     PS3 emulator RPCS3 now boots the XMB

The cross-media bar, or XMB, might be the best console user interface ever. It made the PSP and PlayStation 3 a joy to interact with, and now you can finally relive the magic on a modern machine. Popular PS3 emulator RPCS3 now supports the XMB - at least in part. While much of the front-end's functionality is not yet implemented, the devs describe this as a "major breakthrough" for PS3 emulation.

"After years of hard work from several developers, we're excited to announce that the VirtualShell/XrossMediaBar (VSH/XMB) now boots in the master build while using the latest PS3 firmware version," developer AnnieLeo explains on Reddit. "While you cannot launch games from within the VSH/XMB just yet, this is a major breakthrough in PS3 emulation."

You can see all that functionality broken down in the video below, but you'll notice some major features missing - like the ability to launch games, for example. But this is a big deal for the emulation scene because it means RPCS3 is now properly replicating more low-level system functions than are usually required for most games.

     GOG's latest free game is a more forgiving take on Darkest Dungeon

While the Epic Games Store has become the de facto king of free PC games, GOG has been doling out regular freebies, too. A host of great games have been given away for the duration of the GOG Winter Sale, and now there's one last offer just for the Darkest Dungeon fans among you, with Iratus: Lord of the Dead.

Iratus: Lord of the Dead is currently available for free on the main GOG store page from now until January 5. While you have a limited amount of time to claim the game (in exchange for getting GOG's deals newsletter), it'll remain in your library forever, just as with any game you might purchase directly.

As the store page describes Iratus, "you find yourself fighting for the forces of darkness in the role of the titular necromancer - Iratus, recently freed from his millennia-long imprisonment. You control an obedient army of the living dead, with skeletons, zombies, banshees and many other unliving warriors. Create your soldiers the only way a necromancer knows how: from the body parts of your slain enemies!"

     GOTY buzz and the Steam sale bring It Takes Two to record player counts

It Takes Two has been a sleeper hit - though maybe the 'sleeper' part went out the window when it took top honours at The Game Awards. The co-op, story-driven platformer has earned all sorts of accolades since its launch in March 2021, and now that it's on deep discount in the Steam Winter Sale, more players than ever are checking it out.

On January 2, It Takes Two reached a record player count of 24,402, as SteamDB shows. On the same day, the free friend's pass - which allows you to play co-op with someone who owns the game - reached a peak of 11,834 players. While the player count for the paid version is the biggest ever, the combined total of free and paid players reached a slightly higher peak of 37,439 near launch.

It Takes Two's resurgence is helped by a 50% discount in the Steam sale, bringing the price down to $19.99 / £17.49 / €19.99.

     The first Halo was originally meant to be an open-world game

Halo Infinite is now out in the wild, and it's the first large scale open-world game in the long-running series of FPS games. But it turns out that Halo was originally conceived of as having an open-world setting - its developers, however, had to pare things back for the hardware available 20 years ago.

Marcus Lehto was the art director for Halo: Combat Evolved during its development at Bungie back in the late '90s, and in a recent exchange on Twitter, he said that Halo: Infinite - developed by 343 Industries while Lehto himself has started working on the Battlefield series - "brings back the magic of Halo."

A fan repled, asking Lehto if he wished Halo: Combat Evolved could have had a more open-world structure. Lehto says that the original plans for Halo were indeed to make it an open-world game. "When building the first demo the intent then was to make it open world," he explains. "Closest we got was The Silent Cartographer."

     Steam players declare Resident Evil Village the best game of 2021

Sure, we have a Game of the Year pick. (It's Deathloop.) The Game Awards has a pick. (It's It Takes Two.) I have a pick. (They wouldn't let me put Metroid Dread on the PCGN list, sadly.) You probably have a pick, too. (Please don't email me about it.) But why listen to any of those sources when you can get your GOTY from the votes of millions of Steam users?

Well, according to Steam users, Resident Evil Village is the best game of 2021. Players voted it past the likes of Valheim, New World, Cyberpunk 2077, and Forza Horizon 5 for top honours in this year's Steam Awards. I awarded an 8/10 in our Resident Evil Village review - it's outstanding in its scares and action, though it's let down a bit by a weak second half. Yet that's true for basically every Resident Evil game, isn't it?

