WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF Here are two missions fromCall of Duty: Ghosts, as revealed in last night’s live stream event. They’re both of the “slowly sneaking toward a thing while a man talks gruffly through an earpiece” variety, which I’m sure you’re all used to seeing by now. You know the drill by now. Obviously, we get to see Private Barks-a-lot in action, so if you want to see a savage mauling kill cam,Ghoststotally has you covered....

Lester Knight presses play on tape Another World, one of the most ported video games of all-time, could soon have another format to add to its ever-growing list of platforms. Homebrew programmerEric Majikeyrichas released in-progress footage showing the seminal fantasy adventure running on the humble Commodore 64. The video features the entire intro from the 1991 Amiga classic, scaled down to fit the C64’s ultra-humble 8-bit processor. We then see various moments from the adventure replicated in Commodore form, including Lester Chaykin Knight’s arrival in the strange new dimension, his first meeting with “friend,” as well as a glimpse at the game’s somewhat bleak finale....

A third-party tool better than what’s in-game? You don’t say Since I already explainedwhyDestinyis both bad and good, let’s cut to the chase without talking about the game’s shortcomings, shall we? An individual has createda really nifty third-party sitethat allows you to locate all of the hidden ghosts in the game — artifacts that provide you with more lore fromDestiny‘s obtuse grimoire system. A lot of the lore is actually pretty cool, and this tool is dead simple....

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice The first time I beatSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, more than anything, I was relieved. I felt free. Difficulty is a near-endless talking point in conversations about From Software games, and everyone’s had their say by now. It’s a matter of perspective. I’ll just add this: aside from a certain optional boss inBloodborne: The Old Hunters, I’ve never felt more challenged by this studio than I was withSekiro....
One of my favorite things to do at E3 is visit the smaller publisher and developers and try out their games. Usually creative and made with such a large amount of heart, the smaller games at E3 are always a breath of fresh air. This year, my favorite stop with a publisher-that-is-not-EA was Daedalic Entertainment, a German-based company that loves to make graphic point-and-click adventure games. You may have heard of and played some of their older titles likeThe Whispered World....
Villains are often the standout characters in any work of fiction because, whereas the heroes are typically clean-cut and bland, villains don’t impose any limits on themselves. They can be as d*ckish as they want and don’t take smack from anyone. One of my most memorable lines fromSuper Mario Bros. Super Showwas when Koopa reneged on a deal with Toadstool and said, “One of the nice things about being evil is… you get to lie a lot....

The PC free weekend event starts May 29 Unlike some of itsother recent freebies, Ubisoft isn’t outright givingFar Cry 5away (it’s too big of a cash cow), but the full game is free to play for the weekend on PC.you may pre-load it now from Uplayand become one with nature from May 29 at 6:00 a.m. Pacific until May 31 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific.

The stars look very pretty from R’lyeh Well, this is awkward. When it was announcedCyanide is making an officialCall of Cthulhugame, we’d just assumed that it meant the previous one in development at Frogwares was no more. Turns out we were wrong. TheSherlock Holmesdeveloper has announcedThe Sinking City, an open-world Lovecraftian investigation game. The art given for it looks absolutely amazing, with tentacles and floods and all that good stuff....
Gearbox throws Sega under the bus Last year a class action lawsuit was filed against Sega and Gearbox accusing the companies that the press demo shown at E3 ofAliens: Colonial Marineswas not indicative of the final product and was misleading. Gearbox has recently filed a motion stating why the accusations are baseless and that it should be dropped from the lawsuit entirely. Gearbox states that one of the reasons is that much of the venture capital for the game was fronted by Gearbox itself to supplement Sega’s development budget....
