Super Mario Odyssey's trailer was only a couple of minutes long, but it was enough to get everyone hung up on was Mario's bizarre appearance in a fictionalised version of NYC. The immediate comparison was that Odyssey reminded people of GTA, so it was only a matter of time before mods mashed together the whimsy of Odyssey with GTA's grit.
Overwatch's PTR, or public test realm, is a blessing and a curse for players. On one hand, they get to try out new changes before they go live. On the other, if players don't love a change, there's no guarantee Blizzard will do a 180. Right now, D.Va's staring down the barrel of a big nerf, and they seem pretty set on going through with it.
What goes up must come down. This indelible law of nature applies to precisely two things: Gravity, which you may have heard of, and World of Warcraft legacy server Nostalrius.
Valve announced today that the poorly-reviewed stealth game Art of Stealth was removed from Steam after it was discovered that its developer forged positive reviews.
Today was one of those occasions that comes once, maybe twice (but definitely not thrice) in a lifetime. Gabe Newell arose from his Scrooge McDuck-esque lake of knives and cash to conduct an AMA. Spoiler: He likes Portal 2 more than Half-Life, and despite appearances to the contrary, Valve still makes games.
A substantial patch for Final Fantasy 14 just went live, changing up the MMORPG's party system in a big way. Players had complained that it was a little sterile, with minimal options for customisation. Now, players can recruit each other for cross-server parties, form password-protected private parties and keep their Chocobo companions summoned when they have registered for duties.
Finding a classy way to show off a traditional point-and-click RPG in a trailer is hard. And that's what makes inXile's solution so perfect: instead of showing off the action, the trailer lets you playthrough one of the game's side-quests.
Even when it was released in 2006, Nintendo's Wii games were already looking a little past it, stuck as they were in the muddy depths of standard-definition resolution and on relatively old hardware. In 2017, they're way past it.
Not to worry. If you'd rather play your Wii games in stunning HD - and trust us, they look stunning - then all you need to do is follow these simple steps.
Since the 2011 debut of its first super-skinny gaming laptop, Razer has supplemented the Blade line with models either smaller or less expensive than original. Starting at $US3,699 ($5,106), the new Blade Pro bucks that trend, resulting in Razer's the most impressive desktop replacement yet.
Ark: Survival Evolved now has Pokemon in it thanks to a mod by Mystic Academy. But who knows how long it will last since, as per the Steam Workshop page, a DMCA notice of copyright infringement has already been filed against the item.
Resident Evil 4 went through a lot of changes between the time it was first shown off in 2001 to the time it was released in 2004. The finished product is a classic, but we're now getting a chance to play through an earlier, cancelled edition of the game, which has been rebuilt by a fan.
Last year I returned to visit my old Neopian stomping grounds. In the 15 years since I'd left, the bustling Neoboards had devolved into ghost towns. Faerieland had crashed to the ground. I could accessorise my JubJub with faeces. The times, they had a-changed.
In response to my article, Neopets' owner JumpStart reached out and offered an interview with CEO David Lord. Unfortunately, it soon became apparent that while there are dreams for Neopets' future, there is little momentum behind them.
The Lady's Choice is a visual novel that takes its inspiration from Regency era novels. Its arch writing and wry sense of humour give it the same sense of charm and intrigue as the best of Jane Austen.
The Dragon Age games have captured my imagination like few other series have ever managed. Every quest is a roller coaster full of tough choices. For Origins, the best quest involved dwarven politics and a magical anvil. We take a closer look in this video.
We previously saw strong signs that Microsoft was working on a "game mode" for Windows 10, but it wasn't exactly clear what that mode would do. Microsoft has since provided some details, via platform engineering head Mike Ybarra.
Overwatch cheaters have a new trick up their sleeves. It's called "nuking", and it's essentially a targeted form of a DDOS attack that slows matches to a crawl, sometimes to the point that players can't even report the infraction.
Not an unexpected announcement, considering Torment: Tides of Numenera developer inXile locked in a late February release in December last year. As a celebration of sorts, inXile has created an "interactive quest" video that shows off some of the dialogue, gameplay and decision making in the game.
Justice has been served.
