At the risk of simply repeating some marketing blurb, “Humanising the battlefield” is apparently one of Relic’s three key “franchise pillars” for Company of Heroes. The other two are “emergent storytelling” and “cinematic warfare,” for those interested, and while those two probably sound a bit more exciting for the average player, it’s the first that probably holds the most importance today. This is because the setting for Company of Heroes 3, due this November, is a delicate one....

In today’s contest you can win a PC copy of What The Golf?! Weird games! I love ’em. Normal is for boring jerks who have regular, important things to do.

Speaking of hot dogs and interesting stuff, we snatched a few copies of Very Serious Golf Simulator What the Golf?...

Publisher Feardemic and new development studio King’s Pleasure have announced action adventure game Cosmic, set for launch in 2022. Set in a “multilayered universe where light and shadow dictate its metaphysical rules” (blimey) you play as Vik. They’re a small, mischievous being whose best and only friend is their own shadow. One day, this shadow goes missing thanks to an errant wish, and Vik wakes up at the bottom of a mysterious world with a brand new, bigger shadow....

Creative Assembly and SEGA have today taken the lid off the first entry in their newly established Total War Saga spin-off series entitled Thrones of Britannia with a trailer and some initial information of what to expect. The game will take place in the British Isles around 878AD, just after the invasion of The Great Heathen Army and will feature an all new ‘highly detailed’ campaign map along with ten new playable factions and new mechanics....

Rhythmic dungeon crawler Crypt of the NecroDancer has received its first update on Steam in five years. A new blog post provides a comprehensive list of the quality of life improvements made for version 3.0.0, including Steam Deck support and a level editor. Most excitingly, it seems even more is on the way from the team at Brace Yourself Games. “You might be saying, ‘Brace Yourself Games, it’s been 5 years....

It’s always a good sign when a game like Curse of the Dead Gods reaches the point it can officially launch out of Steam’s Early Access program. The cel-shaded, almost comic book-stylized game launched into Early Access just as the global pandemic was starting to rear its ugly face back in March of 2020. Passtech Games and Focus Home Interactive have pushed forward and today confirmed its official launch on February 23....

Cyberpunk 2077 likely caught your attention when Keanu Reeves walked on a stage and revealed he would be a character in the game. He plays the part of Johnny Silverhand, the rocker boy with a history of detonating nukes in city centers. The character doesn’t just sound like Reeves though; Silverhand bears the actor’s likeness. In trailers, the resemblance is uncanny, while in-game, it’s a bit of a toss-up. Thanks to new art from one of CD Projekt Red’s concept artists though, it’s clear that having Reeves portray Johnny Silverhand wasn’t always part of the plan....

Cyberpunk does not allow you to change a few key controls. On top of it, the game has a double tap mechanism for dodging that makes the controls very challenging. If you are not used to this double tap mechanic, it is certain that you will be looking to disable the double dodge and then rebind the dodge key in Cyberpunk 2077, and that’s exactly what we are here for. Continue reading this guide until the very end to know how you can get rid of the default dodging and include your custom keybinds to dodge....

In Night City, you can either choose to kill your enemies or simply take them down non-lethally. To be specific, you will have to neutralize the cyberpsycho foes during the Psycho Killer mission. But apart from this, you will be asked to knock out opponents in other missions and side jobs as well. How do you do that? Here’s a guide on how to do non-lethal takedowns using stealth or melee weapons and neutralize enemies....

Cyberpunk 2077’s recent revival includes an uptick in players jumping into Night City on Steam Deck. According to stats shared by Valve, Cyberpunk 2077 is the fourth most popular game on Steam Deck by total hours played, topped only by Stardew Valley, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors - in that order. We’ve already told you about Cyberpunk 2077’s second life. Cyberpunk 2077 initially shifted 13m copies when it arrived for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in December 2020, but interest in the game dropped when word of its technical issues spread....

Days Gone developer Sony Bend has revealed a bunch of new info on the upcoming not-zombie open-world action game during a Q&A session with Game Informer. According to the game’s Creative Director John Garvin, Days Gone does not feature the word zombie at any point; they’re not zombies you see, they’re Freakers. Very different. Oh, and he assures us that it’ll be an ‘awesome’ game too, so that’s good to know....

The recent news that some PlayStation exclusives are getting PC ports just got even more real. A new listing on Steam has popped up for Days Gone, Bend Studio’s 2019 post-apocalyptic adventure. The page details some upgraded PC features and system requirements ahead of the release in Spring 2021. Days Gone is only the beginning, as other titles are slated to hit PC later on. According to Steam, Days Gone follows a drifter and bounty hunter named Deacon St....

Although we’re still waiting on a PC version of Deadly Premonition 2 (which will hopefully be better than the horrid PC version of the first game, which was never fixed) some comfort is coming in the form of SWERY’s The Good Life, which finally has a release date. The game received funding through Kickstarter, raising over $800,000 USD in the process. The game is a “debt repayment RPG” which is pretty much what the Animal Crossing games are....

The Dragon Ball franchise has seen a massive number of video game releases over the years, and most of them have come in the form of fighting games. Considering that the series has a heavy focus on martial arts and superpowered aliens shooting beams at each other, it makes sense that Bandai Namco would see the fighting game genre as the most natural way to translate the series’ concept into an interactive medium....

Back in early 2016, developer Sorath released its first game which came in the form of a fascinatingly bizarre first-person shooter called Devil Daggers. Although the game’s Steam page labels 1990s first-person shooters as one of its primary inspirations, it ultimately boasts a style all its own thanks to its trippy pixelated aesthetic and hyper-focused, minimalist gameplay. Many players ended up loving the little bit of content Devil Daggers had to offer, and fortunately for them, Sorath has finally dropped a follow-up game of sorts....

While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been making news with all its map updates, it may have slipped by many gamers that there is another CoD that has been making some incredible updates. Call of Duty Mobile has been adding all sorts of amazing content, even bringing back classic zombie modes that debuted back in World at War. But the zombie mode had something special added on: a raid mode....

Screenshots for a sequel to Scarface: The World is Yours have appeared online, showing off Las Vegas environments. The screens and concept art arrives courtesy of Mafia Game Videos (via VGC), a YouTube account with a deliciously simple mission. It provides videos of mafia games. Technically, Tony Montana, the game’s hero, wasn’t in the mafia, but we get the idea. Check out the video below: The description reads: “Scarface: The World Is Yours sequel by Radical Entertainment that was cancelled in 2009, Scarface II took place in Las Vegas....

Polish studio CD Projekt Red has confirmed it has recieved a second class action lawsuit from a firm that represents the company’s own investors over the release of Cyberpunk 2077 with claims of the company “misleading” them over the state of the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The second lawsuit was confirmed on the studio’s investor website this past weekend (and spotted by GamesIndustry.biz) and says the “content of the claim, including its subject and scope, is the same” as another the company announced on Christmas Day it was also fighting, which called on the court to “adjudicate whether the actions undertaken by the Company and members of its Management Board in connection with the release of Cyberpunk 2077 constituted a violation of federal laws, i....
