| JEMC said: Ok, I admit I didn't believe that Konami would bring MGS to PC. I was wrong. Now the question will be if the game (and the ports) are worth buying or not. |
Yee of little faith, after Rising did well it was a shoe in that they would bring it over IMO. Hopefull Silent Hills comes over as well, tho there is a chance that is PS4 exclusive I guess.
It's time to meet Runemaster: a tactical Viking RPG from the makers of Crusader Kings
Our Rob has long said that Europa Universalis IV played like an RPG in which you rolled as a country. Paradox Development Studio seem to have taken that observation to heart, graduating from grand strategy to straight-up fantasy roleplaying in Runemaster.
Fine-tune the hair on your chinny-chin-chin in The Sims 4 Create-a-Sim demo
There’ll be an aspect of The Sims you like best. Perhaps it’s building houses held up only by glass panes and willpower. Or maybe it’s building people.
That’s what the Create-a-Sim demo for The Sims 4 is all about - designing humans. Deciding on the cut of their jibs, deigning to pick their outfits, and determining their fatal flaws.
Hearthstone's Construct Quarter now open to Curse of Naxxramas players
The Curse of Naxxramas isn’t one of those flash, bang, now-you’re-a-frog hexes. It’s more of a slow-burn spell, unfolding its horrors week-by-week to Hearthstone players.
This week’s wing is the Construct Quarter: a gunge-powered laboratory patrolled by stitched-together new minions.
Assassin's Creed: Unity microtransactions won't "compromise" its Parisian parkour fun
Assassin’s Creed has long been subject to the trends on the peripheral of big budget action games. Black Flag had a companion app and progress-quickening bundles available on its store - but Unity won’t travel any deeper down the microtransaction hole.
Warlords of Draenor cinematic revealed; expansion launches on November 13th

Galactic Civilizations III beta: now it's getting fun
Galactic Civilizations III, Stardock's ginormous 4X flagship, has been in Early Access since March. Today it makes the move into beta. Starting up a game immediately evokes memories of its predecessor. At first, it looks, if not identical, at least so similar that it feels like coming back to Galactic Civilizations II. That’s not a bad thing, and it’s by design.
“I’m hoping people will play GalCiv 3 beta and they’ll get the same feeling as GalCiv 2 and then they can go ‘wow this is going to be even better when it’s done’,” lead designer Paul Boyer told me earlier this week.
But peeling back that familiar surface reveals a game that is very much new. So new it’s not yet finished, and there are still missing features - most coming in later beta phases - like diplomacy, but also new because Stardock have managed to make some significant changes to the formula. And it looks like it’s paying off.
Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade trailer promises a lot of war, a whole planet of it
In the 41st millenium, diplomacy is saying hello before you shoot an alien in the face. Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade won’t be an MMO where you can avoid conflict, with its five warring factions including the Space Marines and the Tyranids.
Even the planet it takes place on, Arkhona, is in a constant state of war. But it’s got mysteries and secrets, apparently, which is a good enough reason as any other to fight over it with guns and dark magic.
Developer Behaviour Interactive has put together a trailer to get you up to speed on the many activities (mainly killing aliens, though) you can get up to on your holiday in warn-torn Arkhona.
Diablo 3 patch 2.1.0 introduces the golden home of the Treasure Goblins: the Vault
Diablo III’s craven, scurrying Treasure Goblins are enigmatic wee beasties. They appear, with their sacks of loot, and are quick to disappear through portals if they aren’t killed and their wealth stolen. Where do they go when they leap through those portals? Is there a land filled with goblins and gold on the other side?
Patch 2.1.0 finally reveals what is through the portal: the Vault.
