PCGamesN Sunday, July 10, 2022 1:36 PM  Fans will know that during the many attempts required to take down some of the more deadly Elden Ring bosses, some of their distinctive voice lines will often get stuck in your head. Now, a fan-made Elden Ring animation makes fun of one of the RPG game's most memorable moments by twisting it into a rather goofy but funny scene featuring a gargantuan runebear. Warning: spoilers for an early-game Elden Ring boss fight follow. Godrick the Grafted is one of the first major boss fights most Elden Ring players will find themselves tackling. He is also responsible for one of the more notable mid-fight moments to occur in the mammoth open-world game. Halfway through the fight, Godrick slams his giant axe down upon one of his many arms, slicing half of it clean off. He then grafts a nearby dragon head to the limb, bringing it to life and raising it into the air. RELATED LINKS: The best Elden Ring builds, Elden Ring bosses, The best Elden Ring classes |
PCGamesN Sunday, July 10, 2022 12:54 PM  The open beta release of the Warner Smash Bros fighting game MultiVersus is imminent and there haven't been any leaks or announcements since the alpha in May. Now, it looks like the next MultiVersus fighter - or crossover - is either being teased or has leaked, and it's none other than the Lord of the Rings himself. Before MultiVersus was even confirmed, initial leaks reported that Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings would be a part of a new Smash Bros-style fighter from Warner Bros. More recent datamines from May's alpha test confirmed Gandalf and also reported Legolas as an unannounced new fighter too. Tolkien characters still haven't been announced for MultiVersus, but a new tweet has seemingly either leaked the Lord of the Rings crossover - or deliberately teased it. The tweet shows two pictures of a stage from the game, but as user @dwonkt points out, one of them clearly shows the glowing Eye of Sauron reflected in the water. In the alpha, the stage itself clearly features a sinister black tower in the background. |
PCGamesN Sunday, July 10, 2022 12:36 PM  Bethesda is partnering with a number of The Elder Scrolls Online streamers for a charity event aiming to raise money for No Kid Hungry, a charity that works to prevent childhood hunger in the United States. The event is running from July 10-17, and features ten notable streamers from the MMORPG's community who will be taking it in turns to host special charity shows with a selection of giveaways. The Give A Sweetroll 2022 charity drive is being run in partnership with No Kid Hungry's own streaming initiative, Stream NKH. Bethesda will be hosting the featured streamers on their main Twitch channel, so you can go there at any point during the campaign period to see which of the community members from the official Elder Scrolls Online stream team is currently live. Donations are being collected through the Give a Sweetroll Tiltify page, which includes the individual campaigns for each of the streamers - so you can choose to donate directly to a specific one if you'd like or just give your money to the overall campaign. At the time of writing, the campaign is closing in on $3,000 dollars raised in its first day as it works towards a goal of $30,000.

PCGamesN Sunday, July 10, 2022 1:34 PM  The only Assassin's Creed game with a black female protagonist has been pulled from Steam. Ubisoft has delisted the Assassin's Creed Liberation Steam edition, so the action-adventure game can no longer be bought - and what's worse, even if you own it already, it looks like from September you won't be able to play it. Assassin's Creed Liberation HD, the remastered version of the PSP game that ties into the events of Assassin's Creed III, was released in 2014 and is unlikely to be anyone's favourite Assassin's Creed game. Ubisoft didn't include it in the list of games it's pulling support from in 2022, but it has now been delisted from Steam "at the request of the publisher." Now, normally when a game gets pulled from sale, you can still play it if you already own it. Rockstar's GTA trilogy, for example, can be downloaded and played by anyone who bought them. The Assassin's Creed Liberation HD Steam page, on the other hand, states that the game "will not be accessible following September 1st, 2022." |

Last Call BBS is a collection of games that may or may not seem familiar. After all Exapunks' Hack*Match and Eliza's Kabufuda Solitaire are both here. There's also a take on Solitaire called Sawayama Solitaire. But they're all puzzle games designed to make someone think. They're also a way to close out a period of time, as Zachtronics announced it will be a last title. Each one is special in its own way and feels unique, making it a fun collection of games that all feel "great" in their own way. At the same time, it is a salute to how PC gaming used to be. Last Call BBS begins with the player "setting up" a Z5 Powerlance PC. You have access to the System, which lets you change the collection's settings. There's the Sawayama Solitaire already downloaded. Messages are left to you on a HandyMate by the PC's former owner. These gradually tell you how to find games and offer insights into each title you acquire. Should you actually want to start playing, you need to open up Drive 0 and hop onto Netronics Connect to access the different games via a BBS. Each one actually takes some time to "download," complete with modem sounds, and you need to wait for your download quota to cooldown before acquiring more games. The aesthetic is absolutely on-point. Every UI is designed to make this feel more like finding an old computer, rather than buying a collection of games.
As for the games themselves, they go between the completely original and unusual and the familiar. As mentioned before Hack*Match and Kabufuda Solitaire both appeared before in different ways. The versions here are either demakes, in the case of Kabufuda Solitaire, or an even larger version with extra single and multiplayer features, like Hack*Match. They along with Dungeons & Diagrams and Sawayama Solitaire, feel like new takes on classic titles you remember. Dungeons & Diagrams is a take on nonograms, as you're attempting to create dungeon maps via coordinate information. Meanwhile Sawayama Solitaire is another take on Solitaire. The other games feel a bit more original, due to either their gameplay or premise. 20th Century Food Court is all about timing, while also feeling a bit like a coding game. You need to ensure every order is made accurately, with parts coming together at the right times. ChipWizard Professional uses puzzles to build integrated circuits. So it can look and feel more complex than it is. Also, again, it feels like a coding sort of game. Steed Force Hobby Studio is about assembling Gunpla-like models. X'BPGH: The Forbidden Path is a bit foreboding, due to the cellular automation you're trying to put together to, well, build a body. It's complex and requires a lot of trial and error!
In each case, it might be tempting to leap in. Don't you dare. Each of Last Call BBS' games is incredibly unique. They also all provide a comprehensive tutorial explaining how they work with written and visual cues. So say you go into Dungeons & Diagrams without any context. You'll never know every monster is at the end of a dead end or treasure is in a 3x3 room. With other games, they're critical to find out how to place and remove necessary parts. Not to mention, all of them have the same sort of context and ambiance as everything else in the compilation, keeping the mood going. Also, paying attention to the difficulty level in the BBS itself is wise. For example, it lets you know Steed Force Hobby Studio is the game to play to relax, while X'BPGH is… not. I'd honestly have liked some better tutorials in game for games like it and 20th Century Food Court, rather than resorting to trial-and-error. Still, it feels like Last Call BBS is a great way to say goodbye. This is a fantastic collection of games, with each one being special in its own way. It also is the sort of compilation in which there will absolutely be one game folks will love. Sure, some games might temporarily make you feel like you're not smart enough until you "get" it. (X'BPGH definitely taught me things.) But it is worth the effort. Last Call BBS is available for PCs via Steam Early Access. It is also on Xbox Game Pass.
