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.

Clue Board Game to Become Animated Series at Fox

-
Clue, the popular murder-mystery board game, will be turned into an animated series over at Fox, according to new reports. Deadline says Fox is working with Hasbro’s Entertainment One content studio on a new animated series based on the long-running board game. Fox-owned Bento Box will be working on the series. There are no further details on the project, but Bento Box is the animation studio behind hit series like Bob’s Burgers if that’s any indication of the direction Fox and Hasbro are looking to take with the board game adaptation. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=nominees-best-animated-tv-series-of-2019&captions=true"] Clue was first released in 1949 and it simulates a class whodunnit murder-mystery. Players take on the roles of either Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, Ms. Peacock, Ms. Scarlett, or Mr. Green and players investigate the board for clues to find out who killed Mr. Body. In 1985 a Clue movie was released starring Tim Curry. The comedy followed a similar premise and even included multiple endings with a different murderer for each. Although the Clue movie went on to become a famous bomb at the box office, it has since gained cult status. Meanwhile, Hasbro has been busy licensing its brands for films and TV. Entertainment One is overseeing a new connected Power Rangers universe across movies and television, and Risk is set for a TV adaptation from House of Cards creator Beau Willimon. A Dungeons & Dragons movie is also in the works with a former Marvel Studios alum as a producer. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a News Editor at IGN.
