While I wouldn’t say I’m bad at games by any stretch, I know a game I’ll be bad at when I see one.NanoApostleis one such game, and the frenetic boss rush actioner from developer18Light Game (Pronty) is due out on PC in summer 2024. Who cares ifI’llbe bad at it, though. You might not be! It certainly seems exciting enough, and the intense boss battles at its core are on full display in the announcement trailer from publisher PQube....

But Killer Instinct did [Image Courtesy@Sora_Sakurai] Evo is the only esports event I look forward to every year. Where else can I see a guy in a full-body fox costume wipe the floor with opponents inDragon Ball FighterZ? Sadly, with COVID-19 destroying every gaming event its path, a traditional Evo won’t be happening this year. As announced back onMay 1, the in-person tournament — which is the only proper way to host a fighting game tournament — will be replaced by an online event....

Even Simon Cowell loved it! I can’t say I keep up with reality competition shows. I’ve never been into “American Idol” or any of its various knock-offs, but sometimes contestants will come on and belt out something worth paying attention to. When that something happens to be the theme toCivilization IV, “Baba Yetu,” you’ll have my attention without question. In a recent episode of “America’s Got Talent,” the Angel City Chorale from Los Angeles performed Christopher Tin’s Grammy-winning song and the performance is just awesome....

Skip the grind with holiday pricing The PC gaming winter sales are live and launched, so the question you have to ask is: it the optimal time to join the ranks of the ever-growingRainbow Six Siegecrowd? (Hint: yes). Price-wise, we’re seeing thebestSiegedealson the market to date for select editions of the game. Steam’s Winter Sale 2016 went live yesterday morning with a discount onRainbow Six Siegeto $24.99. That price, and the price of all other editions/passes, is cheaper at digital retailer GMG....

I just can’t believe it. There’s only two more weeks left ofGame of Thrones? What am I going to do without my dear King Joffrey and his intent to carve some red smiles? The sneak preview of next week’s episode looks to be pretty exciting and action packed. Maybe we’ll get to see inside the House of the Undying? Well, the good new is I’m finally inDiablo 3and loving it, so perhaps I can make that my new obsession… untilTrue Bloodstarts....

See that video up there? It’s got over 150K views so far, and it’s been out for a little over a week. For the internet, that’s not too bad. How does one go about getting a video like this produced, distributed, and that many views in that short of a time? Well, I’m still trying to figure that out myself. None of my series (Sundays with Sagat,Constructoid,Talking to Women about Videogames, orvarious event coverage videos) have ever done those kinds of numbers....

There aren’t many games that hit the “I didn’t know I needed this” note quite likeToads of the Bayou. The grid-based isometric strategy RPG was previously announced for 2024 before being narrowed down to October, and now the release date has been locked in for a slightly later June 30, 2025 launch onSteam. French studio La Grange is behind development on this one, and it certainly looks charming whileticking off a lot of the expected indie game features....

The best thing since French Bread The cult, but critically-acclaimedUnder Nightseries is coming to European shores with its most recent release, the punctuation-ladenUnder Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st], courtesy of publisher Arcsys.

Due out on August 29 If you burned out onPokemon Go(or never started), there’s a newPokemonmobile game coming to town very soon:Masters. The gist is you’ll be syncing Pokemon up with trainers for battles and friendship, as the game takes a decidedly stat-based approach (perfect for endless grinding!). Battles will take place in a 3v3 format, and will be in real time, with teams of creatures sporting a “move gauge” for a slight strategic spin....

Can I trust you? Despite Valve’s efforts to combat cheating with its “Valve Anti-Cheat” system, cheaters still run free on Steam. This has had an impact on many games, but most notably isCounter-Strike: Global Offensive. Last year, Valve implemented something called “Prime Matchmaking” for the game (which alsofound its wayover toDOTA 2) that required users tie a phone number to their accounts to enter a separate matchmaking pool. While the system did cut down on reports of hacking, Valve noticed that it caused some other side effects....

Updated: July 07, 2025 We searched for new codes! You can try as much as you want, but you’ll never have a moment as awesome as Tsukishima did in season three. You simply can’t. You can try to emulate it by redeemingVolleyball Legendscodes, but that will still be but-a copy of the original. Volleyball Legendscodes will give you Yen and Rerolls. Yen is used to roll for special cosmetics such as your volleyball of choice and kit....

Are you not entertained? Hey everyone! How was your w—FINAL FANTASY XIV IS SO MUCH FUN!! I’m so glad I tried this last Friday on my experimental broccoli wizard character, but since I enjoyed the game a lot, I made a more serious toon that looks similar to me instead. I just wasn’t cut out for the broccoli life, but Brocco Lee lives on in our memory. My favorite thing aboutFFXIVso far is the ease of class switching as well as the monsters andmusic....

Episode 9 Act 1 ofValorantis winding down soon, which means the second Act will take over with a ton of new content. Here’s whenValorantEpisode 9 Act 2 will start. The onset of a newValorantAct always results in a shift in the meta, and this will be no different this time around. Episode 9 Act 2 will bring anew Agent, which means we will likely get to see a change in team compositions and new strategies unveiled at VCT next year....
