One of my great regrets of PAX East 2012 was not devoting more time to Unkle Dill from the upcomingBit.Trip Presents: Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien. Though we talked quite a bit toGaijin Gamesabout the many glorious aspects of this mysterious new pickle person, we barely had time to show him to you. For that, I am ashamed. So here’s your chance. Take a good look at Unkle Dill in the video about (he shows up around the 00:31 mark) and behold his majesty in the gallery below....

I’ve always thought ofFortniteas such an impressive achievement, especially when it comes to live events, brand collabs, and delivering on the “metaverse” idea. But the game’s latest chapter is a mess. In case you missed it, Darth Vader has joined Fortnite’sStar Wars-themed season today as a boss on the battle royale map. He can be recruited to join your team, which is cool—but then things get really, really weird and kind of uncomfortable....

GRIS I feel like we’re running out of adjectives adequate enough to properly describeGRIS. When it released for PC and Switch in December of last year, it struck a chord with anyone willing to give it a shot, taking them on a journey through some of the best art direction the medium has ever seen. Though easy to dismiss as just another one of those “artsy games reviewers fawn over,” those who took a chance on it found there is more to it than just style....

Free-roam golf is my jam Over the weekend, Sony and Clap Hanz ran a closed online test forEverybody’s Golfand despite spending a good several hours with it (playing as a wise blue-skinned golf dad, like you do), I deeply regret not sneaking in even more time with the upcoming PS4 game. To say the beta won me over is an understatement. I’m genuinely bummed it’s over and that the full release isn’t until August....

Fortnite Reloadis a brand new game mode for Epic Games’ battle royale title. It allows a squad of four players to drop into a game and fight for survival, making it one of the most action-packed experiences in the game. However, before it goes live, there’s going to be some downtime. Fortnite‘s downtimes and server maintenance times are well-known for lasting longer than expected.
