And the deadliest H1Z1is a game about surviving the zombie apocalypse. It should be a game about surviving the bear apocalypse, because they are way fucking scarier than any zombie. But, maybe that hits too close to home since bears might actually murder you in your house while you’re sleeping. Zombies have a very low chance of doing that because they aren’t real. Bears cause all sorts of shenanigans inH1Z1. They’re ruthless, creative killers that have but one motive: murder....

Anime gacha sensation printing money Chinese video game developer miHoYo has suggested that it raked in close to $800 million USD in revenue over the course of 2020, almost entirely driven by the overnight success of its fantasy gacha titleGenshin Impact, which launches on PS4, PC, and mobile platforms last September.

Promoted from our community blogs [It’s amazing how far we’ve come when it comes to popularizing ghosts. Medieval peasants probably thought the phenomena of ghosts were nigh unstoppable omens of destruction that spelled the end of your life as you know it. And then the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was created. ~Strider] You might not realize it, but 1984’sGhostbustersis one of the most culturally influential movies of all time. Well, okay, you probably did know that already, what with the way the film has been seen by multiple generations of millions of people, inspired a number of catchphrases and slang terms, sold billions of dollars worth of merchandise, and ensured that Ray Parker Jr....

I’m always forgetting anniversaries Google did a low key celebration for the30th anniversary ofSuper Mario Bros. So low key that the 30th anniversary was yesterday and many of us idiots who’d normally be writing posts about it were busy watching football and packing for international travel and eating pizza, thoughKotakudid notice before September 13 ended here on the west coast (best coast). But it’s still working now (as of time of writing), wholly unimportant September 14....

Free fighting for everyone! With the recent introduction of a ranked matching system, ArenaNethas decided to drop the current system inGuild Wars 2of paying to participate in high-level player-versus-player matches. The earlier system — charging for matches — was created to keep high-level players fighting in the same brackets since paying more in-game gold allowed access to better rewards. Ratings and matchmaking have been recently added intoGuild Wars 2’stournament system, so this paid system was deemed redundant and unnecessarily complicated....

I suppose it’s appropriate that we get aHelldivers 2patch on Valentine’s Day to address matchmaking. With the community lamenting disconnection issues, no doubt plenty are getting tired of the messy break-ups. Hopefully, today’s stability patch touches the hearts of allHelldivers 2players. It’s no secret thatHelldivers 2players have been having a, ahem,hellof a time finding matches and staying connected. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios hasresponded to the concerns, explaining the unusual situation while rolling out fixes and server updates....

Throw cheerleaders at everyone I’d forgottenHeroeswas even a thing. The first series was great, but then I remember Netflix had problems with the subtitles in the second season so I stopped watching. Apparently that was a good idea, as no one liked how it went from thereat all. As it turns out, Heroesis coming backas a new TV show, and along with it we get two new games.Heroes Reborn Geminiis coming to consoles and PC, andEnigmais coming to mobile devices....

More like Lords of the Tease Hey City Interactive, I’m really interested inLords of the Fallenbut enough with just releasing screenshots like the two new ones in our gallery. Yeah, you released aneat looking teaser, but where’s some actual gameplay footage? Only people that have previewed it know what the game truly looks like. Destructoid’s Brett Makedonskihas previewed the gamefor us in fact, noting that it hasa lot of promise. But for the rest of us I think we’re over the slow drip of screens....

We go fast You Gamers probably only know the WASD keys, but a wordsmith like me has to have full command of the whole keyboard. I got all 26 letters memorized, the space bar, the commas and apostrophes, the shifts, and sometimes even the numbers. Impressive, I’m aware. There was one time in college where I was struggling to find a summer job so I went to one of those job placement center things....

Horror has played a key part in my upbringing (“that explains a lot,” says the funniest person in the room). These days, it’s mainly through games that I get my scares, which is why I was quite excited whenSteam Next Festrolled around again. Scouring the horror section has been a delight, and while there have been some that haven’t stood out, I want to give a shoutout toNayuta Studio‘sHollow Cocoon. This tasty jam of an indie horror title has a lot of potential, appealing to those who like a bit of Japanese folklore to spread on their gaming toast like some sort of macabre marmalade (that isdefinitelynot a thing)....

Limbo of the Lostis the stuff nightmares are made of (see above) and the stuff of lawsuits, as well. It’s a perfect storm of all things terrible that makes a game in the adventure genre — a genre that even at its worst can only be subpar — so vapid, bizarre, and poorly executed that it somehow transcends the ridiculous and becomes a surreal, captivating experience. And if you get a distinctElder ScrollsorWorld of Warcraftvibe, or suddenly feel nostalgic forBeetlejuice, it likely has to do withLimbo of the Loststealing art from all those things....
