Breathing new life into old games with VR Now that I’ve spent a lot of time with both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive I can honestly say that the best games available for virtual reality headsets are Nintendo games. I know what you’re thinking, “Jed, Nintendo doesn’t make VR games!” Sure, but that didn’t stop some mad geniuses from creating emulators that force fully-functional VR into existing Nintendo classics....

In most RPG games, it’s obvious when you gain a level. A giant burst of colors fills the screen, a guitar riff wails, and the words “Level up!” blast your screen.The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remasteredis a little different than most games, though. It looks like you have a typical experience bar, but it doesn’t just fill up for cutting down rats and wolves. You gain experience by increasing your Major Skills....

I demand for more things to catch on fire No one really likesX-Men: The Last Stand—if you do, I don’t believe you. The screenwriter of that film, longtimeX-Menfilm producer Simon Kinberg, is trying that story again in his directorial debut, theApocalypsefollow-up simply titledDark Phoenix. The first trailer debuted during Wednesday night’s episode ofThe Late Late Show, and it shows all of your favorite young mutants returning. Those familiar with the comics lore (or evenThe Last StandandApocalypse) know that Jean Grey (here played by Sophie Turner) struggles to control the powerful entity known as the Phoenix Force, which the conflict ofDark Phoenixcenters around....

Those who were around when the originalDeus Exreleased will no doubt have an appreciation for this pretty innovative RPG. While we’re still not 100% sure whether anew game is in developmentor not, there’s something interesting happening with the OG. As spotted byPCGamer, a modder is taking the 2000Deus Extitle and putting it through an Unreal Engine 5 filter. That is to say, the quarter of a century old game is being given a bit of a boost, and it’s all possible thanks to a toolkit called DXU24....

This in conjunction with the AI allies and opponents Well looks like Vince Zampella’s Twitter is going to be the ongoing source for allTitanfallnews. His latest reveal is thatTitanfallwill support a maximum of six players on each team, so 12 total real players. Vince added that this “turned out to be the best balance with AI for us.” Remember, the maps are filled with AI allies and opponents as you’re playing, so multiplayer matches do feel like a large scale endeavor....

There’s an alpha demo with four-player co-op Nuke Nine has launched aKickstarterfor its action-platformer with RPG elementsVaganteand the best part about the pitch — well, besides several attention-grabbing .gifs — is the included demo. Vagantehas permanent death, randomized levels, and a willingness to unceremoniously kill you in the blink of an eye. It reminds me ofCatacomb Kids— but since some of you won’t be familiar with that game, think of this as a sort ofSpelunkyin a dark fantasy world....

Wuthering Waves, the free-to-play gacha game by Kuro Games, has only been available for the masses to play for under three weeks. However, since its release on August 08, 2025, the RPG has already hit a huge milestone — 30 million downloads. This number does include pre-registrations and doesn’t reflect the number of active players per day. However, it’s a commendable occasion for the studio either way you slice it. It’s no small feat, considering the issues faced byWuthering Wavessince it was released....

Rayman Originsis out next week. Sadly, yet understandably, there isn’t a noticeable buzz surrounding the title — certainly not at the level of productivity-endersModern Warfare 3andSkyrim. It is a full-priced 2D platformer, which rubs some people the wrong way. However, and I can’t stress this enough, I’m not going to be surprised ifRayman Originsends up being my favorite game of 2011, based on what I’ve played of it so far. Fan of classic Rayman or not, you owe it to yourself to try the demo....

Don’t tell me what I must do At this point, so many match-three puzzle games exist that it is easy to see a new one and immediately write it off without a second thought. Fortunately,10000000did enough new stuff with the genre that it gathered a decent amount of buzz, eventually making its way from iOS to PC, Mac, Linux, and Android. Developer Luca Redwood originally planned a free update for10000000, but with nebulous goals for what the update would include, it kept growing and changing until it was clear that the project was more sequel than update, and it would deserve its own release....
