With its open beta newly available on Steam Early Access,Paladins: Champions of the Realmhas stepped into the spotlight. This is a team-based shooter from Hi-Rez, the studio behindSMITEandTribes: Ascend, and I don’t think it’s unfair to say the game’s main draw is its free-to-play nature. That’ll be especially important on consoles where this specific kind of multiplayer experience can, at the right price, do very well for itself. Hi-Rez has announced PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions ofPaladinsand is now offering closed beta signups for both platforms (PS4 here,Xbox here)....

Zero hesitation I’ll admit, it feels a bit like heresy playingZero Time Dilemmaon a PC, especially considering, well,999. I won’t go into it any more than that for people who haven’t played through the first game. I bought the original on a whim (or I guess pre-ordered, since I have the watch), and absolutely fell in love with it. All the details, all the possibilities, all the…everything! It’s one of my favorite games ever....

Some people were born with a chip on their shoulder Just when you thought the internet couldn’t possibly get any creepier, pornbots have officially made their way onto PSN. I would have probably just brushed this story off as just a bunch of dumb nonsense, but this actually happened to me. It all started with a random user adding me to a group chat. I play games with various folks on the internet all the time, so this didn’t immediately raise any red flags....

Low points in gaming Uncharted 4: A Thief’s Endserves as a weird hanger-on to theUnchartedtrilogy housed on the PS3. We could’ve left it at that, even “that” was the disappointingUncharted 3: Drake’s Deception— especially ifUncharted 4is meant to serve as capstone to Nathan Drake’s story (albeit, admittedly, not the series as a whole). I’m glad they didn’t, mind.Uncharted 4eschewed the droning, repetitive wave-based shoot ’em up that wasUncharted 3while even managing to respect its backstory for Yung Drake....

The newest game from Tequila Works Well, this certaintly came out of nowhere! Developer Tequila Works’ newest project has been unveiled, and it’s an open world adventure for the PlayStation 4. Titled simply asRime, it distinctly reminds me ofIcomixed with a bit ofWind Wakerfor good measure. After the wasted potential that wasDeadlight, I’m very cautious of Tequila Works. Even still, I’ll be right there at day one trying it out, because damn if it doesn’t look amazing....

Iron Studio hasreleased an updateforPacific Drivethat should help anyone who felt the Olympic Exclusion Zone was a bit too unfriendly. The “Drive Your Way” update adds a slew of difficulty settings to fine-tune your experience, along with some other goodies. Difficulty settings are always a good thing. Personally, I like playing at the default or mid-range settings (yes, even when reviewing a game), but I’m not going to fault someone for picking “I’m too young to die....
