Stage and solve the mystery Novect has garnered a following over the years, thanks to the word-of-mouth campaign around its excellent visual novelThe House in Fata Morgana. Today, Novect announced its next game, project “M”; a murder mystery where the player is both killer and detective. Project “M” will follow a serial murder case through two different lenses. The detective side pursues the truth in an adventure game setup, moving around areas and asking questions of different characters....

Last year artist Neldemade a little conceptbringing the world ofZeldaand playing cards together. Now, thanks to the crazy guys over at Fangamer, these cards are a reality. You can pick up a deckfor just $15, with every single card paying homage to theThe Legend of Zelda. Each suit is replaced by something from theZeldarealm, plus each of the face cards are represented by differentZeldacharacter. Even the backsides of the card are adorned withZeldaimagery....

To sort of promo Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition While most special editions force people to pick up a gargantuan ordeal of a package to get the one goodie you want inside, Nintendo is doing something slightly different forHyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. It’s promoting a new Green Rupee Light either as part of a combo deal for Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition (Switch), set to debut later in May, or as a piecemeal item....

Toy manufacturing companies the world over have come out this week in support of greater protections for intellectual property rights. This comes in the wake of several incidents in which vigilante mobs have borrowed slogans from such companies when carrying out their vengeful acts of violence. I spoke with the CFO (Chief Fun Officer) of Haspro Inc., Norton Atoll, from the company’s House of Fun in Slough, Berkshire, about the campaign and how his company in particular has been affected....

Me and my broken eye were in space A long time ago, Valve and HTCboastedthat their upcoming VR headset — the HTC Vive if you’ve somehow managed to miss it — would cause nausea for “zero percent of players.” That sort of absolute statement got me interested, because if they could fix a problem as common as motion sickness foreverybody, maybe they’d also managed to fix my slightly less common problem too....

Dondoko is a little slice of paradise, a respite from all the action and drama ofLike a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Ichiban is brought there during the course of the story, and it seems like he may never want to leave Dondoko Island. Well, if you the player want to leave and not engage with the minigame, it’ll take some time. RGG Studio tasks the player with doing at least a few things on the island before they’re allowed to skedaddle and get back to the story at hand....

Back in my day, we hadDiablo 1errors over 56K dial-up, and we hated it! But seriously folks,I didhave issues withDiablo 1, and that trend never really stopped happening with every iteration ofDiabloonline play during my lifetime. While many could argue thatDiablo 2was the most stable of them all, I also ran into my own share of online problems. Here’s how to fix the account lock issue inDiablo 4. Option 1: RebootDiablo 4and wait five minutes to log back in Sadly, the account is currently locked error deals withserver-sideissues, and it’s not actually your Battle....

One of these days, I’m going to spend an afternoon finally beatingAnother World. Today, however, is not that day.As promised, the 20th Anniversary edition of the game isnow availablefor Android owners. Between the optional new graphics and control scheme, remastered audio, multiple difficulty levels, and optimization for the Sony Xperia Play, this sounds like a solid re-release. $4.99 might be a bit pricier than some of you are accustomed to, but it’s freakin’Another World!...

I’m in Screenshots don’t really doAtomic Heartenough justice, but that’s perfectly fine when there’s a well-put-together trailer to do the heavy lifting. The team at developer Mundfish promises to bring “insanity” to its first-person action/shooter set in an alternate-history sci-fi Soviet Union. Between the strangely adorable killer robots, the secret-agent protagonist chugging a can of paint, and other double-take-worthy stuff happening in this footage, they’re on the right track. If you or anyone you know is big into ACE Team (Zeno Clash,Rock of Ages), holler at them to come take a look....

WhileTurtle Rock Studios isn’t making more contentfor its FPS zombie shooterBack 4 Blood, theLeft 4 Dead-esque spiritual successor is still getting some attention. This is evidenced by the fact that not only has the game had a small update recently, but Denuvo has also been removed. As noted onSteamDB, a change which occurred yesterday spells it out in black and white: “Removed 3rd-Party DRM,” referring specifically to Denuvo. The hugely unpopular anti-tamper software is often considered the bane of PC gaming....

Getting a good jump shot animation for your MyPlayer inNBA 2K25will be extremely important. The relevance arises even more in the early days ofMyCareer, as your MyPlayer stats will be towards the lower end of things. Scoring baskets will eventually become easier once the in-game stats improve. But having good animations is second to none. No matter which build you have, certain jump shots are better than the rest (or the default, in case you’re wondering)....

Evidence they didn?t just take the $3.3 million and run, hooray! Remember when Double Fineasked for some money($400k) on Kickstarter to make an old-school, point and click adventure game and the gaming collective at large responded with $3.3 million in funding money thereby monumentally shifting the game making climate? I do, too! Here’s a first look at the fruits of those dollars. All of the dollars. Some of the fruits....

Leftovers from an old mechanic Recently, dataminers uncovered items that seemed to indicate that paid level, subclass, and engram (loot) boosts were coming toDestinynow that the microtransaction floodgates have been opened. Bungie denied it recently on Twitter, but has taken to the weekly update blog to explain further why they did so. Evidently, those were remnants of a past concept that was going to be handled in-game with Xur, the weekly items vendor....
