Enjoy just under six minutes of the adorable-looking stealth roguelike It’s been a while since we last talked about Puppygames’ newest project, the creepy/adorable stealth-roguelikeBasingstoke, so I thought it would be a good idea to check in with the developers and see how things are coming along. Not only did we get a status report on the game, we’ve also got just under six minutes of intriguing gameplay to share with you as well....

Shadow of the Vikings’ Losses InJotun, you play as a Viking named Thora who died and needs to prove herself to the Gods to enter Valhalla. To do this, she must battle giant enemies. Are you done applauding that sub-header yet? What, I’m the only one who thinks it’s super clever? Oh. Well. M’man Jed loved him someJotunwhen hereviewed ita couple months ago. If the only thing holding you back from trying it was its PC-exclusive status, the Thunder Lotus team heard your cries of despair (shouldn’t you reserve despair for events that are comparatively more horrible?...

Have you seenThe Banner Sagaon Kickstarter? Before you run off at my mention of the K-word, know that it has already surpassed its pledge goal (four times over), and more importantly, it looks ridiculously good. Turns out people want a well-animated turn-based RPG centered around a mature viking tale. Having brought in so much extra funding, developer Stoic is expanding the scope of this project.

WhenCowzilla posted those mind blowing Mega Man wallpaperslast weekend, I double-freaked out. The first freak out was over the quality of the artwork. The second freak out was over the fact that I didn’t recognize every character. I love Mega Man a lot more than most 33-year-olds, but I still didn’t know about all of these cute little bastards. With a little research (and help from MegaStryke), I got them all; except for one....

So Rockstar’sGrand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damnedis available now on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Is it 1600 MS Points well spent? Don’t know yet; we have Conrad Zimmerman on the case, and we won’t let him sleep until he’s finishing playing the content for our upcoming review. But even if you want to play it regardless, maybe you can’t. Maybe you don’t have an Xbox 360, or maybe you’re stuck at work....

“Good to have you back.” IO Interactive debuted a first look at its newHitmanduring Sony’s E3 2015 press conference. Somewhat of a different vibe, at least from the trailer, but that’s still Agent 47. Boy, just look at him go! Running mad through the snowy woods. Better take that aggression out on some assignments. The game is headed to PC, PS4, and Xbox One, but PlayStation will have six exclusive contracts, and there will also be a “console exclusive beta” for folks who pre-order....

At E3, THQ promised an exclusive gameplay mode (featuring thedildo bat) inSaints Row: The Thirdfor PS3 users. It seems, however, that such a promise was not kept, with no extra PS3 features appearing whatsoever. THQ has refused to comment as reports crop up detailing the complete lack of difference between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. While this might be great news for 360 owners, anybody who bought the PS3 version on the grounds that they’d be getting more gameplay can feel quite rightly duped....

This microtransaction has a lot more bang for your buck Psyonix has finally implemented the long-awaitedRocket Pass, which is a sort of event subscription for earning cosmetic items through gameplay. The closest analog is probablyFortnite‘s Battle Pass. It’sRocket League‘s way of making level progression matter again. It’s also the newest form of microtransaction (even if it is stretching the term a bit). The Rocket Pass premium track costs 10 keys, which is generally accepted to be worth $10....
