Despite Clarkson’s recent controversy, which resulted in the cancellation of The Grand Tour, Clarkson’s farm will still be returning in 2023. It’s been a while since we got to check in with Jeremy and Kaleb and their rural misadventures. The show originally hit our screens in June 2021 and provided a lot of laughs as we followed Clarkson and a cast of new characters struggling to manage a 1,000-acre farm in the Cotswolds....
Counter Logic Gaming’s Trevor “Stixxay” Hayes has been through it all. He first joined the League of Legends organization as a substitute back in June of 2015. Nearly a year later, the bot laner won the 2016 North American Spring title in his first ever LCS split. Still a part of CLG in 2020, Stixxay and his teammates finished dead last in the Spring Split, four games behind ninth-place Team Liquid....
Warning: contains spoilers for the Clickbait finale. Criticising Netflix’s Clickbait for implausibility feels a bit like criticising a branch of McDonalds for not having a Michelin star – it’s missing the point. Of course Clickbait is implausible, it’s a McSpicy with fries, not Beluga caviar. It’s trashy and twisty and formulated to keep us watching until it serves up something shaped like an ending, and then to release us back into our lives with the only lasting impression being, ‘Oh yeah, I watched that....
On the surface, any Call of Duty game is plain, simple, and straightforward. Don’t read this as a criticism, however, we’re just saying, they are all linear, visually striking (generally), entertaining, easily digestible shooters on rails for all those of us who just want to shoot something for hours on end with little in the way of consequences. Activision, Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer have a good thing going in this franchise....
As soon as news dropped that Wynonna Earp Season 4 would be the final season of the fan favorite supernatural western to air on Syfy, the next logical question for most fans (including this one) was: could Wynonna Earp Season 5 happen elsewhere? In this age of peak distribution platforms and cult classics revived from the apparent dead for one last hurrah, could there still be a future for Wynonna Earp?...
I swear, I didn’t just review this game because its main protagonist shares my name. But that did put a neat personalized spin on this little indie horror RPG, developed by StarSkipp Games, which is landing on PC today. Perhaps I’m biased in saying this because horror is my lifeblood, but indie horror games always deserve more attention. They come with the potential for uncovering some unique takes on horror - a genre which, despite its huge versatility, too often gets stuck knee-deep in tropes....
The Nintendo Switch has become the favorite console port choice for pretty much all independent games, not just for adventure games and platformers, but for horror games as well. The latest example is the upcoming retro horror throwback Alisa, from one-person developer Casper Croes. Casper Croes announced on its now successfully completed Kickstarter that Alisa will be indeed be coming to the Nintendo Switch, as well as both PlayStation and Xbox....
“I recorded this ball of slime for a lot of the sounds in the game.” In Carrion, you play as an otherworldly organism that attempts to free itself from captivity. Described as a “reverse horror game,” Carrion puts a spin on the sci-fi horror genre by putting us in control of the otherworldly force, rather than humanity. In this sense, composer Cris Velasco created a fitting soundtrack by matching the game’s supernatural themes with striking creativity....
Despite complaints about bugs in the older gen systems, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a fantastic open-world RPG set in a stunning dark world that more than lives up to its namesake. It’s a deep and atmospheric RPG with some of the best world-building seen in the genre and an epic sense of scale and depth. This is the reason why many gamers are willing to look past the many issues that are plaguing the game on base hardware....
Anyone looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077 will be happy to know that the game won’t end up delayed again — at least, it shouldn’t be. Cyberpunk 2077’s developer CD Projekt Red believes that the game will already be in circulation by the time the studio provides the next update for its fiscal quarter. CD Projekt Red releases a fiscal update every quarter-year and every half-year. In the studio’s latest update video released Thursday, CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said that by the time the studio’s next report comes out, Cyberpunk 2077’s release will have already happened, which is good considering the game’s release history....
T-Bug is a character that players will meet early on in their journey through Cyberpunk 2077. She’s a talented netrunner who helps V and Jackie Welles early on in their missions, but unfortunately, her involvement in Cyberpunk 2077’s story ends too early. This article contains spoilers for Cyberpunk 2077. Despite all of the bugs and flaws that came with Cyberpunk 2077’s launch that some have argued was premature, the characters and side missions around them are as interesting as the main questline itself....
