Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 5:25 PM  Arguing over which Halo game is the best is an exercise in futility. Fact: They're all amazing! For the past two decades, first under Bungie, then under 343 Industries, Halo has put on a master class of tone, pacing, and raw, punchy first-person gameplay. But perfection is non-existent; just as most every Halo game… |
Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 5:10 PM  Last year, Bungie filed a lawsuit against alleged Destiny 2 cheat maker AimJunkies claiming copyright infringement. Then, earlier this year, a judge dismissed most of that case, forcing Bungie to refile its lawsuit. Now, AimJunkies is fighting back, claiming in a press release that the former Halo dev is wrong in its… |
Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 3:20 PM  Elden Ring's faith stat is pretty flexible to build around, particularly because developer FromSoftware baked so many incantations and spells into the game. Still, it tends to see very little use at high levels, as YouTuber Your Average Gamer put it in an email to Kotaku Dot Com, folks claim it's not as good as other… |
Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 2:38 PM  Video games can offer us a chance to inhabit new worlds or discover new experiences. They can show us things we've never seen or dreamed of. Like an ancient civilization or a far-off alien planet somewhere deep in the cosmos. Or uh…what about a squirrel with a gun who can shoot people? Yeah, that's cool too. |
Kotaku Friday, August 12, 2022 2:30 PM  The Ayayo games are a series of erotic adventure games made for the PC-98 in Japan in the early '90s. Despite their wild storylines and complex meta references to popular anime and manga, their legacy is mostly overlooked or forgotten. Video essayist Noelle Aman tried to fix that in a recent 50-minute deep dive, but… |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 7:09 PM  The players have spoken, and they say they want smaller Phasmophobia maps. The popular post on Reddit that sparked the discussion proposed a handful of new map locations in a poll to see what players would like. These included a mall, an abandoned factory, and a circus (please, I beg you – no), along with an office park and an outdoors location. The general consensus in the comments was that what Phasmo needs more than haunted circuses and toilet blocks of doom is something smaller.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 5:11 PM  Civ 6 players are cut out to do well in business management, or so a study from the Review of Managerial Science says. The study, Good Gamers, Good Managers? A Proof-of-Concept Study with Sid Meier's Civilization, was published in the Review in 2020, but since most of us don't spend our disposable income on JSTOR subscriptions, parts of it are making the rounds on Reddit now. Here's the gist of the study (without having to buy a sub). RELATED LINKS: The best Civ 6 mods, The best Civ 6 civs, Play Civilization VI |

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 3:23 PM  The Command and Conquer games are stone-cold classics, but it's been a long time since we were treated to Tim Curry's Anatoly Cherdenko rapturously talking about going to space. Thankfully, upcoming RTS game Tempest Rising looks like it's poised to resurrect that special formula of crunchy real-time strategy combat interspersed with slightly cheesy FMV-style narrative cutscenes. |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 2:11 PM  While building the best gaming PC isn't too difficult these days, going with a prebuilt machine instead is undeniably convenient. Better still, the market is positively brimming with rigs of every size and spec, meaning you're basically guaranteed to find a system out there that'll perfectly cater to your particular needs and budget. Down below, you'll find our personal picks for the best gaming PC from big system manufacturers like HP, NZXT, and Corsair to smaller specialist builders such as iBuyPower, Origin PC, and Maingear. All of these options have particular strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are leaders in their fields in one way or another. Just because you're plonking a prebuilt on your gaming desk doesn't mean you're stuck with the components once they age. It's as simple as learning how to build a gaming PC and popping in new parts when you want to breathe new life into it. RELATED LINKS: Best SSD for gaming, How to build a gaming PC, Best gaming CPU |
PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 2:17 PM  Want a list of all of the Vampire Survivors cheats? It seems like a cruel joke for the roguelike game to add cheat codes this late in development, but here we are. Patch 0.10.0 gives would-be vampire hunters a chance to enter some codes for powerful abilities. You can click on the Yellow Sign entry seven times to unlock this secret menu, but it will disappear not long afterwards. To permanently unlock the Vampire Survivors cheats, you need to find the Forbidden Scrolls of Morbane, which you can obtain by slaying the Bone Orb in the Bone Zone. Once you pick this up, a new secrets menu will appear on the main menu. Not only can you enter cheats here, but you can also see the conditions for unlocking the hidden Vampire Survivors unlockable characters. Of course, you can also just enter codes to unlock them; we have the full list below.