It's particularly notable to see Village take top honours from Steam users, given the early controversy over the game's performance issues on PC. In the company of flawed megahits like New World and Cyberpunk 2077, maybe PC players in aggregate aren't quite so unforgiving of technical flaws as we'd always imagined.

     Genshin Impact 2.4 release time confirmed – Enkanomiya and more drop this week

The next major update for Genshin Impact lands this week, and the devs have provided precise details for the 2.4 release time. We've already had plenty of details on what to expect, and it's a sizable update with new characters, new events, and a "secret-shrouded" new area in Enkanomiya. Here's the rundown.

Maintenance for Genshin Impact 2.4 begins at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm GMT on January 5. The maintenance period is expected to last five hours, which would put the actual 2.4 release time at 7pm PST / 10pm EST on January 5, or 3am GMT on January 6. Maintenance could conclude early, which would let you dive into the new content a bit sooner.

You'll receive 300 primogems as compensation for the maintenance period, which will be delivered via the in-game mailbox within five hours of the update launch - you just need to have reached Adventure Rank 5 in order to be eligible. You can get details on that over on the official site.

     Total Warhammer and Jedi: Fallen Order are free with Prime Gaming

Amazon Prime subscribers are in for a treat this month: this month's haul of free games from Prime Gaming includes some terrific selections, including strategy game titan Total War: Warhammer and Star Wars Soulslike Jedi: Fallen Order. And that's just the beginning of this month's selection.

Total War: Warhammer scarcely needs an introduction - it's the first in what will soon be a trilogy of grand strategy games that feature spectacular real-time battles fought between the colourful and often monstrous forces of the old Warhammer Fantasy world. You can take command of factions like the Empire, the dwarves, the greenskins, and vampire counts, although there are plenty more factions available as DLC. Paired with Total War: Warhammer II, it forms part of the combined Mortal Empires sandbox campaign.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is Apex Legends developer Respawn's take on the Soulsborne genre. As fledgling Jedi Cal Kestis, you're on the run from the Empire's Inquisitors and must learn the ways of the Force in order to survive and, hopefully, help rebuild the Jedi Order. It's a delightful romp through both new and familiar Star Wars locales, and the lightsaber combat is a thrill.

     Final Fantasy XIV 6.05 release time – FFXIV goes down for five hours of maintenance tonight

If you're planning on playing some Final Fantasy XIV this evening, you'll want to get in early. FFXIV is going down for five hours of maintenance tonight in order to prep the way for patch 6.05 release time. It's a pretty minor patch in terms of new content, but it will bring us access to the savage tier of the Pandeamonium raid, a new treasure hunt instance, and new gear to collect.

FFXIV goes down for maintenance at 9pm PST on January 3, or 12am EST / 5am GMT on January 4. Servers will remain down for five hours, and you'll be able to log back in for the new patch starting at 2am PST / 5am EST / 10am GMT. The Lodestone site will also go down shortly after the game servers, returning alongside FFXIV itself.

Besides the savage version of Pandaemonium, patch 6.05 will also feature the Excitatron 6000 treasure hunt instance, new Allagan tomestones to collect, and new gear. In past expansion cycles, x.05 patch releases have also typically included an array of job balance changes, so it's likely we'll see the same here.

     Ghost Of A Tale Sequel Teased On TwitterReleased in 2018 and developed by SeithCG, Ghost of a Tale was one of the best-received RPG indie games of the year. The developer took several staple RPG mechanics established by leading franchises like Zelda and applied a refreshing mouse-themed coat of paint over them. Well, it turns out that the desire for more Ghost of a Tale action was not ignored with a sequel potentially being in the works. Seith himself took to Twitter to quote tweet a Happy New Year post on the official Ghost of a Tale account. The tweet reads: "Oh boy do we have mousy things in store for #GhostOfATale fans in 2022."   What does it mean? Of course, this tweet alone is by no means confirmation of anything but it doesn't hurt to speculate. It's hard to not at least consider that a Ghost of a Tale sequel is in development and this is an early teaser of it. Although it's difficult to say if it will launch in 2022, it's certainly possible that we'll at least see a ...

