Since the dawn of time, humanity has yearned for one thing: to trip balls and return to nature. While you’re not legally allowed to do that in most territories, the next best thing is a digital tour of the wild side in the few games brave enough to offer your in-game character a bag of cactus buttons. Will GTA 6 continue a proud tradition pioneered by its predecessor in the space of expanding your mind and giving you a sneak peek at what awaits you when you reincarnate and return to nature? Will I become an alligator in digital spirit?…

Game designer, astronaut, and Texan castle owner Richard Garriott has revealed that he intends to take back control over Ultima, the classic RPG series he sold to EA in the ’90s. In a statement delivered to Inside Games, Garriott expressed frustration with EA’s stewardship of the series, and said he intends to retake the series as soon as next year. However, he does not intend to purchase Ultima off EA outright, instead making use of a copyright quirk. Inside Games reached out to Garriott after spotting that EA filed multiple new trademarks regarding Ultima. His response didn’t clarify what EA’s…

It’s a 5-4 game in the bottom of the ninth inning in Pittsburgh, and it looks like the Pirates might drop one to the struggling Minnesota Twins. But Spencer Horwitz gets on base with a scrappy infield single. With one out, Bryan Reynolds steps up to the plate. On a 2-2 count, he absolutely demolishes a fastball, sending it over the left-field wall as fireworks erupt. Ballgame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hu7sDCUCOc I’m on top of the world, watching clips of the walk-off blast from every angle I can find. Who do the Twins even think they are, trying to sneak that fastball by…

When Remedy released Control in 2019, it didn’t fit neatly into any existing space. It wasn’t quite a booming AAA shooter, nor quite an indie darling, but rather its own strange little AA joint destined for “cult classic” status. Control‘s winning combination of brutalist aesthetics, mundane everyday items and office spaces, and the weird fiction of urban myths and creepypasta tales quickly carved out its own space, one which would grow in size as adoration for the oddly shaped hit spread.  Mikael Kasurinen, the creative director behind Control and its sequel, Control Resonant, tells me that the success of this…

When you first try to go to the Deku Tree in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mido will stop you and tell you that you need a sword and shield before you can head off.

Fortnite OG has been a bit of a mixed bag, largely just because Chapter 1 feels primitive for a lot of the folks who weren’t there for it the first time. But it was during the late stages of Chapter 1 when Fortnite really found its stride creatively–Season 9 was such a fun shakeup that it could almost pass for a more modern season of Fortnite. And now it’s time to go back to the future, with Fortnite OG preparing to kick off its awesome new sci-fi makeover. While Epic hasn’t fully detailed what we can expect from Fortnite OG…

Uwe Boll, best known for his atrocious movies based on video game licenses, has just seen his latest movie banned in Germany for its likelihood to incite violence against migrants. In a recent interview (as reported by Variety) Boll denied that the content of Death Wish-inspired anti-immigration flick Citizen Vigilante, due for release by Quiver in the U.S. on Friday, makes him a Nazi. And we’ve got this far into the story before mentioning the movie stars one-time alleged cannibalism-fantasist Armie Hammer. Uwe Boll has always tiresomely courted controversy like an attention-seeking toddler pushing a vase off a table, and in recent years…

Earlier this week, it was reported that Microsoft has entered negotiations to shut down, or grant independence to, acclaimed action-game studio Ninja Theory just a mere eight days after the studio revealed its newest title, Senua, at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. While the potential dismantling of a tenured studio is always tragic, Ninja Theory leaves behind a legacy that goes beyond video games, ultimately shaping Hollywood films that perhaps would not have been made without the studio’s ambition. Founded in 2000 under the name Just Add Monsters, Ninja Theory built itself upon a promise of delivering high-octane action games…
