Under fire Far Cry 2is a lot of things, based on the memories I have from playing it a decade ago. First and foremost, I recall Far Cry 2: Parasitic Pain, which tasks you with running around begging for pills to stave off a growing infection. Next comes Far Cry 2: Buddy Bonanza, which lets you make lots of lovely AI friends, charge into battles together, and then hide while they die....
Peeks behind the scenes of the pretty RPGs I still say theHylicsgames are some of the prettiest around, with their striking mix of claymation and video capture. So I’m delighted to realise that, unbeknowst to me, creator Mason Lindroth occasionally give behind-the-scenes peeks at props and animations on Twitter. It is very interesting to see those original handcrafted figures. And it is very funny to discover that the process of animating one character’s hands involved wearing a little cardboard green screen like a shroud while waggling a sexy gloved arm through the hole....

Not a bad price for a £50 game and £100 CPU. AMD recently announced that certain Ryzen 5000 processors come with free copies ofCompany of Heroes 3, so if you’re looking forward to therather promising WW2 RTS, due to debut on February 23rd, this is a sneaky way of getting the game (normally £50) and a ~£100 processor for less than £100.

They’ve announced Titan will be out for realsies on January 31st, when it will unshackle itself from its early access chains while forcing thousands more workers into indentured labour.

Ooh, you’re in for a treat I played Returnal last year and can confirm that it is splendid, and also that you will grow to hate the kamikaze squid in the final area with every fibre of your being. Presuming you get that far. Watch on YouTube There’s nothing revelatory in that PC features trailer, though ray-tracing and DLSS support are nice to have. The most notable detail on the tech front is thatyou’ll need a whopping 32GB of RAMto meet the recommended system specs....
Everything we know about Stalker 2, including how the War in Ukraine has affected development What is the situation with Stalker 2: Heart Of Chornobyl?The much-awaited survival horror FPS from Ukrainian developers GSC Game World has been in development for over a decade now, but its release is seemingly drawing ever-nearer. It’s the first new game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series since 2009’s Call Of Pripyat, and its rich dark atmosphere and sumptuous trailers have got a lot of people very excited to dive back into the mutated and deadly Chornobyl Exclusion Zone....
Good noises, but time will tell if they amount to anything The EU have voted to push for reform in the videogame industry, backing a report that takes aim at everything from loot boxes to human rights violations tied up with gold-farming. The report includes calls for better parental control options, “harmonised rules” compelling sellers to show more information about game content, and a clamp down onthird-party skin gambling. Those are all laudable goals, but time will tell how much change this actually amounts to....
Tails: The Backbone Preludes exists, probably won’t explain anything Like Backbone, Tails - a pun, because the game is story-focused, and all the characters in it are anthropomorphic animals - is a “post-noir” game set in a post-apocalyptic Vancover. The four characters in the micro-trailer above are all in Backbone, so my prediction is that Tails will be basically the preliminary chess game putting them in place on the board for the start of Backbone....
Vote now! Last time, you decided thatprogrammable party members are better than optional grinding. I can respect that. Yeah, it’s sometimes fun to turn your brain off and grind out a bit, but there’s a lot to say for doing the work up front to get your party and builds running correctly then just watch them go. This week, I ask you to choose between one thing which speaks to my inner teenager, and one thing which speaks to my inner child....
It was inevitable In games it’s often a delight to be proven wrong. Such as, for example, my longstanding belief thatDwarf Fortresswould never make the biggest and most important change it possibly could, and fit itself with an interface fit for purpose. Bay 12 Games have, of course, gone further than that, and released it for general sale on the biggest shop in the business after sixteen years as freeware. There’s even a charming new graphics overhaul to replace the famous ASCII symbols which, depending on who you ask, might not have technically counted as “graphics” at all....
