Immortal A new Souls-like shooter, Immortal: Unchained, has been announced and Immortal: Unchained looks to shake up the genre a bit but still keep it difficult It looks like we have another "Souls-like" title to look forward to now as Immortal: Unchained has been given a full announcement and is poised to hit the PS4, Xbox One, and PC at some point. You can read that as there has yet to be a release date set down for the game, but that does not mean that Toadman Interactive does not want you to at least hear about the title. This is of course why we are here right now and that is to talk about Immortal: Unchained now that it is out there in the world. Read More...

Shadow Of War Another tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War has been shown off and now we have to look out for the Marauders in Shadow Of War among others The next tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War is up and ready for us to check out. It looks like we may be getting a new one each week leading up to October 10th when the game lands on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC at this rate. That is of course if Monolith Productions has crafted that many different factions of Orcs to thwart our progress in the game. That would put us at a total of eight different tribes in Shadow Of War when all is said and done and that does not seem like too tall of an order. Read More...

Agony New screenshots for Agony have been released and they show off a bit more of the fires from Hell that Agony will be putting us all through It has been a bit of time since last we heard about Agony and even then it was that the game was being delayed a bit to bring us all a bigger and better physical release for the game. Sadly, none of this is to bring you a release date that is being set down by Madmind Studio for the game, but it is here to bring you a few more items to look at while we all wait. I swear that the release for Agony is just as the name for the game states but nonetheless it is at least nice to get a few more glimpses into the hellish world we will be trying to escape from when it does finally land on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Assassin’s Creed More gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Origins is out there and it gives us a better look at how large the world of Assassin’s Creed Origins will be A whole lot of information and impressions for Assassin’s Creed Origins seemed to have flooded out of Gamescom with many sounding based on the similar demo shown off in the recent past for the game. I am not saying this is a bad thing here at all, but this is what Ubisoft has been bringing around so everyone can have a chance to give it all a play before October 27th when it hits the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. However, during the most recent event, we did get to see more of the inner machinations and scheming that will be going on with the power players in Assassin’s Creed Origins all to drive the story a bit more.

Video Games A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here's a recap of what we covered in the world of video games on the site this week Another fine week of video games in the bag and there was still so much that we did not get a chance to cover this week. I guess that is what having another huge gaming event like Gamescom will do to us all when we are just trying to share it all. I mean, we had a lot of updates and news for Shadow Of War this week and a continued update for South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Not to mention some other great video games getting the announcement like Biomutant and Jurassic World Evolution. Read More...

Inmates Another psychological horror title is in the works, Inmates, and it looks like Inmates will be bringing all kinds of terror just as we have seen before Out at Gamescom it looks like we had another announcement in the form of a game called Inmates. It may sound like this may be some kind of commentary on the prison systems around the world, but in fact this is a new psychological horror game from Iceberg Interactive that will be driving right on to the PC in a few month. The actual release date is not set down just yet, but it has been stated that Inmates will release in the next few months so take that as you will. At a $9. Read More...

Secret Of Mana It looks like Secret Of Mana is getting a remaster, but this is not just a Secret Of Mana with better sprites. It is remaster with full 3D & voice overs If you were hoping for even more blasts from the past that have the Square Enix stamp on it, then get ready as it looks like Secret Of Mana is now heading to the PS4, PS Vita, and PC on February 15th of 2018. Yes, this game from 1993 is getting a remastered version for those platforms, but the interesting thing here is that it is going to be a fully 3D revamp for the game and not just one with updated sprites and textures. Yes, we are getting Secret Of Mana in 3D and with voice-overs to go along with it. Read More...

Biomutant A new title, Biomutant, was announced at Gamescom and it looks like Biomutant will be bringing the best in bionics, mutants, and Kung Fu in 2018 Get ready for another new IP to come to us all as Biomutant has been given the full announcement treatment out at Gamescom here in the way of a cinematic trailer. That does not do too much to show off this title from Experiment 101 in terms of gameplay, but it does show that THQ Nordic is still open to some amazing looking ideas and this is what we have here. Especially since Biomutant is listed as a Kung Fu Fable but it also includes the combination of mutant powers, bionics, and weapons in an open-world action RPG. Read More...

