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.

John Wick Writer to Pen Dungeons & Dragons Live-Action Series

-
John Wick creator and writer, Derek Kolstad, is set to write and develop a pitch for a live-action Dungeons & Dragons series. This news comes by way of The Hollywood Reporter that states Kolstad is penning the series for Paramount and Hasbro's entertainment studio, eOne, which is the same studio developing a Dungeons & Dragons movie starring Chris Pine. Kolstad's series isn't the only series in the works as eONe is already working with and looking for more writers to pen multiple projects set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, according to the report. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=whats-in-beadle-grimms-legendary-edition-of-curse-of-strahd&captions=true"] No plot details were given for this series, but it will be live-action and it will be the first official Dungeons & Dragons TV show since the animated television series, Dungeons & Dragons, which ran from 1983 to 1985. Kolstad not only created the character of John Wick, but he wrote the first John Wick movie and worked on the two sequels in the series. He's also a writer on Marvel's upcoming The Falcon and the Winter Soldier Disney Plus series. In 2019, it was revealed that Kolstad was also working on a feature film set on the video game franchise, Just Cause, and that he would be the screenwriter for the movie. While little is known about this series, it's safe to say that Kolstad has a lot of source material to pull from considering the breadth of Dungeons & Dragons content in the multiple decades it has been around.

Be sure to check out this story about the Dungeons & Dragons movie starring Chris Pine coming in 2022 after that and then check out these shots of the Beadle & Grimm's Curse of Strahd: Legendary Edition set recently revealed.
