Where Adventure Games Meet Brutal Survival Sims

So Kônalooks pretty interesting. It’s part-adventure game, part-survival sim. It’s got Oculus Rift support. And it’s about a 1970s murder mystery in the freezing Canadian north. The player, hired to investigate the vandalism of a rich industrialist’s home, arrives to find that not only is his client missing, but the entire town – including the…

Rule, Britannia! And Steal Some Fish-Man’s Eggs…

Clockwork Empires is what happens when you take a game like The Settlers, or Banished, and make it about Victorian Britons, fish people and steampunk. The game was released on Steam’s Early Access this week, so I figured I’d check it out. It’s very early at the moment: your options are severely limited, and even…

Yo, GameCubes Are Selling For $20 At GameStop

I have six inputs in the back of my TV. I do not have a permanent space for my Xbox One. I do have one for my GameCube. That says a lot about Nintendo’s little system that could, which is now temporarily back in stock at GameStop, with refurbished consoles selling for $20 (thanks nrvalleytime).

Hotline Miami Action Figure Dials B For Badass

This 1/6 scale (so around 12″) figure of Hotline Miami’s Jacket is pretty much everything you could ask for in a Hotline Miami action figure. Nice sneakers, rubber masks and an assortment of brutal weaponry. Given the fact HM is an indie game, this isn’t the work of a bigger studio like Hot Toys or…

Space. The Final Frontier. Of Good Times.

Reminder: Elite, Star Citizen and EVE Valkyrie aren’t the only promising space shooters in development. There’s an underdog pinging away on the fringes of the scene, and that underdog is Enemy Starfighter. It may not have the money or features that the bigger games do, but it does have style, and also a welcome focus…

Indie Studio Vents: “Gamers Aren’t Very Nice People”

British indie studio Puppy Games, who are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment, have posted a long and heartfelt essay/rant on their site about the people who buy (or don’t buy) their video games. Don’t let its aggressive leads fool you. It’s a very good read. Mostly because it does…

​Which Diablo III Class Is Best?

Current-day Diablo III is a pretty different game from the one that launched back in 2012. But for all the changes, one thing remains the same: You still have to choose a character class before you play. Back when Diablo III first came out, I wasn’t surewhich class to pick. Should I be a monk?…

What If Spelunky Was A Fantasy RPG…

Vagante, the fun but hard-as-heck dungeon crawler I played and enjoyed back in June, has been making some progress. And given what a charming little game it was when I first struggled to get through it, that’s a good thing. It looks like the folks atNuke Nine have been hard at work! You can check…

Years It’d ACTUALLY Take to Visit Each Planet in No Man’s Sky This past week, No Man’s Sky developer, Hello Games, mentioned that it uses a 64-bit seed to generate its planets. That got picked up by a few folks and they began saying things like “Seeing everything in No Man’s Sky will take over…

Oh No, Someone Put Nic Cage’s Face All Over Halo

Fun fact: Nic Cage’s face can improve everything—including, yes, Halo. Just don’t expect things to feel as dramatic when you see Nic-Cage-Cortana talking to Nic-Cage-Master-Chief. This mod, which replaces all textures with Nic Cage’s face, is pretty hilarious—as you can see in this video by Gunner: The thing that happens around the three minute mark?…

Konami Approved, Then Canceled Metal Gear Fan Remake, Devs Say

Back in May, a bunch of Metal Gear-loving modders thought they’d achieved the impossible: according to a team member, they’d gotten permission from Konami to proceed on an up-rezzed re-make of the original 1987 Metal Gear game. Work was coming along nicely, too, with pro developers on board to help. But, now, the project is…

I Just Spent Two Weeks Being A Space Commander

“Don’t be That VR Guy,” I keep thinking. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks playing Elite: Dangerous, a PC space-sim that works with the newest Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. It’s been pretty amazing, and I’m having a hard time not being That VR Guy. You know That VR Guy, right? Lately, it seems…
