Illinois is the latest destination and you’ll be able to take to its highways on May 14th.
A decade on, classic strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic returns triumphant, earning its budget back in just one day
I’ve got a big grin on my face. Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era marks the return of one of the most iconic names in turn-based strategy games, a full decade since its last mainline release. This prequel, built by developer Unfrozen and published by Manor Lords and Against the Storm studio Hooded Horse, pulls us back to where it all began. It’s designed to appeal to both long-time series veterans and complete newcomers, and is already off to a fantastic start, rising to the top of the Steam sales chart and breaking even on its development costs within…
"We got it wrong" with Civilization 7, Take-Two boss admits, and he takes "responsibility" for the strategy game's failures: "What we tried to do was a bridge too far"
Right now, Civ 6 and Civ 5 each have more players in-game on Steam than Civilization 7 – and it’s not particularly close. The latest entry in the venerable 4X strategy series has failed to connect with fans the same way as its predecessors, and Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says you can blame him for the game’s failures.”Every time there’s a new Civ,” Zelnick says in an interview for the latest Game File newsletter, “the team at Firaxis thinks about: ‘How do we push the envelope far enough that it makes sense to buy this new game? And how do…
Following in Fallout's footsteps, British post-apocalyptic survival jaunt Atomfall's now getting a TV show too
Well, this is a nice suprise. Just a couple of weeks on from me revisiting it to check out the DLC it’d gotten since my review run, Rebellion have announced that their Cumbrian post-apocalyptic survior Atomfall’s being adapted into a TV show.
Kingmakers shows signs of life with a few development videos, but I'm still a little concerned
I, like many others, was completely enamored with the pitch of Kingmakers. A time-travel escapade where one man is sent back to medieval times, and for reasons so far unknown, has to fight thousands of troops with the help of modern technology and, more importantly, modern weapons. Ambitious doesn’t cover it. For all the world, it looked as though Kingmakers was going to scratch that open-world game, Army of Darkness itch I’ve had for decades, until the developer released a message that it was going to miss its early access release date. Since then, we’ve officially heard nothing. It’s been…
"No one is going to laugh at that": Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon says his feedback on a Johnny Cage sequel fight was "dead wrong"
Mortal Kombat co-creator and movie producer Ed Boon has admitted his feedback on a Johnny Cage fight sequence in Mortal Kombat 2 was way off base.”I had one where I was dead wrong,” Boon told IGN. “I was reading the script and the sequence with Johnny Cage and Baraka. Baraka says, ‘Johnny fucking Cage’. That line, I was like, ‘There’s no way Baraka would say that, no one is going to laugh at that.’ It’s like one of the biggest laughs in the movie… I’m glad I was wrong.”While you’ll have to wait until May 8 to see how that…

Marvel's upcoming Punisher special takes place "before and during" the events of Daredevil: Born Again season 2, says showrunner
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 showrunner Dario Scardapane has finally confirmed where Punisher: One Last Kill fits into the MCU timeline.”I don’t know a ton about what goes on in Brand New Day, and I know very well where we left him at the end of Punisher Season 2,” Scardapane told Variety. “I think this tells the story of what happened next after Punisher and before and during the events of [Born Again] Season 2.”Some fans (hi, me) were pretty upset that Frank Castle was absent from Daredevil: Born Again season 2, but it was for two pretty valid reasons:…
