Elden Ring should be safe from the security exploit which took Dark Souls PvP offline

Some feared this hole might be present in Elden Ring too. However, FromSoft are a little busy right now. “We will continue to do everything we can to bring back these services as soon as possible.” But at least FromSoft’s new game should be safe. Yes, it is galling that players had to do this because Bamco wouldn’t. They shut down PvP servers on the 23rd of January.

Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX review: brilliant monitor, terrifying price

Even in SDR, it maxes out at a gleaming 487.1cd/m2. It’s not just blasting out nits for the sake of it, either. Theres also a teensy, tiny bit of ghosting on fast-moving objects. The ROG Swift PG32UQX is better at just about everything else, mind. And again, a smidge of ghosting doesnt remotely make for a smudgy mess. The design and build quality are up to snuff, too. The feature list is decent too, including USB pass-through and a camera mount on top....

Grapple Dog review: a cute yet frustrating platformer

Swinging up the wrong tree I resentGrapple Dogfor making me resent Grapple Dog. He doesnt deserve it. See his little paws, there, dangling out of that cannon? Tip of the iceberg. We started off on much better terms. Its a decent hook in some regards, but its woefully limited. you might only aim it diagonally left or right, or straight upwards. Not too much, though. I cant totally condemn that approach....

BioShock Infinite's dancing bread boy is the start of some good game dev tales

She went on to explain the birth of bread-bearing boogieboy ina Twitter thread. Frey explained that part of her work on Binfinite and its DLC was placing all the background characters. Boy dances with baguette! “I figured if anyone asked I’d just say “bread is great right?!” Video games are magic held together with sticky tape and hope. That’s another good story. You know, rather than the writing he’d been doing, and was ostensibly being rewarded for....

Blood Bowl 3 is another fond, faithful adaptation't it be more?

After all these years of hardship. After everything they told me. I will show them that even I can be the best player. The pitch suitably set for bathos, no series fan will be surprised by what happens next. No sooner has our protagonist left the tunnel than hes launched skyward by a backhand from an ogre. In the matchs opening moments, he sees more airtime than the ball. As a coach, you do your best not to tempt the supreme being with the clacking white cubes....

Diplomacy Is Not An Option review (early access): peasant-smashing fun on a giant scale

Like a besieged castle, I am also in a state of constant high-alert and paralysing, teeth-grinding stress. The imagined mobile game is a helpful point of comparison. The endless mode feels more like the real core of the game. For all its simplicity, Diplomacy Is Not An Option is also bloody hard. Which is frankly a poor use of time travel. The game has also launched Early Access with, predictably, some rough edges....
