The full collection Last week we delved into the mind of Lyndon “Willowstration” Willoughby as they presented a first look at their “Linktober” homage art series, but now that it’s completely finished the entire thing is worth checking out all over again. From lowest to highest, Willowstration notes that their top sevenZeldagames are: Link’s Awakening, Link to the Past,Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Breath of the WildandMajora’s Mask! Classy picks for sure, and I bet a lot of folks are going to be glad thatBreath of the Wildisn’t number one given that we’re only just a year and change from its release....

YOU RECOVERED [Header image byJanPhilippEckert] [Once we promoted a story here where a community member drew allusions between a struggling relative’s dementia and a specific character inDark Souls. Now once again we return to the game, where community member Dr. Amphibian reflects on his struggles with alcoholism and how he put offDark Soulsuntil he was at his lowest point. ~Strider] With the impending release ofDark Souls III(just a few more days…), I thought now might be an appropriate time to put this out there....

Mostly area-specific glitches Bandai Namco has just updatedDark Souls IIIwith a small hotfix (1.03.1 on PC, 1.04 on consoles) that clears up a few glitches. Most notably, problems that arise when players complete the game and have trouble using specific items in the Cathedral of the Deep, Farron Keep, and Road of Sacrifices. Then there’s a few balance tweaks, with changes to the Dancer’s Enchanted Sword, Farron Flashsword, Soul’s Greatsword, and Greatswords in general....

Developer shares more updates TheDayZteam has come through withanother blog postonDayZ Standalonethat covers a lot of ground. Visuals make up a good portion of this entry, including a number of screenshots that show off more thaninterior furniture. (Not to say we don’t like seeing that, too!) It’s worth looking at the comparison image that highlights the improvements made over the originalDayZmod. Designer Dean Hall writes that while it’s unclear whenStandalonewill go public, saying: “We’re going to take our time....

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds me exactly how lucky I am to have the most ridiculous job in the universe. A couple guys from Double Fine were in the studio to show offHappy Action Theater, the new Kinect game (or, more accurately “fun thing”) that’s coming out next week. Anthony Carboni did a proper episode of his showNew Challengerabout it, whichyou should go watch right here, but in the meantime, check out how out of shape I am....

Electronic Arts was in the center of a very odd controversy earlier this week when it was found to be promotingreal-life weapon saleson itsMedal of Honorwebsite. TheMoH-branded tomahawk has now been removed from sale, and blog posts declaring partnerships with weapons manufacturers are now obscured. Previously, written content byWarfighterexecutive producerGreg Goodrichlinked to a number of sellers, where fans could purchase guns, weapon attachments, and other kill-friendly items. The posts canstill be found, but they’re hidden from menu navigation....

It never came out According to Australian developer Nic Watt, who once worked at Electronic Arts, there was a “Pokemonkiller” in the works from the publisher during the Nintendo DS era. The revelation comes by way of his appearance on the “GameHugs” podcast, and he had this to say about the experience: “Working with EA was a completely different experience [to working with a small studio] as we had the longest prototyping period I’ve had for any game I’ve worked on: it was amazing....

If there’s one thing that everyFalloutgame has taught us, it’s that humans never learn their lesson. As if Earth needed to endure any more nuclear explosions,Fallout 76allows players to launch nukes of their own and even encourages them to do so. While obtaining pre-war nuclear launch codes was a privilege only a few in the world had, the post-apocalyptic wasteland hands out codes as if they were phone numbers. If you’re looking to leave a radioactive scar upon Earth yourself, you’re gonna need to know whatNuke Codesare currently active....

‘You’re doing this for the planet’ [extremely nerds voice] “You’re doing this for the planet, same as us!” There’s a bit of actual, early gameplay from theFinal Fantasy VIIPS4 remakeannounced at E3 this year. you may see a bit of the, “more realistic gameplay” they’re said to be going for with a more dynamic,Final Fantasy XVstyle game, unless it’s more turn-based than it looks coupled with dynamic angles and auto movement (likeFinal Fantasy XIII)....

And, yes, creator Jane Jensen is involved Jane Jensen’s point-and-click adventure seriesGabriel Knightis coming back next year — that’s the impact crowdfunding has had on adventure gaming. Jensen’sPinkerton Roadis remaking the original title,Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers, for PC, Mac, iPad, and Android as part of its 20th anniversary.It’s painful to think that the ’90s were so long ago. It was actually Activision, the license holder, who reached out to Jensen for the remake after the company decided now was the right time....

Three Steam copies, and a copy for each console! Well howdy partners! Ole Mike here, and I am back with another giveaway for a game that I think is pretty darn neato.Colt Canyonis the title in question, and I think it’s quite the banger. It’s a top down, wild west, roguelite-ish blast. Punchy shooting, good movement (and a blessed dodge roll), and a surprising amount of blood loss. Never been great with words (it’s why I don’t review stuff!...
