Developers Croteam and 2×2 Games have released a beta patch for Unity of Command 2 that adds a standalone scenario for playing the Battle of the Bulge as the Axis powers. to the game, allowing players to take on the command of German forces in a scenario specifically designed to be played that way for the first time. While fans on Steam Workshop have already hacked together scenarios as the German army, this is the first signal of the inevitable full-fledged Western Front German campaign for UoC

Ubisoft has filed a lawsuit against a website allegedly selling a DDoS service that’s been used against Rainbow Six Siege servers. The SNG.ONE website sells subscriptions, ranging from around €150 to €500 and payable only by Bitcoin of course, which allow purchasers to choose from a variety of targets. While SNG.ONE currently advertizes itself as a service for testing your own firewalls against attack, Ubiosft’s suit alleges that its owners also ran r6s.support, which targeted Siege specifically

Part of what’s interesting about virtual reality is its ability to put you in the kind of bizarre spaces M.C. But it’s also cool to see ordinary places recreated with fidelity, especially when you can then walk through that space with a VR headset on as Greg Madison does with a wireless Oculus Quest after mapping his apartment in VR. There’s even a virtual display of sheet music over his keyboard, and a TV projected onto his TV if you want to get really meta. As Madison explains in the comments,

343 Industries is planning to start the first public test for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary next month, according to an update on the forums. If you get in, you’ll have limited access to certain areas, much like last year’s tests for Halo Reach. Combat Evolved is a slightly less exciting prospect, but only because it’s one of the few entries in the series that we’ve actually been able to play on PC. If you already tested Halo Reach, you should already be set up. If you don’t get into the firs

Temtem, the upcoming creature-collecting RPG published by Humble Bundle, has released a new trailer with a look at what it’ll be like to play the game. The trailer outlines how Temtem breeding works, noting that it’s a “more intense” system for players, emphasizing risk vs. reward and gaining unique abilities only available via the breeding system. The creatures available in the end zone will change every week—in fact, the trailer says it will feature “new Temtem every week.” Anyways, this remin

CIG dispute this, saying the GLA allowed it to use Cryengine for both, that Squadron 42 is accessed via the same launcher as Star Citizen anyway, and also that it’s switched to Amazon’s Lumberyard engine rather than Cryengine rendering the whole thing baseless. Crytek richly deserves having its keys taken away for all time, so that CIG can conduct responsible business without further interference from Crytek or its series of lawyers.” The document also accuses Crytek of “falsely claiming that CI

Remember Sokpop Collective , those wacky indies who make multiple small games a month? That’s 48 new games in a single day. That’s not actually very impressive, because all the games were already finished. What is actually very impressive is that the games are full-featured: Achievements, trailers, etc. You can check out the official spiel on Sokpop at their website , or go check out their now rather extensive Steam developer page.

Writing for us last year, Rick Lane declared that Not every Ubisoft game needs to be a Ubisoft game. The similarities between every Ubisoft open-world game were blamed for disappointing sales of Breakpoint and The Division 2, two of Ubisoft’s more significant 2019 releases. According to an exclusive published by VGC, the company’s editorial team are being revamped in an effort to differentiate Ubisoft’s future games. A reorganization and expansion of the editorial team is Ubisoft’s proposed solu

VR fantasy slash-em-up Blade and Sorcery has a sweet new mod that crams in 95 more weapons, many with unique magical effects new to the game. It’s a pretty hefty addition since with physics simulation at the heart of the game it’s the weapons and how they’re used that really make Blade and Sorcery special. There are a few purely new weapons in this—big heavy fantasy swords and the like. This is absolutely the kind of abuse that a fully physics-driven game with mod support demands and I am for it

Claire Murdoch, mental health director of England’s National Health Service (NHS), has reignited the loot box controversy with a report claiming they push young people into “under the radar” gambling. “Frankly no company should be setting kids up for addiction by teaching them to gamble on the content of these loot boxes”, she said. “No firm should sell to children loot box games with this element of chance, so yes those sales should end.” Loot boxes aren’t currently regulated by England’s Gambl

What do you think: Which RTS series deserves a comeback? PS: Andy, if someone was going to make a new Dune game, I say it should be based on Jodorowsky’s Dune. Warlords Battlecry(Image credit: Enlight)Jody Macgregor: Warlords was a classic series of turn-based strategy games that dated back to 1990. Other RTS games came around to similar ideas, but the Battlecry games did it right first time. Its one of the few RTS games that i ACTUALLY enjoyed.

