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.

EA Access and Origin Access Basic to Become EA Play on August 18

-
EA Access and Origin Access subscription game services will both become known as EA Play on August 18, 2020. EA announced the news and revealed the services will get a new look as well, although we have yet to see how drastic of a change it will be. Furthermore, while Origin Access Basic will become EA Play alongside EA Access, Origin Access Premier will change to EA Play Pro. Not much will change for these services, as they will still offer access to various titles, give early access to new games, and provide a 10% discount for members. However, EA promises even more will be added in the coming months for subscribers, including "exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops for members on select titles." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/22/star-wars-squadrons-hands-on-preview-narrow-but-deep-like-the-trench-run"] If EA Play sounds familiar, it's because the company's annual live events have been previously called EA Play. Going forward, these events will be known as EA Play Live. The most recent EA Play Live showcased the first gameplay for Star Wars Squadrons, gave fans a glimpse of next-gen versions of Dragon Age, Battlefield, and Need for Speed, and revealed that a new Skate game was in the works. Alongside Star Wars Squadrons in 2020, EA fans can also look forward to Madden NFL 21 and FIFA 21, which will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on August 25 and October 9, respectively. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=madden-nfl-21-5-new-screenshots&captions=true"] Madden and FIFA will also be released on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, and while a release date hasn't been given, those who purchase current-gen versions of these games before the release of Madden 22 or FIFA 22 will be able to upgrade to the next-gen version for free.
