On this page: To fight the Crystalian, we’d recommend using one of three options....

In a post announcing the news, Epic called affected services and servers “out-of-date”, and said it was making the move as it transitions to only supporting its Epic Online Services “with its unified friends system, voice chat features, parental controls, and parental verification features”. The good news is most affected games will still be playable in offline solo and multiplayer modes when servers go down on 24th January. That applies to the following titles:...

We now know all of the games included in the PlayStation Plus Premium catalogue at launch and it’s enough to hit Sony’s promises, certainly, though there are still odd omissions. The lack of 60Hz for some PS1 games (for now) also points to a rather rushed release, despite the extra weeks we’ve waited on these shores. So, what can Sony do to build on this launch and improve the new PlayStation Plus Premium further?...

“I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed this game,” says DrDrepper, before going on to do a pretty good job of telling us how much they enjoyed the game: “It’s simple and yet so well done and addictive.” “The game I never knew I needed yet cannot put down,” says ukaskew37 who’s similarly taken with it all. And finally here’s jabberwocky: “Good clean fun.” I see what you did there!...

The show started with another look at Dying Light 2, and a sunset-drenched “modern dark ages” post-apocalypse full of parkour gameplay. Techland’s long-awaited sequel arrives 7th December. Next up was an extended look at Microsoft Flight Simulator with the chatty Jorg Neumann, who talked more about the game’s upcoming sixth world update covering Germany, Austria and Switzerland which is due on 7th September. After that, the Reno Air Race competitive multiplayer expansion arrives this autumn, letting you race against friends or others worldwide....

The latest video discusses Fallout: New Vegas, and Todd Howard, executive producer at Bethesda and one of its most public figures, revealed the game was initially conceived as an expansion for Fallout 3. Howard said following the success of Fallout 3, there was a “push” internally to ride the momentum the game had created. The decision was made to add a “big” expansion pack to the game. Development on Skyrim at that point had started, so Bethesda considered companies they could have work on it instead....

Bennie served as a designer, writer and producer of numerous games during his time at Interplay in the 1990s, including The Lord of the Rings, Starfleet Academy, plus Starfleet Command and its sequel. On Fallout, Bennie memorably said his career had peaked with the popular naming of its canine companion, Dogmeat. “I didn’t have that much to do with Fallout. A few maps, some bits of the Hub, and some system messages....

I’m going to start with the good news because I like to kick things off with a positive. FIFA 22’s gameplay is a crowd pleaser. It’s slightly slower, more considered, with less emphasis on ridiculous skills and more emphasis on passing. It is a reaction to FIFA 21’s high-scoring fun, which by the end of that game’s life had become something of a joke within the hardcore FIFA community. FIFA 22, then, plays harder....

Released last August, Tell Me Why serves up a deft blend of earnest homecoming drama and mystery thriller, setting its three-episode story against a picturesque rendition of small-town Alaska - all snow-banked streets, crystalline lakes, and icily majestic mountain ranges. It’s another vividly drawn backdrop for Dontnod’s particular brand of narrative adventure, which this time finds real beauty and warmth in the relationship between protagonists Tyler and Alyson - two twins reuniting in circumstances that force them to confront their traumatic past....

Asobo first targeted the US for a bit of a visual makeover in its second-ever World Update back in November 2020, introducing a significant number of improvements to the United States’ multitudinous geological and man-made landmarks.

The report is based on interviews with several of Levine’s former colleagues at Ghost Story Games, the small studio set up by Levine following the launch of BioShock Infinite and his decision to subsequently shutter former studio Irrational Games. These colleagues discuss Levine’s flawed management style, which has led to vast amounts of work being scrapped and staff left with nothing to show for years of their lives. Ghost Story was founded by Levine from the ashes of Irrational, with a hand-picked team of 11 others....

Like other wildlife, Raptors are tameable with a Hunter’s Cloak item - if you feel brave enough. But there’s no way to command them from a motorbike. Fortnite fans have been expecting these dinos to appear since Chapter 2 Season 6 first kicked off two weeks ago. Suspicious-looking eggs around the island have been slowly cracking, with the sounds inside suggesting this wasn’t something left by the Easter bunny. Other changes brought by Fortnite’s update 16....
