Link…use the peppers Another month, anotherZelda: Breath of the Wild(re)discovery. Yes these are still happening, and they’re still fascinating. One of the newest reborn crazes is the “triple updraft,” which does not require modding or some other insane method that might have turned you off from variousBreath of the Wildtricks in the past.In this reddit postby tetr4_hc (Tetra Hc), we see exactly how it plays out step by step. Here’s how the triple updraft works: Looks like the pepper market just skyrocketed in the land of Hyrule!...

3DRealms is known for its many,manyretro first-person shooters, and thoughWrath: Aeon of Ruindoesn’t necessarily stand out in this respect, it’s a marquee example of the niche regardless. It’s pretty exciting, then, that its 1.0 version has now launched from Early Access. Described as a “great mixture of old and new”back in 2019,Wrath: Aeon of Ruinis a strange and enticing combination of the firstQuakeandTurok, of all things. It’s a rapid-fire boomer-shooter,not unlikeDUSK, but with a bit of additional pizazz added on top....

Musings on The Outcasts, game development, modders, and Kickstarter Okay, so maybe I’m playing it fast and loose with the headline. Like most interviews, my conversation with the affable Cliff Harris ofGratuitous Space Battlesfame was arranged quite some time before and was most certainly called for — the latest expansion to his popular space strategy title had just launched and he’s an all-round interesting fellow. But itwasfree, so I’m sticking to my guns....

Morirse, morirse, morirse If you couldn’t tell by the deluge of Reaper headers that I’ve snuck intoOverwatchheaders this past seven months or so, he’s the character I gravitate towards the most. His outflanking close-combat style really appeals to me, and he’s remained a pretty balanced and competitive character since launch (typically appearing as a mid-tier character on lists if you’re into that sort of thing). As it turns out ZaziNombies, master LEGO crafter, is a fan as well, and created his Hellfire Shotguns in real life with around 1,100 pieces....

Followed by Kingdom Hearts 3 E3 came and went, and in the grand scheme of things I wouldn’t say it was a smash hit. We saw a few bangers for sure but many of the actual conferences were too safe with very little in the way of surprises or heavy-hitters — to the point where I would have loved to at least seen a complete trainwreck on the level of Mr....

It’s still a ‘spring’ release Because it doesn’t have the best track record at keeping its fans and backers up to date, theMighty No. 9project has once again started making waves across the internet. Based on a recent “no comment” response from Deep Silver regarding the game’s release schedule, as well as Twitter silence from the developer, people are starting to get antsy. Far be it from a publisher to comment on behalf of a developer at the drop of a hat, but the fact that the social channels for the game have been mum is not good....

Give us Fiddlesticks Last week saw the debut ofArcane: Riot’s take on aLeague of LegendsTV universe. And not only is it a hit critically, it seems to have done well for Riot in terms of reach. Naturally, there’s going to be moreLeague of Legendsmedia on the way. Riot no doubt was already planning on this given how long it took to actually produce and releaseArcane, butin a recent interview with the LA Times, they’re getting a little more open about what that might entail....

Headed to retail, too While it was not so surprising thatAxiom Vergewould be making the jump to the Switch, what is super neat is that developer Thomas Happ Games has partnered with BadLand Games to create a physical edition of the game for consoles. Dubbed the “Multiverse” Edition, this new version won’t have any new content for the game, but a bunch of behind the scenes footage and a documentary made by 2 Player Productions....
