Sniper Elite: The Board Game Review

Image
Once upon a time, a lone American sniper single-handedly won the Second World War. At least that’s the case if you’ve played any of the Sniper Elite series of video games. Now, Rebellion has bought its digital IP to the tabletop so that you, too, can guide a single super-powered stealth sniper to victory against three squads of German defenders ( see it at Amazon ). Or this time, in order to ensure it’s a competitive game, the Germans might actually win. What’s in the Box While there’s no ray-tracing or gory kill-cams in the transition to tabletop, you do get 10 ink-washed military miniatures to play with instead, and they’re still excellent eye candy. Nine slot into three sets of colored bases to represent German squads, each with an officer. The other is the sniper himself for the times he’s visible on the board. They’re set up on a board that shows a submarine pen on one side and a launching facility on the other. The maps are well-drawn with clear walls, elevation and iconogr...

$20K Bounty Is Being Offered To Anyone Who Can Complete Wild Halo 2 Challenge

Just the term "LASO" sends chills down even the most hardened Halo player's spine. The term refers to completing a Halo campaign on its hardest difficulty — Legendary — with all of the gameplay-modifying Skulls turned on (LASO standing for L egendary A ll S kulls O n). If that doesn't sound hard enough as it is, how about completing the entire LASO run with zero deaths? That's what content creator Charlie ‘Cr1tikal’ White is challenging the Halo community to complete. In a YouTube video first spotted by PCGamesN , he offered the first player to finish a Halo 2 Anniversary LASO run with zero deaths a $20,000 prize. Besides the seemingly impossible task of a one-life LASO run, Halo 2 is also widely recognized as the most difficult Legendary campaign in the franchise. $20,000 doesn't seem like enough. Cr1tikal first announced the challenge a couple weeks ago, with a $5,000 prize attached. As the days went by with no takers, he quadrupled the prize to try an...

FIFA 23: Sam Kerr to Become Series' First Female Cover Star Internationally

Australian soccer player Sam Kerr will be the first female athlete to grace an international FIFA cover after EA announced she will feature on FIFA 23's Ultimate Edition, alongside France's Kylian Mbappé. The Chelsea forward will also be the sole star on the game's standard edition in her home country of Australia, as well as New Zealand - that cover will also be available as an Amazon exclusive internationally. Paris Saint-Germain star Mbappé will feature on the standard edition in other territories. "It’s an honour and a dream come true to be on the cover of FIFA 23," said Kerr.

Resident Evil Showrunner Wants to Bring Lady Dimitrescu to the Netflix Series

The showrunner of Netflix's Resident Evil series wants to introduce a live-action version of fan-favorite villain Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village if the show is renewed. Speaking to Polygon , Andrew Dabb said he wants to bring in as many iconic characters from the game series as possible, including enemies from anywhere between the first and latest entries. "Over the course of the series, I want to bring everything in," he said. "Left to my own devices, I want Lady D, I want the plant monster, I want it all. I want everything, but judiciously [and] responsibly over time." Given that the show follows two timelines (one before and one deep into the apocalypse), Dabb said he wants to explore how these video game characters would be different in each storyline, and would even like to include previous game protagonists. "The question becomes, how do people change? So there are characters we haven’t seen in quite a while: Jill Valentine and Clai...