Over the weekend, GoldenEye 007 suddenly received a full list of Xbox achievements. Currently, it's tough to say if the port is actually getting prepped for release, or if the list was a mistake. However, it does provide hope that the remake will actually find its way into our hands soon. The list was picked up by TrueAchievements on Saturday. Happy New Year, indeed. The list includes 55 achievements for GoldenEye 007, with one that's labeled as secret. However, the majority is about what you'd expect. There are achievements for completing all the missions, the game, as well as those for playing through on each difficulty. But there are plenty of achievements ...

     Elden Ring feels like a classic DnD adventure

Dungeons & Dragons' influence on videogames can't be overstated. However, while many of the best RPGs owe their mechanics to tabletop gaming, digital adventures struggle when it comes to replicating the flair and theatre of a classic DnD adventure. Enter Elden Ring, FromSoftware's latest Soulsborne game that, judging from a few hours with the network test, feels primed to capture the imaginative dramatics of a dedicated dungeon master.

Sure, RPG staples like Baldur's Gate, Divinity, and Dragon Age also emulate tabletop storytelling, and they do it well, but Elden Ring's pacing and atmosphere feel similarly authentic without sticking so rigidly to Wizards of the Coast's fantasy world; wherever you go you get the sense that your adventure would pair perfectly with the scene-by-scene narration of a dungeon master.

There are plenty of similarities between Hidetaka Miyazaki's Soulsborne games and pen-and-paper escapades, however, by embracing a completely open world, Elden Ring becomes a treasure chest of decision-making and opportunity where every vista feels like a fork in the road. Do you chat to the friendly looking pot? Explore the ruins over yonder? Pick a fight with the knight on horseback? Or try to sneak past them?

     Steam just broke its concurrent user record, again

Steam just clocked its highest-ever number of concurrent users on the platform, hitting nearly 28 million players logged in January 2. The new record, 27,942,036, comes after a period of steady growth that began last July.

Early January is typically a strong time of year for Steam player counts, thanks in part to the holiday season for workers and students in many countries getting a bit of holiday time off. Over the past two years, that effect has been magnified by the covid-19 pandemic, which has resulted in more people spending more time indoors near their PCs. In November, Steam broke its previous record by logging more than 27 million concurrent users, and it set a new high water mark over the weekend.

It's worth noting that the majority - 20 million or so - of the 'concurrent players' counted in this record-setting figure weren't playing a game at the time, they were simply logged into Steam. Still, the number provides a pretty good idea of the platform's growth over time. The most-played games of the moment are some perennial favourites: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, and Apex Legends make up the top five, with Naraka: Bladepoint and Amazon Games' fledgling MMORPG New World creeping into the top ten as the only games on that list released in the past year.

The first rule of video game club (apart from not talking about video game club) usually involves saving the world somehow. We do our best to rescue others from harm, to avert world-ending disasters, and give everyone around us the happy ending they deserve. But if there's one thing I've learned about myself in 2021, it's that I'm a cruel, heartless robot who will happily toss others under the bus if they don't provide any material benefit to me. Or at least I am when I'm playing Unsighted, the gorgeous and criminally underrated action RPG from Studio Pixel Punk that puts a ticking time-bomb inside each of its characters' metallic chests which, if left unchecked, will remove them from the game entirely, preventing you from gaining some potentially very handy upgrades to help you in your quest to fight back against your human oppressors.

It's an ingenious system, as you're not only fighting against the hordes of enemies that appear onscreen, but your own ineptitude.

However, some are likely wondering what the next title in the franchise could entail. According to previous leaks, this year will see the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This is thought to be a sequel to Modern Warfare 2019, developed by Infinity Ward. Recently, a possible leak for a new game mode shared online is allegedly featured from Modern Warfare 2. From the initial details, it gives us a Rainbow Six Siege-type of vibe. The prominent Call of Duty leaker known as @RalphsValve on Twitter shared details about a mode referred to as 'Attackers vs. Defenders.' Reportedly, attackers will be assigned a role with one player nominated as team leader. If you are a defender, it is believed that you could be required to stop the attackers by using various pieces of equipment such as booby traps and cameras.