Shadow Of War A new tribe of Orcs for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War is here to grind us up and use our blood to grease their machines in Shadow Of War We have seen one of the new Orc factions for Middle-Earth: Shadow Of War already, so here we go with yet another. These are new here for the game and really just seem to make sure that there is more going on with each of these potential allies and enemies in the game world, and here we are with the second one that Monolith Productions has for us. This is the Machine Tribe and as you most likely have guessed, they are all about the war machines and devices in Shadow Of War. Well, at least as much as they can get away with given the technology of the setting and such. Read More...

South Park More gameplay for South Park: The Fractured But Whole has been released for Gamescom & it goes into more of the crafting system for this South Park game Last year at Gamescom South Park: The Fractured But Whole had a nice showing of the game at the state it was at that also came with a 4D experience of being able to smell the farts that were being produced. It was something to say you did and it gave Ubisoft a chance to spend more money promoting a title that was later delayed for almost another year. This year, as I am assuming, they are playing it a bit safer and, assuming, they are showing off a bit more of the demo for The Fractured But Whole that was shown off at E3. Read More...

Hunt Another developer diary for Hunt: Showdown has been released to show us some of the weapons and traps we will use in Hunt: Showdown & how they were made We have all been waiting for more for Hunt: Showdown and now we have just a bit more as we have the next developer diary here to show off a bit more of the game. That and just a bit more on how Crytek has gone through the process to make it feel dirty and grimy and also with a bit of the real-world flair to it all. This is all something that we know they can do well already, but it is nice to get to see how they came up with the looks for some of the weapons and traps in Hunt: Showdown. Read More...

Minecraft We sit down and review Minecraft: Story Mode — Giant Consequences. This is the second episode of Telltale's second take on Mojang's famed Minecraft franchise. Here's our review on how they did The story continues as the second episode of Minecraft: Story Mode new season has released and is out there for those who want to take each with a bit of break in-between and not binge the whole thing. Giving yourself a break between each episode so you can reflect on what just happened seems to be the ongoing M.O. Read More...

Jurassic World If the Jurassic World films are not enough for you, then get excited as Jurassic World Evolution has just been announced to launch alongside the film We have another game that just received its announcement and that would be Jurassic World Evolution. Yes, we are getting a new game in the franchise here next year and it is coming to our PS4, Xbox One, and PC all around the same time that the next feature film drops. That makes this sound like a film tie-in to me and we all know how all of that goes. I am not saying that Jurassic World Evolution is going to fall directly into that design as many others have, but it does not sound like the best thing. Read More...

Batman The release date for Batman: The Enemy Within's second episode has been set and it looks like another big Batman villain is joining in on the fun The first episode of Batman: The Enemy Within did an amazing job of bringing the story back to us and it looks like that will all continue on in very short order. Well, at least short order compared to other titles from Telltale Games that may take more than a few months to get out there. However, here we go with the second episode of Batman: The Enemy Within launching on the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile device on September 26th. Read More...

Far Cry 5 New gameplay for Far Cry 5 is out there from Gamescom and it shows off some of the mini-games of Far Cry 5 as well as other ways to save the innocent If you wanted more Far Cry 5 then you have it. In fact, we have a whole lot more of the game here in terms of gameplay as Ubisoft takes us all on an extended look at some of the current gameplay being floated around out there to show off many other aspects of the game. It has been released here for Gamescom, but as it sounds, this is a slice of footage from back as far as E3 when they were showing off Far Cry 5 during that show. None of it was seen by me personally so I have a feeling it was all "behind closed doors" or for "privileged media" to experience, but now it is here and adds in a few things that we may or may not have wanted for the game.
