The Indie Game Website writes: "Oh my word, July is so hot this year in our infamously wet and windy Britain. Our houses arent built for it, our workplaces arent built for it, and like hell if my pasty British body is built for it. For the good of your health and sanity theres only one thing to do, and thats to take refuge indoors eating ice cream with three desktop fans blasting air in your face while you play video games. Here are some of the marvellous indie games on offer to tide you over until the great outdoors is back to its typical tepid cloudiness."

Rainbow Six Siege bug makes its worst operator its best

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 21:30:10 +0000

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege‘s most beloved and paradoxically least played operator is currently profiting from a bug that finally makes him a viable pick. Tachanka is one of the game's Russian Defense operators, and his unique equipment is a mounted machine gun with a front-facing shield. Such an emplacement may sound invaluable in a ...]

Thanks to Fortnite, it's coming home

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 15:22:23 +0000

It is a truth universally acknowledged by every patriotic English man, woman, and child, that football’s coming home. And forget grassroots support or a new management regime - the true key to England’s World Cup 2018 success (or lack of abject failure, if you prefer) is Fortnite.
Ok, that might be a slight reach, but the team’s captain, Harry Kane, says that Epic’s battle royale is as important part of the squad’s downtime. In an interview with the BBC’s Gabby Logan, Kane said that “playing Fortnite” was what he and the team did when they’re not worrying about scoring goals.
Not many of the games on our list of the best have the backing of international sports stars.
In the interview (via - you can watch highlights of the match it appeared in ) Kane continued “as silly as it sounds, playing Fortnite passes the time quite well. There are quite a few of us playing a few games of that.” Kane, who is currently topping the goal-scoring tables at the tournament, says that he’s “probably” playing more Fortnite at the tournament than he does when he’s playing football at home in England.
The battle royale’s popularity among the England team is well documented. After scoring against Panama during the group stages of the tournament, Jesse Lingard performed the popular ‘Shoot’ dance, which appears as a dance in the game. Kane’s Tottenham and England teammate, Dele Alli, has regularly performed similar dances after scoring goals in the Premier League.

Fortnite's Playground mode is now live

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 14:45:26 +0000

Fortnite’s Playground Mode has returned. The Limited Time game mode, which allows players to build and explore without the threat of imminent death around every corner, went live last night.

The limited time mode was initially scheduled to release last week. Mere hours after its initial launch, however, matchmaking issues meant that Epic had to close the mode, before eventually pulling it from the game. The matchmaking issues were fixed relatively quickly, but further fixes meant that the release of the mode was delayed by nearly a week - the developer tweeted early this morning to confirm that Playground Mode is now available for all players.

Fortnite sits comfortably on our list of the .
In a post on , a spokesperson from Epic confirmed that the company had “completed deploying our servers containing the improved matchmaking changes. All players can now join in on the fun in the Playground LTM.” To access the mode without any further issues, Epic says you’ll need to change your matchmaking region to “auto select,” and check that you’re on your preferred region.
Players have already been building some impressive creations in the mode. The highlight of those, for me at least, is a jousting rig. Using trolleys (and a hell of a lot of wood) two players scoot towards each other down two enormous ramps. As they meet in the middle, one of them pulls a shotgun and kills their friend. But don’t worry, Playground allows for near-instant respawns.

Since Super Mario Run earned over $60 million I really hope we'll get more premium Nintendo mobile games

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 14:36:21 +0000

While we're getting excited for , it's a great time to take a look at a little bit of news regarding Nintendo's first mobile outing, Super Mario Run. You may not think it did crazily well, but recent reports say it's just surpassed $60 million in almost two years which isn't a figure to sniff at.
If you've not been on the internet for the past couple of years, Super Mario Run is Ninty's first whack at mobile gaming. Playing as Mario you zip through a number of courses in this autorunner and can complete it with only one hand.
When it launched it landed with a bang, but dropped to a fizzle and wheeze as players moved on. It's Ninty's only premium mobile title and though it launched on the App Store worldwide in December 2016 (and other areas before that) it took a little while to come to Google Play.

