Originally released in the 90s for free with boxes of Chex cereal, Chex Quest was a total conversion for id Software’s massively popular FPS that toned down the violence and attempted to teach nutritional values to children. It may have failed in that latter goal, but it was still a really solid shooter....

Curse of the Dead Gods is another new entry into the growing canon of roguelikes out there, this time from Passtech Games and Focus Home Interactive. It’s okay if you missed this game with Loop Hero and Hades dominating the narrative this year. We understand: there are only so many hours in the day. However, the Curse of the Dead Gods is another brilliant roguelike. It’s difficult, gritty, and complicated. Beautiful (but also pretty scary) temples swarming with monsters and traps await you....

David Fincher is pretty selective when it comes to work and that’s hardly a quality in him that can be criticized, as most of his work throughout his career has been highly praised. Now, just fresh off landing himself an exclusive four-year deal with Netflix that will allow Fincher to fully define his creative efforts the way he wants, the director has some thoughts for some of the industry’s practices....

Demon’s Souls on PlayStation 5, despite being a remake, is one of the finest video games of the year.

Despite being a well-made adaptation of its classic 2D predecessors, the game underperformed financially and had “not reached an acceptable profit point.” There are many things to say regarding Nintendo’s attempt at using the premium pricing model for a mobile title, but despite its poor sales, Nintendo is still committed to mobile gaming for the future....

[UPDATE: With King’s Fall being brought up to light level 390, we are reposting our Challenge Mode guides for any Destiny players that may need assistance. In order to complete the challenge, fireteams need to wait to detonate the orbs until 16 have accumulated on the battleground. That means staggering Oryx but not going to detonate four times, and fighting the Echo of Oryx four times. Then once there are 16 orbs on the ground, detonate them all and that completes the challenge....

For now, things are largely the same inside of Destiny 2 as they have been since the Beyond Light expansion delay. With an extra 50 days to fill, it’s likely that the Season of Arrivals has been stretched out a bit, with expected quests like the second part of the Exodus mission, getting pushed further out to help fill the time. Thankfully, annual events like the Solstice of Heroes are still on track and approaching rapidly....

It has been a big day for Destiny fans as Bungie finally pulled the curtain back on the upcoming sequel, Destiny 2.

Changes are coming soon to the fan-fashioned Titan ability dubbed Titan skating, which is especially prevalent and powerful in Destiny 2 on PC. In its latest blog, developer Bungie said it is not looking to remove Titan skating from the game completely, but will eliminate the most extreme forms of it that can only be achieved by using unconventional input methods on mouse and keyboard. If all goes as planned, players who play on console and those PC players who are not taking advantage of input methods like keybinding and macros should not experience any difference after the change....
