You’d think, like the games, that this would mean the end of Joel as a character in the show. But according to the showrunners,...

I quite like the whole action roguelike genre that built up around games like Binding of Isaac and Nuclear Throne and metamorphosed into a whole new thing with the explosive birth of Vampire Survivors.The latest one to catch my attention is Desktop Survivors 98, a retro explosion of lookalike Windows 98 assets and motifs that has you spraying arcs of solitaire cards and blasting stuff out of the recycling bin...
Space Marine 2 was a hit, making millions for Games Workshop, and guaranteeing the saga of Ultramarine Demetrian Titus would continue in Space Marine 3.

The shield parrying is a welcome addition to the FPS space, and each of its weapons — a personal favorite being the evergreen shotgun — is both useful and fun. The Dark Ages is extremely my thing, too. What’s not working for me, however, are the few sections where the Doom Slayer pilots a giant mech or rides on...
As the self-appointed Fox Mulder of games about kicking goblins down flights of stairs, I want to believe that fantasy hack 'n' slash Alkahest can revive the underappreciated swashbuckling brilliance of Dark Messiah: Might and Magic. The game debuted last year with a flashy announcement trailer that really sold me on the concept.But as reported by Andy last year, the trailer also attracted scepticism because it used a mixture of...
