch this trailer. It’s the best Kickstarter pitch I’ve seen in ages: So, to recap: You and your crew are…
Let’s be real: Five Nights at Freddy’s games are not pretty. That’s part of the charm.

Today Riot revealed a buttload of changes it’s making to defensive items in League of Legends, starting with the upcoming 5.16 patch. That’s far enough off that we can’t say for sure how the tweaks will affect the game, but it looks like a lot of core pieces of armor are getting nerfed. So long…
