Is there a ‘Tony Hawk in Dark Souls’ mod yet? What comes to mind when you hearDark SoulsPro Skater? What the flip, probably (because, you know, skateboarders flip. No?). A mod that lets you slay hollowed enemies as Tony Hawk is a good guess, but Dark Souls Pro Skater is almost the reverse. A clip went viral over the weekend showing praise-the-sun-guy Solaire shredding around the game’s opening Firelink Shrine. And yes, it looks as cool as it sounds....

Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlers has a demo out now, too Good Pokémon-a-likes continue to pop up on PC, and I just found another really cute one hiding in the tall grass of Steam demos.Kādomon: Hyper Auto Battlersnaturally has you collecting colourful creatures before you force them into an animal fight pit against other probably-not-enthusiastic participants. But this one mixes in some ofSlay The Spire’sroguelike structure and the result has you compulsively resisting the “just one more game” urge....

Pharaoh ‘nuff Every Total War is about a big bunch of bastards vying to be king of the bastards, andTotal War: Pharaohlooks no different. It’s got eight wannabe King B’s to choose from, and a new 14-minute video from developers Creative Assembly explains how four of these play differently depending on their particular skills for combat, production and diplomacy. I like how each faction leader is introduced by swaggering towards the camera, like an Anchorman rumble:...

Let me do less! Having fallen in love withVampire Survivors, a game you can play with one hand in a packet of jelly snakes, I can’t help but think it’s ruinedDiablo 4for me. I want nothing more than to play it with an auto-attack feature popped on, where all of the blood novas and axe spins are handled for me by a satisfying toggle in a menu. In a game about as engaging as mowing the lawn, I feel like it makes sense to embrace the tedium and let me play as if I’m barely present....

He’s popped up in the Public Test Build! This year’s Summer Game Fest gave usawkward celebrity cameos aplenty, but one icon stood out from the crowd with an energy usually reserved for talk show hosts, lottery winners, and golden retrievers. Yes, Nic Cage showed up to announce he’d soon be a playable character in horror multiplayer gameDead By Daylight. And now he is, starting today. Nic Cage plays himself, Nic Cage, a role that he’s mastered over the years....

Visiting sites around the game’s ninth-century city will unlock real-world context from experts The next Assassin’s Creed game will continue the series’ past mixture of stab-people-in-the-face stealth-action video game and learn-interesting-things-about-real-places history simulator with a feature dedicated to teaching you about its ninth-century setting of Baghdad. Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s History of Baghdad feature follows in the footsteps of the Discovery Tour modes forOrigin’s Egypt,Odyssey’s GreeceandValhalla’s Viking Englandin trying to offset the long-running series’ love of ridiculous sci-fi nonsense in its overarching plot about god-like alien things and magical MacGuffins by imparting actual knowledge about the real-life inspiration for its setting....

But it isn’t quite the overnight success it appears BattleBit Remastered, the low-poly, massively multiplayer shooter perhapsbest described as Battlefield by way of Roblox, has sure shifted a lot of copies since it became a viral sensation a couple of weeks ago. BattleBit Remasteredlaunched into Early Access on Steamon June 15th, and is quickly approaching two million sales in the two-a-bit-weeks since, according to a recent interview with coder SgtOkiDoki over onHow to Market a Game....

Fans of Dirt Rally and Mudrunner need apply On the day of our interview,Exo Rally Championshipprogrammer and composer Rhys Lindsay was preparing for a race on a hostile alien planet, and feeling pretty good about his chances. He spent a full three minutes surveying the pockmarked, potentially lethal landscape from above with a drone, marking the most dangerous terrain in advance and picking out a relatively safe route between the checkpoints....

July’s leavers include Spelunky 2 Here’s July’s list of Game Pass additions: Should you want something new to play right now, console friends can jump back into San Andreas again. Meanwhile, PC folks could check out the seventh mainline Sword And Fairy game, which is the action-RPG series that plays on Chinese mythology and seemingly has a blast doing so. I’m somewhat interested in the similarities between Sword And Fairy andFinal Fantasy, in the sense that they both began as beloved turn-based series before evolving into some of the most bonkers-looking slash ‘em ups around....

Windy the tumbleweed “may coerce you into committing senseless, unspeakably brutal acts of violence” One recentFallout: New Vegasmod adds a murderous psychic tumbleweed called Windy to your party, further cementing the game as the best in the series. ‘Wait a second, that doesn’t make any sense,’ you might be saying about a game where people don’t use bedsheets to sleep. But the mod is only accessible with the Wild Wasteland trait turned on, which allows all manner of silly and unrealistic things to happen in-game....

130MB/s reads and A2/V30 ratings are impressive for this price. A few months ago we posted about a deal that saw a512GB Micro SD card available for £40. Now, things are improving - and you can get a similar model, Samsung’s 512GB Evo Plus, for just £31.50 at Amazon.
