Stalker 2might be an excellent release if you consider the story and gameplay, but there are certain performance issues, to say the least. The situation may have improved a bit, but I have experienced plenty of stutters and random frame drops. If the internet is to be believed, I am not the only one. Thankfully, there are a few tweaks you can make to the graphical side of things to smoothen the overall experience....
As spotted by Eurogamer, anow-removed listingby the British Board of Film Classification has seemingly outedBioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition. That’s quite the name, but what’s included? BothBioShockgames and downloadable content, it seems. Nothing has been announced by 2K Games yet, though this certainly seems like a plausible bundle. Everyone told me to play the “Minerva’s Den” DLC forBioShock 2, but I never did because I’m a bad person. Perhaps this is just the reminder I need to get that add-on out of my backlog....
Hello and good day Lords and Ladies, I am pleased to announce the latest episode of BritToid! We have said our goodbyes to Miss Hollie Bennett and I have now been welcomed into the world of crazy. This episode begins with a quick round up of what we’ve been playing, along with a few questions for me on important topics such as zombie apocalypse items and videogame guilty pleasures. As always, the conversation does tend to go off into strange unknown places, but we do aim to talk about the recent trend in videogame music concerts, the GMAs, and the BAFTA kid’s choice award amongst other ramblings....
May 28, $15 Switch is about to get one of the finest indie hits from the last generation of consoles. Josef Fares’ video game debutBrothers – A Tale of Two Sonsis bringing its familial bonding to Switch on May 28 for $15. The most unexpected addition to the Switch version is maybe also the most obvious.Brothers – A Tale of Two Sonsis getting two-player cooperative play. It’s a double-edged sword. There’s a thematic harmony about it in that it’s now possible to navigate through this sorrowful story with someone who’s close to you — maybe a partner, a friend, a parent, or, yes, even a brother....
It’s been a rather boring news day, all things told, which is why we haveno intentionof making things interesting. Instead, enjoya rather obvious piece of news: Capcom is considering porting more software to the Wii. Thisstunningrevelation came from a whiny Wii owner who accused Capcom of constantly giving Nintendo fans the shaft. Quite an amusing claim, in my opinion, given the fact that Capcom is perhaps the only third party to treat the Wii even halfway decently....
One of the things aboutPuzzle Questthat always amazed me was that D3 managed to take gameplay that the average gamer would deem “casual” while turning up his nose, give it a twist, and suddenly make it somehow totally cool to play (and tell your friends how addicted you were). I don’t know how they did it, but it was remarkable. Cradle of Romeis the latest title from D3 (adapted from the PC original), and it appears to also employ a sort of twist: you play the match three game in order to collect resources and build an empire consisting of over twenty historical monuments....
Every time I run intoDead Static Drive–a self-described “Grand Theft Cthulhu”–I can’t help but crack a smile. This latest gameplay trailer calls to mindTremors, so you know Team Fanclub is onto something. The 2020 PC and Xbox One title is a cosmic horror survival adventure, meaning you can “sneak, scavenge, fight, befriend, barricade, and bunker-in or steal a car and drive off into the sunset.” The key to a good survival experience is giving players lots of viable options and making sure there’s fun to be had in failure....
Games find a way DespiteDeathgroundvery clearly trading inJurassic Parkvibes, this dinosaur death romp might have more in common withAlien: Isolationthan anything else. Hold onto your butts. Just watch that reveal trailer. Look at how the raptors stalk the humans just like the Xenomorph cleverly pursues Amanda Ripley to all corners of the Sevastopol. Check out that motion-detection scanner that’s extremely reminiscent of the one inAlien: Isolation. Hell, there’s even a mechanic for hiding inside lockers until the threat takes its hunt elsewhere....
The Starlight House bundle inDisney Dreamlight Valleycomes with a lot of items. Unfortunately, you don’t get to see what those items are before you’ve purchased it and at 4000 Moonstones, it’s not cheap. Don’t worry, I’ve bought the Bundle and I can break down exactly what’s included so you may be a bit more informed before spending your Moonstones. Does the Starlight House Bundle come with any quests? Unlike the two packs before it (Dapper Wall-E and Ursula’s Transformation), Starlight House does not come with any additional quests and instead focuses on items....
Enjoy the concept art Not all April Fool’s Day stunts are born out of a desire to deceive. Sometimes they’re born out of actual ambition. That’s the case with this painful prank fromMonster Boy and the Cursed Kingdomdeveloper FDG Entertainment and theDuckTales QuackShotgame that never came to be. FDG wanted to work on a modernQuackShotgame, but Disney wouldn’t bite. FDG said the studio worked hard on a legitimate pitch but Disney wasn’t willing to budge with licensing....
DICE will have its hands full with Star Wars Battlefront Battlefield 1is here to stay for a while, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It hasgreat bones! And, in time, they should grow stronger. I’m loving the WWI setting, far more than I thought I would going in, and that has resulted in a bunch of also-good, also-newly-bought multiplayer shooters staring at me from the shelf. I swear I’ll come back to you,Titanfall 2....

Games boss swears EA Maxis decided on the SimCity online stuff Electronic Arts may have been one of the last big wielders of SecuROM, andSimCity‘s online woes reek of it, but EA Labels president Frank Gibeau claims to hate DRM. According to him, such anti-piracy measures have failed, and thus had no impact on the decision to forceSimCityonline. “DRM is a failed dead-end strategy; it’s not a viable strategy for the gaming business,” he toldGI....
