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.

Ninja Returns to Twitch for Exclusive, Multi-Year Deal

-
Tyler "Ninja" Blevins is making a return to Twitch with a new exclusive, multi-year deal. Blevins left Twitch back in August of 2019 to stream exclusively on Mixer but after the Microsoft-owned Mixer shut down earlier this year, the streamer's exclusivity contract was no more. This prompted him to stream elsewhere through YouTube and Twitch. But after flirting with being a free agent, Blevins announced today that he has signed an exclusive, multi-year deal with Twitch. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ninja-career-highlights&captions=true"] "I am excited to get back to streaming full-time and connecting with my loyal fanbase," Blevins said. "I really took my time to decide which platform was best and Twitch has been very supportive throughout this process and understanding my overall career goals. In this next chapter, I'm going to make it a point to elevate and bring more eyes to underrepresented creators." Blevins said he looks forward to working with Twitch to demonstrate "how this amazing community of gamers can make a meaningful impact." Blevins will celebrate with his first post-deal stream today at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET. "We are thrilled Ninja is returning to Twitch," Twitch Senior Vice President of Content Michael Aragon said. "Tyler is an iconic force in the gaming community, and it's been amazing to see the impact he's made on the industry and broader culture. Gaming — and the people who love it — are being recognized by a broad mainstream audience now in part because of Tyler, and we know he's just getting started." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/08/ninja-starts-streaming-on-youtube-ign-news"] Blevins isn't the only Mixer-exclusive streamer that's returned to Twitch after Mixer shut down. Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek did the same just last month, and rapper Logic recently signed an exclusive deal with Twitch as well.
