Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Trying to write about Space Station 13 is inevitably a complete nightmare, as by the time you’ve explained what it is to any degree of adequacy, you’re approaching long read territory. But since this is a

WB Games Montreal has been teasing an announcement for nearly a year now, and it seems as though we might be a mere day away from finally learning what is on the horizon from the studio that put out Batman: Arkham Origins in 2013. While we know the main developer of the beloved Arkham series, Rocksteady

Capital fetters Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. I feel like such a hypocrite whenever I bemoan the shortage of games about massive spaceship combat. Nexus – The Jupiter Incident may have given me 16 years to get round to it, but

Crikey, it’s been a hot minute since we last heard anything about Skywind, hasn’t it? Nevertheless, the colossal task of bringing all of Morrowind into Skyrim is still well underway, with the modders behind the project releasing our first look at the ambitious mod in over a year, by way of a spruced-up return to

Remedy has offered new details about the upcoming AWE expansion in its latest livestream, but one of the coolest announcements to emerge from that video on the status of the game is what is coming in the free August update. Remedy revealed that it’s responding to complaints about long checkpoints and difficulty overall with a

There was a bit of mumblin’ and grumblin’ when long-awaited Spelunky 2 got a PS4 release date announced without mention of a PC date. The bad news is there’s still no date. The good news is that Mossmouth have given their goals for a timeframe and hey—it’s soon! Spelunky 2 may be emerging on PC

Apex Legends Season 6, Boosted, is poised to strike on August 18 with a slew of new content. The biggest addition is a new legend, Rampart. She’s a big shooter, a fight club smart talker who loves bubble gum, apparently. She’s clearly here to win games and chew bubble gum. There’s a new battle pass to

Even in the midst of some devastating restructuring and layoffs at Warner Bros. and DC in recent days, the company is still moving forward with a big fan event called the DC FanDome, scheduled for next weekend. An array of DC properties are getting the spotlight treatment, with new looks at everything from Wonder Woman

My most played mobile game, and hopefully soon yours too Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. As a devout pluviophile and a lover (and creator) of abstract digital landscapes, there are very few moments that bring me as much pleasure and serenity

Ready to die a bunch of times and take new bodies for a spin? Choose the shell (they’re kinda like classes) that’s right for your playstyle when Mortal Shell launches on August 18 digitally on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Everyone loves a good distillery tour, right? Gawk at the big barrels, sample the products and all. Not so much in the latest update to Dead Cells, which adds an area called the Derelict Distillery. In this house of horrors the barrels explode and the products are death—your death specifically. The new update is out

Risk of Rain 2 got its 1.0 patch today, which includes some significant additions to the game. With its launch, Risk of Rain 2 adds a new character, a new stage, and a final boss. Of course, there are a ton of new items and powerups and the like to go along with those major additions.

Game development can often feel like a locked box. Behind walls of marketing and non-disclosure agreements, we rarely we get an insight into how our favourite games are made. Enter Mixolumia developer Davemakes, who’s kept a complete Twitter log of the rhythmic puzzler’s development from prototyping to its release this past weekend. It all starts

Chipotle surprised the world today by announcing the Tony Hawk Burrito. What exactly goes into a Tony Hawk burrito, you ask? Brown rice, black beans, chicken, salsa, cheese, and guacamole make up the totally rad skating meal. The first 2000 fans to order the Tony Hawk Burrito get access to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1

Ubisoft have published a new version of their cinematic trailer for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It’s mighty similar to the first one we saw, though this one includes music from the official soundtrack instead of modern rock. Oh, and it also swaps out bearded Eivor for not-bearded Eivor, the other half of of Valhalla’s interchangeable protagonist.

Screenshot Saturday Sundays! It’s another scorcher, readers, so I hope you’re all sunscreen’d up and well-hydrated for another hike through the weekend’s best work-in-progress screenshots, videos, and gifs. This week: wake up for a road trip, perplexed alien bosses, puzzling mash-ups and a supernatural scrub. Coming-of-age RPG ShelfLife is starting us off this week with

Are you ready to stop a vampire invasion? How about take on some really big, really rowdy werewolves? The Dark Heart of Skyrim marches on with the upcoming Stonethorn. The DLC dungeon pack includes a wealth of content as you bring the heat to the ancient bastion of Castle Thorn and take on a vampire

QuakeCon At Home is live this weekend on Twitch, though it really should be called BethFest when you look at the schedule. The event has moved wholly online thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the rescheduled celebration of id’s and Bethesda’s games has an intriguing schedule. Here are a few of the highlights. A warning:

Following through with previously expressed privacy concerns, United States President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders that would ban Americans from completing transactions with Chinese conglomerate Tencent and Chinese company ByteDance. While the executive orders were signed with Tencent’s messaging app WeChat and ByteDance’s social video app TikTok in mind, the unspecified bans, once they are defined,

Playing defensively rarely pans out in Apex Legends – at least, it’s never panned out for me. But then, I’ve never had a whopping great turreted machine gun to help lock down Skulltown. That’s all set to change later this month with the addition of scrappy mechanic Rampart and her life partner Sheila, arriving as

Yesterday, Microsoft revealed that over 100 games would be available for streaming through its xCloud streaming service, which will come bundled with Game Pass Ultimate, starting September 15. It’s a great deal and a fun way to dip your toe into game streaming. However, if you were looking forward to streaming Xbox games off an iOS device,

I threw a spear at the first person to harm an ant. They were warned. But the lag meant I kept missing and it just got a bit embarassing, so we retrieved the spears and went back to scouting for dewdrops. Grounded‘s multiplayer has captured something special. Even after several hours (which flew by for

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate started with a ton of characters, stages, and modes, and those numbers have only grown. The two Fighters Passes have added several new characters and stages along, but Nintendo has announced that with the free, newly released version 8.1.0 update, players can add the new Small Battlefield stage to their catalog

It’s a rotten day out, and amphibious as they may be, no frog should have to suffer a bare head in this weather. If you must play Frog Fractions: Game Of The Decade Edition, you owe it to poor Hop to pitch in for a swish beanie. See, Hop’s Iconic Cap isn’t just a sweet

Fortnite’s latest season, Splashdown, released a few months back in mid-June. It’s brought some significant changes to the battle-royale mode, most notably drenching the map with waters that have been slowly receding over the past several weeks. It’s just about back to its pre-flood state, which means there’s finally enough land to support another big

First up, I’m going to incept the Halo theme song into your brain: Oohwawawawahwahwawha… There, that should do it. Now we have the scene properly set, I’m excited to tell you that the Halo: The Master Chief Collection isn’t going to settle on just bringing the Halo series back to the PC. There are plans

This is a good week to catch up on your backlog of games. No title truly has a spotlight on it, but we have had a blast playing Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, and we can’t wait to see how the Vin Diesel-led Fast & Furious Crossroads turns out. Let us know what you plan on
