‘I chlorophyll asleep’ Stealth action just seems to work better in 2D than in 3D. Games likeGunpoint,Mark of the Ninja, andStealth Bastardare testaments to that. PerhapsParadise Lost: First Contactwill be another title to add to that list in the future. What may set it apart from the others is the game’s protagonist: an intelligent photosynthetic extraterrestrial organism (or an alien plant, if you prefer). Also, that pixel art is pretty top-notch....

Mountain Man in a Blouse Welcome one and all, to the wildest show of all, the Rad Show. Tonight we’re gonna jump intoProject Zomboid. Yeah, it’s a Zombie Survival game, but it’s pretty bad ass. And I only play Bad ass games with shirtless men who occasionally get cold so I put a blouse on them to keep them warm and more manly as we fight to live. We’re probably gonna die alot and have new survivors trying to be the manliest man of the new world....

We get to see how a major expansion or update is going to shake up before getting granular specifics, which lets us plan our approach before its arrival (in terms of where quests are going to appear, or what quests are even available). It’s a big deal, and patch 5.0 heralds inShadowbringers, one of the most ambitious updates in the history of the game that will supposedly bring story beats so huge, they “feel like the story could end....

#Darksiders1 Gears of War, God of War, World of Warcraft. The Darkness. Dark Void. Dark. You ten-year-olds raised onFortniteout in the audience may not believe this, but these are all the names of popular videogames from ten-or-so years ago. Not unlike the content found in theMötley Crüehit tune “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,” the need to signal maturity by broadcasting an interest in unhealthy, unhappy, “not for kids” interests was strong in the game industry back then....

The artwork displayed at Square Enix’s Tokyo Game Show booth in theirFinal Fantasy25th Anniversary Gallery is beautiful. These photos do not do them justice, but it’s they’re the best I can do for you right now. The work displayed ranges from cartoon-y to realistic, but there’s not a bad one in the bunch. I want to buyall of them, but they’re not for sale. I’m especially partial to the one fromFinal Fantasy IX....
