Intrepid modder TemplarGFX has overhauled Aliens: Colonial Marines, taking it from middling shooter and legendary disappointment to competent FPS that does some justice to its source material (I fear the disappointment might be permanent). TemplarGFX’s ACM Overhaul, on ModDB, focuses on rejigging the xenomorph AI to make them a credible threat. Headshots are essential, acid blood is a...
Epistory – Typing Chronicles is a game that mixes typing (think Typing of the Dead, or Mavis Beacon) with action-adventurey roleplaying. Also, you play as a character riding on the back of a fox for some reason. It turns out this is enough to pique my interest. You’re fighting insects in an origami world, in...
It seems like only two months and a bit ago that Endless Legend developer Amplitude announced a new expansion, and in a shocking twist, that expansion is out on Thursday April 7. Shifters makes winter a more involved affair, and introduces a new faction, among other stuff. It looks pretty meaty, as detailed on the Ampli-blog here. Established Endless...
Phil liked Superhot, but his primary complaint was that it had people in instead of trucks. I mean, I haven’t read his review, but that’s surely what dragged it down to an 84. Phil is probably over the moon about Super Truck, then, because it is Superhot, but with trucks. (I wonder if that’s where they got the...
April 1 is the absolute best day for a spot of leaked game footage to come out, so you’ll want to take this video with a heap of salt (alternate link here, if that’s been taken down, and I’ve embedded another video below). It purports to show new footage of BioWare’s upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda—footage created to show...
An update to The Division that went live in March changed the game in a bunch of good ways, and one that, for some players, was very much the opposite of good. After it deployed, complaints began rolling in that high-end backpacks were disappearing from inventories, and worse, that players were being locked out of...
Koei Tecmo announced today that Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 is coming to Steam on July 5. “But wait!” you say. “Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 is already on Steam!” And yes, you are correct—but that one only supports Japanese, while this, my friends, is the English version. Romance of the Three Kingdoms...
We said back in March that the upcoming multiplayer FPS Escape From Tarkov is “taking gun customization to absurd heights.” The game’s gun selection is extensive, and each weapon can be broken down into remarkably detailed components. You can even strip them down and watch the internal mechanisms working as they fire, although that’s not...
Warhammer: End Times—Vermintide was one of the happier surprises of 2015. It earned an Editor’s Choice award in our review—which I most certainly did not see coming—and gamers clearly liked it, too, to the tune of more than 500,000 copies sold. “We are really happy with the sales so far. We reached half a million...
Virtual reality is finally here, with the Oculus Rift shipping to its first customers earlier this week and the HTC Vive coming on April 5. To make sure everything works as it should, the graphics card manufacturers have put out VR ready drivers. Nvidia has put out its GeForce Game Ready 364.72 WHQL drivers that are optimized...
