Every good horror starts with someone investigating panicked screams all by themselves.Aliens: Dark Descentis no different. The prologue begins with us venturing below deck to look into the commotion we saw on the failing security cameras, bringing nothing but a torch and some goodwill. We find facehuggers wrapping their tails around people’s necks, hatched eggs twisting the environment around them, and eventually, a lone xenomorph hunting for prey. They’re so terrifyingly strong that all we can do is hide, sneaking around to the exit—the game is teaching us to use the shadows and cover to our advantage....

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandoraset its stall out right away, letting everybody know that the game would be a first-person adventure. This was already announced, but given thatthe Ubisoft Forward trailer was the first time many people would have paid any attention to the game, it made sense to open with it. The transparency felt like a conscious choice to avoid player disappointment, but a better way to avoid this disappointment would be to not have that restriction at all....

There aren’t many mediums that can truly support or adapt video game mechanics. However, considering that most party-based video games are inspired bytabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, it only makes sense that things would come full circle. There are now many tabletop games inspired by video games, some even using mechanics from their respective games as well. TTRPGs inspired by video game RPGs are pretty common, given that the major changes are cosmetic; but there are also games that are unique, with a gameplay loop based on the video game itself, rather than a particular genre....

Crash Team Rumble is a fundamentally flawed game, and I don’t think there’s anything that can be done to save it. I’ve already explained thatit’s kind of a MOBA, but without any of the things that make MOBAs fun, and our ownStacey Henley echoed those sentimentsin her review when she called it “the most basic version of a MOBA [with] nothing added on top”. I think that it’s unlikely that this $30 live-service game with an uninspired battle pass and weak gameplay is going to catch on, but there’s one aspect I hope survives this misguided endeavor: Crash can freakin’ move, boi....

Final Fantasy 16is finally here, and now fans are slowly embarking on Clive Rosfield’s epic kaiju adventure, a lot of conversations have surfaced regarding exactly what this game is. Is it Final Fantasy? Is it an RPG?Is it worth playing?All valid questions, and all ones with entirely subjective answers.
