Lost Ark’s Machinist class arrives this month with big own-brand Iron Man vibes

Think of the Machinist as the Aldi equivalent to Marvels Tony Stark, Iron Man. The Machinist is Lost Arks fifth gunneradvanced class, following on from theDeadeye,Gunslinger,Artillerist, andSharpshooter. Youll have a couple of different class engravings to muck about with and enhance your Machinist. Its the first major in-game event that wasnt previously in the original Korean and Russian version of Lost Ark. Im still giggling to myself about its daft beer-head cosmetic nearly a week later....

Rockstar owner Take-Two's hacking woes continue as 2K confirm attack on their support service

The hacker then fired off a message to some accounts that contained a malicious link. The hack was made public by 2K Supports account onTwitter, along with some advice to potentially affected customers. Hey folks, just read an important message from our Customer Support team.

Scorn's gross meat palace isn't that scary, but its writhing mass of hardcore puzzles did put the fear in me

Nope - the game wasn’t what I expected at all. At least, not the 45-minute portion I got to play. Don’t get me wrong, it was still unsettling and grotesque! And it certainly wasn’t scatological, as surfaces seemed mercifully clean of poo and/or wee. To me, it seemed to be aiming for a more understated body horror where flesh met machine. Or, to put it another way, where each room and corridor felt like a splayed open cyborg....

Spelunky 2's latest patch adds crossplay online multiplayer

Dont expect any more additions to single-player though, as the focus there is bug fixes. Yuexplaineda bit more about why it’s taken time to implement all Spelunky 2s planned online features. At its worst (for online, I mean! On top of that, it’s a fairly fast-paced and detailed arcade-style game. So there’s a lot to keep track of at any given moment. Integrating crossplay into the game has provided devs Mossmouth with some challenges too....

What's better: ding! or the Howie scream?

This week, ah sure, why not have another crack at pitting two similar-ish things against each other. It feels against the spirit of the competition but I’m curious. Let’s try two sounds. What’s better: ding! or the Howie scream? What’s a level-up if no one celebrates your effort with fanfare? More tools to better handle future difficulties? Ugh, no thank you. Give me that ding! It doesn’t have to be a dinging bell, of course....

Wordle answer (Wednesday 21 September 2022): Wordle word of the day #459 and hints

Yep, that’s a suitably pretentious opening to aWordleguide. And for good reason! It’s a truly ingenious little puzzle game, and I’d advise everyone to give it a go. Check out theWordle hint and answer for Tuesday 22nd Aprilinstead! The word is… RECAP. A nice straightforward word for today’s Wordle, with its common consonants and pleasing consonant-vowel symmetry. So, torecap(heh heh), today’s Wordle word is “recap”. Don’t go spreading the answer itself to those who haven’t yet played the game today....

Hyper Demon is a trippy, surprise new FPS from the Devil Daggers devs

Brace yourself as you watch the nightmarish trailer below. It’s a wild one. Devs Sorath say Hyper Demons about aiming to reach the end as quickly as possible. Thats different from Devil Daggers, which you had to survive in for as long as you could. However, slaying baddies in Hyper Demon makes them spawn faster, which naturally ups the difficult somewhat. Im here for it. Dont think Ill survive all the demons for too long, like, but Im here for it....

Rockstar confirm GTA 6 leaks, but say it won't have any "long-term effect" on development

Other than this leaked early footage, there isnt a lot to go on about the next GTA. The game was only formallyacknowledgedto be in development at Rockstar in February this year. Rockstar received some deserved flak in 2018 for then-boss Dan Houser saying staff had worked100-hour weeks. That culture seems to be showing signs of changing, according toreportsfrom back in July. Grand Theft Auto 6 doesnt have a release window yet....

Ryu Ga Gotoku confirm their series isn't Yakuza anymore, it’s Like A Dragon

In Japan, the Yakuza series has always been known by the same name as its developer. Ryu Ga Gotoku basically translates to Like A Dragon. Its like when Resident Evil 7 was subtitled Biohazard, except we didn’t then see Biohazard Village happen. Thanks Capcom, I guess? So it just makes sense for us not to include them in the name, Yokoyama said. If we carry through the accent, we’d be Yakuza: Ishin!...
