A couple weekends ago, I was wrapping presents and needed to throw something familiar on the TV that I could watch while I worked. I revisited Raiders of the Lost Ark earlier this year, but didn’t manage to squeeze in rewatches of the otherIndiana Jonesfilms before Dial of Destiny hit cinemas in June. Months later, with no newmovieto cram for, I opted to just throw Last Crusade on, and I was not disappointed....
I was thinking about In The Valley of Gods last week, as I’m wanton to do. I’m playingThe Invincibleat the moment, which is basically a sci-fi walking simulator in the vein ofFirewatch, and I got wistful. Seven and a half years after Campo Santo’s stunning debut, the studio’s next game is still over half a decade away, if Steam is to be believed. Steam says that In The Valley of Gods is due to release in December 2029, so it’s officially six years away now, provided it doesn’t get delayed again....

Lucia is technically not the first female protagonist in GTA history....
Mortal Kombathas changed a lot over the years, but it’s most obvious when you look at the women in the series. In recent years, their costumes have started to cover up more skin, particularly if fighting in a bikini was never really in keeping with their personality in the first place. However, this makes things a little awkward when a modern game wants to pay homage to the classics. This is where Li Mei comes in....
It’s expected that the long-awaitedNintendo Switch 2(or whatever they decide to call it) will be revealed and release at some point this year. Rumors and comments from leakers have been piling up over the past couple of years, so much so that it would be astounding ifNintendodoesn’t reveal its Switch successor in the next 12 months. Industry analysts appear to be of the same opinion. Speaking withGamesindustry.biz(thanksVGC), industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto of Katan Games believes that the next piece of major hardware from Nintendo is nailed on to drop at some point in 2024....
Spoilers for The Dark Urge origin in Baldur’s Gate 3 ahead. InBaldur’s Gate 3, morality isn’t always black and white, so the matter of which choices are the most evil is subjective. But if we’re to put a line anywhere, I’d say that putting the Lord of Murder in complete control of tens of thousands of thralls is probably the worst outcome for Faerûn. It’s hard to imagine it getting much worse....