Cyberpunk 2077 topped PS4’s digital chart last month despite PlayStation recommending it still not be played on a base console. After six months of waiting, rumors, and endless questions to CD Projekt Red, Sony finally allowed Cyberpunk 2077 to return to the PS Storefront in June. However, Cyberpunk’s return came with a caveat. A recommendation from PlayStation that the game not be played on a PS4 and only those planning on playing it on a PS4 Pro or a PS5 should go ahead and give it a first try or a second chance....
Bandai Namco confirms the details of Dark Souls 3’s DLC plans, revealing when the first of the two planned expansions will release for the critically-acclaimed game. While most gamers probably have yet to complete the ultra-difficult Dark Souls III, some may have already conquered the game and are looking forward to what’s next for the franchise. Well, similarly to the games that preceded it, Dark Souls III has DLC on the way, and Bandai Namco has now revealed some details on the game’s first DLC offering....
Dark Souls 3 producer Atsuo Yoshimura appears to suggest that Dark Souls VR is in the work, saying that FromSoftware is ‘hoping’ to bring the franchise to virtual reality headsets. Over the years, fans of FromSoftware’s incredibly difficult action RPG series Dark Souls have found unconventional ways to play the game. In addition to players beating Dark Souls’ ultra-hard bosses with their voices and even using their feet on the controller, Dark Souls 3’s final boss has been beaten with a dance pad and another player beat the first Dark Souls with a Guitar Hero peripheral....
Red Hook Studios recently unveiled a new teaser trailer for Darkest Dungeon 2. Titled “A Glimmer of Hope," the reveal comes alongside news that early access will become available in 2021 via the Epic Games Store. The trailer presents a narrative that picks up right where the first game ended. Even if you managed to lead a party of broken souls to defeat the Avatar of the Crawling Chaos, it is revealed that there is no stopping the end of the world — you only managed to delay its awakening....
Survival horror games are as much about surviving the odds as they are about facing their many horrors — whether this is through encounters with increasingly tougher enemies, resource and inventory management, or a combination of the three. In Days Gone, that challenge is taken to a whole new level with its aptly named Survival Mode. In this mode, players are not only faced with the increased challenge of scarcer resources and tougher enemies that deal more damage, but they also have to contend with the removal of the HUD and the option to fast travel....
Not too long ago, Days Gone’s creative director John Garvin offered up a slew of new gameplay details regarding the forthcoming action-adventure release from Sony and Bend Studio that provides insights into customization, difficulty, and more. Building on that information, Garvin also discussed how much of a role the protagonist Deacon St. John’s motorcycle plays in the title, with the creative director confirming that players will be able to upgrade it in several different ways....
DC recently hired Daniel Cherry III, a former executive from Activision Blizzard where he spent two years as Chief Marketing Officer of Esports. Once a creative powerhouse flying high on intellectual properties as ubiquitous as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and all the other four-color Super Friends, DC ran into the kryptonite iceberg otherwise known as the year 2020. In February the comic book company ended its relationship with Co-Publisher Dan DiDio, who served 10 years in that position alongside Jim Lee....
Zack Snyder’s Justice League was the best gift that fans of Snyder’s vision of the DC Universe could have asked for: a four-hour, fully restored version of the film that tragedy (and perhaps a bit of studio politics) had cruelly snatched away from the director before he could complete it the first time. Snyder finally got to finish Justice League the way he wanted to, and while fans and critics alike can argue in good faith about the merits of the film itself, it’s clear that this version of it—unlike the truncated 2017 theatrical release—is the movie that Snyder set out to make....
The end is never the end when it comes to the average Souls games. Just like Dark Souls and Bloodborne after it, Demon’s Souls on the PlayStation 5 offers players a host of content long after the credits roll. Beyond encouraging replay value through a New Game + that progressively gets harder, Demon’s Souls’ experimental gameplay incentivizes return playthroughs time and time again. While there isn’t much new content, BluePoint Games weren’t content simply remaking Demon’s Souls as it was on the PS3....
