The second-ever EGX Berlin wasn’t short on big names. Cyberpunk 2077, Doom Eternal, and Final Fantasy VII Remake were all on display. Hideo Kojima even turned up to talk Death Stranding. But the true gems of the European game fair are the indie games. EGX Berlin was once more full of smaller games with intriguing ideas, and we’ve rounded up the cream of the crop right here. Let’s talk about Cloudpunk, Empires of the Undergrowth, Inkulinati, Curious Expedition 2, and Lost Ember....

FromSoftware RPGs have always featured spellcasting and sorcery, but if you like magic-style builds then Elden Ring takes things to a whole new level. There’s a huge range of different spells and incantations, as well as all manner of different staffs, seals, and magical outfits to wear. Also, various accessories that enhance your character’s abilities in unique ways. Some of them, however, aren’t easy to get hold of — especially when they are a part of complex questlines....

In September 2019, Elon Musk began launching a massive internet constellation into Lower Earth Orbit. The 42,000-satellite program Starlink intends to connect people in some of the remote places around the world. © 514067857/Shutterstock.com These internet satellites function on the 12 GHz waveband, a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that quickly sends information from space. However, this is only one way we use light waves daily. Continue reading to learn more about the electromagnetic spectrum and how it’s applied today....

Who could have possibly guessed that the Battle Royale champion, Fortnite, makes mountains of money for Epic Games? Oh, right, anyone could have. I mean, at this point, Fortnite is essentially a household name. In fact, a new financial report from TechCrunch has come out, which states that Epic Games has made over $3 billion in profits this year alone. And, out of that staggeringly high dollar amount, the vast majority of it comes from Fortnite....

Unveiled late last year, Haunted Chocolatier is a brand new game from Eric Barone, AKA ConcernedApe, who’s well-known for developing and releasing Stardew Valley. This game also features a beautiful pixel art aesthetic similar to what we saw in Stardew Valley, and will task the player with running a chocolatier while dealing with various supernatural elements as well. In a livestreamed interview with Reason Studios, Barone revealed a brand new track from the game, titled Bee Boss....

Another week, another brand new location gets introduced in Marvel Snap. This comes right off the heels of the latest balance patch, which saw a rather questionable nerf to Mr. Negative, who had been dominating the meta before then. Negative got nerfed from a 4-cost, 4-power card to a 4-cost, 1-power card. With the new Featured Location, though, that’s not gonna matter. The new location is called The Peak, and it reverses the cost and power of all the cards in your hand....

Despite being on many prediction lists for E3 every summer, it has been years since gamers had the chance to return to the world of Fable. The community may not still be waiting for an official return to the popular franchise, but one incredibly talented environmental artist has taken matters into their own hands to see what Fable would look like running in a modern gaming engine. Marci Nyiri has used their skills to recreate the iconic Chapel of Skorm from Fable: The Lost Chapters in Unreal Engine 4....

Far Cry 5 is starting to unlock in time for launch and to celebrate Ubisoft fired out this launch trailer which is packed with guns, explosions, and of course nutjob cultists. So far the game has been reviewing reasonably well but then again it’s Far Cry and you kind of know what to expect. Plenty of action and a game world to romp around in and simply have some fun.

Today Bandai Namco released another trailer about one of the characters that are featured in the fighting game JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. We take a good look at Father Enrico Pucchi, or Pucci, depending on which version of the name you prefer, DIO’s fanatical follower and antagonist of Stone Ocean. Of course, the trailer also showcases his stand, Whitesnake, or more specifically its first form. You can check it out below....

FIFA 16 is the week’s No.1 video game, holding on at the top despite a 74 per cent drop in sales week-on-week. EA’s sports franchise even managed to outpace the launch sales of LEGO Dimensions, which itself comfortably became the year’s biggest Toys to Life launch – ahead of both Disney Infinity 3.0 and Skylanders Superchargers. LEGO may be the year’s biggest Toys to Life launch, but in terms of the sector as a whole it becomes the third best launch behind Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Swap Force....

Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, best known in the football world for purchasing small Welsh club Wrexham AFC, have been discovered in a FIFA 23 Easter egg. Smaller clubs like Wrexham aren’t normally featured in FIFA, but the club entered the game in FIFA 22 in the “Rest of the World” category, likely due to the novelty of Reynolds and McElhenney being the new owners. Wrexham then returned for FIFA 23, only this time, players have found some trash talk from Reynolds and McElhenney from the benches....

Road to the Knockouts returns for FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and this year’s squad of dynamic cards, which can be upgraded based on their team’s real-life performances, is full of players that are great for the gameplay meta and great for trading. Some of these cards have fantastic boosts straight out of the gate, but if their teams can tot up some wins in real life, let alone qualify for the knockout stages, then they get really spicy....

We are always looking for the best players when playing, and EA has released FIFA World Cup items, including new player cards for players participating in the World Cup. You will find these players on Purple cards that expire on January 4th, 2023, after the World Cup. These new cards do not have their club sides on the card at all, so they only link with other players from their nation....

As if fans of Final Fantasy VII Remake weren’t excited enough for the release of the demo, their excitement is sure to grow even more since it has been officially confirmed that the game has gone gold. The information comes from Japanese website 4Gamer in which it talked with director Tetsuya Nomura about the game’s development and what players can expect once the full game comes out. Specifically, when asked about the development process, Nomura admitted that Final Fantasy VII Remake does need a bit more “last quality improvements,” but has already gone gold....

Growing up, side-scrolling beat ’em ups were a large part of my life. They kept me out of trouble, helped me deal with stress, and most of all, they were just plain fun. So being able to see the Final Fight franchise come to XBLA is a very exciting prospect, especially when we can all play it starting April 14 for 800 MS and April 15 on PSN for $9.99....

The first major update for Disney Dreamlight Valley is now live, bringing with it Lion King villain Scar and a new underground mine area in your village’s Sunlit Plateau area. Scar’s arrival lets you hang out with the British-voiced baddie and extend Dreamlight’s overall narrative - which has you trying to puzzle out why its eponymous valley has fallen into ruin. To get started with Scar, you’ll just need to head over to the giant skull in the elephant graveyard - which has now opened up to reveal a fresh lair....

The Division 2 released its first eight-player raid three days ago, which was then completed on PC within five hours of its launch. Three days later, the raid has now been completed on both PS4 and Xbox One. This comes as a relief to players on consoles who were expressing frustration at the seemingly unconquerable content. For their part, there can be no denying that there is some tuning needed to account for such a significant discrepancy between the two ways to play, otherwise, the message appears to be that playing on PC is the superior choice if one wishes to advance in the content of the game....

Does Dead by Daylight have bots? is a genuine question many ask because of the asymmetrical nature of the game. Indeed, Behaviour Interactive’s latest is kind of a horror survival game that pits a killer against four survivors. To escape the arena, the four survivors need to power up five generators scattered around the map. Powering up all five generators will open the exit gates, letting you escape. The killer (or killers, if you’re playing The Twins) must stop the survivors from doing so and make sure that they have no way of escaping....
