So this happened. Back in October Microsoft was allegedly in talks to acquire Obsidian Entertainment, purveyor of the best modern Fallout in New Vegas (we have proof) and more recently, the Pillars of Eternity series. Well, t...

Shake the sand loose from those undesirable places because it's time we fill them with video game news from today's episode that features the following: Slimy Nintendo Switch hardware rumors! Pokémon GO is getting more strange litt...

At E3 2018, Microsoft boldly revealed its new initiative to release more first-party games for Xbox and Windows 10 PC through acquisition of talented studios. It came alongside the announcement from Xbox head Phil Spencer that Microsoft had...

More than four years after it first released, South Park: The Stick of Truth is finally swinging to what's presumably its final platform. Swinging like a certain pair of giant, hairy, flying testicles, that is. (Sorry, I couldn't resis...

Ubisoft has announced that South Park: The Stick of Truth will be heading to the Switch soon. While no firm release date was given, the title showed up in Ubisoft's Q1 sales press release under the "Digital Only" section. You can also see t...

Twitch Prime is giving out free games throughout July and right now, you can score Fullbright's space-station adventure Tacoma and Obsidian Entertainment's RPG Tyranny. They're up for grabs until July 18. Are these games worth your time? Ta...

Who doesn't love a good non-lethal run? It both challenges the player as well as reconstructs the violent norms by which most video games operate. How about an extra hard difficulty run? Most of the time it's just a way for someone to brag ...

Obsidian's first crack at substantial add-on content for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is coming early next month. The Beast of Winter DLC has been set for August 2. Here's how Obsidian describes The Beast of Winter: "Upon rec...

Judging by the general reaction and comments lately, I'm sure many of you are highly anticipating your adventures and online interactions in Fallout 76! But, what if you could access those wonderful online interactions and experiences you m...

It's only a month, but it might feel like an eternity to hardcore CRPG players. Obsidian's newest game needs just a little bit more time, and that revelation comes mere weeks before launch. Obsidian announced today that Pillars of Eternity ...

[Update: A representative for the publisher has confirmed the details of the Game Informer story to us, but there's no additional information to share at this time.] CRPG stands for computer role-playing game, and Pillars of Eternity I...

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is fast approaching. After securing $4.4 million in funding through Fig last year, Obsidian is already circling a PC release date for the CRPG sequel: April 3, 2018. That's soon. If you're invested in this w...

After years of delays and setbacks, South Park: The Fractured But Whole will finally be landing on consoles this Tuesday. The verdict is still out on whether that extra time was well spent, but if you just have to have everything South Park...

Kickstarter may have lost a little of its luster since the campaigns of Double Fine Adventure and the Ouya, but one of the most successful game crowdfunding campaigns to date resulted in Pillars of Eternity, a modern throwback to isometric ...

South Park has never been shy when it comes to comedy. While writers Matt Stone and Trey Parker will sometimes go for pure shock value, their satire tends to be very biting and very reflective of modern society. It looks like that final poi...

Australia is known for a lot of things; deadly animals, intense heat, Crocodile Dundee, AC/DC and extreme censorship laws. That last bit has ruined a bunch of game releases in the land down under (just ask our resident Aussie, Dennis). Thro...

Yesterday, we told you about Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, a new CRPG from Obsidian that would only happen if people were willing to fund it before development. Well, people were certainly willing to fund it before development. Like the...

Pillars of Eternity is one of the best video game crowdfunding success stories there is. It raised nearly $4 million during its Kickstarter campaign, and then developer Obsidian took that money and made a quality product. Pillars of E...

I really can't get enough of RPGs in the vein of Baldur's Gate or Planescape: Torment. Those type of games, which I guess we call "cRPG" now, helped shape what I enjoy in the gaming medium. I enjoyed Pillars of Eternity, though it didn...

Obsidian Entertainment and an RPG fan? Then you probably know of this puppy, Tyranny, that's going live in just one day. For the rest of us, take note as the latest title from Obsidian comes with all the right keyword tags on Steam: CRPG, i...

Fallout 4 may not have been as impressive as past entries as far as the narrative goes, but it brought about a number of great quality-of-life changes. Of course, those can easily be modded into past games, which is just what Xilandro ...

Now that it has been thoroughly expanded, Pillars of Eternity can be left to sit and digest while folks work on that Triple Crown achievement. In the meantime, though, Obsidian has a new game in the Pillars of Eternity style called Tyranny...

Whenever I describe Pathfinder Adventure Card Game to somebody (usually when I am trying to get them to play it), I start with a caveat. "On its surface, all you really do is flip a card and roll some dice. But for some reason I like it." I...

Fallout 4 is a pretty good open world game that a lot of people are still enjoying weeks after launch, but I couldn't help but feel like it was a downgrade from New Vegas in many ways. Most of you agreed. That's because Bethesda d...