PCGamesN Friday, August 12, 2022 2:44 PM  Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered gives a fresh polish to what is perhaps the best Spider-Man game ever made. Not only is it exciting to finally get the chance to play this incredible game on PC for the first time, but now it comes with optimised graphics, improved ray-tracing and shadows, and ultra-wide monitor support to help make the experience even better. The release of this game alone is exciting enough news, but combine that with the fact that it coincides with the Fanatical Summer Sale makes this an even bigger deal. Why? Because the game costs $59.99 and Fanatical are rewarding customers who spend over $50 with a Fanatical voucher, plus two free games of your choice (from a selection, with an option to have Fanatical credit, if none of them appeal), plus $3 off the Fanatical Platinum Bundle, and a bonus mystery game. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 3:40 PM  If you've drooled over the OLED panel in your phone or TV and decided you'd like the same tech for your PC games, you basically have the choice of a single model each from Gigabyte and Alienware. Asus, then, are about to increase the number of OLED gaming monitors on the market by 100%, with the ROG Swift PG48UQ and ROG Swift PG42UQ.

Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 3:30 PM  Of the many games announced during THQ Nordic's Showcase this evening, Space For Sale is the one that caught my eye the most, primarily because it looks a bit like Animal Crossing with aliens. In it, you play a small stubby astronaut who dreams of hitting it big as an intergalactic property developer. Man, they really took the phrase 'colony sim' to its literal extreme, didn't they? Are we sure that isn't Tom Nook under the helmet there? The proportions defintiely seem right, is all I'm saying. I just hope the rent you end up charging isn't... astronommical. Sorry. Here's the reveal trailer. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 3:30 PM  Surprise! Survival horror series Alone In The Dark returns - again! This time it's a reimagining of the original 1992 game, where you'll delve into Derceto Manor as returning characters Emily Hartwood and Edward Carnby in an attempt to figure out what's happened to Hartwood's missing uncle. As you'd expect, it does not go terribly well. But hey, it looks like it makes for a pretty good time. |
Rock Paper Shotgun Latest Articles Feed Friday, August 12, 2022 3:30 PM  Three Fields Entertainment are responsible for lots of games with "dangerous" in their title: Dangerous Driving, Danger Zone, and Dangerous Golf. But now they've got a new racing game in the works which eschews their previous naming convention for something that'll make you say with a wry smile and a shake of the head, "I see what you did there". It's called Wreckreation (you know, like 'recreation', not Wreck-reaction, or Wreck–eation) and its reveal trailer looks a bit like if Burnout and Hot Wheels went for a joyride together. |

Revealed earlier this evening during THQ Nordic's summer showcase, Tempest Rising is a retro-inspired strategy game where you'll take control of three factions fighting for a rare mineral. And yep, that mineral is called 'Tempest'. Here's the reveal trailer. |

PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 6:30 PM  Although the fantasy action RPG Gothic did not make a huge splash in terms of sales, it still managed to garner a fair bit of praise from fans and critics alike. With this in mind, THQ Nordic no doubt captured the attention of fans when it released a playable demo of a potential Gothic remake in 2019 to gauge player reactions. The announcement in early 2020 that a complete remake would indeed happen confirmed that the demo ended up successful. Any potential doubt regarding the demo's success dissipated thanks to today's THQ Nordic digital showcase, which featured a full two-minute trailer of the Gothic remake. Notably, the trailer did not showcase any gameplay, as it consisted entirely of long, sweeping shots of the remake's enhanced environments and NPC models. It starts off in a calm outdoor mining town before transitioning into a network of dark caves. The initially peaceful atmosphere eventually takes a turn for the unsettling when a group of giant spider-like ... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 6:15 PM  Aerosoft revealed the new City Bus Manager alongside a few other new simulation titles (such as SubwaySim) during its NextSim 22 presentation. With City Bus Manager the goal is to create a new set of bus routes, outfitting them with new buses, proper maintenance, and happy staff. City Bus Manager features home towns and famous cities from all over the globe, minus China. Its maps are based on data provided by OpenStreetMap, including featuring Points of Interests. Further adding to its complexity, the sim will also feature passenger simulation and bus route travel time using real data. This will allow players to faithfully recreate existing bus lines from their own real-life city, or put a new spin on things with an original network of their own. Bustin' bus time schedules The list of duties doesn't just stop at constructing the lines, however. Infrastructure must also be set up by the player. This includes building garages, warehouses, maintenance facilities, park... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 5:30 PM  Adding to the list of "there's a sim for that," Aerosoft unveiled the new CityDriver at its NextSim 22 presentation. Described as a "your car simulator," players will be able to use this sim to explore a virtual version of Munich, Switzerland. It'll feature a variety of different vehicle types with the choice of combustion engines and electric-powered cars. Rather than being yet another option in the plethora of racing titles, CityDriver is taking some pages out of the books of other driving sims like Euro Truck Simulator 2 and is seeking to offer a richly detailed driving experience that can actually train players to hone their skills. Ignition – on CityDriver will have various, randomized missions throughout the city and a dedicated Driving School Mode with run-of-the-mill traffic training exercises, such as maneuvering through tight corners, obstacle avoidance, and more. When you tire of tasks, you can open up the throttle and enjo... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 5:15 PM  The THQ Nordic Digital Showcase wrapped up earlier today, bringing a set of new game announcements and updates. Rather than focusing on what has been known, we decided to do a round-up of all the major announcements during the show. The showcase was far more reserved than ones we saw in June, but it nevertheless included some nice surprises. Here are some of them. THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2022 game announcements Alone in the Dark returns THQ Nordic announced Alone in the Dark, a reboot or "reimagining" of the original game from way back in 1992. Developed by Pieces Interactive, Alone in the Dark will feature a new story written by SOMA and Amnesia author, Mikael Hedberg. You'll return to the Derceto Manor as Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood as they battle eldritch monsters and solve puzzles. Tempest Rising announced Following up on the aforementioned blast from the past, Tempest Rising is another game announced during the THQ Nordic Showcase that harkens ba... |
PC Invasion - FeedDDD Friday, August 12, 2022 5:00 PM  Aerosoft, one of the biggest names in the simulation market, has just wrapped up its NextSim 22 presentation where a good chunk of new simulation titles were revealed. One of said titles is the new SubwaySim Hamburg. As the name suggests, this new train simulation game will take players to the rails of Hamburg, Germany, letting you operate a small commuter train through some of Germany's iconic scenery. SubwaySim Hamburg will have "accurately recreated stations" with plenty of route sections tasks. The sim will feature the DT5 locomotive, an electric commuter train that's being made using data gathered from a real-life model. Train tales The new sim is powered by the new Unreal Engine 5, resulting in some very detailed visuals that Aerosoft describes as having a "high level of realism" in order to faithfully recreate the U3 line that the virtual train will operate on. The entire line is 12.86 miles long, with 25 stations along its stretch of... |

