Henry Cavill Gently Corrects TV Host: It's Warhammer, Not Warcraft
7.12.2021
This is a conversation that I’m sure has played out countless times across kitchens and living rooms around the world as children, friends and partners patiently try and explain the difference between a video game universe and a tabletop wargaming universe. I just don’t know if it’s ever been done...
Vydavatelství Take-Two útočí na hru It Takes Two. Jméno je prý moc podobné
7.12.2021
Prapodivný spor nastal mezi vydavatelstvím Take-Two a studiem Hazelight, které stojí za letošní oceňovanou hrou It Takes Two. Vydavatelství zaútočilo na ochrannou známku hry. Nelíbí se jim jméno, které je s tím jejich prý moc podobné

Streamer vystupující pod přezdívkou btecbill_ přišel kvůli chvilkové nepozornosti o rekordní uloženou pozici ve hře Minecraft. Svoji postavu tam držel při životě přesně 4 317 dní, což je více než 11 let
You Can’t Replay Campaign Missions In Halo Infinite
6.12.2021
One of the joys of Halo is its replayability. Ask any devotee and you’ll get some story about endlessly rerunning “The Library” in Halo: Combat Evolved, or replaying Halo 2’s “Delta Halo” to get out of bounds and explore that uncannily Canada-looking mountain range. Sadly, at least at launch,...

Dead Cells' Constant Mutations Make It One Of The Best Games Of 2021, Too
6.12.2021
I love Dead Cells. The side-scrolling combat and platforming are tight, the art is impeccable, and its progression system and unlock curve are among the best I’ve ever seen. It feels like a near-perfectly designed game. In the three years since its release, it has become even better—and a more...

Halo Infinite's Crystal-Clear Visual Design Puts Its Murky Competitors To Shame
6.12.2021
I cannot believe I am praising a video game because I can see it, but hear me out. Somewhere along the line, maybe in the last decade and some change, shooters have become a visual mess. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to squint hard in games like Battlefield to try and determine if...
Unreal's Matrix Teaser Has People Debating Whether Keanu Reeves Is Real
6.12.2021
Today, Unreal Engine released an extremely short teaser trailer for its own “boundary-pushing cinematic and real-time tech demo,” The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience.

Halo Infinite's Ridiculous Physics Are Just Like The Old Games
6.12.2021
You can do a whole lot in Halo Infinite. You can get completely lost in forests on a derelict alien space station. You can mow down hordes of religious aliens with a kit of futuristic weapons and gadgets. You can also, apparently, fly halfway across the map, thanks to a newly discovered exploit...
