If you’re aFinal Fantasy XIVplayer wanting to get ahead of the queues onceDawntrailgoes live, there’s no need to wait until June 28 to download all the data for the expansion. It’s available to download now, at least on PC. If you’re looking to avoid spoilers too, now might be the time to turn away from the internet for the next couple of days. With the patch being live for download, this also means that dataminers can dive in and get the information before regular players....

Gotta go fast No more than ten seconds into my first round ofPyroMind, I knew I was hooked. It’s a simple but filling action-puzzler in which you strategically move across tiles, defusing bombs to score points and stay alive. New bombs regularly appear, and every time you move a space, the timers tick down by one. Technically, it’s turn-based, but playingPyroMindat Nordic Game 2018, I kept having to fight my instinct to move as quickly as possible (because that’s what you do in video games, dang it all)....

Are you still playing it? Back in January, I was floored to hear that my favorite PS4 launch gameResogunhad DLC in the works. But it’s been almost five months since then with no word on when said DLC would actually drop — until now, that is. Developer Housemarque has confirmed that it will arrive in June — although it’s still up in the air as to what it actually is (co-op is rumored)....

‘I know I want to,’ says writer Dan Houser In a chat withPolygon, Rockstar Games’ Dan Houser said that he’d be down foranotherBully. “I know I want to,” the co-founder stated. “Well, hopefully, you never know. There’s a lot of directions I could go with that one, it’s funny.” For all of the attention that theGrand Theft Autoseries gets,Bullyis one of those titles that evokes strong reactions. That soundtrack! I’d love to see the studio revisit the concept with everything it’s learned since 2006....

But, for those of you who like to live life on the wyld syde, here are therumoredspecs for the PC edition of the fantasticMonster Hunter: World....

My world’s on fire, how ’bout yours? Somebody once told me (specificallyVariety) the world is gonna roll me (because Universal Studios is rebooting Dreamworks franchisesShrekandPuss in Bootsafter parent company Comcast’s 2016 purchase of Dreamworks Animation) / I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed (we are all stupid and deserve this) / She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb / In the shape of an “L” on her forehead (corporations are fully aware of how stupid we are and don’t care that we’re losers that only care aboutShrekbecause he’s a meme)....

Let me tell you of a horrible side effect of running these iOS sales stories on Destructoid. I always see something I “need” when I’m putting them together, and I always end up buying something. This job always finds more ways to eat at my wallet. Square Enix makes my favorite iOS games, and this week they’ve put just about everything they make on sale, with most of it coming in at about half price after discount....

Celebrate with savings on controller-enabled games Valve has ended the beta for the “Big Picture Mode” feature of Steam, the alternative user interface for large displays with navigation support for controllers, and opened it to all users today. And as it seems that they will take any excuse to have a sale, Steam is offering up to 75% off on over thirty controller-enabled games from the store. The available games aren’t overwhelmingly exciting, with titles likeLeft 4 Dead 2andPortal 2almost perpetually on sale, but there are some other gems in the lot....

‘A few special gems for Xbox One owners’ SteamWorld Digwas originally on target for an Xbox One release in late May, but now we have confirmation from developer Image & Form that it will release this Friday, June 5. This debut will seeSteamWorldon nearly every platform outside of your toaster, as it was previously available on the 3DS, PC, PS4, Vita, and Wii U. The developers promise “a few special gems for players to discover on Xbox One,” but haven’t detailed what that actually entails just yet — though they do note that they “prefer to keep [their] versions similar to each other, since it keeps everyone happy....

Hands-off preview of the ‘survival city-builder’ Space used to be the place, but in recent years our collective focus has narrowed to Mars. It’s likely that enough teens stricken with the millennium bug spent the year 2000 exchanging heavy pets in suburban movie theatres, subliminally associating their raging teen hormones withRed PlanetandMission to Mars. Now we’ve gone so far as to send a robot there and treat it like aWALL-Esequel....

He can stand up, we know that much Whilst the upcoming fighting game from Arika still has no title, that hasn’t prevented them from revealing new roster members. A (very brief) teaser, uploaded yesterday reveals thatStreet Fighter EX’sAllen Snider is next to return to the ring. Snider, whose look is reminiscent of a young Chuck Norris, was a secret character in the 1996 spin-off. An American karate expert, Snider has traded in his deep blue karate gi for a flashy ‘Murica-themed ensemble....

Asone of the apparently three people who purchased a PlayStation VR2at launch, it was a bit of a rough go. Sure, theVR unit was $550on top of the $500 console and you absolutely needed the official Controller Charging Station for another $50. But hardware aside, there was a serious drought of quality games. Such is not the case any longer. ThePS VR2library has grown considerably and here are the 10 best titles to add to your collection as judged by my family....
