In an interview, the head of indie studio Graceful Decay reveals how he went from designing for Disney theme parks to creating the stunning puzzler Maquette. Similar to other recursive first-person puzzle games like Superliminal, Maquette features a somber story of a struggling couple (voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel), but perhaps the biggest draw of the game is Maquette’s gorgeous world. Each section and corner of this mysterious plane is a model of the world around the player used to solve puzzles and progress through the sad tale....

This article contains spoilers for the Mare of Easttown finale. Mare of Easttown creator Brad Inglesby never wanted the ending of his detective story to come completely out of leftfield (or to use a basketball analogy in honor of the title character: be a half-court heave). In speaking to Collider in advance of the series (or season?) finale, Inglesby said: “I hope (the) audience trusts that we’ll do right, in terms of the ending....

Superheroes have always been a core part of video games, with Marvel releasing the first Spider-Man game for the Atari in the early 80s. Now that the MCU has become an international phenomenon and the Avengers are household names, it seems like the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers game is overdue. The game has six playable character: Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, and Captain America. Most of these heroes are familiar to fans through their appearances in the MCU, but the game is taking a different direction from the films, introducing A....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers through episode 5, possibly beyond, and for the wider MCU. Looking for episode 6? Click here instead! WandaVision episode 5, “On a Very Special Episode…” took everything we liked about the first two episodes and shook them up. For the first time, we have a fully blended approach to the storytelling, with the episode alternating between the altered “sitcom” reality of Westview, NJ and the actual, current MCU events....

Shepard is Mass Effect’s protagonist, but they aren’t always a force for good. While they can be played as the pinnacle of good morals, they can also be a supremacist with a taste for gratuitous violence. Shepard can choose to make the ultimate sacrifice to save the galaxy or sacrifice other species to increase their chances of saving humans. Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a remaster of an old trilogy so it’s not unusual for players to forget some details and possible paths....

Microsoft held a press event this morning New York to present the future of their Surface tablet/laptop hybrid series. While rumors pegged the conference to unveil a “mini” version of the tablet alongside a third generation, more powerful core device, only half that came true. Fortunately for interested Surface proponents and consumers/students/workers on the go looking for a machine that does a better-than-adequate job of bridging the gap between laptops and tablets, Microsoft has honed in on the formula with the Surface Pro 3....

As Microsoft prepares its presentation for E3 2017, one of the gaming giant’s Vice Presidents, Yusuf Mehdi, took to LinkedIn to discuss preparations and reminisce about E3 in years past. One particular topic Mehdi shared was the struggled launch of the Xbox One and what the company has done to improve since then. Mehdi revealed how excited the team was to introduce new tech with the Xbox One, as well as a new experience for gamers that would go well beyond what the Xbox 360 has provided....

DC’s Milestone revival kicked off at FanDome earlier this month, with the promise of new and old material returning the beloved characters to comics. And at the second stage of FanDome, they followed through, with the release of Milestone Returns #0, free to read only during the digital convention. Now, they’re fulfilling another stage of that promise: Hardware and Icon are being published digitally for the first time ever. This week saw the release of Hardware: The Man in the Machine, the first volume of Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan and J....

As if the console version of the super-successful Minecraft needed any more publicity - having just crossed the 3 million sales mark over Xbox Live - it’s not got a little more (late night) mainstream attention courtesy of Conan O’Brien. Minecraft was a last-minute addition to Microsoft’s E3 2011 press conference and at the time it was advertised as a Kinect-functional title. While that didn’t come to fruition for launch, a older version of Minecraft (relative to the core PC version) did launch in May with a brand new interface and Xbox Live capabilities (including splitscreen co-op)....

The Japanese game rating board CERO is closing for nearly a month as Japan tries to deal with COVID-19. CERO is one of several gaming organizations that have had to change the way that they do business as developers like Rockstar Games and CD Projekt RED are now working from home. On its official site, CERO, the Computer Entertainment Rating Organization, has announced that it will not be reviewing or rating any games until May 6....

Back in 2019, a spin-off of the mega-popular Yakuza series was released on PS4 to a fairly solid reception. Judgment, as it was called, followed the adventures of disbarred attorney Takayuki Yagami as he took on cases to solve an overarching murder mystery unfolding within the streets of Kamurocho. It was an interesting diversion for the brand, but one that has been locked to Sony’s platform…until this year, at least....

Jump Force has an incredibly diverse roster of fighters from a variety of Shonen anime/manga, including characters from Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. But while the characters in Jump Force all have their own unique attacks and abilities, they share one common power, and that is the ability to Awaken their full potential in battle. To Awaken in Jump Force, players need to pay attention to the Awakening Gauge, which wraps around their character’s picture on the screen....

There’s a lot to do in Kingdom Hearts 3. Whether it’s side quests or crafting, the long-awaited third installment to this popular series is jam-packed with extras. One of the earliest quests Sora picks up on his journey in Kingdom Hearts 3 is to document the various Lucky Emblems located throughout the game’s many worlds. Longtime Disney fans will recognize these as Hidden Mickey’s, which take the shape of the head of the company’s iconic mouse and are secretly placed all around the various Disney parks for guests to find....

In Kingdoms Of Amalur, you’re supposed to be playing the role of a great hero who has come to save the downtrodden people of the Faelands. But that can get boring. As one may be wont to do when left alone in a gigantic open world, you may be tempted to turn to a life of crime. Stealing or killing can be a fine way to pass the time but it does come with some negative side effects....

The Silent Hill series has been dormant for quite some time now, with the last major game in the series being 2012’s Silent Hill: Downpour. Unfortunately, after Akira Yamaoka’s potential Silent Hill tease was pulled from YouTube recently, the series’ future seems even foggier than it previously was. The tease came from an interview with Yamaoka, where he alluded to a project announcement in summer 2021 that Silent Hill fans have been hoping to hear about....

2020 is almost over, but League of Legends players have been busy experimenting with preseason item changes for the past month. Before the year ends, however, there’s time for a winter event to herald the start of Season 11 in January. From December 10th to January 11th, all regions can participate in Battle Queens 2020 event that accompanies Rell’s release. Battle Queen is a new alternate universe where 5 different Queendoms compete in a coronation tournament reminiscent of anime and mobile game settings....

The newest champion to enter League of Legends—Samira—got nerfed just one day after her official introduction to the game, leaving some to wonder why the character was released with her original stats in the first place. League of Legends is one of the biggest games in the world of professional esports. Its free-to-play formula has made it one of the easiest games to get started with. However, its progression system and reliance on strong teamwork have made it both difficult to master and perfect for competitive play....

Riot Games has revealed Seraphine, the Starry-Eyed Songstress, as the newest champion to hit League of Legends servers. The pink-haired champion has been heavily hyped up online, with the League team creating an official Twitter account for the character. Seraphine will hit the Summoner’s Rift in Patch 10.22, which is scheduled to go live on October 28th. Seraphine comes from the Runeterran region of Piltover. The Starry-Eyed Songstress can hear other people’s souls, using that sound as inspiration, “turning the chaos into a symphony....

Rumors suggest that Ubisoft will soon be releasing a brand new battle-royale game called Hyper Scape, code-named “Prisma Dimensions.” This information comes from Slasher himself, one of the most consistent sources for leaks in the industry (e.g., Dr Disrespect’s ban). If his contacts are to be trusted, Ubisoft’s official reveal for the game will come later today. That’s not all, either. Hyper Scape is set to enter closed beta testing next week, with an “open beta and full launch” slated for July 12 – just a few weeks away....
