Most people have probably long since made up their minds about purchasingLeft 4 Dead. Valve’s AI scripted, co-op zombie shooter has received a very warm reception from both the gaming press and gamers themselves. There are, of course, two very good reasons for this: Valve is making it, and there are zombies. What better combination could a potential blockbuster ask for? Still, it’s both nice and reassuring to know that Valve won’t just be hiding behind this hype to rely on sales — a demohas been announcedthat will hopefully confirmLeft 4 Dead’s awesome potential to the public at large....

First look at the new PS4 title At a gamescom briefing today, Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games showed off their brand collaboration with Sony Studios Japan for the first time. PS4 titleThe Tomorrow Children(temporary title) is quite different from Q-Games’ other titles, but it does share their trademark creativity and imagination. It’s…pretty weird. The Tomorrow Childrenis a single-player experience set in an open world. It’s a network-based game where all players have a shared purpose....

Don’t forget about the Mishima! Need an E3 amiibo recap? We got you covered. All five of you who are still collecting with me, buckle up! So first up there’s the saga oftheMetroid Dreadamiibo. Man! Does it feel like 2015 again. So this release is actually a two-pack of both Samus (and her new look) and an E.M.M.I robot enemy. Unfortunately, this thing has been nigh impossible to find, as I found out while hunting it online yesterday....

The totally badass game-focused, Sydney-based orchestra known as theEminence Symphony Orchestrais one to watch. They do everything that sounds good in videogames. Oh, and also amazing concerts. You might have heard their lovely performances in games likeValkyria Chronicles, Odin Sphere, Diablo III, Soulcalibur IVand many more. There’s a couple of news items that popped up on theirFacebookwall recently that I wanted to point out. One that popped up yesterday says that the Eminence Symphonic Choir is featured in the ending them ofWhite Knight Chronicles 2....

The Secret Mila quest has been on the lips of everyFischplayer since a set of mysterious clues started to appear on the Discord server. So far, the leaks have been quite cryptic, which all started with a short video, followed by a sequence of images. It’s unclear, at least as of the writing, what the quest exactly refers to. However, I firmly believe that it has to do with some kind of a new boat/rod (I might be wrong), so let’s take a look at what we know as of writing....

Europe is not famous for its large, ferocious fauna. Indeed, here in the UK, the worst creatures we have to deal with are gangs of youths loitering. Our dreams of living vicariously through videogames and fighting off some of the most ferocious animals to walk this planet, dinosaurs, have been dashed against the rocks. Telltale’s latest adventure game,Jurassic Park: The Game, has been pushed back to 2012 for European Xbox 360 owners....

Riiiight When there’s this much money to be made, the series must go on. Developer Scott Cawthon isteasingFive Nights at Freddy’s 4: The Final Chapterwith a horrifying image I’d like to erase from my mind. I don’t know what I’m looking at here, lore-wise, but it isn’t very pleasant at all. Except the little top hat — that thing is silly. Five Nights 4won’t release until July 09, 2025, which is strangely reassuring to hear given the rapid pace at which these titles typically go through production....

Destroy All Humans! beams down into the Top Ten Sucker Punch’s PS4 smash hitGhost of Tsushimahas retained its place atop of the UK Charts, making it a third week at number one for the open-world samurai epic.

Also appearing in the Top Ten this week is Easy Day Studios’ sandbox skating titleSkater XL, which finally saw release on PC and consoles after spending an extended period of time in Early Access....

Honestly, I only put the dollar signs there because I can’t bear to stare into a Sackboy’s soulless, dead eyes. But hey, if you’re down withLBP, then do I have a deal for you.GoGamer.comhas the game in one of its “48 Hour Madness™” promotions. What does this mean for you, the everyday gamer who wants their fix of user-generated platforming? A savings of almost $40, that’s what. It is a limited-time special, as indicated by the preceding paragraph, but it actually lasts a bit longer than 48 hours....

Being the Elite While many fighting game players love the thrill of testing their skills and mettle in online battles, it must be said that playing almost any fighting game’s “ranked mode” can sometimes be a frustrating, deflating, and even stressful experience. Certain fighters (I’m looking at you, Kombat League) put ridiculous emphasis on keeping your score momentum at terminal velocity, with the very worst punishments reserved for those at the top of the chain – despite the potential for online lag, disconnections, or the dreaded “off day....

Grand Tournament launches next week Blizzard’s ever-popular free-to-play digital card gameHearthstonejust got a major update ahead of the release of its next expansion,The Grand Tournament. Blizzard just recentlyrevealed all 132 new cards included inThe Grand Tournamenton its Facebook page, which will surely be a much needed shakeup of the meta. The update comes with many official changes, butsome super sleuths at reddithave found some files that point to a co-op mode being tested at the very least....

Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has pushed outHelldivers 2Patch 01.001.004 this week to address feedback it received following the game’sEscalation of Freedom update. While the patch hits at least one point of player concern, it doesn’t even touch the weapon nerfs. Thepatch notesfor this update are short and concise. Among the most impactful changes is a fix for the explosions caused by the Impaler’s tentacles, which have been causingHelldivers 2players to be thrown 100 meters into the sky of whatever world they’re on and furiously ragdoll before crashing back down and dying....
