In 2003, a shooter called XIII was released. Based on a series of Belgian graphic novels, it tried something unique (for the time) by emulating the comic's cel-shaded look, and while it wasn't the greatest shooter ever made, it was still incredibly cool, quickly earning itself cult status.

     The worst Elden Ring boss now has a cutscene, thanks to fans

Almost every Elden Ring boss has their own cutscene, or at least the ones that matter, the major dungeon bosses and mini-bosses blocking your way in the action RPG. Except one: the Soldier of Godrick. Redditer Jaown9 decided to fix that and created one of their own. Admittedly, he's not much of a boss, not compared to the fiends you face later, and you'll run into dozens of the soldiers just a few minutes after walking into Limgrave from the tutorial graveyard. Coming as it does after the Grafted Scion, it seems like a bit of an anticlimax, though if nothing else, the Soldier of Godrick does, at least, give you a sense that maybe you can survive in The Lands Between after all.

     This Sims 4 mod lets you play with Geralt of Rivia

If you've ever thought "wow, wouldn't it be nice to have a tiny Geralt of Rivia sitting in my kitchen or resting on the nightstand, watching me sleep" then this Sims 4 mod is your dream come true. "Geralt of Rivia Toy Action Figure" does exactly what it says on the package and adds a mini-Geralt action figure to your Sims house or wherever you feel like putting him in the life sim. It's an impressively rendered creation from Estgamers with a high level of detail, 4K assets, and over 9,000 polygons, the description says, and the figure depicts a shirtless Geralt with including his iconic double swords and starting outfit from the game – well, minus the shirt, obviously.

     Dota 2's Windranger just got nerfed

The latest pair of Dota 2 updates is a bit of bad news for Windranger mains. The updates change the way Windranger's auto-targeting logic works so that it's broken when an enemy hero uses illusions - forcing Windranger to re-select her target during her ult in the popular MOBA game.

The first patch, which came out June 28, made the change explained above. When illusions spawned, Windranger's focus fire auto-targeting was disabled, and Windranger would have to select her target again for her ability to once again target the enemy she was using her ult against.

     The lost Doom RPG game has a fan-made PC remaster

You can finally play the Doom RPG on PCs, and if your first response is "the what now," that's exactly why this is good news for Doom fans. Back in 2005, Fountainhead Entertainment, better known for Orcs and Elves, launched Doom RPG for mobile devices, a sequel to Doom 3 that released just in time to be a tie-in for the notoriously bad Doom movie and prompted both a sequel game and a Wolfenstein RPG.

     Hunt: Showdown update 1.9 improves performance, audio, balance

Some significant - and possibly contentious - changes are on the way to weird west survival game Hunt: Showdown. Update 1.9 is now available on the Hunt: Showdown test server, and it includes changes to weapon balance, spawns, matchmaking, performance, audio systems, and more.

One of the biggest updates in 1.9 is improvements to player movement. Crytek has been making some changes to both the Hunt: Showdown servers and game clients that should reduce the amount of desync players experience in the game.

     Xiii update improvements multiplayer featRemember the XIII remake? Boy, I sure do. It came out back in November of 2020 and quickly became one of the most panned games around. From copious bugs and other severe technical issues, to the fact that it was actually notably worse than the game it remade in nearly every way, things were quite cataclysmic for the title. Developer PlayMagic promised the game would be fixed. An update or two was released, but radio silence soon followed and it appeared that any interest in fixing the game was dead in the water. But publisher Microids revealed today that that's not actually the case. The XIII remake is set to receive a major update with fresh improvements and multiplayer content soon. Developer PlayMagic, however, hasn't been involved with XIII for some time. Instead, Microids has put Tower Five, developers of the strategy game Lornsword Winter Chronicle, in charge of the upcoming update and ports of the XIII remake. Microids has revealed that Tower Five has actually be...

     Dnf Duel 4 reviewArc System Works is keeping the fighting game community full this year, with its continued support of Dragonball Z FighterZ, Guilty Gear Strive, and the re-release of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Even the forgotten Granblue Fantasy Versus is getting rejuvenated at EVO come August. With so many games vying for a spot in the competitive zeitgeist of the fighting game community, releasing another flashy fighter right now may seem a bit hasty. Either way, Arc System Works has delivered another solid anime fighter in the form of DNF Duel. DNF Duel shares a lot of similarities with other recent Arc System Works fighters. It boasts beautiful, anime-inspired graphics with flashy specials and supers, and it was designed to be approachable for beginners. Additionally, the game is relatively slow-paced and doesn't have the same quick brawls like some of Arc System Works' older titles. This all seems to be the recipe for success, and most Arc System Works games possess some if not all of...
