Hardcore FPS immediately becomes Steam top seller as devs list '10 reasons not to buy' it
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/hardcore-fps-immediately-becomes-steam-top-seller-as-devs-list-10-reasons-not-to-buy-it/
You know a developer is confident in the game it's making when it's willing to list all of the reasons you might not want to buy it. That's the thrust of the latest dev log for Wardogs, the tactical milsim FPS coming to early access in September.
Wardogs has built up a lot of buzz this year, joining Steam's top-wishlisted games and rising ever since. Now it's up for pre-order, and it's immediately become Steam's top-selling premium game. I played a handful of hours in a closed playtest this past weekend and it totally won me over—this thing might be special.
But developer Bulkhead also knows Wardogs won't be for everyone—which is, coincidentally, one of the "10 reasons NOT to buy" Wardogs, according to the studio. The whole thing is worth a watch, but here's a few of the more interesting bullet points with a relevant quote from the devs.

Unofficial PC Port of Pokemon Gold Released With 3D Voxel Support
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/unofficial-pc-port-of-pokemon-gold-released-with-3d-voxel-support/
Developer bryanthaboi has released a new version of gen1recomp that adds support for Pokemon Gold. This means that we now have an unofficial PC port of this Game Boy Color Pokemon game. Not only that, but it also has 3D voxel support.
Right now, gen1recomp has support for four Pokemon games. These are Pokemon Red, Pokemon Blue, Pokemon Yellow, and Pokemon Gold.
To enable the 3D voxels, once you are in-game, you’ll have to press “3”. Then you can use “4” to zoom through every level. Gen1Recomp also has Save/Load functionalities. You can find all of these settings in the Options menu, too.
My guess is that we’ll soon get support for Pokemon Silver, too. Honestly, I expect all the classic Pokemon games to be supported by gen1recomp. So, this recomp will be a dream come true for all PC Pokemon fans.
You can go ahead and download the latest version of gen1recomp from this link. To play the four Pokemon games I mentioned above on PC, you will need their US ROM files. Needless to say, we won’t share any download links to the ROM files. You’ll have to find them yourselves.

Elden Ring Mod Adds a Brand-New Tower of Judgment Challenge Dungeon
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/elden-ring-mod-adds-a-brand-new-tower-of-judgment-challenge-dungeon/
NexusMods member ‘q1332104840’ has uploaded a new mod for Elden Ring that adds a brand-new, custom-designed “Tower of Judgment” challenge dungeon to the Lands Between. This mod adds new free content to Elden Ring. So, if you’re currently replaying it, I suggest taking a look at it.
Going into more detail, the Tower of Judgment mod features new enemies, unique boss fights, and around 200 battle levels. The custom dungeon also adds many new game files. Because of this, players with low-end PCs may see some frame drops in the tower area.
The mod is designed for offline play only. You should also avoid using it with other major gameplay overhaul mods. Doing so may cause script conflicts that can break the new dungeon’s systems.
You can go ahead and download the mod from here. At the end of the article, you can also find a video for it.
For what it’s worth, I haven’t tested this mod. I also see that the video has Japanese text. So, I don’t know whether or not there is English text. I assume there is, as it was uploaded on NexusMods. But hey, you never know.
