Earlier this morning, we received a news tip via carrier pigeon. Nothing too out of the ordinary, at least in comparison to some of the insanity that takes place at this fine establishment. But what really got me interested was the tip’s opening statement. I’m paraphrasing here, but it essentially amounted to “you guys cover anything and everything related to Steam, so why not give Games for Windows a chance too?...
Who has “won” E3 2013? All of the “big three” companies have unleashed their press conference volleys on the world, with Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo all showcasing their very best for E3. We sawmore on the Xbox One, the PS4finally got unveiled, andMega Man happened. Nice! The grisly inevitable now remains — a thorough assessment of the three shows to judge who “won” the event, and keep the bickering of the gamer community alive....

How’s that for advanced notice? It feels silly to tell you about a game that’s going to be free months from now, but maybe, just this once, it’ll prevent someone from buying said game right before the promotion begins. With that in mind,Payday: The Heistwill be free for 24 hours on May 22, 2025. This offer is connected to Overkill Software’sCrimefest, a celebration of thePaydayfranchise’s third anniversary happening in October. The studio has a goal of 1....
Here’s what’s next in EQ Next The Christmas issue of PC Gamer UK dives into some details on the upcomingEverQuest Next. One of those details is a list of known classes, which includes Cleric, Necromancer, Beast Lord, and Tempest. Here are the descriptions as provided by EQNexus: Cleric– Wields either a two-handed hammer or a hammer and shield. Buffing and protecting allies is the typical Clerical duty, but these magic men and women do it with the power of fire, which gives them some killing power, too....
(not really) I could see the FedEx delivery man hobbling down the street. I knew he was coming for me, but he was taking awhile as he was carrying a small box that looked like it was giving him some trouble. I met him halfway and he gave an appreciative smile. He handed over a the box. It felt like a bowling ball was inside. Inside, I found a huge stack of bound paper that looked like a script for upcoming PS3 gameBeyond: Two Souls....
Spooky Ah yes! If you weren’t fortunate enough to go hands-on withBloodborneat gamescom, PAX Prime, or Tokyo Game Show, this is the good stuff right here. It’s footage ripped straight fromthe alpha. There are multiple videos here, culminating in a boss fight. Perhaps not the high-level play some will want to see, but I’d expect that to pop up on YouTube from other folks this week. I’m still coming to terms with just how creepy the atmosphere is inBloodborne....
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: The Indigo Diskmostly focuses on returning Pokemon, but there are some all-new monsters in the mix as well. Hydrapple is an especially interesting beast in particular, since getting it technically spans the entirety of the base game plus both its DLC packs. To get Hydrapple, you first need to catch anApplin.You can check out our guide on how to do that here, but note that it’s quite an elusive little bugger....
Before you do anything else, turn your speakers up and click this link to the newly launched North American site forFinal Fantasy IV. Wow, right? Did you not just getinstantgeek goosebumps? What a great looking and sounding Web page! If this did nothing for you, you either have (a) no soul, or (b) hate RPGs. Wewere already pretty excitedabout the DS remake of theFinal Fantasyclassic, and we’ve also been keeping an eye on theamazing musicfor this game....
Just like the new Exotic weapon quests WhileDestinyis still missing a lot of features, and the loot system is never quite right, Bungie has a ton of variables to account for since it’s so massive. Most notably, a millions-strong community that will datamine the living shit out of the game, and even go so far as to mathematicallymap out every single facetof the experience and post their findings on reddit. The community is dedicated, to say the least....
Another world to explore from Eric Chahi Eric Chahi, the creator ofAnother World, is coming out with an ecosystem simulation game about origami creatures for PlayStation VR.Paper Beasthas a story mode – you’re able to alter the terrain and weather, not unlike a god game, to solve puzzles – and a sandbox mode. It’s the best of both worlds. You might’ve heard that name before and wondered whatever happened to this game....
In the end the train crashes into the Warren’s home I have yet to see the Korean filmTrain to Busan, but it’s in my pile of “must watch” movies as the idea of a bunch of people stuck on a train during a zombie outbreak is pretty awesome, and there must be a reason it was an international hit (hint: it was pretty awesome). I’ll get around to it someday, and now I have new motivation because I’ll want to see the original before I check out James Wan’s U....
The Pride of the Thunderfoot Tribe During a recent visit to Capcom’s European HQ, I was afforded the opportunity to check out the Arcade Mode adventure forLily, one of themany exciting newcomersheaded to incoming scrapperStreet Fighter 6. I was able to take a look at the Thunderfoot princess’ narrative, engage in a few battles, and even lock horns with a mighty Truck in the sequel’s returning Bonus Round. Lily is a descendant of Mexico’s Thunderfoot Tribe, the same clan that previously brought us theSuper Street Fighter IIwarrior T....
