You don’t say… With a year full of 15 exclusiveXbox One titles promised, what are the chances that some of those games will eventually make it over to PC? In a chat withShacknews, Redmond Game Studios and Platforms general manager Matt Booty said that “the Windows 8 gamer is certainly going to participate in some of that content.” Before you even get the chance to jump to any conclusions, here’s the plan for Windows 8: “…we have got everything from very, very casual games, like our very much improved and reimaginedSolitaire, all the way to graphically complicated games likeThe Harvest....

Now through September 6, if you buy an Xbox One S (or the original Xbox One) from Microsoft, you will receive a free $50 Microsoft Store gift code, a free Ubisoft game, and even $10 off towards an Xbox One wireless controller purchase.

Carter’s Quest [Read on for a description of everyMetroidgame ever released in the US, and my completion of them all in 2013.] As 2012 came to a close, I really enjoyed my opportunity to tackle everyResident Evil,Tony Hawk,Kingdom Hearts, andWariogame ever.

Before I embark upon the journey of gaming in 2014 however (and all of the Quests that it entails), I have one more Carter’s Quest to share with the world....

Normally,Vehicle Legendsis about making money and buying high-class cars, planes, and boats to travel around a luxurious city. But you’ll occasionally find surprises, with the latest event having 50 colored Eggs scattered around town. Although many of these eggs are in easy spots, some are tricky. Before starting, I recommendbuying a plane. While you’re able to find every egg by driving, having an airplane makes it easier to travel across the map in case you need to backtrack....

Weekly quests often ask you to seek out specific locations around the vast island inFortnite. These tasks usually involve spots you might not be super familiar with, like BURD To Go gas stations. All main locations are marked by name on the map, but smaller ones like the BURD To Go gas stations aren’t, so finding them can be pretty tricky. The names of these locations only pop up once you’re actually there, which means you’d best need to know where to find them before you set out....

I can’t say I blame 2K for highlighting Tiny Tina’s side quest as part of theirBorderlands 2demo earlier this week. Wealready knowthe game is going to be hilarious, but Burch’s portrayal of the 13-year-old pigtailed psychopath just sweetened the deal for me. Watch the video preview above for a sneak peek of Tiny Tina’s mission, along with a first look at some of the game’s new features, including a Secret Stash that lets you trade items between characters and a Badass ranking that improves your stats!...

Larian Studios’ seminalBaldur’s Gate 3launched over a month ago, and despite other solid releases being sprinkled after, I keep returning to Faerun. It captured my imagination in a way I haven’t felt in games since I was a kid. I wondered why this was until I thought about how it handles romance. When I shippedKarlach and Lae’zeltogether, I comparedBaldur’s Gate 3to dating sims rather than other RPGs and everything clicked. This is a fantastic RPG, but more importantly, it’s an awesome dating sim....

As one of the premiere survival games of yesteryear that keeps coming back into relevance through sheer persistence and perseverance,Ark: Survival Evolvedis a bit of a must-play. Thing is, though, that the base game is just the start, and there’s a wealth of DLC to choose from, too. To be a tad more specific,Ark: Survival Evolvedhas two tiers of DLC to choose from: the map DLCs are free, while the actualexpansion packsare feature-rich and content-heavy in most ways that matter....

Welcome to the future! VR is pretty big now. Remember way back then when it was just a crude video experience? Strapping cameras to your face with only a few color outputs? I recall seeing aTekkenVR experience in a Gameworks once, where you stepped into a blue room and were expected to throw out lame punches and kicks to register simple attacks in the game. And this wasn’t even aTekkenbuilt for VR — just aTekkengame jury-rigged to simulate VR actions....

It is available for $9.99, which seems like a pretty good deal, and includes the “Dimensional Vortex” and “Lost Sanctum” areas added in prior handheld releases. And, yet, I still know that I’ll never get around to finishing it....
