Cyberpunk 2077starts out with you choosing a Lifepath, which is essentially one of three backstories you get to pick from that will radically alter the beginning of the game. Each Lifepath eventually leads to the same conclusion, allowing you to play through the same story no matter which Lifepath you chose, but it’s possible that this might not be the same when it comes to the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel that’s currently in development....

Cyberpunk 2077 is decent now, maybe even good. The base game and Phantom Liberty expansion are in good enough standing that I’ve resolved to finally play it next year, especially now that CD Projekt Red won’t be releasing any more major updates. It’s not all it was promised to be, but still pretty good! Phantom Liberty has even made at least one member of TheGamer’s GOTY list. The developers have been working for years on redeeming the game’s botched launch and the many grievances players had with it....

I’m not one to toot my own gamer horn, but I’m pretty good atGuitar HeroandRock Band. It’s been a while since I last checked, give or take a decade, but I once held the top score in the world for Snow Patrol’s You’re All I Have in Guitar Hero 5. Granted, it was DLC. I bet only a few thousand people bought it, but it remains an accolade I’ll take to my grave....

As you are no doubt aware,Peter Griffin is officially in Fortnite. After years of jokes about the very thought of him getting his own skin, it’s become a reality. Which of course means there’s also a bunch of Family Guy references inFortnitenow, added alongside Peter and the other new crossovers. Fans were quick to dive into the game - if they could with the long wait times - to find all the jokes, and here they are....

Since it’s midway through November, the holiday season is well and truly upon us. I think if we have to start celebrating the holidays this soon, then advent calendars should be two months long. While I wait for Christmas countdown technology to catch up with that idea, I’ll have to settle for a video game-themed Christmas tree to ease me into the holiday season. Yes, they really are a thing, and they’re available for less right now....

I replayed God of War 3 over the holidays. It was lurking on myPS5hard drive and I fancied an experience where I could turn my brain off and murder some monsters. I didn’t know how much this spontaneous revisit would prepare me forValhalla, a free-to-play roguelite update forGod of War Ragnarokthat essentially acts as a Kratos-centered epilogue. Atreus has embarked on a new journey with Angrboda, leaving Kratos to agonise on an offer to become a new God of War in Tyr’s place, as Freya seeks to build a more prosperous world no longer under Odin’s reign....

Yesterday, a huge Rockstar leak was shared to the internetrevealing cancelled games such as Bully 2 and GTA Tokyo, scrappedGTA 5DLC likeLiberty City, allegedemployee details, and GTA 5’s source code. It has now come to light that this information may have been purchased for as little as $2,000. Alleged leaked DMs show that TMP (TickleMePickles, otherwise known as Austinator Modz and XBL Dragonfly) was part of a group buy for the leaked info....

Earlier this month,GTA Onlinefinally gave playersthe ability to purchase police vehicles, something that longtime fans of the game have been wanting for quite some time. Not only are they kind of neat to drive around in, but GTA Online players have now taken this opportunity to take their roleplaying game to the next level. Ever since police vehicles were introduced, several players have taken to the streets of Los Santos in an attempt to police public servers and make sure other players are on their best behavior....

Quick Links When rumours arose of aFinal FantasySoulslike being in production, the reaction was anything but normal, because that’s not exactly a normal idea, is it? A series that got much stricter with spin-offs suddenly making a Soulslike? Bizarre stuff and the poor performance and visuals of the original demo did little to sell it. And yetStranger of Paradisehas gifted itself the illustrious prize of being one of the best Final Fantasy games in a long time, in no small part to protagonist Jack....

But there’s a challenge that shines above the rest, and it’s the one that makes you face Culex. Culex is a mysterious character who appears behind a mysterious black door in Monstro Town....

Quick Links Before you’re allowed access to the non-stop fun train that is monster synthesis inDragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, you’ll have to overcome some tricky challenges in the main storyline first. Possibly the most difficult of those challenges is the second arena tournament in Endor Colosseum, which you must beat to access new pastures and new monsters. While a bit of level grinding is the solution to most of the enemies you’ll find in this battle gauntlet, the third and final battle is nothing to be sniffed at and may force you to think harder about team composition and where you spend your skill points....
