Hyrule Space Program Oromuwak Shrine is a fun puzzle shrine inTears of the Kingdomthat, like many others, focuses on a specific area of gameplay. Unlike other shrines you may have played, Oromuwak doesn’t focus on any skills or abilities that Link has. Instead, it’s all about how to use rockets in the game. The new building system gives players nearly endless possibilities, and rockets can play a large part of that throughout the game....

Mike from the YouTube teamWarialaskyis up to his ol’ shenanigans, once again using videogame items to be a right d*ck in the real world. Above, he uses a supply of Poké Balls to jack any vehicle he has his heart set on. Unfortunately for him, not even the mighty Master Ball is able to capture a Ferrari. Sounds like someone got slipped a “Lemon” Ball instead! Ha ha ha! Bad automobile humor....

And some other stuff Thus far, the only known pre-order bonus forDestiny 2was early access to thebeta that just ended. Now that that’s done with, you knew something else would come up. It turns out it’s a new exotic weapon in a class all its own. Coldheart is an exotic trace rifle, which is a new weapon type forDestiny 2. It functions as a continuous beam of energy whose damage increases the longer its on a target....

I completely forgot this was supposed to launch so soon We’re only two weeks into 2021 and publishers are already ripping off the delay Band-Aid. We haven’t seen or heard much fromRiders Republic–just enoughthat it’s on the radar forSteepfans and people who wanted to like that game but couldn’t quite get there for whatever reason. With that in mind, I’m surprised to recall that the game was supposed to come out on Jul 14, 2025....

As a Bethesda game,Starfieldcomes from an interesting legacy. Modern gamers likely know the studio for titles likeFallout 4andThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, both of which launched on console and PC simultaneously. However, the company’s earliest works were PC-exclusive, excluding the oddWayne Gretzky Hockeyfor the NES. For this reason, some may wonder if a controller or keyboard would be better for taking to the sea of stars in Starfield. In short,both controller and keyboard players will have a good time withStarfield....

As withEl Viento, I hadn’t heard ofSol-Deacebefore Retro-Bit’s reproduction of it was announced. However, it’s a good partner since, likeEl Viento, it was developed by Wolf Team. Sol-Deacehas something of a confusing history. It was originally released in Japan in 1990 on the Sharp X68000 where it was calledSol-Feace. It would then be ported to the Sega CD in 1991, but when it arrived on a Genesis/Mega Drive cartridge in 1992, it was namedSol-Deace....

Faster than a speeding bullet After watching a great deal of the week long Awesome Games Done Quickly charity livestream, I’ve gained a new appreciation for the ingenuity and thought process of speed runners. Still, it’s crazy how many new tricks are being discovered for decades old games. The latest discovery comes for 1991’sSuper Mario World, in where you can set off a glitch that triggers the end cutscene, by hitting a series of very specific requirements on the first level....

This is a Kickstarter waiting to happen A short, unassuming notice was sent out today declaring the return of Appeal’s beloved 1999 action-adventure gameOutcast. Wait, what? It’s really happening: studio founders Yann Robert, Franck Sauer, and Yves Grolet have wrapped up an agreement with Atari Europe SAS to acquire theOutcastintellectual property. The trio is said to “have started the revival of the franchise and will soon announce further developments.” The open-world PC title was in many ways ahead of its time, and with the current landscape of PC gaming, it seems like a strangely perfect time forOutcastto make a comeback....
