Though we preferred TIE Fighter when it came to listing the best Star Wars games on PC, we did rate X-Wing quite highly on one important metric: it lets you fly a bloody X-Wing. The fantasy of flying to the rescue when a guy with a codename like Red Two shouts "I can't shake him!" is a highly specific one, but if you watched Star Wars at the right age...
You might not have much time to take in the atmosphere in Elden Ring Nightreign while you're speedrunning between boss fights, but more attention and detail was put into the world design than you might expect for a spin-off game that reuses so many assets from the 2022 hit.FromSoftware Environmental Artist Saori Mizuno dug into those details in a recent interview with IGN, where she revealed all the considerations that...
In grand FromSoftware tradition, Elden Ring Nightreign begins with a fight you're supposed to lose. As is also tradition, it's perfectly possible to gut it out and beat him anyway if you're enough of a toxic Souls tryhard cool guy.Nightreign's tutorial fight even furnishes you with a one-of-a-kind relic for your troubles. It's nothing to write home about on its own, but could be handy before you're able to build...
Here's a question. What's the most important game in your life you don't think anybody else would mention as having a significant influence on theirs? To be clear, I don't mean the most obscure game you've ever played, although there's a chance it might be that. I'm referring to the most unusual game you've crossed paths with that had a noticeable impact on your existence.For me, that game is Entomorph:...
Elden Ring Nightreign is hard in a way that no FromSoftware game over the last decade has been.Where the pacing of Dark Souls and Elden Ring normally reward patience, Nightreign demands a speedrunner's frenzy. Where the intricate dungeons of those games encourage memorization, so that you can dart in to grab a killer weapon or key item your second go-round, Nightreign randomizes everything. The map could be overflowing with the...
Project Warlock was a thoroughly entertaining FPS throwback which caught the bloody wave of the boomer shooter revival right at its height in 2018. As such, I was excited by the prospect of a sequel, and one was duly revealed at the PC Gaming Show in 2021.Then, years passed. My eyesight deteriorated, flecks of grey appeared in my beard, and my short-term memory was obliterated by a delightful bout of...
Nintendo has predicted it will sell 15 million Switch 2s in its current financial year. Analysts think the number is conservative; Nintendo says the price of the Switch 2 is what’s holding back that estimate. But what does that mean, really? Is it a reasonable target? If Nintendo hits it, does that guarantee the Switch 2 will be a massive hit? If a console sells out at launch, what does...
Cosmology of Kyoto is a first-person horror exploration game where players navigate a deeply haunted yet surprisingly educational terrain. Originally released in 1993, Cosmology of Kyoto and its disturbing depictions of suffering have since become a cult classic. Roger Ebert, known hater, loved the game so much that he spent weeks playing it. Despite its acclaim, though, the game was a commercial failure and never got a sequel. At least,...
It's difficult to think of games whose soundtrack had a bigger impact on an entire generation than the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series. Popular music had been a part of games for decades: Journey Escape for the Atari 2600 was a particularly weird example, and the use of Song 2 by Blur in FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 was iconic. But the Tony Hawk series was the first to...
