Board games for couples occupy a special niche in the wider canon of the best board games . As soon as you rise above that number, you create various design problems around balance and turn order that need to be considered. In a fighting game, for example, it allows two players to gang up on a third. Two-player board games thus have a particular purity of purpose that can make them particularly fun to play: there’s a reason so many classic board games like Chess and Go are designed for two. It also makes them a particular joy to share with that special someone, whoever they might be.

In a statement made today on the Magic: The Gathering website , Wizards of the Coast has reaffirmed its anti-artificial intelligence policy, elaborating upon comments they made on X (formerly Twitter). The statements come after fans began to speculate that some of the art teased for the 2024 Player's Handbook planned for next year relied on AI, due to some believing that an image of a dwarf was missing one of his arms . This image, combined with layoffs at Wizards earlier this year which included some artists and a job listing for a "touch up artist," led some to speculate the company had plans to replace some of their artists with AI tools. Wizards responded to the questions about the Player's Handbook art on X yesterday, writing, "We confirmed with the artist that no generative AI was used, which is consisteny with our artist guidelines restricting it. https://t.co/tf7SRfmAUN pic.twitter.com/3gjWhwyN8Z — D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond) December 18, 2023 ...

Interesting, isn't it, that the first new Silent Hill project for a decade isn't even set in Silent Hill. More interestingly still, it's not even a game – at least, not in the traditional sense. It's a curious decision, and kind of gutsy, too, given the clamor for the neglected horror series. There are loads of things we recognize from that spooky little resort town – there's the signature fog, monsters, a weird cult, and a whole cast of people with haunted pasts – but if you were hoping that Silent Hill: Ascension was ringing in the next generation of great Silent Hill adventures, you may have a little longer to wait. To be fair, the animated interactive series – available via a mobile app, a website, and as a non-interactive series on streaming services like Sony Pictures Core – has just wrapped up for the holidays, but there are still several months to go, so we've yet to discover its final twists. We don't yet know if the titular town is going to mak...

Avatar made a big splash when it hit screens in late 2009, and Ubisoft Massive is aiming to continue the momentum of its sequel, The Way of Water, with the new open-world action-adventure game Frontiers of Pandora. A clear showcase for both PC hardware and Ubisoft’s own Snowdrop engine, the game is already proving to be both a visual treat and rather demanding to run, so let’s open Pandora’s box and see what happens. A Frosty Reception Ubisoft Massive’s Snowdrop Engine was a big hit back in 2013 with its impressive E3 demo for The Division. Although that game never quite hit those heights, it was a technical pioneer on the eighth-gen consoles and PC, offering full time of day, dynamic precomputed irradiance, dynamic weather, dense volumetrics, complex AI, and online integration. Snowdrop has evolved over the years, and although many of those core elements have remained, the team has embraced the current generation with new features as well. The current big-ticket item is ray trac...
