Nidoqueen will haunt your dreams I haven’t been a big fan of Tim Burton’s contemporary work, but I can’t get enough of his old stuff. Naturally, anything involving old school Tim Burton andPokemonhas me interested:enter The Tim Burton x PKMN Project. IllustratorVaughn Pinpinhas brought it upon himself to creepify as many Pokemon as he can get his hands on, and I have to say, the results are deliciously terrifying. So far Tim Burton x PKMN has 41 out of the original 151 completed, so be sure and check back for more pocket monsters as it updates!...

GENIUS! Feel like a friggin’ genius with today’s contest: Win a Switch, PS4, or Xbox One copy ofMinesweeper Genius. I love kooky, off-the-wall kinda stuff. TakeMinesweeper Geniusfor instance — the whole premise is that aliens have cloned Aristotle, and to extract his genius they’re making him solve a bunch of Minesweeper puzzles. It makes so little sense that it makes perfect sense. Which is why I’m giving away a bunch of copies of it....

A tale of 2K discounts For the last two week we’ve seen Bethesda put their PC games up for sale at multiple retailers all competing for the best price online. This week it’s 2K’s turn. A 2K Summer Sale has emerged PC digital retailers Bundle Stars and GamersGate. Both retailers share the same catalog of titles on sale, but prices are not equal.

Lillith is the baddie… No, really The past two weekends saw Activision Blizzard roll outtwin betasfor its upcoming hellfest,Diablo IV. Pre-order customers were given the opportunity to revisit Sanctuary on the weekend of March 17, while everybody was invited to Hell and back on the weekend of March 24. These betas would offer die-hard fans of the BIG DEEEEEE their first look at the dungeon-crawling epic. Well, at least they were if they were able to get through the door… Online games, same old story, y’know?...

Now that we know more about howElden Ring Nightreignactually plays after itsrecent network test, you’re probably starting to coordinate friend groups to play the co-op title on release. You’re probably wondering, doesElden Ring Nightreignhave crossplay so you can play with friends on other platforms? Let’s take a look. Is there crossplay in Elden Ring Nightreign? Unfortunately, FromSoftware has confirmed that there will be no crossplay support across platforms. There will be support for generational crossplay between platforms, which means PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can play together, as can Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players....

TheEA FC 24Konrad Laimer Path to Glory SBC is the last special challenge of this promo in Ultimate Team and features a unique version of the Bayern and Austria midfielder. Like all Path to Glory cards, this Laimer item will be eligible for a maximum of five upgrades. While Austria isn’t a heavyweight in the competition, a couple of upgrades could improve the card a lot. Most importantly, the number of tasks of this SBC is reasonable, and it should be achievable for beginners and veterans alike....

TheElden Ringsoundtrack is now streaming on Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Apple Music, and other platforms —here’s a handy catch-all link— and at 67 songs, it’s a big collection....

Yeah, that’d be nice As far as “things I want Epic Games to release that aren’tUnreal Tournament” go, it’s pretty much justFortniteat this point. The sandbox survival game “might be the best thing we’ve ever done,”according tostudio co-founder Mark Rein, but the rest of us haven’t had much to go on, much to see. It’s frustrating. Now, Epic general manager Ray Davis tellsRock, Paper, ShotgunFortnite“has evolved.” So that’s the holdup, then?...

Humans, dwarves, orcs, and vampires I will always have a soft spot forWarhammer— bothFantasy(which was succeed byAge of Sigmarin 2015) and40K. In-between tabletop sessions I would enjoy just reading about various factions and races, and of course, playing some of the better games in the series likeDawn of WarandSpace Marine. The next game in the series is getting the full-onTotal Wartreatment though, and for people who might be big into theWarhammeruniverse without dipping their toes into the Creative Assembly franchise, this overview video does a good job of explaining the basics....

Now that my expectations ofDark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition(at least on PC) are starting to become slightly more realistic, I can get excited over trailers such as this new one from gamescom. I appreciate the realism on display here, in that the person playing gets stabbed a bunch and even dies a few times, too. Everyone loses their souls eventually; that’s what I keep telling myself, anyway. If you’re planning to nab the PC version ofPrepare to Die Edition, it’s coming very soon: August 23 or the day after, depending on where you live....
