The controversial crate system that was recently announced by the developers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been explained in a little bit more detail ahead of the Early Access Month 4 Update for the game. In his explanation to players, Brendan Greene reveals what’s at the heart of the forthcoming crate and key system for Battlegrounds and why they’re choosing to roll these features out prior to the game being complete. “The idea of testing, prior to full implementation, is at the heart of adding every new game feature in our game, and this includes the crate and key system which we beli ..read more

When EA revealed that Star Wars Battlefront 2 would not only feature a full-fledged campaign mode and free DLC, many fans whooped and clamored at the notion of the Worst Company in America Award winners finally having a change of heart. Could it be that EA have finally changed their ways? Do they care about their fans? Well, they’ve published indie games recently, that’s good! They gave Mirror’s Edge a second chance! It was a bit pooey, but that’s not necessarily their fault. Have EA finally taken a miraculous turn from fiddle-playing robot Satan to a sparkling Jesus Christ? Hahaha, no. You se ..read more

TinyBuild’s Party Hard and TinyBuild’s Party Hard Tycoon are two very different games. The former is a game where you absolutely loath parties and instead of head-spinning until your brain drowns in blood, you “rationally” decide to coat the floor in it by murdering any and all partygoers you can get your hands on. Party Hard Tycoon is the exact opposite. As its title suggests, Party Hard Tycoon is a party management game where you set up and manage the events that all these spunky victims attend, and who knew it would be such a hard job? Party Hard Tycoon is a game of investment. With your st ..read more

Apparently Bayonetta has debuted well on PC, according to data from Steam Spy.  The re-release of the seven year old hack and slash title has sold around 100K copies according to the site, and they did so deviating away from the usual road to release that most games have. Ditching the pre-release, pre-order hype, Bayonetta simply was announced and launched.  With very little air between the two events.  It seems like the pent-up demand for Bayonetta to arrive on PC was in fact real making the release profitable for SEGA. It didn’t hurt that Bayonetta was a great port, according ..read more

The Last Night has been announced for Xbox One and PC, offering artistic cyberpunk platformer. “The Last Night is what we call post-cyberpunk – it’s not the kind of dystopia the genre is famous for, rather it depicts an alternate direction for society. One where the fight for survival doesn’t mean food and water, but a purpose for living. Human labour and creativity has been rendered obsolete by AI, so people are now defining themselves by what they consume, not what they create,” says the developer. Further details about the game give the trailer some substance.  The main character is Ch ..read more

Nevertheless, fans of the game will get new colosseums to challenge, and additional sub-quests to play. Upon completing these quests a number players can earn a number of unlockables for the game. Nier: Automata DLC Includes Costumes from the Japanese release (NieR Replicant, for androids 2B, 9S, and A2. Records that add special music tracks to the players’ jukebox.

Image: Electronic Arts For decades, video games have been classified as one of the greatest threats the educational system has ever faced. Whether it’s teachers complaining about students who never take their eyes off their mobile devices or psychologists warning about the possible effects gaming could have on young minds, the dominant narrative asserts that video games and schooling cannot or should not mix. However, this narrow-minded view of gaming ignores video games’ educational potential. While the phrase “educational game” is usually associated with video games designed to teach math, s ..read more

As part of its CES Press conference earlier today, Nvidia announced it will be adding a new feature for its GeForce Experience software, called Freestyle, which allows players to add more than 30 image filters to whatever game they’re playing. In essence, these function like the filters used on Instagram where users can use a filter of their choice to spruce up their own pictures; and Freestyle allows users to do the same thing except with their PC games. For example, players can apply sepia to fade the colors and give the game a more dated feel or apply black and white to skip the c ..read more

PUBG is getting a very powerful new weapon.  The VSS Silenced Sniper Rifle will be introduced to the game shortly.  In its current state, Sniper Rifles in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are somewhat hard to come by.  And even when you do, you often times need to find a scope to use it best.  Furthermore, they’re incredibly loud.   Meaning that anytime you fire one you’re sure to give away your position. Apparently the VSS will come equipped with both a scope and silencer.  I think we can safely say this will quickly become the most sought after guns in the gam ..read more
