Black Myth: Wukong, the long, long-awaited actionRPGcentred around classic Chinese literature, just got another trailer atGamescom. The trailer gives us a good look at Black Myth: Wukong’s souls-like gameplay after years of waiting for the game to be launched. While we’re still quite a way off from being able to play it ourselves, the game is clearly coming along nicely with much to show for itself after so long in the oven....
Charles Cecil, Revolution Software founder and creator ofBroken Sword, isn’t sure if “point-and-click is relevant for 2023.” He’s banking that it still can be though, with a remake of the first game and a new sixth installment revealed atGamescomlast month. “Anybody that assumes [they are or aren’t relevant] is a bit of an idiot. Ultimately, all that matters is whether the people that play games [think they are].” For me, the point-and-click genre brings up memories of growing up in the ‘90s....
We’re long overdue for anotherTomb Raidergame. But if the rumour mill is to be believed, we’ll finally get one soon.A recent update to the Tomb Raider websiteonly ignited these hopes, and now aCall of Dutycrossover event might have proven us all right - only if quite an unexpected way. Instead of opting for her recent design, this new Call of Duty skin brings back classic Lara Croft, with her iconic turquoise tank top of long braid....
Let’s be honest, some of the best and most interesting characters in fiction are the villains. Whether it be Darth Vader, Thanos, or anyone in between, while their motives and actions might be downright despicable, they’re some of the most famous characters to ever grace the big screen for a reason. You don’t often get the chance to play the villain though, and that’s what makesDisney’s Villainousso unique. A tabletop game where you step into the baddie’s shoes and try to have the plot of their movie play out differently....

Tears of the Kingdomcame out four months ago, but I still see Link everywhere I go. Or, at least, I see that the characters I’m playing as in other video games would be vastly improved if they had some of Link’s powers from the most recent Zelda game. This thought has hit me multiple times while playingBaldur’s Gate 3. I’m in Act 2 now, and three of the battles I’ve hit so far in this portion of the game have been set in multilevel structures....
I never finishedFinal Fantasy 14:Endwalker. There, I said it. It has been long enough since it released that I’m comfortable admitting that having to constantly wait in server queues as I desperately tried to finish the main quest to write my review just wasn’t worth the hardship. My attention span isn’t great - pour one out for my neurodivergent brain - so I wasn’t interested in waiting in a line that lasted hours (even though I’m British) or only putting in a short session to progress the narrative when I knew getting up to do something else would risk me getting booted out with nothing to show for it....
Any video game series worth its salt has its very own set of plushes for fans to collect, so naturally a series as famous and long-running asFinal Fantasyhas a lot of them. Pulling from all of its games, Final Fantasy’s plush collection is a large one, and those of you who want to buy some might want to pick one game for now and stick to it. However, if you’re on the hunt for plushes that embody the entire series, thenSquare Enix’s new Chocobo and Moogle plushes might be for you....
Look, I just have to say it. I like Miles’ new suit. Whether you’ve playedSpider-Man 2or not, you’ve likely seen the new suit Miles dons at the end of Spider-Man 2 all over the internetas the entire gaming community stands as one to say “nah”. But I defy these naysayers, and rise alone to say “yeah”. My favourite suits for Miles are the Sportswear and City Sounds suits, because both of them feel like they belong to him....
Update 2/08: Hasbro’s representation has sent us a statement about the usage of AI in future games: “We’re very excited about the partnership with Xplored, but want to clarify that this partnership is centered around future applications within board games and not the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying game or its upcoming virtual tabletop.” Last week, Hasbro, publisher of Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and dozens of other board games, announced that it will be partnering with Xplored, the creators of Teburu, a digital board game system that integrates physical and digital elements....
