Say two ‘Hail Mary’s’ and an ‘Our Father’ WhileCivilization VIis an excellent game, its not without some flaws. The most noticeable shortcoming as with the religious victory path. Not only was the combat pretty brain dead, but it was far too easy to amass a small convent of priests and have them convert other cities to your creed. The tile based nature of the game map also meant that religious units often occupied spaces that your army would travel on, thus making military action harder to accomplish....

This is the real heist Nearly four years into its life cycle,Grand Theft Auto Onlinerefuses to die. In fact, it’s only getting stronger. Its continued success comes to the surprise of almost everyone — including the parent company that it’s practically printing money for. Take-Two Interactive released itsfirst quarter 2018 investor’s reporttoday, and it’sGTA Onlinethat’s leading the charge. Year-over-year revenue grew 34 percent, up to $418.2 million from $311.6 million. Take-Two points directly at digitally-delivered revenue for the spike, as that segment is up nearly $100 million over 2017’s first fiscal quarter....

Developers received a nasty surprise when Unity announced that those who use its game engine will be subject to a runtime fee, beginning next year. This runtime fee will be charged monthly on a per-installation basis. Predictably, this led to awave of complaints among developers, many of them small indie creators, pointing out how this change could affect their ability to profitably make games. Many also feel deceived, as the new system goes against Unity’s previous terms of service....

Even if I primarily play it on PC and Xbox Series X, I’m still amazed thatThe Witcher 3on Nintendo Switch (otherwise known as “The Switcher”)fits on one physical cart. I’m also amazed that, nearly four years after the Switch version’s October 2019 release, the publisher is still patching the game intermittently. This newest hotfix involves ambient audio issues, which should now be cleared up. The hotfix addresses ambient audio issues Here’s the full statement from CD Projekt Red,via theWitchergame franchise’s Twitter account:...

Sure, why not? A ratings board listing has outed the existence ofFruit Ninja Kinect 2. You cool with that? Fruit Ninjawasone of the rare titlesfor Xbox 360 that made decent use of the motion-sensing device, so it makes sense that the newer console would want one, too — not a lot of Kinect software on Xbox One currently. Curiously, a company calledHibernumis listed as the author ofFruit Ninja Kinect 2, while Halfbrick Studios will apparently be publishing this time around....
