In preparation for El Paso, Elsewhere out next year Developer Strange Scaffold surprise launched El Paso, Nightmare today as part of Steam Scream Fest. The team describe Nightmare as a “mind-shattering extradimensional take on the classic CoD zombies formula” with some emotional baggage on the side. Essentially, it’s a horror FPS that has you up against vampires, werewolves, and angels (the bad kind) across six biomes. This bite-sized FPS acts as a companion piece to next year’sEl Paso, Elsewhere,the previously announced third-person shooter...

Beware the Sperm Lobster I didn’t have the greatest understanding of how one is meant to play a real-time strategy game as a child. It wasn’t a neck-and-neck, ebb-and-flow struggle between two equal powers. Instead I played RTS games as though they were city-builders, with the added bonus of absolutely steamrolling through the AI when I’d had enough fun. This was true of basically every RTS I played back then. InStarcraftI’d amass an army of Protoss Carriers and launch them across the map....

The fantasy action game also detailed its post-launch support Team Ninja also detailedthe game’s Season Pass, which includes three DLC packs (also available for purchase separately) and an exclusive Qinglong Armour cosmetic. The DLC packs promise to add “new officers, new demons, new scenarios, new stages, new weapon types and more.” Wo Long will have two separate editions for PC players, the Standard version and the Digital Deluxe Edition, the latter of which will include the Season Pass, cosmetics, and digital versions of the art book and soundtrack....

We’ve been hands on, and there’s real heft to combat and exploration I’ve done a lot of talking aboutThe Callisto Protocolthis year, starting with the game’sgore system and spiky wallsat Summer Geoff Fest, before finding out itsDie Hard and Shaun Of The Deadinspirations at Gamescom. In-between all the talking? Lots of slides and presentations and absolutely no hands anywhere near controllers. But finally,finally, I’ve played a 90-minute PS5 demo of The Callisto Protocol and can confirm that it felt like a last-gen game in a good way: all photorealistic sweat and blood scrawled on walls, coupled with 360-era exploration and fighting....

A £300 discount on a high-end ultrawide w/ DisplayHDR 600 and G-Sync Ultimate. 38-inch gaming ultrawides are few and far between, and it’s particularly rare to find good deals on them - so that’s why I was excited to see this Dell Alienware AW3821DW on sale with a code from HUKD. When you use codeHUKDAW3821DW, this monitor drops from £1299 to £899, an incredible value for a monitor of this spec....

Endoparasitic is a surprise Halloween treat Nothing frightens me more than not being in control. The fear of an outside force pushing me into the corners of my mind and redecorating however they wish. It’s what should be scary about zombies when they’re not just mindless headshot fodder. This is also the main fear behindEndoparasitic, a top-downhorror gamereleased earlier this week. A research facility suffers a parasitic outbreak, leaving you with one arm, surrounded by mutated monsters....

A great price for a CPU that challenges Intel’s 12900K and Ryzen 7000. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D is one of AMD’s fastest gaming CPUs - and the only one of the top contenders that runs on cheap and widely available AM4 motherboards with DDR4 RAM. Earlier this week we covered a deal for the 5800X3D in the US, and now we’re back to finish the job with a deal for the UK market....

Vote now! Last time, you decided thatrelocatable buildings are better than slide kicks. I often side with functionality over flash but honestly, this is gutting. Still, this is science, and I respect the process. Next up, I am asking you to choose between two things which, if we’re honest with ourselves, are both really about trying to be cool. What’s better: parrying projectiles or customisable horn honks? Never bring a knife to a gun fight, they say....

World’s Edge talk mods, updates, and a quarter century of RTS community When Adam Isgreen, creative director at World’s Edge, first played theAge Of Empiresseries, he was still working at Westwood Studios onCommand & Conquer. “The first thing I was impressed about more than anything with this series was just like, wow! History! That’s really smart," he tells me. “Like, there’s no need to explain anything to people. You don’t have to be like, oh, there’s a laser gun or this is a magic missile....

Scary times with the squad Horror gamesare usually a bit too scary for me to play alone. I actually barely manage to play them at all, though not for lack of trying. Whenever I load them up, I just can’t help but pause every five seconds for a breather.Multiplayer gamesare far more manageable, though, and often also turn stifled screams into contagious laughter as your friends terrorise each other. Evil Dead: The Game...

Instigated by a statement sent to 18,000 employees Meservey sent the message ahead of the Blizzard-Albany QA staff’s union election on October 27th.In her message,Meservey states the company “fully supports the employees’ right to choose how they want to be represented.” But, she continues, “we disagree that a handful of employees should get to decide for everyone else on the future of the entire Albany-based Diablo team.” Meservey went on to say that “We think a direct dialogue between company and employees is the most productive route,” and that “We feel collective bargaining is comparatively slow,” pointing to Raven’s QA testers whosuccessfully unionisedin April: “There have only been three bargaining sessions since the union was certified almost 6 months ago....
