In the game, the amnesiac protagonist, Colt, is searching for a way out of the Aeon Program and off the island of Blackreef. It’s up to you to unravel the mysteries of his predicament and ensure his rival, Julianna, doesn’t take him out before he can escape. According to the premise, the island is stuck in a timeloop, but that wasn’t always the case. It started off as an isolated fishing colony, but an anomaly attracted the attention of the military, and eventually the attention of the founding members of the Aeon Program....

Released in 2013 as Borderlands 2 DLC, the campaign is set within the world of a fantasy-themed tabletop role-playing game known as Bunkers and Badasses. Serving as the game master, Tiny Tina’s game was the most popular among the DLC packs released for the title. It is also the basis for the upcoming Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands scheduled for release in February. Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure is out now and can be yours on PC through Steam....

Collaboration is key if you’re going to figure out Puzzle 509, but that’s easier said than done in a single-player game! The main point of difficulty with today’s puzzle is the vowels. Firstly, there are a lot of them, which makes it very easy to get caught up in trying to eliminate consonants and getting nowhere. Next, words that start with a vowel are always tough, since you’re almost guaranteed to waste a couple of guesses trying to get letters in the right order....

After teasing the game for the past 24 hours, Ubisoft has finally announced the latest game in the Tom Clancy series: Tom Clancy’s XDefiant.

Back in 2018, pre-release, I was thrilled. I called Two Point Hospital “a truly worthy successor to an all-time great” – and I meant it. But, at the same time, there was something that took me by surprise in the final release; I didn’t love it quite as much as Theme Hospital. I found myself drifting back to the original, which is playable in high resolutions on modern hardware via a fan remake called CorsixTH....

The game company today revealed Ubisoft Forward, a new online event that will kick off on July 12 at 12pm PDT. As you can see in the teaser, Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are sure bets. So far it’s remaining tight-lipped about what exactly Ubisoft Forward will comprise of - a tweet from Ubisoft’s official Twitter account promises “a fully digital showcase with exclusive game news, reveals and more” but doesn’t detail what game franchises might pop up....

There’s not a whole lot of point dwelling on how good each game is, for there are a million thoughts already readily available to read. Alex was impressed in his Uncharted 4 review, while our friends/enemies/rivals/colleagues at Eurogamer were equally impressed in their Uncharted: The Lost Legacy review. For my money, Uncharted 4 takes a little too long to get going, but is a huge improvement over Uncharted 3 - a game that seemed to ride on the coattails of the incredible second game and that impressive plane cargo bay sequence....

Sony has filed for a new patent that shows the design of what could be its next VR controller, potentially for the successor to PlayStation VR. The patent, uncovered by LetsGoDigital, was published this week in Japan. Descriptions of the design intent and the tech are all in Japanese, but the design itself matches existing VR controllers. As UploadVR points out, the new controllers appear to support inside-out tracking, which allows them to work without the need for external sensors....

Alongside a release date and a reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Vanguard today, Activision announced Warzone will be graced with a brand-new main map later this year. With development led by Raven Software, a new anti-cheat system will also be released across the entire experience when it launches with the new map. Upon the new map’s release, the game will continue to honor your past gameplay experiences, because universal progression is set to continue....

It’s just one part of Warzone’s The Haunting event, though. Fear governs the battlefield, and both ghosts and the living can make good use of it to win. Warzone Spectral Blast - How to use Spectral Blast You can only use Spectral Blast, or any ghostly power, after your Operator dies in a match. They’ll turn into a spirit and can haunt other Operators with potentially fatal consequences. Warzone Spectral Blast - How to play as a ghost in Verdansk Once your Operator stops, well, operating normally, you get access to a new range of moves....

WB Games will have some announcements to make during a virtual online event called DC FanDome, according to a press release. It is unknown at present what the company has to announce, but considering it’s been teasing a Batman game for what seems like ages, we might finally hear about it. There’s also the possibility the company will show off the Harry Potter RPG it has in the works. Maybe the leaks which popped up online earlier this month will prove to be true....

In June, reports said that AT&T, the parent company of Time Warner, who owns Warner Bros’ various gaming studios, was looking to sell WB Games in order to pay off some of its debt. The move reportedly garnered interest from Microsoft, Take-Two, EA and others, but no sale was made for what AT&T reportedly saw as a $4 billion transaction. Now, Bloomberg is reporting that the company has changed its mind, having reexamined the unit’s potential for growth and deciding it was too valuable....

Sony has announced two new colorways of the popular DualSense controller, and they look good. Cosmic Red and Midnight Black controllers are now available for pre-order before their June 11 release, and if you’re interested, you’ll want to grab one now. Who knows how stock will look on release! These controllers don’t come cheap, and the Cosmic Red color comes at even more of a premium, but these new controllers look fantastic....

For years, I heard nothing but complaints about the game. ‘Corridor’ is a word that would give some a horrible flashback of their playthrough, many called Lightning ‘a cold copy of Cloud’, and some simply didn’t like that the game got two sequels. So, when I saw that Final Fantasy 13 was on Xbox Game Pass over the holidays, I knew there was only one thing I could do: find the truth....

This is the sixth episode we’ve done so far and we still don’t have a proper name, but who’s counting? Wait. It’s us. We’re counting. Anyway, this week’s episode features Dorrani, Alex, and Sherif, and this handsome trio is chatting about the week that was - and somehow we don’t spend any time talking about a proper name for this feature. One day we’ll get around to that… one day....
