Goose step it on back to Germany ya fascists The firstSteel Divisionwas tantamount to a dream come true for World War II military history enthusiasts such as myself. Boasting detailed recreations of European cities where major battles took place, as well as historically accurate armed forces groups,Steel Division: Normandy 44was all I could have asked for in concept. In execution, it left a few things to be desired but overall the complete package was well worth the minor frustrations....

The “eye-popping” part of the headline was a most hilarious joke, since that’s actually what happens in the video. Oh, how welaughed. In an age of cover-systems, health regen and endless gimmickry, it’s always refreshing to see an unpretentious, simple, good-old fashioned violence festival, andSerious Sam 3: BFElooks like it’ll seriously deliver. Just you, some guns, and an endless supply of bastards to kill. As the tagline says, “No cover....

Thelast time we had Austin on the showthere were game announcements and life changing conversations, so who knows what will happen this time around. I’ve got the sneaking suspicion that we may even be giving away some Steam codes this time around....

To a certain crowd, survival and crafting are almost synonymous with each other. For a long while, possibly due toMinecraft’ssuccess, in-depth crafting systems were always accompanied by some survival elements. However, that is no longer the case. Some of the most complex and compelling crafting games ever made, likeFactorioand its first expansion, feature almost no combat and survival at all. That said, it’s also true that nothing makes brewing a good cup of coffee as intense as the post-apocalypse or Half-Life-inspired alien invaders....

The world of lazy parenting has gotten a shot in the arm with the launch of theGameDr, a brand new invention that will revolutionize the way that children are half-heartedly disciplined by adults who can’t be bothered to get up from watchingThe Price Is Right.

RIP weird-faced man Just last month, a videowent viralon YouTube of some awkward-looking man inAssassin’s Creed II. Most people thought the remastered collection introduced a brand new bug, but it turns out the weirdo just became easier to see. According to Ubisoft, the model was in the original release ofACII, but the game had a darker presentation. Along with that, the model was from a pool of randomly selected models, so most gamers probably already saw him and didn’t realize it....

Update 8.0 earns the ‘.0’ Late last night in the US evening, as is customary with Nintendo, a big Switch update arrived. It’s titled version “8.0.0,” and brings a few welcome additions to the table. The most impactful one right out of the gate is enhanced sorting features for your “all software” list. You can now sort games by title, publisher, total play time, and time last played. As a reminder it’ll appear once 13 or more games are on the list (I remember when I reached this mark fairly early on into reviewing the Switch hardware, it was pretty wild)....

True art So yesterday I reviewedResident Evil 6, and I didn’t like it, which was sad. The critics have been very split on the whole thing,with scores rangingfrom from the very low to the very high. It’s a polarizing experience, that much is true. However, this video demonstrates that I may be scientifically wrong. In fact, everybody who hated it is wrong. Because of this. A shared moment of beauty, as man and beast lock eyes....
