Baldur’s Gate 3 lets you go full-tilt evil, as I’ve been discovering in my Dark Urge honour mode rampage—but there’s evil that’s coded into the game’s narrative, and then there’s emergent evil. Well, I say ‘evil’, but I’m not even sure this counts. Two out of three people involved had it coming in some way, though before I can dig my claws into this messed-up turducken: Major spoilers for Act 3 incoming. 

Karlach casts Gortash’s mom on Gortash from r/BaldursGate3

This particularly inventive kill of Gortash comes from Syntactics2411 on the game’s subreddit. They’ve sought out, slain, and pocketed the body of Gortash’s mother. Then, they’ve used it to bludgeon him to death as Karlach, t…

Every time I think I’ve mentally adjusted to Magic: The Gathering’s crossovers, a new one comes along and further discombobulates me. Hatsune Miku and King Arthur from Monty Python and the Holy Grail will soon be able to share the same deck in the same TCG. What a time to be alive.

The crossover event is part of Magic: The Gathering’s “Secret Lair” series—essentially, a bunch of normal cards get reskinned as part of ongoing collaborations with artists and properties. The set will take place in two parts—one with five cards, the other with three (plus a token). Courtesy of IGN’s exclusive preview, here are the nine cards you’ll be able to get your hands on, plus the card art as shared on the Magic: The Gathering subreddit.

The latest issue of Edge Magazine includes an extensive interview with IO Interactive co-owners Hakan Abrak and Christian Elverdam about the studio’s first 25 years and, of course, its future. A huge part of that is a new James Bond game, which IO announced in 2020 as an origin story with its own version of Bond: despite there being decades of 007 games, this is the first to ever take such an approach, with the others tying in to particular movies or actors.

Edge suggests the tone will be “closer to Daniel Craig than Roger Moore”, which is hardly a surprise, and that this may be a more scripted experience than the relatively freeform Hitman games. But details remain scant, other than that IO had a tough time pitching EON on a Bond game: largely because of how the ind…

Skyrim has plenty of oddities. There’s the goldfish memory of your enemies, the way you can get good enough at pickpocketing to literally steal the shirt off someone’s back, and how it’s possible for NPCs to attain a level of narrative importance sufficient to ward off death. But those are nothings. Trifles. Mere bagatelles compared to the game’s most major inconsistency: The pheasants.

Think about it. Pheasants are all over the place in Skyrim, but only ever as corpses. They hang in kitchens and linger in food halls, but you can count the number of living ones you see on no hands at all. Are we to believe that the denizens of Skyrim, like the hunters of the Dodo, reduced the region’s pheasant population to a set of cold bodies and warm memories? How long have they been g…

The final update for Marvel’s Avengers is now live, meaning players now have full access to “nearly all” of the game’s content, including outfits, emotes, takedowns, and nameplates, plus a special “Founder’s Gift” for everyone who’s earned at least one achievement or trophy by April 1.

The end for Marvel’s Avengers came in January, when Crystal Dynamics threw in the towel after more than two years of trying and failing to find a sustainable audience. The game stumbled right out of the gate—we said it “didn’t exactly look superheroic” in our first preview in 2019—and it didn’t get much better from there: Fans were confused by platform-exclusive content releases, a 2020 beta test left us cold, and by the end of 2021, Square Enix conceded that it was a “disappointing” rel…

Dark and Darker’s return to Steam should have been cause for celebration. After a legal dispute with Nexon saw it removed from the platform in 2023, developer Ironmace was finally able to get it back on the store last week. Unexpectedly, it also shed its price, relaunching instead as a free-to-play deal. And that’s where the trouble began. 

See, Dark and Darker isn’t really free to play. What free players get is a restrictive mode that offers a stripped down version of the full Dark and Darker experience. It’s not uncommon for free-to-play games to restrict free players in various ways, though many simply sell cosmetics and conveniences to earn revenue. But the free-to-play version of Dark and Darker feels more like a demo. 

Unless you buy the full version…

Trepang2, the spectacular FPS heavily inspired by Monolith’s F.E.A.R, kneeslides its way onto Steam on June 21.

The release date’s reveal was accompanied by a new trailer providing an extensive look at Trepang2’s flashy, bloody combat, as well as a few glimpses of the game’s story. You play a supersoldier known simply as “106” who has escaped from a research institute belonging to the shady Horizon corporation. Rescued by a paramilitary organisation with aspirations of taking down Horizon, you’re sent back to exact vengeance on the people who imprisoned you.

All of which serves as a loose framework for some delightfully excessive action. Like the game upon which it is based, Trepang2 laces its shooting with over-the-top effects. Any given encounter will fill the air with spa…