First…What is a RAM Disk? Also called a RAM drive, a RAM disk is a virtual storage drive that you can create in Windows with 3rd-party software. You have to copy all the important data from your RAM disk to your actual SSD or HDD before turning off your machine or else everything on the RAM disk gets erased. After loading Windows, you have to load the RAM disk utility and then copy over all the files you want on fast storage to the RAM drive. RAM Disks are really only ideal if you’re using a p

It’s taken all of 24 hours for modders to start injecting memes into Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, the new fighting game/RPG retelling Goku’s story for the nth time. Dragon Ball FighterZ had some excellent silly character swap mods, like Sonic the Hedgehog, and Kakarot’s getting a similarly memey treatment. Beatz is also working on a Shaggy mod, which will perhaps soothe the injustice of Shaggy not becoming a DLC character in Mortal Kombat 11. (Shaggy having Dragon Ball powers was a whole thing last y

The acronym isn’t quite right, but the reference to Left 4 Dead 3 was obvious. However accurate or inaccurate those predictions prove to be, we can say for sure that the one about Left 4 Dead 3 is way off the mark. We did briefly explore some Left 4 Dead next opportunities a few years ago. But we are absolutely not working on anything L4D related now, and haven’t for years,” Valve said in a statement sent to IGN. But if leaks and rumors are your thing, we’ve got a roundup of all the Left 4 Dead

Possibly the biggest pop-culture touchstone to emerge from The Witcher on Netflix isn’t a battle or a bathtub, but a ballad. Toss a Coin to Your Witcher has inspired memes, at least one mod, and some remarkable covers across a broad range of styles. “So when he sings ‘Toss a Coin To Your Witcher,’ musically you can see that journey that he goes through from the tavern to becoming the rockstar of the continent.” Ostinelli and Belousova’s rap rendition of Toss a Coin to Your Witcher remains unrele

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana came to PC in April 2018, but despite a multi-month delay leading up to that release it was in rough shape when it arrived. Today a major new update went live, courtesy of Peter “Durante” Thoman, and this one promises to go a lot farther than the others, with improvements to graphics, performance, and overall stability, plus the addition of an experimental two-player co-op mode. The new Ys 8: Lacrimosa of Dana update is live now. SP is sharedSecond player does not rece

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’s manga spin-off is getting a complete published edition this February. Sekiro: Side Story of Hanbei the Undying initially began last May as Sekiro Gaiden: Shinazu Hanbei, and followed the story of Hanbei Undying, a friendly, immortal NPC in the game that let you practice combat against him in a risk-free environment. Now it’s being released as a complete edition on February 27 in Japan. As US Gamer points out, the manga hasn’t been officially translated into English or

According to an interview from Android Police with Google Chrome OS Director of Product Management Kan Liu, Google is working to bring native Steam support to Chrome OS devices, and Valve might be helping to make it happen. Up until now, official support for Steam on Chrome OS has been non-existent. On Google’s side, Liu notes that games are the most popular apps downloaded for Chrome OS devices and having a major storefront like Steam running natively on it would only help further bolster Googl

Terrifying competitive monster-hunter Hunt: Showdown has outlined some of its post-launch support, among which includes a much-requested solo mode, a new map and special timed events. However, there are still some tasty things incoming for PC players that make returning to the monster-infested bayou worthwhile. The most notable new addition is a solo PvE mode. While at its core Hunt is a multiplayer battle royale game, it’s the NPC monsters that really give it character. If you’ve not yet played

Are you looking for a speedy gaming monitor with Freesync? Walmart has got a deal on a 25″ HP 25MX gaming monitor for $155. This 25-inch gaming monitor retails around $329, but we’ve seen the price drop to just under $200 before shooting back up last month at different retailers. The HP 25MX uses a Full HD (1080p) TN display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time—a good monitor if you hop between PC and console gaming. The HP 25MX uses diffused ambient lighting to help with eye-fatigue
