Okhlos is the mythological mob simulator I didn’t know I wanted

Coming to Steam on August 18 Okhlosfrom Coffee Powered Machine is the next wacky and wild game out of indie publisher Devolver Digital. Have you heard about it yet? You should hear about it. How does right now work? In theory, it’s a game that fundamentally gets me. Playing as a mob-commanding philosopher, you roam across ancient Greece, loosely controlling a raging rag-tag group of citizens, warriors, heroes, and animals to beat the crap outta the gods and anything that gets in the way (and also things that were totally just minding their own business, you big jerk)....

You push forward not knowing which of your actions, if any, are going to trigger spooky videogame mechanisms behind the scenes. Some scary shit is definitely going to happen, but when?...

Pokemon Go reportedly claims its first death

In Chiquimula, Guatemala [Update:Now that the dust has settled, it appearsas if the most widely reported story(and confirmed by Guatemalan police) is very similar to a situationthat happened in the US recently.

After boarding his plane and realising the console was gone, Juan was pretty damn blue, as you would be....

Posting to NeoGAF, Durante claims to have worked around the 1080p resolution cap the game presently features, including a4k resolution screenshotof the title screen. The fix has not been released to the public yet, andDurante suggests that he may not botherto develop it to a release-ready state, as he expects Konami may patch the game themselves to allow for resolutions above 1080p....

Review in Progress: Dragon Quest VIII (3DS)

Slimesational Sometimes, you get things right on the first try. That’s the philosophy which has guided theDragon Questseries for thirty years, and it’s hard to argue. The franchise has consistently been a top seller in Japan, andDragon Questgames are known for their length and quality. They’re also known to be quite traditional, and combat is still handled from a turn-based, first-person perspective, just as it was on the NES. Despite all its success in its home country, the series has never made the transition to mass popularity in the West, though not for lack of trying....

Send help, I’m playing WoW again

The first taste is free I’m not entirely sure how these things happen, but every now and again I’ll find myself looking for a more familiar game to pick up. Sometimes it’s as simple as a few matches ofOverwatch, other times a few rounds ofStreet Fighter, but on occasion I find myself sucked back into a time-consuming MMO rabbit hole. It isn’t alwaysWorld of Warcraft. I’ve spent time playing other MMOs likeFinal Fantasy XIV, butWoWand I have the most history and when I need some familiarity back in my gaming I find it hard to resist the siren’s song....
