Two weeks ago, WB Games flew me out to LA to play two hours of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. As a long-time fan of the series (and a diehard Lego fan in general), I’ve been nothing short of ravenous to get my hands on it. Now that I have, I’m eagerly looking forward to the final release, especially since I gained a much clearer view of what this game actually is.First, a disclaimer: I played Legacy of the Dark Knight in a beautifully designed event space decorated with actual props from Batman films, and WB Games paid…

Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Bad Robot Games have released new details for the co-op third-person shooter 4:LOOP. It includes details on the bosses including the cube based “scanner” boss, several gameplay mechanics, and more.   The full details: No Two Bosses Are Alike One of our main goals when designing bosses in 4:LOOP is making each of them unique—not only in their visual design, but in how they behave. We know we’re on the right track when a boss requires players to adopt new forms of cooperation, improvisation, and combinations of equipment and abilities. All of this results…

When players compare online slots, RTP usually gets the first glance. A 96% game looks better than a 94% game. Simple enough. But RTP is often treated like a short-term promise, and that is where the confusion starts.RTP, or Return to Player, is a theoretical long-term figure. A slot with 96% RTP is designed to return £96 for every £100 wagered over a huge number of spins. Not ten spins. Not one evening. Not “I put in £100, where is my £96?” The maths does not work that neatly, sadly. The reels are not customer service. This is why volatility…

But unlike most of us, it had an unfortunate front row seat to watch its country become embroiled in a brutal – and still ongoing – war with Russia. These experiences have profoundly affected the direction of Metro 2039, the fourth mainline entry in the post-apocalyptic first-person shooter franchise.If you’re new to Metro, the universe is inspired by the Metro series of novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The games…
