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.

The Call of Duty Endowment, the non-profit charity that helps military veterans, is holding an in-game event in Call of Duty: Warzone in order to raise money to support veteran medics and hospital corpsmen as part of Military Appreciation Month. Additionally, a new DLC pack for Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is also being sold to raise funds for the cause. The event is The Revival Challenge. Starting today, April 30, and running to May 9, reviving five people in Warzone will unlock a new Call of Duty Endowment calling card. Should a million players unlock this card, a double-XP day will be held for all Warzone players. Additionally, for every Revival Challenge completed, Activision Blizzard has pledged to donate $1 to the charity, up to $1,000,000. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/21/call-of-duty-warzone-destruction-of-verdansk-event-gameplay"] In the store for both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone will be the Call of Duty Endowment Battle Doc Pack, containing skins and medic-themed trinkets. These have been created in partnership with retired Army Veteran Combat Medic Timothy Hobbs Jr., and all net proceeds from the pack sales goes to the Endowment. The aim is to raise $2,000,000 from these packs. Finally, a new connecting screen for Warzone will be dedicated to the Endowment and Military Appreciation Month, and will display for the first ten days of May.
For 2021, Call of Duty Endowment’s focus for Military Appreciation Month is veteran medics and corpsmen, who have difficulty finding civilian jobs in medical fields despite having experience and training from their time in the forces. Money raised during the #CODEMedicalHeroes campaign will go towards helping “highlight the immensely qualified veterans who right now have the skills necessary to fill these positions.” For more on Call of Duty, take a look at our stories detailing that Toys for Bob is now developing Warzone, and that main studio Raven is currently working on a glitch fix for the game’s new map, Verdansk ‘84.
