Yep another open-world survival game Stop us if you’ve heard of this before… Early Access; open-world; survival… and of course there’s online multiplayer to boot. Now toss in the lore and setting ofConan the Barbarianand you’ve got yourself a recipe for some potential goodies. If you’re interested in an MMO where your character’s “endowment” can be set, this may beexactly what you’re looking for, Johnson. Select digital retailers are now offering the game, with Steam being the obvious main place to purchase (it’s on the Steam platform, duh)....

With the release ofFinal Fantasy XIV Dawntrailjust around the corner, the social media team forFFXIV(lovingly known as Tweetingway within the community) has asked players to submit theirPictomancer-themed artwork. There are some truly glorious entries, but also a worrying amount of paint-eating. Thankfully, the days of Radion paint are long behind us and unlikely to make a re-appearance as part of the Pictomancer’s basic rotation. Still, surely Eorzean paint is not the best for your digestion....

Does it live up to the Harvest Moon name? I don’t know if I likeHarvest Moon: Skytree Village, but I certainly don’t hate it. At least, not yet. A trailer released for E3 today offers a first look at the world and mechanics of the upcoming 3DS game. A word of advice before you watch the trailer below: mute your volume. You’ll thank me later. The voiceover for the entire 2 and a half minute video is excruciatingly annoying....

Once I got the Betrayer’s Hat, I never took it off The PlayStation Store is runninga Games of a Generation saleuntil October 14, and if you’ve been waiting for a discount on the digital copy ofGhost of Tsushima, here it is. $45 is a more-than-fine price. I just wrapped up the story this week and I’m making a renewed push to finish every last morsel – even that annoying five-standoff-kills-in-a-row trophy – before the co-opLegendsmode comes out....

Girls’ Frontline 2: Exiliumis a game for fans of premium free-to-play games with an anime art style. It is a little different from most of the titles this description suggests, though. There are different regional versions, too, so that might explain why some folks have it while you’re still waiting. When you think of an anime free-to-play title with optional microtransactions to back up its massive world and enjoyable gameplay, games likeGenshin ImpactandHonkai: Star Railprobably the first that come to mind....

Hangar 18 is on there WithGuitar Hero Liveonly a few weeks away, developer Freestyle Games is sharing its opinions on the most difficult songs in the game, to give players a heads-up of sorts. Said list includes “Hangar 18” (Megadeth), “Cry of Achilles” (Alter Bridge), and “Ghost Walking” (Lamb of God). I’m not a big fan of Lamb of God, but Ghost Walking sounds fun enough to play guitar-wise. My first eureka moment for a tough song was probably the originalGuitar Hero‘s “Bark at the Moon” by Ozzy....

About half of which were added by developer Arrowhead Games via patches. Fire Tornadoes and Blizzards weren’t available in the base game, for example....

Iconic cover art is also being rebooted As I mentioned earlier today, not only isShadow Warriorgetting a reboot,but it’s equally over-the-top companionRise of the Triadis being retooled for 2013 as well. Even the iconic cover art is being rebooted for the new release. Remember this was back in the day when box art was kind of misleading; there’s nothing about this box art that lets you know the craziness of the originalRise of the Triad....

I’ll be honest, this really isn’t too relevant to a lot of people, but I just want the excuse to talk about this game for a second.Moe Moe Niji Taisen Deluxeis a tactical role-playing game in which various anime females withmassivebreasts personify World War II vehicles for no reason whatsoever. It was formerly on the PC, PSP and PS2, and now it’scoming to theXbox 360. Characters represent America, Russia, Britain, Japan, Italy and Germany, which means that this game basically has semi-clad Nazi women pretending to be tanks and planes....

Carpenter weighs in on EA’s latest release on Twitter Serving as the director and composer for over a dozen horror classics, includingHalloween,The Thing, andThe Fog, John Carpenter has secured his role as one of the greatest horror filmmakers of all time. Fans of his films might not know that Carpenter is also something of a gamer, having expressed an interest in theFallout,Horizon, andBorderlandsseries. Well, if you missed this detail in the past as I did, now we know that Carpenter is keeping up with the latest horror games, as he took to Twitter (with his aptly-chosen handle @TheHorrorMaster) yesterday to profess his love forEA’s Dead Space remake— more specifically, he called it a “great game!...

‘May your Christmas Days be… nice…’ Once our girl Frey Holland has completed the main questline of Square Enix’ mythic adventureForspoken, there are still many “Detours” (side-quests) to complete, trophies to earn, and narrative threads to be wrapped up. Perhaps one of the most important of these is the “Lost Lullabies” detour, which actually offers up a little more closure for Frey’s familial heritage. This guide contains minor plot spoilers forForspoken, though it will remain as vague as possible....
