Quakecon Will Be Digital Only Again This Year

Previously held in-person in Dallas, Texas, the impact of the pandemic means this won’t be possible, at least for this year. The convention will take place digitally from 18th - 20th August. “Like you, we’re disappointed to not return to Dallas this year. An event of this size requires months of planning, and in this case, we had to make decisions when there was still too much uncertainty to commit to successfully executing an in-person QuakeCon,” reads a statement shared on Twitter....

Rimworld Ban Overturned In Australia Following Successful Appeal

The notoriously sensitive Australian Classification Board initially refused to grant RimWorld a rating in March after its publisher Double Eleven Limited submitted the game for an upcoming “multi platform” launch, prohibiting it from release and effectively banning it from sale. The decision even affected the long-available Steam version of RimWorld, preventing new purchases from being made on Valve’s digital store. No specific reason was given for the board’s decision at the time, with its website only referencing its usual boilerplate copy for games refused a rating, saying RC titles are those that “depict, express or otherwise deal with matters of sex, drug misuse or addiction, crime, cruelty, violence or revolting or abhorrent phenomena in such a way that they offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults to the extent that they should not be classified....

Rockstar Acknowledges Gargantuan Grand Theft Auto 6 Leak

In a statement published this afternoon on Twitter, as the company returned to work, Rockstar admitted it had suffered a “network intrusion” - a hack - from which the early development footage of GTA 6 had been taken. Rockstar said it hoped the hack would have no impact on its live services - such as GTA Online - and insisted the leak would not impact the development of the game long-term....

Season Two S Updates Can T Stop Halo Infinite Feeling Like An Incomplete Slog

I’m an ardent, long-time fan of the franchise, but it’s profoundly aggravating that I can’t opt out of it, not least because at its best, Halo’s multiplayer - whilst not without its issues - remains incredibly good fun. I’ve long considered it one of the fairest of its ilk, a game that awards not time spent but skill, effectively levelling the playing field. It’s you, it’s them, and it’s standard loadouts and a handful of special weapons and equipment items - camo, overshields and the like - that periodically spawn in around the map....

Someone Should Make A Game About Jack Reacher

Reacher has very little baggage - either emotional or actual, preferring to criss-cross the USA with little more than a travel toothbrush - yet trouble seems to follow him around. He is constantly butting heads with gangs of hoods, lowlifes and/or mercenaries yet triumphs through sheer force of will. Parachute him into any GTA and Reacher would do just fine. He has already bounced from page to screen, from those two Tom Cruise movies (first, good; second, awful) to the recently launched Prime Video series starring the imposing Alan Ritchson, a rugged JCB digger made flesh....

I feel better for it, though, I feel refreshed, as if the knots in my mind have been undone and restitched....
