For those of you that might not know, Obsidian is the studio responsible for some of the finest RPG games out there: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, Neverwinter Nights 2, and the list goes on. As for Tyranny, its a bit of a unique RPG as its set in a world where evil has won, good has been vanquished, and people are now trying to establish peace and order after hordes of demons ravaged their way across the land. Not your usual 'collect the magical doodads representing the four elements' affair!
If this is the sort of RPG that gets your ears all perked up, you'll be glad to hear that you won't have to wait for very long in order to play it as Tyranny is set to release on November 10... this year! In order to celebrate this announcement, and hopefully give you an idea of what Tyranny is all about, the developers also released a brief story trailer titled Fatebinder. Have a look:
Dark Souls 3 - Ashes of Ariandel's latest video is heavily hinting towards an organized 3v3 PvP mode
- By Ash
- in News
Continuing the long-held tradition of releasing rather strange Dark Souls trailers, Bandai Namco has just posted a PvP trailer for Dark Souls 3's Ashes of Ariandel DLC. As you can expect, it features plenty of dueling, praising the Sun, backstabbing, and oddly enough, what appears to be an organized 3v3 PvP mode.
While certainly not perfect, Dark Souls 3's PvP has been a great deal of fun so far, so to see FromSoftware continue working on and expanding the concept is a great thing indeed. As for what exactly the upcoming Ashes of Ariandel DLC brings in the PvP department, that you can find out through the video below. Don't expect to get a straight answer, however, as this is Dark Souls we're talking about after all! Have a look:
The PC version of Beyond Good and Evil will be available for free starting later today

Beyond Good and Evil is well over 10 years old at this point, and given that Beyond Good and Evil 2 has just recently been announced I can't blame you if you're a bit curious about what the 'series' has to offer. Well, you'll soon have a chance to find out!
As a part of the Ubisoft Club promotions the PC version of Beyond Good and Evil, the 2003 puzzle-solving action-adventure, will be available for free later today. By 'later today' I mean at some point on October 12, so don't get too excited if your region hasn't crossed over to the twelfth just yet!
On a somewhat different note, if you're wondering what Beyond Good and Evil even looks like, here's one of its trailers. The quality might not be the best by today's standards, but compared to most games of that era its actually aged surprisingly well. Have a look:
StarCrafts, a mod for Starcraft 2 that turns the entire game cartoonishly wonderful, is now available

CarBot Animations, the team that does some of the most amazing fan-animations for Blizzard games, has just released their biggest and grandest project yet - StarCrafts. To put it simply, its a mod that remodels and retextures the entirety of Starcraft 2 into CarBot's specific brand of cartoony wonder.
And when I say the entirety of Starcraft 2, I genuinely mean the entirety of Starcraft 2. I've seen a whole bunch of cosmetic mods during my time, but StarCrafts really takes the cake when it comes to how much effort went into making it reality. Just look at this gameplay trailer, its positively adorable:
Thumper, an action-rhythm game starring a space-beetle, has now appeared on Steam

- in Indie Games
After being announced all the way back in the ancient times of 2013, Thumper has now finally become available for both Steam and PS4. "What is Thumper?", you might ask. Well, to put it simply, its an action-rhythm game that's all about ludicrous speeds and violent collisions - and also you play as a metallic space-beetle, but its best you don't think of such things lest your mortal mind shatters.
Since trying to explain a musical rhythm game through words alone is a pretty damn pointless venture, allow me to show you one of Thumper's gameplay trailers. That should give you a pretty good idea of what Thumper is really about, and more importantly, how bizarre the whole thing is. Have a look:
Overwatch's Halloween Terror event has arrived with a whole bunch of new cosmetics to collect

After being leaked not once, not even twice, but three times now, the Overwatch Halloween Terror event has finally rolled into town with a whole bunch of new cosmetics to collect. And best of all, you can actually purchase them with your hard-earned currency! Mind you, all of the items are three times as expensive given their 'exclusive' nature, but at the very least you now have some security against the cruel hand of randomness.
Before we go on you should probably check out the recently posted (and rather spooky) Halloween Terror trailer featuring the one and only Doctor Junkenstein! Have a look, its surprisingly well done:
World of Warcraft: Legion Review Part 2 - A detailed critique of the end-game (Raids, Mythic Dungeons, PvP, Crafting, and more)

- in Reviews
During the first part of my review, about a month ago, I made the claim that World of Warcraft: Legion was an absurdly massive game. When I said that I was only being half-serious, because let's face it, how big can a game truly be? Well, as it turns out - pretty damn big!
I've been playing Legion daily ever since it first launched, and only now can I truly say that I have experienced everything it has to offer. As such, it is time to use all of this newfound knowledge in order to delve deep into Legion's endgame and see whether it will stand the test of time, how it compares to Warlords of Draenor, but most importantly, is it any fun?
