You Can Add Lego Brick To The List Of Things That Can Play Doom

This isn’t some kind of prank, goof, or bit, because Twitter user and maker of things James Brown (not that one) has taken a Lego brick, and turned it into a teeny tiny screen. Earlier this month, Brown decided to go through the effort taking a tiny blue Lego brick, and making it a functioning monitor. And of course, if it’s a computer of some kind, it can run Doom....

Zombie Army 4 Review Plenty Of Blood And Guts But A Lack Of Brains

Hitler has raised the armies of the dead yet again and it’s up to you to travel around Italy and personally shoot each one of them in the head. If you do the deed at long range and with precision, your shots are accompanied by a bullet-tracking camera that slows the action down and displays your kills as a grisly surgery, each bullet piercing rotten organs and passing through multiple soft bodies....

There Are More Stories To Tell With The Doom Slayer Says Doom Eternal Dev

In an interview with Polygon, Doom Eternal game director Hugo Martin has dropped some hints that the series could go on to cover more, untold stories in the future – and that the story of rebooted Doom, really, could only just be beginning. “While this is the end of the story arc that began in Doom (2016), we planted a lot of stakes in the ground with that story,” Martin explains in the interview....

A Plague Tale Requiem Refines And Expands On The Original Like Every Good Sequel Should

Marshalling all the power of next-gen GPUs to render a swarm of 300,000 rats gnashing its way through medieval France is, in and of itself, a pretty neat party trick. The fact that Asobo Studio use it merely as the basis for an arresting, gripping tale of human ingenuity in the face of unfathomable disaster is an astoundingly impressive feat: and as if that wasn’t showing off enough, they’ve now gone and done it twice with A Plague Tale: Requiem, the bold and brilliant sequel to 2019’s Innocence....

Assassin S Creed Valhalla Creative Director On Fan Disappointment You Rightfully Expected To See More

Last night’s Inside Xbox next-gen showcase was a presentation mostly filled with cinematic trailers and games not exclusive to next-gen consoles.
