Pensive and flamboyant action-RPG Soulframe has just received a new update that adds a pirate class, together with rapiers, cutlasses, and a flouncy sailor’s outfit. The class in question is the Duelo pact, which boasts of “swashbuckling abilities”: these include an artful dodge that spawns a decoy phantom, an enemy-slowing sword flourish, and the old classic ‘flintlock to the face’ manoeuvre. They’re also introducing a haunted shipwreck environment, plus a bunch of new enemies, another siege infiltration activity, and the ever-popular quality-of-life improvements. “WHY ARE ALL GAMES ABOUT PIRATES NOW,” I lamented to James, before starting this article. James ignored…
Intel Nova Lake is expected to be the next generation of Intel desktop gaming CPUs and arrive under the Core Ultra 400D and 400DX naming scheme. Despite the 400 in their name, these will be just the second generation of Core Ultra desktop CPUs, but are expected to bring huge increases in core counts and cache levels over the current Intel Core Ultra 200 / Arrow Lake series. The arrival of Nova Lake is expected to be Intel’s first serious threat to the dominance of AMD’s AM5 X3D chips, when it comes to being the best gaming CPU in the…

Five years after it first debuted in theaters, Avengers: Endgame is getting a re-release – and a new version of the movie is hitting the big screen, featuring brand-new footage from Avengers: Doomsday.”It’s critically important to re-release the movie, and, in fact, we’ll be re-releasing the film with footage that is set in the Doomsday story that we have added to Avengers: Endgame,” co-director Joe Russo said during an appearance at Sands Film Festival (via Deadline).”It’s an opportunity to create a bridge from Endgame to Doomsday in a very unique way, and because the movie was so successful, we have…
AMD’s Ryzen 5 9600X has traditionally been the most affordable entry point into Team Red’s latest generation of processors, which yielded modest gains in gaming performance over the 7600X but much larger gains in its efficiency to make it a more optimal choice. It’s usually been a deal when I’ve spotted it at £160-£180 in the past, although you can currently snag an ‘As New’ condition for £131 on Amazon with its Resale section (formerly the Amazon Warehouse). There was a deal running to get a new one for £135 earlier today, which went very quickly, and this is technically…

Crimson Desert star Trevor McEwan – the performance capture actor and reference model for protagonist Kliff – understands why some players might find the open-world adventure’s story a bit lackluster, but he reckons the game “more than makes up for” it with other aspects.Speaking on Reddit, McEwan is asked for his take on Crimson Desert’s plot, with one fan noting that many players find it rather “barebones.” The actor responds, “Yeah, I get that, but I think what it lacks in narrative it more than makes up for in other aspects.”He also notes that – if fans “don’t mind a…
Grim and grubby mercenary tactics game Menace is getting a big update that removes a “not-so-popular” promotion tax, gives all units the ability to clear away wrecked vehicles, and reworks the major Construct enemy faction, deemed by developers Overhype to be “severely lacking in uniqueness, variety, and style”. Given that the Construct are a faction of slathering robo-zombies, I feel like condemning them for a stark want of “uniqueness, variety, and style” is a bit harsh. Hideously grafted cybernetic abominations aren’t supposed to look fresh, playas. Still, this is a bountiful update to a very promising turn-based tactics game –…
