A Steam slip-up reveals that Dragon Quest’s hack-and-slash spin-off, Dragon Quest Heroes, is coming to the PC, but no official announcement has been made. There was a time that the very words “Dragon Quest” was enough to send Japanese gamers sprinting to the nearest gaming store, money in hand. Dragon Quest was so popular in its native country, lawmakers forbade entries of the series from releasing on weekdays, lest excited gamers skip work and school to enjoy it....

This DUCKTALES review contains spoilers. Lena and Magica’s arc in DuckTales has consistently been the series’ strongest. While fantastical on the surface it’s been grounded in the very real emotions of trauma. It’s shown off the more dramatic side of the series and most of the Lena and Magica episodes have featured some incredibly creepy images. All of that makes ‘The Phantom and the Sorceress!’ fall short in comparison. It’s DuckTales so there’s a lot to love but after two full seasons of building up a strong arc between Magica and Lena this episode rushed through a great deal of development that could have been spread out over a much longer series of episodes....

After all, those who grew up with the likes of Quake and Unreal could well miss the fast-paced gameplay of those titles....

Since the game’s announcement back in 2018, things haven’t exactly flowed smoothly for Dying Light 2, with Techland delaying the sequel indefinitely last year with no mention of when it’d be hitting shelves. Following the significant hiatus, reports hit the web concerning toxic work environments at the Polish studio, with accusations being levied at its CEO, Pawel Marchewka. Regardless, it seems the team is continuing to push forward with the project, announcing today that it will be talking about Dying Light 2 very soon....

Attendance for E3 2017 totaled 68,400, the Electronic Software Association confirmed today. The numbers were announced just a few short hours prior to the show-floor’s closing on E3’s third and final day, though pre-E3 media conferences began as early as the preceding Saturday this year. Attendance marked over a 30% increase compared to the event’s previous year, largely due to an influx of attendees from the public. A ticket for E3 2017 cost a steep $250, but that didn’t prevent 15,000 public attendees from journeying to Los Angeles to experience the convention for themselves....

Time sure flies when you’re having fun, and even more so if you’re gaming.

Nothing makes a game better than installing some fun mods. Unfortunately, few PS4 titles allow you to do that, but that’s not the case when it comes to Fallout 4. Mod support is one of the best features in the console release of the game, for good reason.

The video then spends about 7 minutes on a slide that shows websites for five different organizations fighting racial injustice, including Black Lives Matter, The Antiracist Research & Policy Center, the Equal Justice Initiative, ColorLines, and Showing Up for Racial Justice....
