Although Demeo - an upcoming fantasy dungeon crawler for both PC and VR platforms - was announced towards the tail-end of last year, we are just now getting our first glimpse of its gameplay. A brand-new trailer was released today, showing off exactly what players can expect when the turn-based dungeon crawler releases next year. The trailer begins as you might expect any epic dungeon adventure to begin. A warrior prepares to attack a hallway full of enemies (as a booming voiceover narrates his every move), but he is quickly interrupted by the rest of his party asking him to just take his turn....

The Washington Justice recently announced Hyeon-Woo “JJANU” Choi and Chung-hee “Stitch” Lee would be joining the team. This news comes after both JJANU and Stitch were released from the Vancouver Titans and the Justice lost two of their three DPS players including star player Corey Nigra.

Remember Ecco The Dolphin? Some of us don’t since we weren’t even alive when it came out, but we think our parents might have played it once? Anyways congrats on remembering Ecco and having a slight existential crisis at the fact that time is ever fleeting. Ecco The Dolphin may not have reached the heights of Sonic, but it was a challenging adventure that lured in Sega fans with its cute aesthetic, only to deliver quite a punishing adventure game....

Well, dang. As we gradually piece together more and more details about Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 5, it’s clear that we’re going to have quite the powerhouse on our hands. Now, we all know that the gaming industry can be a very cutthroat place. Developers and publishers sometimes can’t resist making snide digs at each other, trying to one-up each other, all the usual shenanigans. Gamers themselves are no better. Since the days of Sega does what Nintendon’t and the schoolyard Mario vs Sonic debates, things have tended to get heated....

Idris Elba has a certain unmistakeable, charismatic vibe about him. The resulting magnetism extends to the wide range of characters he has brought to life over the years – from playing the second-in-command to a drug kingpin in The Wire to playing a guy who has to deal with the likes like Michael Scott in The Office, to playing a dedicated horseman committed to fighting off gentrifying developers in his neighborhood in the recently released Concrete Cowboy....

When playing open world RPGs such as The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, players are given seemingly endless ways to shape their unique gameplay. Some players stick to just enjoying the main story, others spend hours completing every side quest, and some obsess over collecting every single Gwent card in the game. Though The Witcher 3 has so many components to it, it can get challenging to try to utilize every single aspect of the intricate game....

Although this quest in The Witcher 3 is steeped in espionage and linked to other quests revolving around spies and politics, “A Deadly Plot” is undeniably more of a hostage rescue scenario. This secondary quest can be started by having a conversation with Dijkstra at the end of the quest “Now or Never”. Be sure not to start “The Isle of Mists” main quest, as that will cause this one to fail....

Even as BioWare is breaking the news that longtime Creative Director Casey Hudson is no longer with the company, they are still continuing business as usual. After all, the developer has a new IP on the horizon, which they hope to reveal at this year’s Gamescom.

Dreams has made a bunch of headlines recently for its ease of use and versatility, allowing its users to make incredible original designs or recreate other games entirely. The only problem with Dreams is that it’s only available on the PlayStation 4....

Aside from bugs that impact quality or progression, glitches continue to be a relentless gift within video games. The latest in-game mishap comes from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, involving a horse that gave us flashbacks to The Witcher 3. Posted to Reddit by A_Riften_Guard, the user’s Skyrim character can be seen shooting an enemy with an arrow. While moving in to confirm the kill, a horse randomly drops from the sky onto the terrain, and sadly, doesn’t survive the fall....

Valheim has seen a few great slides since its release back in February. There was the ice ramp that launched a boat all the way from the mountain to the ocean, and then there was this rollercoaster that guided an entire Viking longboat down the mountain like a demented amusement park ride. But neither of them have anything on the latest creation from Reddit user okayshima_. They managed to create an enormous raft luge made out of nothing but wood that goes from mountaintop to sea in one great slide....

Netflix is about to get a whole lot spookier. The streaming giant has ordered a brand new live-action series based on the life of Wednesday Addams. As if that wasn’t spooky enough, the series will be directed by the master of macabre, Tim Burton. While rumors of this project’s development have been floating around for a few months, no streaming service had been tied to it. Now, Netflix has given the go-ahead for an eight-episode series....

Yesterday came the official word from Activision that Transformers: War for Cybertron 2 was officially coming next fall, titled Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. We know the game will remain Cybertron-based so that sets our expectations for character designs and the aesthetic since the series isn’t moving to Earth just yet but we don’t know what characters will be introduced… outside of Grimlock. Grimlock!? Yes, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is taking the cover of the November issue of Game Informer and in addition to featuring franchise poster boys Optimus Prime and Bumblebee on the covers, Grimlock, the infamous Generation 1 Dinobot is there too!...

Yeah, yeah, she defuses bombs, her partner exploded, she gets hot in a heatwave and has a little ponytail, but who is she? After episode one’s series of entertainingly tense set pieces, now’s the time for Trigger Point to deliver on character.
