Prepare to die harder I’ll be the first to say it: it’s going to be the year ofSouls. With the release ofBloodborneonly a month away, which looks to redefine the experience along with its wonderful change of setting, From Software has been busy as of late. But that’s not stopping the studio from re-releasing its previous titleDark Souls IIfor new audiences on new hardware. Recently, the developers released an update for existing versions ofDark Souls IIfor all players, adding in an invasion faction, characters, and even new encounters....

While chances are decent that you either (A) don’t care about theSam and Maxepisodes or (B) have already downloaded it, or will in the next week, and wouldn’t have read a review anyway, I nonetheless consider it my civic duty to warn you that some of the early reviews for the newest episode (Reality 2.0) will spoil the endgame for you. Reviews from both IGN and Gamespy (neither of whom I will link to, for fear that your curiosity will lead you to click on them) reveal not only some of the better jokes in the game, but also spoil (and, in IGN’s case, provide a screenshot of) the playable climax of the game....

Electronic Super Fans I’ve spoken with enough indie developers to know that one successful game doesn’t guarantee future success. People like Team Meat members Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, as well as everyone’s favorite bigot, Markus “Notch” Persson, are the exception rather than the rule. You can have one game that is popular, has sold well and is even recognized as “great,” but then it falls off the face of the Earth and you become irrelevant....

The “Once in a Blue Moon” PTS update is being tested now Welcome back toFallout 76land: next stop, a big summer update.We just got a minor patch recently, but the team is gearing up for the “Once in a Blue Moon” content update, which is still on track for a summer release (no exact date is lined up at the moment).

He stole the show yet again During a demo showing offBatman: Arkham Knightat Sony’s E3 press conference (which showed the caped crusader scaling Gotham City and driving around the Batmobile), the Scarecrow stole the spotlight to broadcast his speech during a face-off with the Penguin. It was creepy, and really cool. This was our first look at the new Scarecrow. Also announced were the Scarecrow Nightmare Missions would only be available on PS4 when the game launches in 2015....

Moon Studios is one to watch Oh thank goodness:Ori and the Blind Forest“was already profitable a week after release,” according to Moon Studios’ Thomas Mahler, and publisher “Microsoft is super happy.” Oriwasn’t just a delight, it was also something of a surprise. I knew to expectsweet blissfrom the art direction and animation, but I didn’t think the movement and eventual attacks would feel so right. As much as a sequel would surely do well for Moon Studios, I likedOrias a one-off story just fine and would rather see that talent go toward a new property (orMetroidorCastlevania)....

However, like many things inResident Evil 4, a little foresight can make this battle exponentially easier. Here’s what you should do....

WithDiablo 4Season 2, the Season of Blood brings a new mechanic:Vampiric Powers. Early in the Seasonal quest, you get a popup that briefly explains Vampiric Powers to you. Unfortunately, it’s not that detailed, and there’s even the possibility you skipped through it. After all, at the beginning of your character’s journey, it may not feel like the information is important. However, one of the windows explains how to equip Vampiric Powers inDiablo 4Season 2....
