Being able to play basically any big game on a (relatively) small device is a great idea. What I like about Valve’s Steam decksHowever, the deck can be a bit bulky and its battery doesn’t last at times. So the idea of a new tiny handheld dedicated to streaming Game Pass and Xbox titles sounds great! However, the $300 price tag seems too high in a world where the Steam Deck and Switch OLED are roughly in the same price range. Microsoft and Logitech announced today, the new G Cloud handheld game console is a tiny Android-powered device built around…

Like any great mystery novel, my favorite moment in Beacon Pines was know what is going to happenEarly on, protagonist Luka Vanhorn tries to stop his best friend’s sister from dragging him home for household chores. That strategy failed spectacularly, but it was my only option at the time. In later scenes, I collect the new Mad-Libs-like word choice “shit” and quickly realize that being “a little bit of shit” works much better for Roxy.This is the first big decision to split the choose-your-own-style adventure Beacon Pines in the middle. It’s a little more interactive than a full-blown visual novel…

A relatively quiet month for the Switch and series releases that skipped Nintendo consoles for a decade led to a slight drop in Nintendo sales in the US, according to the latest NPD Group sales survey. Data is from July 31 to August 26 and is in dollars unless otherwise noted. Publishers may provide digital data, but Nintendo does not. In hardware, the PlayStation 5 took top honors in both dollar and unit sales, beating out Switch, which held the unit sales crown for the past six months (February -> July). No specific sales numbers have been disclosed, but the…
This design seemingly made no sense at the time but went on to revolutionize gaming.
One of the best links to the past of the isometric action-adventure game Tunic is the manual. This is an in-game instruction that fills up gradually during the quest. Inspired by the glossy manual included with the game years ago, Tunic’s information book adds intricate illustrations, maps, and tips to help you along your journey.According to Tunic lead developer Andrew Shouldice, the game’s manual is designed to capture the physical sensations found in the booklets that accompany classic 8-bit games. “It’s more fun to flip through something that feels real,” Scholtis explained.

Red is the color associated with the most heightened emotions such as passion, violence and pain.It also happens to be a hue no place brave It is frequently invoked in the most harrowing and most important scenes. Thorn, its unfriendly hero, frequently immerses himself in pools of blood and disembodied corpses, his blades stained with the entrails of his enemies. But such vignettes, interspersed with the game’s elaborate pixel-art environments, lush emerald forests, and desolate, rust-colored ruin sights, brimm with vivid detail and pristine textures. Every few scenes you’ll even come across a truly impressive sight, like the completely dried-out…
Valorant’s 5.06 patch notes are here, pointing out bad behavior. The main focus of the patch is the big changes to the pearl map we’ll be detailing, but what really piqued my curiosity was the all-new disruptive gameplay-based behavior indicator. In each game, Valorant points out players who have been flagged for engaging in disruptive behavior. The patch notes briefly state: This is in addition to Unrated, Competitive, Spike Rush, and Replication, with more modes in the works. Riot hasn’t clarified what exactly that means, so it’s anyone’s guess what destructive behavior means in this context. Do you mean using…
