Hitman 2 has a new level today, set in a New York bank. In other words, Leo has an excuse to fire up Hitman 2 and play while he’s on the clock. What a world!  Kyle and I watch as Leo plays through the majority of the scenario for the first time. There’s a fair amount of trialing and plenty […]

Samurai Shodown showcases the highs and lows of the fighting genre as a whole. At its best, it’s a powerful lesson in learning and reacting to another player, as victory doesn’t require you to learn jargon or memorize long combos. But it flounders without that other human player, hindered by a scant single-player offering and a decent-but-basic approach to online […]

Psychonauts 2 takes place right after the VR game Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin, but Double Fine’s Tim Schafer says you don’t have to play it to understand what’s going on in the sequel (perhaps that’s for the best). Judging from what we see in today’s NGT, it’s pretty clear what’s going on. Dr. Loboto, Raz, teeth, figments – […]

I’m always curious about the tech behind the games we visit for Game Informer’s cover stories, and with Respawn being an EA owned company, one of my biggest questions was what kind of engine they were using and whether they got to make that call. We inquired about the topic with game director Stig Asmussen and Respawn’s CEO Vince Zampella […]

While the reality of being a pirate wasn’t anywhere near as adventurous and fun as we’d like to think – scurvy anyone? – that hasn’t stopped all sorts of fanciful tales and stories emerging, creating a litany of books, films and other entertainment media. Pirate themed experiences have begun to find their way to virtual reality (VR) headsets, with Survios […]

A more modern scheme is also available though, reflecting the button-mapping of more recent racers and making it effortless for all manner of players to enjoy. Despite its do-over, CTR Nitro-Fueled does well to keep true to its roots with nods to the original game in abundance.  Take CTR’s adventure mode for example. The game’s core and original formula is […]

Kill la Kill – IF is only about a month away, but we’re still only seeing some of its fighters for the first time. You can check out footage of Ira Gamagoori wearing his Shackle Regalia below. And you can also see footage of Uzu Sanageyama wearing his Blade Regalia. Kill la Kill – IF is brawler based on the […]

A mod creator called LordEmil1 brought a first-person camera to Mass Effect 2. LordEmil1 is currently working to bring the mod over to Mass Effect and Mass Effect 3. Anyone else notice he didn’t say Andromeda? Moving on. https://youtube.com/watch?v=qFHroH1geZY The […]

Fortbyte 49 Found in Trog’s ice cave As we mentioned at the start of this story, today’s new Fortbyte is very easy. There’s no need to equip any special skins, gliders or funny emote to complete it, so it’s a nice and simple way to ease yourself into the weekend. All you need to do is head towards Trog’s ice […]

The Dota 2 mod Auto Chess ushered in a new genre, giving players a chance to show off their strategic superiority in draft-based battles. Drodo Studio appears to be moving away from Steam, bringing a standalone version of its game to mobile and an upcoming Epic Games Store release. Fear not, though, Valve faithful. The studio has created its own version […]
