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.

LEGO Mario Firmware Update Makes Him Start Calling for Luigi

-
Following a firmware update this week, LEGO Mario has began calling out for his long-lost brother Luigi, who has yet to get the official LEGO treatment. As reported by Eurogamer, footage of this clever, if a bit haunting bit of marketing appeared on Twitter thanks to those like @AyliffeMakit, which shows LEGO Mario waking up from a nap and calling out for Luigi. IGN has confirmed that this does work, and it will occur if you update LEGO Mario's firmware, let him go to sleep after a minute or so, and then wake him up. It took me about 20 tries to get the Luigi call-out, so keep at it! Responding to a Facebook comment on a video about this update, LEGO said "Now that's a very creative way to get his missing brother. We did notice that LEGO Mario has started calling for him, we’re looking into it and hope to have clarity on why this is soon. Stay tuned!" This seems to all but confirm that Luigi will be joining Mario soon in LEGO form. Since its debut in 2020, LEGO has been supporting its Mario line with new expansion sets and more, and the addition of Luigi at some point should come as no surprise. This news arrives shortly after the infamous "Day Mario Died" that saw the end of the celebration of Super Mario Bros. 35th anniversary. Who knows, now that Mario is out of the way, Nintendo could be gearing up for another Year of Luigi! Obviously, we joke... unless?