It looks like we won't be heading to Hogwarts just yet. The upcoming RPG set in the Wizarding World has had its release date pushed back. After a delay, Hogwarts Legacy will now release on February 10, 2023. This was announced earlier today on the official Hogwarts Legacy Twitter account. The tweet states that the developer needs "more time to deliver the best possible game experience." This comes alongside a short video from Chandler Wood, Avalanche Software's community manager, who confirms the delay. On the bright side, we finally have a concrete date for Hogwarts Legacy. While it's always disappointing to see games get delayed, we're at a point where this is fairly commonplace in game development. The Hogwarts Legacy delay only only an extra two months to the wait time, so it isn't really all that bad. Hogwarts Legacy got its initial release window in March during the PlayStation State of Play, where we saw over 20 minutes of gamepl... 
Designing your ideal university is a time-consuming but fun task. Two Point Campus gives you the tools to envision and create the campus of your dreams, but it isn't always clear how to use them. For example, resizing or making non-rectangular rooms isn't as obvious as it probably should be. To help you out, we've set up this handy guide explaining how to increase room capacity in Two Point Campus. Note: We'll have a Two Point Campus guides and features hub soon, so stay tuned. Increasing room capacity in Two Point Campus Increasing the size of a room isn't difficult to do. The hard bit is finding the menu where the option is hidden away. It isn't the developer's fault, but management games have all sorts of menus and options to look through. It can be a little overwhelming for a newcomer. To resize new rooms, you'll first want to select the Build option located at the bottom left of the interface. A list with all of your unlocked rooms wi... 
Have you ever wanted to play as the spirit of a toymaker as he guides toy soldiers through a tiny door? What? That question is oddly specific? Regardless, you do just that in the upcoming game Tin Hearts, a first-person, Lemmings-esque puzzler with a nostalgic aesthetic and some fairly unique mechanics. You may have actually played the game before, as a prologue (that's no longer available) was released back in 2018. The game is supposed to launch in the near future, and I got to check out an early part of it. I tell ya, I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Coming to us from former Fable developers, Tin Hearts is very straightforward at the start. At first, all I could do was move the camera, open a box, and pick up and place objects on pegs. Opening the box results in toy soldiers jumping out and walking. Each level's goal is simple: get a certain number of soldiers through a door. But the soldiers don't think and don't take orders. They walk in... 
Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific Season Four shook up the meta with the launch of the mid-season update. The H4 Blixen which has been dominating the close-range meta for a long time was hit with a nerf, leading to another submachine gun taking the top spot. However, taking a look through the patch notes isn't an easy tasks. Figuring out which weapons have been buffed and nerfed can be a challenge, because the developer references them vaguely. Matching up Assault Rifle Hotel and Submachine Gun Alpha with the correct guns can be confusing. Call of Duty content creator XVI tweeted the developers asking them why they refer to weapons in generic terms rather than using the actual names that the guns are known by. Also, they outline that presenting the information in this way can be confusing and they are trying to get to the bottom of the reason why. Call of Duty weapon names are under legal restraints XVI recently shared the responses they received on the Warzone subreddit. The ... 
Designing your ideal university is a time-consuming but fun task. Two Point Campus gives you the tools to envision and create the campus of your dreams but it isn't always obvious how to use them.
