It’s that time of the year when gamers can snag a bunch of games at heavily discounted prices, and, with the advancement of the internet, do so from the comfort of their homes without having to venture out to a store on Black Friday. And while it used to only possible to get steep savings once a year, Black Friday now essentially runs for an entire week. While Microsoft’s deals won’t really have anything for PlayStation or Nintendo gamers, there’s still plenty of opportunities for Xbox players to pick up some new games and hardware....

“Diversity is not just a token, it’s just interesting to have different people coming from different cultural backgrounds, professional backgrounds, and countries,” says former Quantic Dream developer Caroline Marchal. “You’ve got people with different points of views coming at the story and at the experience and being like, ‘what do you think about that? How about we do that like this?’ It just improves what we’re making.” Marchal is the CEO and creative director of Interior/Night, a new London-based studio creating Xbox exclusive As Dusk Falls as its first game....
Over the weekend, inXile Entertainment uploaded a pretty hefty slice of Wasteland 2 gameplay for the wider world to enjoy. After a bit of scene-setting preamble the footage gets into the meat of the game itself, narrated by inXile’s Chris Keenan.

Whether you backed the original Kickstarter campaign or are just interested in classic RPGs, it’s definitely worth a watch....
The first person shooter genre has transformed into an entirely different beast over the past few decades. Compared to their 90s counterparts, modern FPS games have better A.I., more advanced levels of complexity, and most importantly, they’re just so dang pretty to look at. However, there’s still something appealing about the FPS games of the 90s. Even though the genre was at its most basic and crude form, there’s a certain charm to just how stupidly violent and vulgar these games managed to be....

It’s that time again where we dive into League of Legends patch updates. Despite being considerably smaller than most patches, patch 10.7 has shown some pretty hefty changes to move around for some of the tankier champions like Galio and Nasus. With the Fiddlesticks rework coming out this patch, I honestly feel a little bit terrified both of him and the buffs given to Nasus and Galio. Champion Changes Akali—Buff Akali will have her Shuriken Flip(E) changed from physical damage to magic damage....