What We Loved From Just Cause 4’s Stupid Demo

Tue, 3 Jul 2018 02:38:06 +0000

Avalanche Studios has been delighting E3 ongoers all week with an action-packed demo of Just Cause 4, and if you’re looking for a traditional preview of what they showed, Javy . However, he’s not the only one who saw the tools of destruction that Rico Rodriguez is packing this time around. Jeff Cork and Jeff Marchiafava also sat in on the demo, with a laser focus on the kind of stupid fun in-game pranksters can look forward to. Rather than keep their ruminations to themselves, they decided to memorialize their thoughts about Just Cause 4 in a text conversation, which you can conveniently view below. You’re welcome!
Jeff Cork: Hello, Jeff Marchiafava! Remember when we saw the Just Cause 4 demo together? What was the biggest surprise for you? Personally, I wasn’t expecting to learn that the tornadoes that were highlighted in the reveal trailer are being controlled by various factions in the game through some kind of weird array of high-powered fans. And no, I am not making that up. The tornadoes in the game are, indeed, being controlled through some kind of weird array of high-powered fans.
Jeff M: Conspiracy theorists rejoice – the government really is controlling the weather! I think the biggest surprise for me was that apparently Avalanche can read my mind and decided to tailor-make Just Cause 4 into exactly what I want from the series – a big dumb playground for me to mess with NPCs in ridiculous ways.
Jeff C: Sure, you could shoot them with your guns, but that’s amateur-hour stuff. During the demo, we got to see all kinds of wacky nonsense. I think they know their audience perfectly; rather than focus on the various socioeconomic conditions that have led to the downfall of this region, we got to see a lengthy masterclass about how physics can be fun. Rico’s repertoire has been enhanced with an upgraded grappler, allowing for even more mayhem. We all had fun using boosters to rocket people, cars, and other things away, but Just Cause 4 puts it on a completely different level. We saw it in action as the demoer methodically shot booster after booster at a crane and cargo container and stuck them together with a tether. Moments later, the contraption sprung to life, whirling around like an out-of-control wrecking ball and ruining everything within its radius.
Jeff M: Yeah, I was delightfully surprised to see that you can customize a bunch of characteristics for how your grappler functions, seemingly for the express purpose of causing goofy shenanigans. Some of the options don’t even make sense in any logical circumstance – why would you ever need a tether that continually contracts and expands between to objects? That only makes sense when you’re trying to do something stupid, and I love that they give players the option. Should we talk about the damn balloons now?
Jeff C: Rico can fire off balloons now, which inflate and – you’re not going to believe this – lift whatever they’re attached to into the air. “Whatever” probably includes what you’re thinking about already. You want to pretend you’re a cutrate Snake and whisk people away with your phony Fulton? They won’t be added to your roster, but your victims will float away. Close enough? You can also put them on the corners of the top of a storage container and create a floating mobile platform – one that, when combined with boosters, can fly you around until it probably slams into a mountain or spirals out of control. You can also equip a mod that lets the balloons follow you around, so you can have a conga line of red barrels above you. Why? I don’t know. Maybe drop them and they’ll explode on your enemies? Asking “Why?” seems fairly fruitless, as you said.

Jeff M: Yeah, unlike the Fulton, there really isn’t a point to it beyond “more physics-based fun,” and that’s good enough for me! I’m really looking forward to diving into the grappler customization and seeing what hilarious combinations you can come up with. The biggest news, however, might be that Avalanche even figured out a way to make the weather fun! Apparently the entire island has simulated wind patterns, which make getting around with Rico’s windsuit a little easier – though I doubt it will stop me from smashing into the sides of mountains. Avalanche said Just Cause 4 simulated a number of weather conditions as well, but the one they were showing off was the aforementioned tornadoes.
Jeff C: They seem to spin real good. During the demo, we saw one tear through an enemy outpost, where it tore up nearly everything in its path – including the red chaos objects, which ordinarily reward Rico with points for destroying them. Guess what? You still get credit for blowing up those generators, gas tanks, and towers, even if the tornado is technically doing all the work for you. He’s not lazy, he’s enterprising! Those chaos objects have a little more utility this time around, beyond blowing up nicely when shot at. For instance, you can put balloons on a gas tank, blow out the back of it, and watch as the resulting jet flame propels the tank away like a missile toward some enemy fighters. And then, of course, it explodes because it’s still Just Cause.
Jeff M: It is indeed more Just Cause, which is exactly what I wanted from the series in the first place. The new island seems massive and varied, the destruction physics have been kicked up a notch, and everything is gorgeous. I think the real fun is going to be experimenting – Rico has a new box of toys, and I look forward to playing with them!
Jeff C: Boom.

Fortnite week 10 challenges leaked

Mon, 2 Jul 2018 16:10:20 +0000

Fortnite’s fourth season is winding down but we still have the week 10 challenges left to complete - and now we know what those goals are going to entail. Mostly we’ve got the usual suspects here, though there is a return for a more specialized incentive, with skydiving rings making their way back after a season three debut.
Dataminers have pulled out the full list of challenges, most of which are fairly straightforward. Searching chests and eliminating opponents are probably goals you’re going after anyway, though you’re going to want to make an extra effort for supply drops this time around. You’ll also need to spend some extra time in Junk Junction and Fatal Fields, with goals for searching chests and defeating opponents in each respective location.
You want the ? You got 'em.

Search Chests in Junk Junction - 0/7
Deal damage to opponents structures - 0/5000
Search a Chest, Ammo Box, & Supply Drop in a single match - 0/3
Skydive through floating Rings - 0/20
Search between movie titles - 0/1 (hard)
Eliminate Opponents - 0/10 (hard)
Eliminate opponents in Fatal Fields - 0/3 (hard)

This all comes courtesy of the folks at . As usual, the standard challenges get you five Battle Pass stars, while the hard challenges net you ten.
That’s, of course, assuming you still need to finish ranking up your Battle Pass this close to the end of the season. The is scheduled for next week, and we’re already well on our way thanks to a .

Jurassic World Evolution enclosure guide - how to keep your dinosaurs from eating each other

Mon, 2 Jul 2018 15:10:00 +0000

If Jurassic World Evolution proves anything it’s that a lot of work goes into creating a park of genetically engineered dinosaurs. You have to worry about feeding them, keeping them healthy, and oh my goodness please make sure they don’t escape. Watching as your guests are turned into a banquet is terrible for your stress levels.
Then there’s the issue of efficiency and space within your park. On each of The Five Deaths - the islands you build on in the game - you’re given a small patch of land to work with. This means you often have to pair different species together in enclosures as you introduce new dinosaurs to your park. You’ll have to learn to make the best use of every available inch as you demarcate each dinosaur enclosure, then.
Managing dinos too much for you? Try one of the .
Put incompatible species together in the same pen and you’ll suffer the devastating consequences. Your attractions will starve, or worse - get eaten by their much larger and toothier neighbours.
With that in mind, we’ve put together a simple guide to building better enclosures in Jurassic World Evolution. We’ll quickly get you up to speed with which dinosaurs you can house together and how to keep them all happy and healthy. Making a good herbivore enclosure
Herbivores are the easiest dinosaurs to enclose together. The reason why is obvious: they won’t eat each other. But that doesn’t mean they come without their own problems.
