Tencent Becomes “Majority Shareholder” In Techland

It goes without saying that we’ve all become a bit partisan when it comes to the release of games, who is behind them, and the faceless corporations that financially back them. Oh, what fun we have when someone decides that Epic harvests…

Showgunners Security Breach DLC Available Now

I enjoy murdering on an industrial scale, which is a clause I am sure will be brought up when the trial of what happens to my neighbor for parking like a blind BMW driver comes up. Then again it is possible it…

Murder By Numbers & ESO Are Free

Monday, we were in that pre-Gamescom slump or at least I assume so due to the number of press releases I’m receiving daily about things I can’t talk about, so news was quite slim. Tuesday, Xbox Live is no longer alive, replaced…

SNW “Ghosts of Illyria” – Review

Though I enjoyed “Children of the Comet,” it wasn’t my favorite. However, Akela Cooper & Bill Wolkoff’s “Ghosts of Illyria,” directed by Leslie Hope, is one of the worst episodes. Probably best known as Teri Bauer of 24 or Kira Meru of DS9, Hope’s…

Dordogne (PC) Review

As French as using a baguette as a weapon in civil unrest, Dordogne is something I’ve had my eyes on since it appeared in the 2021 Wholesome Direct. If it isn’t obvious, it is that really beautiful game that looks like it was hand-painted with…

Testament: The Order of High Human (PC) Review

When first playing Testament: The Order of High Human, I thought I was getting a PS2-era AA-studio level RPG. The accent of the blandest man in video games, Aran, is speaking through heavily accented English. The setting is (as told by the…

Train Valley 2 Is Free On Epic

Monday, MK1 has characters named like Kingdom Hearts characters, Chinese RPG Honkai: Star Rail got an update, and the melee Battle Royale game Naraka: Bladepoint is now free-to-play. Tuesday, musical bunny puzzler Puzzles for Clef got a release date and Exoprimal apparently had a showcase you didn’t know about because why would you? Wednesday, the fourth Hellboy game (you didn’t…

SNW “Children of the Comet” Review

This episode showcases the other half of the showrunning team for Season 1 of Strange New Worlds. We’ve got Henry Alonso Myers & Sarah Tarkoff’s “Children of the Comet,” directed by Maja Vrvilo. Vrvilo is probably best known for some work on…

Grime Is Free On Epic

Monday, I covered Prime Gaming again and it is Prime Day Tuesday, so you’ve got extra stuff there. Also, Annapurna Interactive thinks that faux E3 is still going on. Tuesday, the lovely (wrong word) Dying Light 2 is crossing over with the not-so-lovely The Walking Dead ahead of that series set…

SNW “Strange New Worlds” – Review

I hate using this specific terminology, but it is time to get to some “proper” Star Trek. Specifically, a series about adults being adults instead of whatever you’ll call Lower Decks. That said, the era of Captain Snogs-A-Lot and his pointy-eared boyfriend isn’t…
