Summary When playingCult of the Lamb, it’s easy to get caught up in the rogue-lite combat and sometimes overlook your cult itself, but building up your small army of cultists is a massive part of what makes this game stand out. Now, with the Unholy Alliance update, amongst plenty of other changes, we’ve got a handful of new follower traits that will change how your cult acts. So what are all these follower traits, what should you keep an eye out for, and what should you try and weed out?...

Summary Roguelikes, roguelites, traditional roguelikes… there are plenty of ways to refer to run-based games with procedurally generated floors or dungeons. Whether they are hack-and-slash like Hades, turn-based likePokemonMystery Dungeon, or a black screen with numbers and letters like the original Rogue, as long as there are random level designs, you can probably call them roguelikes. Even though they can come in all different shapes and sizes, by traditional standards, roguelikes should be turn-based....

Summary Elden Ring’s Shadow of The ErdtreeDLC brings with it heaps of new enemies, bosses, armor, spells, places to explore, and of course, weapons to find and try out. The downside, however, is that many of the weapons added are locked behind one or more required bosses, which can take a while to beat. If you’d rather explore, farm specific enemies, defeat minibosses, or complete minor questlines to test out early-game weapons, that’s completely valid, and you’re in the right place....

Summary Borderlandsis finally in theaters across the globe and has managed to remind everyone, after a few years of many excellent movies and TV shows, that video game adaptations can still be very bad. It’s beenthoroughly torn to shreds on social media by both critics and fans, criticized for its painfully unfunny take on the game series, and also managed to bomb pretty hard at the box office too. In fact, the amount of money that Borderlands has made in comparison to its whopping $115 million budget has been a pretty constant source of ridicule over the past few days, with the moviehaving made just $8....

Summary TheBorderlandsmovie is now a little over 24 hours from its advanced screenings. Themarketing machine is in full swingas Gearbox and Lionsgate attempt to put bums in seats ahead of the first movie in the sci-fi franchise. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be working, as we’ve analyzed 50 advanced screenings from 25 of the United States' biggest movie theaters, and it’s not looking good. Tickets Are Struggling To Sell For Opening Night The lead-up to the Borderlands movie hasn’t been great....

Summary It’s been four years since the release ofThe Last Of Us Part 2and it’s almost certainly going to be at least that long again, but in reality probably even longer, until we get Part 3. There’s otherThe Last Of Usstuff to do while we wait though, including playing The Last Of Us Part 1, a remake of the original, and right now Verizon customers can pick up a copy onPS5for just $17....

Summary With tabletop roleplaying games becoming more and more popular as the years go by, it’s easy to find the games that are rule-lite,easy to newcomers, or just flashy enough to catch your eye early on. But, what about the other TTRPGs? The ones that require you to read entire tomes, where charts and tables are the mainstay, or that are just so brutal that your characters have no chance of surviving?...

ThePokemon TCGis full of fantastic Pokemon to collect, no matter which one captures your attention. Legendary Pokemon like Entei boast valuable cards fromsome of the most valuable vintage sets. This Fire-type Pokemon was the star of Pokemon 3: The Movie, the moment it captured the hearts of thousands of trainers across the globe. While Entei doesn’t boast the same value that you may find inthe most expensive Pikachu cards ever, Entei’s collection of top cards still boasts some beautiful banger hits....

Summary The originalMagic: The Gatheringset, Limited Edition Alpha, is where the wildly successful tabletop game got started. Colloquially known as Alpha, this set has some incredibly powerful cards, combined with the fact that it had a limited printing, and is more than 30 years old, makes just about every card from this set cost a pretty penny. Since many of Alpha’s most valuable Magic cards are made through private sales with collectors, it can be difficult to gather accurate data on values....

It’s long been alleged thatDragon Age: The Veilguardwas initially conceptualised as a live-service multiplayer game akin toBioWare’s previous gameAnthem, but after Anthem flopped and the single-playerStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Orderexceeded expectations,the multiplayer model was scrapped. We now know BioWare’s side of the story, which is that multiplayer was considered in pre-production, butthe studio scrapped the ideabecause it wouldn’t allow its developers to “return to our roots” and focus on “amazing storytelling”....

You wouldn’t think so today, but vampires were once a pillar of popular gaming. When I grew up in the ‘90s (yes, my back hurts) Castlevania was just hitting its stride, and by 1997’s Symphony of the Night, it had cemented itself as a legendary franchise. We had the confusingly-named Legacy of Kain series, which moved quickly from Blood Omen to Soul Reaver 2, then gave way to the sexier B-movie stylings of BloodRayne....

Quick Links During the first few hours of playingBlack Myth: Wukong, the game makes it clear that you’ll encounter bosses more frequently than in a typical action RPG. While the main story includes plenty of bosses, there are also numerous optional, hidden, and secret bosses that you can find by exploring and solving certain puzzles. After reaching Chapter Two, you’ll come across a strange head with yellow glowing eyes, and you may wonder what its purpose is....

Quick Links Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddessis a game that is undying committed to its own direction. There are no concessions in how it embraces Japanese culture and Buddhist mythology, or in how it combines action with Tower Defence. That same commitment also applies to some of its more unconventional mechanics. Sweets! They are painstakingly detailed collectibles you will gain as you travel across Mt. Kafuku. you’re able to give them to Yoshiro as a little treat at bases, as thanks for her great work....
