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.

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader – How Did it Take This Long to Get a Warhammer CRPG?

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.

According to the Director's Guild of Canada, The Last Of Us HBO series is set to film in Calgary from July 5, 2021 to June 8, 2022. As reported by CBC.ca, Calgary's union for film and stage technicians - the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE 212) - also confirms that the series is set to begin production this July. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/20/the-last-of-us-hbo-series-will-cover-the-first-game"] The Last of Us HBO series will star The Mandalorian's Pedro Pascal as Joel and Game of Thrones' Bella Ramsey as Ellie. The first season is said to adapt much from the original game from 2013, but some episodes will "deviate greatly" from its events. This series based on The Last of Us will be written and produced by Naughty Dog's Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl's Craig Mazin. The Last of Us is just one of the 10 shows and movie currently in development based on PlayStation games. The recent announcement of a film based on Ghost of Tsushima adds to that list that already includes Uncharted and Twisted Metal.
