Tenth anniversary of series celebrated Electronic Arts is celebrating the tenth anniversary of theBattlefieldseries today byofferingBattlefield 1942for free. The only catch, of course, is that you’ll have to get it through Origin. The offer runs until June 04, 2025. I keep telling myself that I’m going to get interested in military shooters, but it just never seems to click. And since I’m a stubborn bastard, I’ll probably keep trying them. At least I won’t have to pay to play this one....

Destiny 2, like most online games, has its fairshare of errorsthat can crop up when the servers are overloaded or a new expansion just isn’t playing ball. Around the launch of the final expansion,The Final Shape, the honeydew error is the one blocking most players. When trying to launchDestiny 2around the time of a new content launch, be that a season, expansion, or Episode, you’re likely to run into problems. It’s usually either that the game is too overloaded with players to accommodate you or that something wrong on the server side is preventing you from accessing the new content....

Resident Evil 4 HDreleased last week, but I waited until the weekend to download it. Due to various problems I have with Microsoft Points and my silly desire to playResident Evilgames on their “traditional” home, I decided to download the game from the PlayStation Network. It’s been an interesting and unique experience, but a complex one as well. See, there’s a very special set of steps one must perform to playResident Evil 4 HDon the PlayStation 3, and first time users might not get it at first....

Speed, accuracy and evasion I’ve spent more time playingResogunthan anything else on my PlayStation 4, and with pretty good reason. As a rather deep arcade shooter, it enjoys a high degree of challenge and scoring potential that makes it easy to return to again and again. The biggest criticism I have is thatResogundoes a rather poor job of explaining how its mechanics come together in a scoring sense. Lacking any kind of direct tutorial, you’re left to try and divine strategies from loading screen tooltips....

In all ofBaldur’s Gate 3, there’s one character I simply can’t vibe with, and it’s Gale. Apologies to all the Gale stans out there, but when there are characters with integrity and honesty such as Wyll, Shadowheart, and Karlach, Gale is just so unserious with his backstory and it annoys me. For those out of the loop (or for those blessed few who forgot/refused to recruit Gale), his story is effectively that he managed to sleep with a literal goddess, got magically impotent, and decided to prove his worth by finding what is effectively the sorcerer’s stone....

Up high! Down low! …Alien? Surgeon Simulatoris the type of game that easily lends itself to stories. The precise mechanics involved provide anecdotes wherein each player can fondly recall specific moments of their playthrough. Though my time as a surgeon has been limited and feels as though it was eons ago, I still remember my first transplant in vivid detail. When thinking of the various experiences that might be improved with VR,Surgeon Simulatornever crossed my mind....

Here’s the announcement trailer The first reveal of The Game Awards 2017 (the proper show, not the pre-show) was a real banger. We learned what’s next for Campo Santo, theFirewatchdeveloper. It’s some sort of an adventure game calledIn the Valley of Gods. We’re left to glean what we can from the reveal trailer, but here’s what we can discern. It follows two people as they explore some sort of ancient ruins/temples/pyramids, theFirewatch-like chunky climbing is back, and the track that it’s all set to is pretty perfect....

More ARPGs are always a good thing in my book Although our own Patrick Hancock wasn’t keen onThe Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, it appears as if enough people were, asa sequel has already been announced, rounding off the second game in the planned trilogy. Developer NeoCore is already working on a follow-up to the PC-only game, which will take you back to the city of Borgova and task you again with hacking and slashing the denizens of the undead....

‘Our highest priority is making Lightning more beautiful and cooler looking than ever before’ “I’ve only seen him in person very few times,” aLightning Returnsstaffer whispers of character design lead Tetsuya Nomura, casting furtive, sidelong glances. I hear he is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but hearing these Square employees tell it, anybody could have worked for Nomura....
