The Artful Escape was part of the stacked line-up of games showcased on the Annapurna Interactive livestream last night. The music-infused adventure game has been doing the rounds for years, but it now has a solid release date of September 9 on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The Artful Escape is a psychedelic, glam rock journey of a young guitarist in search of his stage persona. To get there, he’ll have to go on a rock opera trip through the cosmos to escape the shadow of his folk singer uncle, and find his own voice....

Even with endless advocacy, whether or not a disabled person will be able to play and enjoy a game is still, unfortunately, a crapshoot. There are some studios and devs that discuss their game’s accessibility publicly before the title is released, but this is still not a common practice. That’s why I’ll be here each month to discuss the best and worst in game accessibility. The beginning of 2020 has seen some hits and some tremendous misses in accessibility....

Admittedly, I’ve jumped on the Halloween bandwagon rather late this year. I’ve failed to decorate my flat with cardboard bats and fake cobwebs, and I’m still yet to go and acquire candy for any trick-or-treaters. That said, I dove into Xbox Game Pass recently to line up some games for the Halloween weekend; it appears that while the children knocking on my front door may not get any treats, I certainly have already got one with the gems that are on Game Pass right now....

This is according to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, who broke the news about the Borderlands movie on Twitter. “The Borderlands Cinematic Universe is not identical to the Borderlands Videogame Universe,” said Pitchford. “We are authentic to characters, tone and style, but allow for independent storylines. “The mediums are not the same, so the content should not be bound to the same rules.” According to the plot released by Liongate over the weekend, Lilith will be returning to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of “the universe’s most powerful S....

The book was the basis for the majority of the recent Netflix series, so if you binged through that over Christmas you’ll be retreading old ground. However, it’s also the ideal starting point to get into The Witcher novel series. If you find yourself enjoying it you can move straight on to Blood of Elves where Andrzej Sapkowski’s five-volume The Witcher saga begins proper. Sadly, none of those is on sale right now!...

The run was recently shared on Reddit, where a user posted details of returning speedrunner ZFG’s world-record-setting playthough from earlier this week. You can check out the Reddit post below. “The king is back,” writes the poster in a comment serving as an addendum to the original post. “ZFG takes the record back from Glitchymon with a 13 second lead.” For those less familiar with the speedrunning scene, 13 seconds in a game that came out 22 years ago is the equivalent of several hours when converted to speedrunning time....

Carpenter, who likes to “get up late, watch a little news, play a video game, watch some basketball, go [back] to bed,” was asked by Variety a few days before his 75th birthday whether he was directing a Dead Space film. Carpenter had previously expressed interest in directing a film based on the game, but only in passing....

I’ve blazed through NPC Lester Crest’s Grand Theft Auto 5 mission ‘The Construction Assassination’ umpteen times before with a careless volley of ammunition, high-impact firearms and devastating throwables – but this playthrough is different. This time, I’ve installed AtomiicNut’s Black Market Arms Dealing mod, which adds a functioning black market for guns wherein players must buy shooters from back-alley dealers across the state, rather than Ammunation stores. According to the mod’s creator, the thinking here is that this prevents you from getting away with criminal activity with store-bought firearms, as per real life....
