Everything We Learned Today About Borderlands 3

On Wednesday, Gearbox Software showed off the first Borderlands 3 gameplay, playing through an hour’s worth of tutorial and gunfights in new regions of the series’ long-term setting of Pandora, and a place or two beyond. The gameplay displayed a vault’s worth of small new tweaks while still sticking to Borderlands’ art style and core…

Some Players Are Really Excited About Rocket League’s New Icon On Switch

Two years out from its release, the Nintendo Switch’s user interface design remains incredibly minimalist and barebones in comparison to other modern consumer electronics. Maybe that’s why its biggest fans get so excited about especially striking art for game icons, or in this case, icon redesigns like the one Rocket League just got. The icon…

Final Fantasy XII Is Great On Switch

The Final Fantasy XII remake came to Switch this week, and the good news is that it runs pretty well in handheld mode. The even better news is that it’s got some killer features that should probably have been in the game from the start, which sure sucks for anyone who bought it two years…

Days Gone Has Gotten A New Patch Nearly Every Day Since Launch

Days Gone, the Playstation-exclusive zombie (okay, “freaker”) survival game, has received nearly daily tweaks since launch, including a new patch today that corrects an issue introduced in yesterday’s patch.

Ronda Rousey Being In Mortal Kombat 11 Is Bullshit

Ronda Rousey: Trailblazer, UFC Hall of Famer, and WWE star. Ah, I forgot a couple of her accomplishments: She shared an inflammatory conspiracy video about the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre to her millions of Twitter followers and made transmisogynistic and outright asinine comments about transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox. And as of Mortal Kombat 11,…

Overcooked And Edith Finch Are May’s PlayStation Plus Games

May’s PlayStation Plus games are here, and even though it still feels weird that there’s only two of them, they’re not bad. As always, these games are only “free” if you have an active PlayStation Plus account. May’s PlayStation Plus games are: What Remains of Edith Overcooked

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is getting a bunch of Apex Legends-inspired stuff added to its battle royale mode. This includes a new ping system, respawns, and a set of futuristic boots that let you run faster and jump higher. The mode also has a new map based in northern Africa called Sirocco.

Indie Classic World Of Goo Gets Its First PC Update In 10 Years

World of Goo, a very good game about building silly bridges, hasn’t had an update for its original PC version “since 2008 or 2009″. Then, out of nowhere, today it gets not only an update, but a cheeky remaster as well. The update will be rolling out to every platform the game’s available on “over…

My Favorite Katana Zero Character Is This Hapless Goon I Killed Near The Start Of The Game

I’d heard stories about Strong Terry. Whispers. Rumors. Wide-eyed tales of his boldest feats. He’d be the one to bring me down, they all said. The beloved big boy who never skipped leg day would stomp all over me, even though I’m a cold-blooded samurai assassin. I wouldn’t stand a chance. Except then I killed…

CROSSNIQ+ is a tile-matching puzzle game set to come to Switch later this year. It’s got an early 2000s bubblegum aesthetic that really pops and a great soundtrack. As for the puzzle elements and competitive play potential, there’s an earlier build of the game on itch.io you can check out.

Chinese EVE‘s Largest Corporation Is Moving To International Servers

Lately, the EVE community is buzzing about a potentially galaxy-shattering invasion.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Let Me Be A Hot Mess

I think I’m bad at role-playing games. I’m far too impatient, too lusty, too easily distracted. I usually leave a trail of dead party members behind me because I keep missing those five-second side-conversations earlier in the game that somehow butterfly-effect themselves into someone dying. NSFW WARNING: A butt. I lost Lydia somewhere in a…

Ghost Recon Wildlands Is Getting Even More DLC And A Free Weekend

Ubisoft’s love for microtransactions and map defogging missions may be tiresome, but the company’s propensity to support its games for a long time continues to impress. The mega-publisher just announced that Ghost Recon Wildlands, fresh off two years of post-release content additions (and two years of season passes, naturally), is now getting more free missions…

Joyfully, willfully, and with patriotic anger I sally forth to get my bucket head rattled in the hot new getting-medieval battle royale shriekathon Mordhau, live on our Twitch channel.

Korean Pop Idols’ Fashions Are Exploding In The Sims 4

When I was a teen, I expressed my fandom for the bands I loved by cutting pictures out of magazines and pinning them to my walls. Today, fans of Korean boy bands and girl groups express that love by recreating their outfits for The Sims I got into Korean pop hard during the final few…
