The folk at Larian Studios are working on Divinity: Original Sin II, but they’re also working on amusing videos such as the one embedded above. Ostensibly an update on the sequel’s development, CEO Swen Vicke also takes the opportunity to gently rib the fashion sense of people working in the VR industry. Oh, and apparently there’s...
Here’s a sentence I never expected I’d have the opportunity to type: The new Baldur’s Gate RPG Siege of Dragonspear is now live. The release date was announced at the beginning of March so this isn’t a surprise, but even so, it’s great to lay eyes on a new Baldur’s Gate trailer. And to hear...
Dark Souls games are difficult, yes, but they’re also amazing horror games, albeit with a dark fantasy veneer. The trailer above isn’t necessarily in keeping with the ‘spirit’ of Dark Souls 3, but it’s thoroughly enjoyable to imagine Miyazaki’s world as a straight-to-video B-grade horror film. Oh, and there are some grief glimpses of gameplay footage...
An EA marketing survey may have let slip plot details for Mass Effect Andromeda. ‘May’ because this comes from screengrabs posted by NeoGAF user anexanhume. For one thing, they’d be easy (if boring) to fake, and for another it could all change based on feedback from survey-takers. Now that you’re suitably sceptical, here’s the transcript: “Mass Effect: Andromeda takes players...
Good news, Dark Souls fans: Dark Souls 3 is a dense, challenging game. But for those who are new to the series, this might be an intimidating portent. Dark Souls is notoriously difficult to get into; plenty of players who would definitely love it instead press their face to the glass and long for the...

I assume the first two are intended and the last is probably not. Here’s the basics of the new...
In just two weeks, Dark Souls 3 arrives on western shores bringing with it the series-standard bucket-load of blood and gore and death and cursing at the fact that you got the last boss down to just a sliver of health before she spewed molten lava all over you and you were forced to start again. Hey, deep breath, it...
There’s more than just man-shooting, gear-grinding, and collectible caps and parkas in The Division. Post-virus Manhattan is also filled with film and TV references, nods to pop-culture, and other Easter eggs (just in time for Easter). Here are some we found, and some others found, and where you can find them for yourself. If you’ve come across any we...
You’ve cleansed the Cleaners, gotten rid of the Rikers, and collected a steamer trunk’s worth of beanies on your journey to level 30 in The Division. Up next: getting numbers to go up higher. Through daily missions, crafting, and plenty of Dark Zone visits, the end-game for your Agent revolves around strapping on better and...
Glarthir—upstanding citizen or local loon? Screenshot by EbonySkyrim, The Elder Scrolls Wiki. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is 10 years old, a terrifying fact that has done little but remind me that my days are numbered and senility is closing in on me like a determined mud crab. But for all that time may cloud my...
