Your next free Epic Games Store game is Wolfenstein: The New Order

Right on schedule, Epic Games has announced the next game going free for a week on the Epic Games Store.

Following on from last week's BioShock: The Collection, this week's prize is Wolfenstein: The New Order. The New Order is MachineGames' 2014 reboot of the classic shooter series, and possibly the best in the series (depending on who you ask). [Read More]

From Thanos to Skeletor, here's some of the best SoulCalibur 6 character creations

SoulCalibur 6's character creator is one of the coolest, most open-ended parts of the new fighter - and fans are having an absolute ball with it. We reported on one of our favourite SoulCalibur 6 character creations last week, when players started using an innocuous group of items to create enormous dongs to add them to characters in order to troll online. Lizardman with a massive knob is still hilarious, but we figured it was also worth demonstrating that SoulCalibur 6's create-a-soul mode was actually capable of creating some awesome, memorable customs that don't involve dicks.

Red Dead Redemption 2’s Hot Coffee mod lets Arthur enjoy a reverse cowgirl

Remember when Rockstar cut a sex minigame from GTA San Andreas and kept it in the source code, only for modders to bring it back to life, sparking mass controversy? The Hot Coffee mod, as it came to be called - named after the fact CJ’s girlfriend would invite him in for a coffee and they’d go to Bone Town - was a nightmare for Rockstar at the time. I like to imagine it would be less controversial now, since we’ve moved on from polygonal character models flailing around, and plenty of games have full-on sex scenes. [Read More]

Thanks to Warzone Season 2 Reloaded, Rebirth Island is the best it's ever been

It’s been a few days now since the launch of the new Rebirth Island alongside the Warzone Season 2 Reloaded update, with the map getting a massive overhaul and a range of new additions in the form of new points of interest, weapon trading points, and more.

Alt/char reports that the boss of Gearbox revealed the existence of a new Brothers in Arms game on the latest AIAS Game Maker’s Notebook podcast, though he isn’t ready to officially announce it yet.

Should you side with Jack Matt or Juan in Dying Light 2?

The politics isn’t limited to Dying Light 2’s inter-factional rivalries, but infects the inner workings of each group too. As you work your way through the main story, Aiden is presented with a quandary: continue working with Jack Matt and the Peacekeepers, or side with the underworld fixer, Juan? Where other story choices haven’t had a huge impact on the eventual outcome of Dying Light 2, this one seems to have some far-reaching implications that aren’t immediately apparent. [Read More]
