Well,we’re finally getting a Zelda movie. Alive action one at that. I’m on the record asnot really ‘getting’ the whole Zelda thing, but I still think a movie is a fantastic idea. It has been beloved since the ‘80s, and a cornerstone in the lives of at least three generations of gamers. It will be tricky to get right, but for the sake of the fans, I hope they do....
In an officialMicrosoft developer blog post, Xbox announced that it’s partnering with Inworld to “build AI game dialogue and narrative tools”. In practice, that means “turning prompts into detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quests, and more”. The use of AI in creative processes such as writing has come under fire over the past few years due to a fear of taking jobs from artists (SAG-AFTRAis still striking partially over concerns of AI), but Microsoft’s ethics statement mainly details consumer-facing concerns rather than worker issues....
There have been a bunch of iconicLegosets over the years, with theStar Warsfranchise contributing a fair few of them. We’ve all dreamed of owning our very own Lego Death Star, and you may get massive Lego sets depicting things like the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing just to name a few. Not all of us have the ability to splash cash on massive Star Wars Lego sets though, so some players have turned to Lego Fortnite to recreate their favorite ships....
Starting a fresh campaign in For The King 2 is a daunting experience. With five starting classes, it can be difficult to decide which of the heroes presented is best suited to saving Farhul from the malevolent Mad Queen. Equally unassuming and bursting with potential, each one of these enterprising freedom fighters brings something unique to the table. The chaos corrupting Farhul brings with it a slew of varied challenges. From deadly combat encounters against the evil forces to dealing with obstacles in the midst of travel, one of the most vital keys to success is securing a diverse pool of talents to choose from....
It’s never occurred to me before, but VR games don’t typically have cutscenes. I’ve played close to 100 VR games over the last five years and I can’t think of a single one - outside of ports like Skyrim and Resident Evil Village - that has actual, conventional cutscenes. It’s easy to see why. Cutscenes are expensive to produce and VR budgets, even for the big games, are still very modest....
During the holidays, I found myself hopping betweenBaldur’s Gate 3andSpider-Man 2as the two major components of my gaming diet. These are, obviously, very different games – one is a roleplaying game based on the fifth edition ofDungeons & Dragonswith turn-based combat, set in a fantasy world with vampires and Mindflayers and dragons, and the other is an action-adventure game with real-time combat, based on a comic book character and set in a somewhat realistic version of New York City....
My wife sometimes struggles with making choices, especially small ones. So whenever we’re doing nothing and want to do something, rather than ask her the wide, gaping question of ‘what do you want to do?’ I present her with a series of choices. Yesterday, after we finally took the Christmas tree down (a day late, thus cursing us forever), I put these choices forward again. Board games, TV shows, movies, andBaldur’s Gate 3were offered up, and to my surprise, she opted for Baldur’s Gate....
Baldur’s Gate 3takes a lot of pride in making its player base question their morality. There are plenty ofchoices that can change the outcome of your game, whether it be choosing sides in an ongoing war or giving a helping hand to some strangers in need. In all three acts, there are certain choices that, while they don’t impact the game overall, can earn you a few raised eyebrows from others....
Summary It looks likeVampire Survivorsmight have some serious competition in the wave-based,Roguelikepart of the market; Death Must Die has a satisfying core gameplay loop, coupled with a charming graphical style, user interface, and character classes reminiscent ofDiablo 2to top it all off. If you’re here to begin with, though, odds are this game hasn’t just caught your eye; you’ve spent the few bucks required, and you’re looking to hit the ground running....
Summary In the modern age of gaming, few things are free. Even free-to-play games likeFortniteorSmiteare full of in-game purchases that range between purely cosmetic and game-breaking. If you’re looking for a truly free-to-play experience, you’d be wise to turn your eyes from consoles to your internet web browser. There are loads of superb games that are free to play on any internet browser. But one genre that has a large library of exceptional titles is choose-your-own-adventure....
If you’re in pursuit of the ultimate gaming experience, you know it’s not just about the console or PC—your throne plays a pretty important role too. Unlike their floor-hugging cousins, pedestal gaming chairs give you that sweet swivel action and a vantage point that keeps you at the heart of the action. Whether you’re dodging bullets, scoring goals, or exploring new worlds, a pedestal chair could be the command center you didn’t know you needed....
One of the main attractions ofEA Sports FC 24is the Career Mode, and a good portion of players engage in the act of managing clubs.

Although finding such players is often complicated, there are several good options available you can acquire....
My partner is half-Kiwi on their dad’s side, which is always fun for family gatherings because I get completely lost in the slang. What the hell is a sprog? I’ve never tried to get to grips with it, mainly because the city I live in - Newcastle - has enough slang of its own that I don’t understand. But along cameBroken Roads, a cRPG styled on the originalFalloutgames, set in a post-apocalyptic Australia....
