Weird West Review

-
In this alternate universe, the West was won by trying a bunch of ideas so crazy they just might work… and if they don’t, hitting the quick-load button to revert to an earlier save and trying something even crazier until you pull it off. Thanks to that freedom to experiment with its world as you explore, Weird West is one of those games that feels like a stealth and combat playground even as it tells five mostly serious, well-written stories with interesting decisions throughout and a thoughtful conclusion. And with so much ground to cover and replayability to investigate, it’s well worth putting up with some quirks and underwhelming loot. What ties Weird West’s plot together is a group of shadowy figures using a magical brand to force your character’s consciousness into the bodies of various unsuspecting people. It’s a clever play on the way so many games have us take control of a character who already exists in that world but still need to bring us up to speed on their identity: h...

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

-
It’s truly bizarre that across the nearly 30 years of Warhammer video games, we haven’t had a single one that attempted to channel the tabletop Warhammer experience by utilizing the genre that feels best suited to do so: CRPGs. But that’s all about to change, as Pathfinder developer Owlcats has been cooking up something to fill this void. During an extensive hands-off demo of Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, I checked out its extremely chunky turn-based combat system, drowned in its plethora of dialogue options and social skill checks, and nodded approvingly at its lovingly faithful depiction of Warhammer’s morbid universe. While it’s still very early, so far this CRPG is shaping up to be everything I’ve wanted from a Warhammer video game. If you’ve ever played (or even glanced at) a game of Warhammer 40K, then you probably know it’s designed for a hyper-specific kind of nerd who loves calculations, large-scale drama, and an incredibly detailed world one could easily get lost in.

Call Of Duty 2020: Alleged Alpha Listing Appears On Microsoft Store

-
A listing for an alleged alpha version of Call of Duty 2020 has appeared on the Microsoft Store. You can check out the listing for The Red Door here, a game listed as a "Shooter" created by Activision. The description for the game reads: "There is more than one truth. If you go looking for answers, be ready to question everything and accept that nothing will ever be the same. The Red Door awaits, do you dare step through it?" The game also has an approximate size of 81.65 GB, and is rated Mature. As noted by VG247 we've seen The Red Door before, when it appeared on the PS4 Database website with a Content ID that contained the string "COD2020." It's not clear what exactly is going on here, but it could be Activision sharing in-development builds of the game, a practice that is common in the games industry - last month we saw an early build of Gods and Monsters leak onto Google Stadia.  Call of Duty news account Modern Warzone tweeted today that they had received a "threatening email" from Activision after using the image from The Red Door listing, which suggests that there is some credibility behind this leak, and Activision's control over it. Back in May, a series of reports suggested that this year's COD game was titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and that the game would return the series to the late 20th-century historical setting it had previously inhabited. All of this suggests that Activision is raring up to reveal this year's Call of Duty game, so watch this space for more news on that front.
