DOCTOR! Two Point Hospitalis a really great revival of the quirkyTheme Hospital. It captures all of the humor and charm of the original classic while injecting it with a modern art style that will constantly have you smiling. The one thing it left out, though, was a sandbox mode. For whatever reason, you were limited to the 15 hospitals the game had and the missions associated with them. In a new update, though,Two Point Hospitalwill finally be jumping into the upper echelon of classic management sims....

But it’s already canceled Here’s the TL;DR on this one upfront because the one-sentence summary is so ridiculous that it deserves to be front and center: Ubisoft hiredDragon Age‘s creative director to make a new fantasy game, and then canceled it because an executive didn’t like fantasy games. In a report fromBloomberg, we learn that Ubisoft had a King Arthur-themed project in the works at Ubisoft Quebec which was the lead development studio onAssassin’s Creed Odyssey....

There are better vacation destinations… Bethesda Softworks has releaseda new trailer forRedfall,the cooperative monster masher currently in the works at Arkane Studios. The new preview spotlights the titular Massachusetts town, which is currently under siege from a frightening plague of deadly vampiric beings. This particular trailer is mostly action-free, instead focusing on the many locales wherein our sassy band of monster hunters will ply their explosive trade. From the high street to the local school, movie theaters to woodland areas, museums to farmland — There is no part of the once-beautiful town that has not become awash with the undead and its hapless victims....

Sakamoto, who is the producer for the upcomingSamus Returns, stated that he would love to work on another 2D title, however it comes down to a major factor. That factor being whether or not you go out and buyMetroid: Samus Returns. To give the exact context, here is that portion of the interview....

Tides of darkness The next character confirmed forHeroes of the Stormis Zul’jin, the axe-throwing forest troll you might remember fromWarcraft IIor his later appearance inWorld of Warcraft. Admittedly, I had to think back for a moment, but looking at images of thewicked pixel artjogged my memory. Zul’jin is set to debut in early January, and here’s what you can expect from his kit: Taz’dingo! (R) Guillotine (R) To recap, if he’s headed your way and you don’t have an escape or allies to back you up, pray for mercy....

Goldeneye Even with aseason pass loaded with pointless stuff,Watch Dogs 2keeps receiving a bunch of free DLC. That is a pretty nice gesture, especially since this newest update looks to be adding something super cool. Along with a new PvP mode called Showd0wn and multiplayer functionality for races, patch 1.13 will be adding a paintball gun to Marcus’ arsenal. I like how Ubisoft seem to be embracing a more non-lethal approach to combat, but this reminds me more ofGoldeneye 007....

Traveling across the maps of open-world games solo is often an exciting experience rich in the joy of discovery. But taking a friend along for the ride is an appealing concept. Developer CD Projekt Red certainly thought so, as it wanted multiplayer inCyberpunk 2077. Those plans clearly changed. But with thePhantom LibertyDLC givingCyberpunk 2077its second wind, you may wonder if multiplayer is also getting another chance. For those who don’t recall, CD Projekt Red once planned to add multiplayer toCyberpunk 2077....

Coming in late August I’ve been playing theWormsseries since the ’90s. The height of my exposure was by way of the Game Boy version ofArmageddon, which I could conveniently play during car rides — on a portable, the pass-and-play style was almost how it was meant to be experienced. But since the mid-2000s, my interest has dropped a bit. I don’t rush to check out every singleWormsgame these days, because, well…a lot of them are the same....

No surprise there Most of the discourse around the Xbox Series X has been what it can do faster than the Xbox One. Its PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD means that it’s capable of performing loading and transfer tasks quicker than console players are used to. For instance, thebreakdown of file transfer timesdemonstrates nicely what kind of speed we’re dealing with. Here’s an area where Xbox Series X hasn’t improved: When installing from a disc....

Before now, I was somewhat interested inBatman: Arkham Asylum, but after watching the above video, I’m pretty excited. This new trailer details the game’s story, and also shows off a bit of gameplay, presenting Batman both as a stealthy predator and a psycho-pounding pugilist. It all looks rather special.Obviously, cleverly edited videos can make anything look good, but this video has gone a long way towards makingArkham Asyluma far bigger blip on my radar....
