More serious, still silly Since its 2000 debut, I kind of viewedHitmanis one of those franchises to just float around in: when I get to it, I get to it. Like all gaming IPs it can fluctuate in quality, but at the end of the day, you can typically count on a fun arcadey experience withHitman. That all changed when I saw what IO Interactive was doing with the “World of Assassination Trilogy,” the newest effort that began in early 2016....

Deliciously discounted GameStop hasloaded upon some PC download deals today with aggressive pricing on several triple-A titles. While Steam’s sale won’t start up until this Thursday, we think the prices below are what you should expect (given these are discounts approved by publishers). Note that this isn’t an official “Winter Sale” just yet at GameStop and the deals below have randomly cropped up since yesterday. The most noteworthy of the bunch though is a big 75% off price cut to $15 forHitman: The Full Experience....

Sign-ups are open in North America and Europe I’m a total newcomer to theRainbow Sixseries but I quite likedSiege‘swall-blasting waysat E3 last year. Not so much for the tactical possibilities that destructible environments enable as the simple human desire to punch holes in someone’s home (and maybe rescue a hostage while I’m at it). Ubisoft is preparing for a closed alpha test forSiegein North America and Europe that PC players can....

When it comes to Bethesda games, poking your nose into other people’s business is often a great start to securing some nice loot. You certainly will by completing the ‘Defensive Measures’ questline, which results in one of the best unique sniper rifle awards in all ofStarfield. I’m sure the second sentence is what piqued your interest. Indeed, there is an amazing award at the end of the Defensive Measures questline. It just goes to show that even the most meager-looking activities can conclude with bountiful rewards....

Say hi to another priest The High Priest’s Amulet initially looks like a confusing key item inOctopath Traveler 2. You can’t equip it, and no one in any nearby villages has any use for it. Its purpose only becomes apparent once you get a bit further in the game. Once you find the Clerics Guild in Borderfall, you’ll need the High Priest’s Amulet to receive an additional license for the Cleric secondary job....

You can’t put a price on class I oftenwrite aboutitems available to those with money to burn. I enjoy seeing what tat is available to the incredibly bored and wealthy. But today, I think I’m gonna peak. A set ofAssassin’s Creed Origins-themed headphones, from Focal’s “Listen Wireless” range, are available now on theUbisoft storefor £200. That in itself is pretty shocking to a cheapskate like myself, but I understand that with technology you generally have to buy-in if you want top quality....

Inspired by The Descent, Cannibal Holocaust I may or may not have let out an audible “Holy sh*t!” while watching this trailer forThe Forest, a first-person survival horror game looking for support onSteam Greenlight. Not because of a jump scare, mind you — it happened when I realized this really is asurvivalgame complete with tree chopping and structure building. Oh, and there’s creepy mutants lurking about, too. Days inThe Forestwill be spent preparing for nights, which is naturally when the monsters come out....

It’s a little late to mend childhoods The time has come for the peasants to revolt, asIkki Unitehas hit PC. The originalIkkilaunched in arcadesin 1985 and was quickly followed by a Nintendo Famicom version. The Famicom version is famous for being one of the first games to have had the title of “kusoge” (literal translation: crap game) bestowed upon it. The creation of the kusoge nomenclature has sometimes been attributed to Jun Miura writing about this game, but the origins area little murky....

This analysis video matches my personal experience With last week’s4.50 firmware updatefor PlayStation 4, it seems that Sony has improved its PlayStation Move controller tracking. By now, you’ve no doubt seen or at least heard about “jitter” problems, in which a person could be playing something likeBatman: Arkham VRand have their virtual hand wobble back and forth despite holding their Move nice and steady in real life. It has been one of those minor annoyances I’ve just learned to accept, and I think that goes for a lot of other PlayStation VR owners....

Thankfully they’re mostly just short-term outfits and emotes There’s one month to go untilMarvel’s Avengerslaunches and we’re already so tired. Following yesterday’s Spider-Man PlayStation exclusivity news – short recap:the entire character, not just an innocuous skin, will skipAvengerson Xbox One and PC – there’s even more deal-making. The PlayStation versions ofMarvel’s Avengers(it’s also coming to PS5) will get “30-day exclusive accessto a Legendary Outfit, Legendary Emote, Epic Takedown, and nameplate for each Super Hero as they are released,” including characters like Hawkeye, the first post-launch arrival, and the day-one cast....

You’ll get beyond the two announced packs It seems as if moreXCOMis on the way: an announcement that couldn’t have been better timed with the recent newsthat it sold fairly well. After the two announced DLC drops, the Elite Solider and theSlingshot Content Pack, there will be more to come in 2013, so don’t trade in your copy just yet! XCOM: Enemy Unknownis one of my favorite titles of the year, and it may even end up taking my Game of the Year nomination, depending on what the rest of 2012 can churn out....
